From IVF and IUI to medication and egg donation, fertility treatments can feel overwhelming. But Peanut is here with expert advice and real stories from real women who get it.
I’m trying to not overthink things but it’s quite hard. We will be starting our first round of IVF soon and all I can think is what I’m scared of - I’m scared I’ll produce no eggs - I’m scared I’ll produce too many eggs and not be allowed a fresh transfer - I’m scared no eggs will fertilise - I’m scared no eggs wi...
Hi! We are starting ivf in January. Any advice? Anything you’ve heard of that we could start doing now to help our chances? (Referred under male factor) Anything to help while going through it? Thanks from an excited but very nervous girl! Xx
I'm 39 and have low AMH. I've just completed my 3rd round of ICSI, and got the dreaded call this morning from the embryologist. Unfortunately out of the 4 eggs collected, 2 were mature but didn't fertilise. Hubby and I are devastated, but I don't want to give up. I'm in search of a clinic in London that specialises...
Has anyone had thrush after FET. It is only mild, I asked my clinic if I can use canister cream, they advised me to book appt with my GP and can not advise what is safe to take. Anyone in the UK knows getting a GP appt is impossible, to the point I have even taken myself to A&E before as I couldn't get one. I have ...
So my partner is saying that he isn’t ready to start trying again for another child. Our little girl is nearly 2. I suffer with conceiving as it took us 8 years to fall pregnant with our daughter due to my PCOS. I’m so scared that I’ll struggle again and it will take years. I really want another child and don’t want...
Looking for some advice on a medicated frozen ivf transfer. My clinic injected me with Zoladex on day 17 of my cycle, and said I should get a period 7-10days after it, before I need to start the oestrogen meds, but I’m now on day 10 and no period yet. (I’m now on day 27 of my cycle today, usually they are 25-28 day...
So we were seen by Fertility specialist was quick appointment and I forgot to ask costs... I've heard the first time is free ? Is that so or are there some cost.. if so how much am I looking forward to having 😂 I asked at last appointment the secretary and was given a vague answer, she said that is some cost ok but…
Hello I would appreciate a little help. So I have to come to the realisation that to have a baby I’m going to need IVF. I’m doing a lot of research, one question I have is I struggle to take tablets , literally unless chewing I can’t swallow never have been able to since a teenager. So with the medication for ...
Did you do a transfer with a tested or untested embryo? Did it work or not? Please just people 35 and under for their very first round. Feel free to leave a comment about your experience
After three years finally began my IVF journey through the NHS. Looking for any advice about the process. I’ve only just had my first initial appointment this week. Feeling excited but anxious at the same time! 🫠
Just learned that it could take up to 6 months to start IUI. I was hoping 2 months! All my blood tests are clear but they come from my doctor, not the clinic. It's the blood tests that seem to take so long. To be honest, I don't care if the clinic make money through new blood tests, I just want to fastrack everyth...
Just got my ivf consultation date, (private) 11/11 what are that chances of starting any thing this year?
We’ve got our IVF consultation coming up which we have had to pay for. I’m nervous because I’ve got a feeling the appointment is to fill in consent forms and work out costs. I really hope there’s more to it than that because we’ve had to pay £240 for the appointment and I’m not convinced it’s going to be anything o...
Anyone conceived yet ? This group/page has been very silent 🥲sending lots of baby dust to everyone 🤞🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Having our setup/testing appt next week finally for our first and hopefully only ivf round. Was originally planning on doing the genetic carrier testing pre-retrieval and we’re also doing pgt testing - did others do both or just embryo testing? I’m only hesitant because they say the carrier screening can take up to ...
