Ttc for a year, no luck. The doctor wanted me to do an hsg test to check for blocked ovaries, which at the time it was $1000 for an x-ray. I told him i couldn't afford it at the time. What else could we do in mealtime. So I was on clomid 50mg for a month, and it didn't work. I'm starting to feel that his suspeciousn...

When did your SECOND period arrive after egg retrieval? I had my withdrawal bleed 5 days after my egg retrieval and I'm now 4 days late with my period in the following cycle. I'm waiting on this period to plan for embryo transfer and I'm getting very impatient!

Does the flu jab affect fertility? I’m worrying about having mine as we’re going to TTC next month but I need my flu jab for health reasons but don’t want that affecting our chances 😩

hi all. i’m hoping for some advice from people who may have been in this position before, please? i’ve just had a failed ivf cycle (poor response to stims, uneven development of follicles, only 2 mature eggs collected, both fertilised, one transferred at day 3, other didn’t make it to day 5, day 3 embryo didn’t st...

I am considering doing an endometrial biopsy before my FET considering I only have 2 embryos frozen from 3 retrievals. I was wondering how soon after the biopsy can the transfer happen? I am eager to get going with a transfer but realize I would rather discard any implantation issues soon, but worried it will be an...

Hi! I am 7 weeks tomorrow. I’ve been doing IVF privately and all being well tomorrow we get handed over to the NHS. Do I need to ring my doctor and tell them? How do I register - do I just call the hospital I want to go to and say ‘hey I’m pregnant’ - as you can tell this is my first and I feel like I’ve done so muc...

Posting anonymously but has anyone ever gotten pregnant on the mirena IUD. I’m having some of the exact same symptoms of pregnancy that I had with my first and atp I’m honestly kind of scared

Hello, My partner and I are attending our consultation at St Mary’s next month and I was hoping somebody could help advise on their experience/what to expect next. We had our initial tests earlier this year, so we’re expecting to be told treatment recommendations/next steps, but I wondered what the timings are lik...

So I got my AMH back of .803! Is this too low to get pregnant naturally or with IUI? Does anyone know I'm 35 and trying for my first :(

I’m having my implant taken out next Wednesday and I’ve been on contraception consecutively for about 3 and a bit years… how long will it take for my body to go back to regularity so I can start trying to conceive?

Hope you are all doing well! I'm 10+5 and I've already had 4 scans due to bleeding (big gushes at some points!). Baby is doing so well and we're officially further than we've been in the last 7 years so taking the milestone as a win. I've been diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma, which research seems to show is...

My husband just gave me my nightly PÍO … im 5dp3dt. The injection was more in the center of my butt rather than upper outer quadrant. I am panicking. Anyone have this happen?!

In need of some help. Just got home to a letter saying I need to go for a colposcopy after my latest smear results. We are supposed to be starting our first round of IVF at the end of November. All my hope has just gone… anyone have any experience of this, and know how long you have to wait to start IVF after a col...

So I've just come off depo injection because of the whole lawsuit In America thing 😬 we were planning on TTC so it seems like the perfect timing I only had two shots total so was only on it 6 months I had a really long period out of no where 2 weeks ago that lasted 16 days! I was wondering if because I was on it…

Has anyone had successful IVF with AMH <1 pmol?

I’m having my IVF consultation soon where we’ll potentially be able to select when we start our IVF treatment. I’d really like to start January but looking at my predicted cycles I’m due to start my period and therefore treatment on New Year’s Day. Do they still work and carry out IVF over the festive period or will...

What coq10 has anyone taken for fertility? Some are so expensive and other seem too cheap so maybe aren't good enough. I know you should take the ubiquinol but brand wise I have no clue how to know which ones better.

Has anyone had successful IVF with AMH <1 pmol? So frustrated not to know the actual result but just been told less than 1?!

I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow after 6 months of ttc our second. I’ve decided to get help mainly because I’ve only ovulated twice in 6 months and I’ve heard with your second, any time over 6 months is classed as secondary infertility. Does anyone have any advice about talking to an nhs gp about this? ...

Hi. We have our nurse appointment on 30/10 to pick up our medication, and start the process next month. I love to do exercise, I normally do 3 times strength classes, 2 spinning classes, and one barre. I understood I need to be careful especially for when the ovarian are big, but can I still continue to do something...
