What help do you get if you’re referred to the fertility clinic and all the tests come back normal. I know there’s the routes of IVF but would that be the only option. I’ve had some tests and so far it’s all normal for us both so I’m getting nervous they’ll say that our only option is to pay for IVF.
I can’t believe I’m still trying to conceive at 18 months, it’s just so wild and unfair. I keep seeing people that “didn’t even try” have babies. My brother just had a baby/first grandbaby.. they announced they were pregnant about 11 months into our TTC journey…they got pregnant right away. He is adorable and of c...
Hi ladies, really want some advice here because I’m really worried about the IVF process. My husband and I have been TTC for close to six years with no luck. For some background We’ve gone through about 6 cycles of IUI treatment. All the IUI cycles were medicated with the use of letrozole only (2-4 pills), letrozo...
When did you guys start the process?
Hi! I had my AMH done a few times last year and told it was low for my age (around 10 and I am 29). I went thru IVF in Jan and it failed (got 20 eggs, 2 embryos, 1 didn’t survive the thaw, 1 failed to implant). I had my AMH done just now and it was 17. It sounds like good news but I’m very confused - i didn’t think ...
Hi ladies looking for some reassurance please. I’m currently 9+5 from a medicated FET and due to come off estrogen at 10 weeks. My clinic wants me to stop completely and not wean off them. Has anyone come off at 10 weeks? Also those on prednisolone, I’m told to start weaning off them from 10 weeks too. I fear that...
Hi all, I am in the early stages of my first round of ivf (gonal f injections at the moment) I'm wondering if there's anyone here in the same boat. Or if there's anyone here that can explain the process from here? Because I've asked nurses and Dr's to explain what happens but I keep being told to wait and they'll te...
I am currently trying to hold back tears at an airport because I got the results from my second cycle. Out of 13 where 12 fertilized, we got 1 with a 6AA grade. My previous cycle was a miss where we needed up with 2 abnormal blastocysts. I honestly don’t know how all of you keep on going, this is such a defeating f...
I go tomorrow for my 6 week PP appointment. I am supposed to be getting an IUD but I’m super nervous about it. After watching videos and doing some research I’m kind of thinking I would like to go back to the depo. Can anyone give me your experiences with the mirena iud? Pros and cons?
So i have my first appt with the gynaecologist on thursday due to possible peri menopause causing irregular ovulation. Just wanted to know what to expect and hear others first experiences with the fertility clinic. Im not sure what to expect, im hopeful they will just hand me pills and ill be on my way haha!!
So I saw my consultant today who is booking my delivery for august when I’m 38weeks, they asked me to think about being sterilised at the same time, it completely took me by surprise tbh, I’d never thought about it before, this will be my third Csection so they don’t advise to have another pregnancy/section after th...
As the title says, I don’t qualify for ivf due to my bmi being 46. I need to loose 40-50kg to be able to be in the category for IVF and was told to come back when I loose weight. I have received no support from the doctors, if I could loose that amount of weight, I wouldn’t be overweight right now. Has anyone else...
Hello everyone, Was just wondering if anyone else is crazy enough to be studying whilst going through this rollercoaster of a journey. I am in my fourth year of open university and I’m struggling to find the time and motivation to complete my workload. It’s making me worried about how I’m going to manage when I ha...
Started second round of ivf. ( day 3 of stims) ( no down regulation cycle this time) also they have not changed meds or protocols.. as on highest dose. AMH is normal . First round got only 2 eggs which resulted in 1 good quality blastocyst which unfortunately didn’t implant. Anyone respond poorly to stimulation fi...
About to start at the IVF process and wondering if there are any type one diabetics that are in the process or have done the process that would like to share their experience or give any advice?
Im 22 years old and I have a 4 year old . I want another child . It’s obvious I have PCOS I still neeed to get a diagnosis from a medical professional. I’ve heard that PCOS can affect fertility and I am concern and sad because I want a second child and afraid I can go have fertility issues because of my obvious sig...
My GP today asked if we would like to be referred to a fertility specialist to proceed to the next step getting pregnant (we believe the main issue is sperm low motility). I heard that you can get NHS referrals that go to private clinics, but I don’t understand the process. Does anyone know how to do this? Should I ...
Any thought/concerns/experiences from the COPPER IUD specifically. My 6 week appt is later today and my doctor wants me to get this one and I’m still on the fence.
I'm in two minds about telling my manager - would love to hear pros/cons based on your experiences?
Anyone taken the clomid pill? What’s the side effects and did it work for you? Trying to convince baby number 2 after IVF. Thank you
