Hello! We're now 3 years TTC and 1 IVF cycle done with zero results. We've been classed as unexplained, which makes it all the more frustrating! Anyone in a similar situation who managed to get pregnant naturally eventually? Or did they find out what the problem was while doing IVF? I don't know if I should give up ...

Hoping for some advice. We have had six unsuccessful rounds of IVF in the UK using mine and my husband’s own eggs and sperm. We then decided to go to the Czech Republic to try embryo donation. I got pregnant for the very first time with a genetically tested embryo but unfortunately, it ended in miscarriage. The ...

Has anyone used pre-seed per the instructions and it helped them get pregnant? I’ve been very dry down there since my MC in April and I’m worried that we aren’t getting pregnant since I don’t have a lot of CM. We used a little pre-seed the other day but didn’t use the applicator. Curious to hear what worked for o...

Anyone had their last/final IVF cycle to have a second baby and failed? I’m mentally preparing myself. 😔 How do you feel about just only having 1 child not by choice? Any plans to adopt?

Is it one or the other or do they do separate things ? Sorry if a silly question, just not sure whether to give both or one of the two, and if so which one is best?

I recently started IVF and went through one cycle of stims, will go for FET next month. I was a regular at strength training and HIIT but doc advised to keep it easy during stims. Now, I have had my period and ovaries are still swollen but I have a significant weight gain still. I know I should not bother about th...

I’ve had two IVF cycles, first 3 healthy embryos all failed. Found out I have hidden endometriosis and PCOS. Second retrieval I had 1 embryo and it was not healthy. Insurance coverage for 1 last retrieval. Thinking about switching to try IUI once or twice before going to my last retrieval. Any advice or success stor...

It looks like we might be starting a second round of IVF for baby no 2 soon. We had our little boy via IVF in Dec 22 and he was our only embryo. For the next cycle, the consultant has recommended a higher dose of gonal f instead of menopur. I also have a low amh of 4.7 for my age (33) and my AFC was 5 at the last sc...

Has anyone heard of this/had it considered or used in IVF with ICSI? I've had three rounds of IVF and each time although they collect eggs, sperm parameters aren't terrible, they don't seem to make it through fertilisation. Or when they have the quality of the one and only embryo has been shit.

Hi all, I’m in the process of planing a FET and the Clinique sent me the protocole and it looks like I’ll have to take again lots of hormones and injections… I really was hoping to only have a trigger shot and progesterone post trigger…. Can you kindly share your FET protocols and outcomes?

Hi all, We are about to embark on our 2nd round of IVF after one failed fresh and one failed FET transfer. I’m want to get process started again, but did anyone else just absolutely dread it before the start? We’ve changed our protocol so will be injecting for longer this time and I am just so anxious about it all ...

I’m 8 weeks postpartum and I haven’t completed my injections. I just find it painful after wards and really hate injecting myself🤦🏻‍♀️ did everyone complete theirs in the first 10 days? Is it too late for me to continue? I feel so terrible

Hi ladies! I just wanted to share our success story that derived from extreme male factor infertility. My husband had 1% morphology, 0% motility (yes that's right, no moving sperm) AND low sperm count. We weren't sure if we could ever have kids. Well one IVF cycle and our first FET and I am currently 17 weeks pregna...

Anyone who’s been on the depo injection how long did it take for your cycles to regulate, I had my last injection April last year, I got my first period in February and only had one period since, I’ve been tracking my LH and not had one high reading and I’m currently on day 38 of this cycle. My husband and I are hop...

Hi, my sister has myomas in these two places of the uterus, they’re quite larger, over 10 cm (I think largest one from a year ago was 17 cm?). Just wanted to hear any stories of successful pregnancies or treatments you did prior to getting successfully pregnant please? She has a surgery booked to remove all of them ...

Did anyone else decline PGT-A testing? I just didn’t want to feel alone in the decision, it may or may not be covered with our insurance and we can’t pay that out of pocket right now..

Has anyone had acupuncture during this process? I’ve just started and been told I should have it weekly in the run up to my IVF cycle, then twice a week while in the cycle, plus immediately before and after egg collection and transfer. How frequently did you have it and did you have it pre and post egg transfer too?...

So I have been referred in the end of April to a fertility clinic, my partner also did his tests , and until now still no appointment did anyone that was referred took this long ?

Does anyone have an experience with PCOS and a shorter luteal phase? Has anyone been to the GP and had any advice or treatment? My body doesn’t seem to be giving itself enough time for implantation to occur before AF comes along.

Hi all, Me & my partner have been on the IVF waitlist for a long time. Shockingly, I just got my first ever natural pregnancy test! Tomorrow will be my first day of a missed period, however I have symptoms of my period coming. I'm now feeling terrified, because if this results in a chemical, I'm worried this wil...
