For first round IVF, when would anyone recommend taking some time off? I have saved up quite a bit of annual leave and work also allow 2 weeks worth of hours off for fertility but wondering when I’m likely to need it most?

FRERs are so expensive so I dropped cash on pregnosis but then have read reviews from 2018 where people have gotten false positives. Today's 12 dpo and this is the last cycle before IVF send whatever higher powers luck and strength

I'm 40+1 now, went to monitor the baby today, everything came back good, movment is fine and heart rate is good. But, the doctor explained to me that for IVF pregnancy's, they really not recommend to go beyond the due date, as there are evidence that for IVF pregnancy's, the placenta function starts to drop, and the...

5Dpiui and no pregnancy symptoms. I think this time it didn't work. I don't know whether to keep trying IUI or wait to do IVF

I have an appointment to get a copper iud inserted. Has anyone gotten this? I have a pretty high pain tolerance but I keep seeing videos of women saying it’s super painful. Now I’m kind of nervous 😳

Has anyone gotten an IUD? I want to get one because I feel as if my nexplanon is making me gain weight but I’m so scared that the insertion will hurt soooo bad. So if anyone has gotten one did it hurt for you?

Hi everyone, My partner and I have seen a private consultant as we have been trying for over 2 years now and I am 41.

Also if you've used hull and...
