Has anyone tried Peak Performance Fertility Drops? I started a week ago on it but I’m not sure if it actually works. I miscarried in May and have been trying to conceive.

Just venting. But does it annoy anyone else when people keep telling you to stay positive? It gets so frustrating when every time you get bad news or bad outcome it’s like you’re expected to be positive on top of that. It just gets to the point I’d rather not tell anyone about IVF and just keep it to myself

Just curious, how long were you ttc before going to see a fertility specialist for the first time? When did you first start going and how did you know you needed to see a fertility doctor?

We've been trying to fall pregnant for what feels like forever. After a ridiculously long waiting list for a semen analysis we finally got the devastating news that my husband's sperm count is 'critically low' we did another 2 tests privately and unfortunately these both came back with similarly devastating results....

The reason for us having to have IVF is due to my partner having a low sperm count. Thankfully everything is looking good on my end! 🙏🏼 Has anyone here been through IVF with their partner having a low count? How did it go?

Does anyone else find doing IVF lonely ? And a little isolating ?

I’m supposed to start my injection for egg retrieval as I’m going through ivf and my insurance covers for 3 cycle and my clinic applied and my insurance denied it and my Doctor booked next month for a peer to peer. My insurance wants me to go through IUI first and my problem is miscarriages as I’ve gone through misc...

Hey mamas! I have my 6 weeks appointment on Friday and would like to get the IUD. I’ve been reading about the differences and I’m leaning toward the copper one because it’s non-hormonal. If you have an IDU - what kind? Any complications? Can you still breastfeed? Thanks!

Hi Ladies! I’m new to this group. I’m currently TTC baby number 2 with PCOS. My doctor thinks medicated IUI is the place to start. Would any of you mind sharing your experiences? I’m a bit nervous about it all.

Hey! I’ve recently had my IVF referral and everything is moving quickly. I already know I’ll be doing an egg retrieval in a separate cycle to a transfer due to OHSS risk, and have an appointment in a week to discuss when we will start. My next cycle will likely start around 12th December, maybe slightly later, are ...

Hi all! I’m starting my first IVF cycle this week but we have a trip planned as we had already moved it so wouldn’t interfere with the cycle and then of course my period didn’t start when I originally thought it would. Has anyone traveled while doing injections? Any tips or advice?

Has anyone been told they are high risk due to their age (39) and conceiving via IVF? I have been told this today and can’t find any evidence to support it.

I am looking to do IVF privately (I’ve one child conceived via IVF on NHS) and wondered if anyone had used New Life in Epsom? Appreciate this is just outside London but I am keen not to commute too far if I can help it. Thank you.

Had our second embryo transfer after the first one failed. I started testing from 5dpt and had a faint positive that progressed to a very strong positive by 9dpt. Went back to clinic to do bloods days later as my pregnancy symptoms disappeared and found that unfortunately I had a chemical pregnancy. Feeling really...

TL;DR: I have a phonecall with the Medical Director of my new IVF clinic today. Looking for advice on treatments have you had for thin lining, particulalry those used during a fresh cycle. My new clinic refusing to prescribe Viagra/Sildenafil even though I have had during previous rounds. Hi, I'm in the process of ...
