I’m doing my first round of IVF but already feel anxious about future plans. I want 2 kids but don’t want to have them immediately back to back as I’ll need time. I have this round covered by heath care but i want to have as many eggs or embryos in the freezer now rather than go through this process again in 2-3 yea...

I had LLETZ done yesterday to remove abnormal cells from my cervix…I’m just wondering if anybody else has had this done and what their pregnancy was like, as my doctor told me that it can cause preterm labour if I was to have another one in the future (not planning anytime soon!) Also what were your side effects after?

Hoping to hear from people who have transferred two embryos. Did it help you fall pregnant? What Grade were your embryos? How many transfers had you had first? How common is it for both to fail? This will be my 7th and final cycle Thank you x

So I have the injections for 6 weeks, I've done them every day and this morning I was so rushed I totally forgot to do it, I'm 6 weeks on Tuesday so not long left to do them, will I be OK I am a worrier 🤣

Hi all! I have had my fertility referral sent to the Exeter clinic by my GP and been told I will hear from them “in due course”. Has anyone been through this process and know how long I should expect to wait and what the next steps will be? Thanks!

Alright yall. Those of you that have/had IUD’s how bad was getting it inserted? According to my L&D nurses I have a super strong pain tolerance, it’s just my anxiety that trips me up. I got the foley balloon and I didnt think that hurt at all so I’m wondering if I’d do okay with the IUD but idk if thats comparable. ...

So this cycle will be our 1st medicated IUI cycle. I started my cycle yesterday after taking Provera. And will be starting Letrozole tomorrow. Are there any ladies in the same boat or similar?

I just had baby number 2 six weeks ago. Went to my six week check up today and spoke to my doctor about birth control options.

It took us 4 years to have our son. With3 failed IVF and multiple failed rounds of provera/clomid. I’m 5 month postpartum and I got these today. Am I crazy or are they positive?

Hiya mums, for context I had a ruptured ectopic back in 2022, it was a horrible experience but I have since had a wonderful rainbow baby and am very blessed to have him. Id like to have another baby one day but not for a couple of years (if I can of course). My GP advised that I shouldn't have the coil as a contrac...

I had a strong positive at at 13dp5dt (IVF frozen embryos transfer) but this would have been my second pregnancy, I had no symptoms whereas with my son, the symptoms started at 6 weeks.

Can anyone give me a rough guide cost on how much private fertility clinics cost for different types of treatments please? I know it can vary which is why I’m asking for a rough cost of the different types. Thanks in advance.
