PGT-A lawsuit - should I still test?

Is anyone changing their mind about doing pgt testing on embryos due to the recent class action law suit against testing companies? We were planning to do it but now I’m not so sure - over 40 and this will be our first ivf round (never been pregnant so we thought testing would be worthwhile). Thoughts?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been through IVF to have a second child following successful IVF for first child? We are so fortunate it worked the first time (third transfer) but have no frozen embryos left, how did people find it the second time if you’ve gone down this route? The process, pregnancy and every...

IVF timescale

Hi guys, I know this is probably a hard one to give a blanket answer to but typically how long does IVF take when you go private? Starting from the consultation? Also, if anyone has any input on how long funding takes (roughly) from the point in which your partner is diagnosed with MFI I’d be so grateful. ❤️

Breeding

Does anyone have any experience with breeding? We have a soon to be 4 year old American Akita and my partner wants to start breeding him. I don’t know much about it but he said he’s struggling to find a breeder. Our dog is also starting to ‘leak’ if you know what I mean 😬 any suggestions on what we can do?

Trying for number 2 when first was IVF

Is anyone in the same boat of starting trying for number 2 (naturally) for a while when your first was an IVF baby? I’m finding it harder than I expected this month and don’t feel like I can really talk to anyone about it other than my husband. Would be good to connect with someone in a similar situation.

IVF and cyclogest

Anyone done IvF and on cyclogest pessaries? I’ve been told to stop them at end of week 8 (in a couple of days) but everywhere I read says longer. I asked my doctor to confirm and she just keeps saying end of week 8 but it feels too soon. Anyone else had this? X
