Hello, I did a frozen embryo transfer today and my nurse told me my estrogen level is 721. She said it can’t be too high but to continue my meds as usual. I google and it says above 500 has less chance of IVF success and now I’m freaking out because I’ve had 2 failed IVFs and really hoping this to work. Did anyone h...

So had all the test, ultrasound and bloods. Nothing found on either, so been told to just keep trying. Worried about secondary infertility now, does that mean there is no chance/hope? Anyone have any advice of where to go from here?

Hi all, can anyone else see a VVFL on this or is it my imagination? For context I am only 6DPO after my first IUI (no self-discipline to wait 🫣). Thanks for any/all responses! Update: Thanks ladies, did another test using a different brand and got the same VVFL. Hubbie says he can’t see anything 😆

Does anyone have any helpful info they have shared with others to help them understand the process of IVF? My manager is wants to learn more, so they can support me and thought would be easiest to send them something

First time I heard from it today while navigating the internet. With my first baby I got pregnant in the first month we tried. I want another baby, I struggle sometimes with my marriage. But I know I want more babies. Long story short, 3 month that I had unprotected sex with my husband, thinking each month I was goi...

I’ve always had slightly irregular cycles usually ranging from 32-36 days. In march I started taking a prenatal and 2g Myo inositol twice daily. That first cycle I started taking it I had a 49 day cycle. I put it down to the vitamins so stopped taking them and then the next cycle was 33 days, so still on the longer ...

Hey everyone just a question having ivf next year at bourn hall clinic who has been successful on the first round? Anyone got any successful stories from bourn hall?

First off just wanted to say that LO is very much wanted and loved but all through my IVF pregnancy I was too scared to get excited, kept telling myself that it probably wouldnt happen and now it has (LO is 12 weeks) I'm finding it really strange, like I'm looking after someone else's baby .. almost like I still can...

Hi, I have my first iui soon. Super nervous but also excited. Today i had a follicle scan. I had just 10 small follicles (under 10mm) on the left side but 3 follicles, 15, 13,12 on the right side plus 7 small ones. I will probably take my trigger in 2 days. Will all of the 3 follicles burst at the same time and will...

So I literally don’t know whether I want another child. We have been not using contraception for ages and it’s not happened so I’m wondering whether to just give up now. I’m pretty much on the fence about wanting another I can take it or leave it essentially. So I’m wanting to know your opinions, pros and cons of...

Hi all, Just looking for some hope after feeling really sad our third round of IVF failed (got AF today) and none in the freezer. I went to a friend's house tonight and one of the girls said she wouldn't have any more kids as she's 'too old'. She's younger than me 😔 I'm 39 (40 in a few months and husband is 45. I…

So today I had my day 12 scan and I had 5 follicles between 18-13mm and 3 less than 10 mm. The doc wants me to do one more day of stim then go in for retrieval. I really don’t know how I feel about it. Based on my past experience, I need to have at least 14 follicles in order to have a successful cycle. Being that...
