Community Posts, Tips & Support on Fertility Treatments

Considering buying these tablets to have a final push at trying naturally before IVF (we have male factor and low AMH). I’m really dubious though as I don’t get how it can help both men and women when their bodies etc are so different… anyone have any experience with it or an alternative they would recommend?

So I had my last depo jab in Jan last year and obviously it takes up to a year for fertility to return and I’m just wondering where I go from here because I’m tracking my periods and they’re regular but I’m still not pregnant, it’s really getting me down now

Me and my husband just started the cycle for iui number two. I finished taking 5 days worth of leterzole two days ago. We both feel very confident and have a good feeling about this cycle. We can't tell if it's because we know what to expect with a iui or if our gut feeling is that it'll work. Anyone else have this?

Just something to say here to you/ hope it happens for you/ even just draw a big love heart and sign with a kiss. Anyone have any advice on what to write?

I wondered if anyone in this group who got pregnant via IVF might be able to give me some advice. I'm currently expecting but my best friend is about to start IVF. We've both been super open about TTC and she has been incredibly supportive through my pregnancy so far. I try to be careful of how much I discuss with h...

My scan this Monday showed the egg was 10 mm. It's supposed to grow by 1.5 - 2 mm per day. But this Thursday it was only 11 mm. Would you get IUI if it was 18mm by this Monday, despite weird slow growth?

Hello, I just completed my IVF ICSI cycle. Out of 11 eggs collected, 9 were mature and 7 fertilized, resulting in 3 quality B embryos that reached the blastocyst stage. A biopsy sample has been taken today for PGT-A, and all three embryos have been frozen. Now, I need to decide whether to analyze these embryos now...

Hi all I’ve just had a failed transfer of my only embryo. I am really struggling today and feel hopeless for the future and don’t see IVF working for us after being given 10% chance of success with my age and low AMH. Just wondering if anyone has any tips with how to keep going and not feel miserable all the time...

Hey ladies I had IUI procedure almost a week ago, should I have signs of pregnancy yet? Has anyone gone through this journey that could give me some hope, I’m 40 years old so I know the chances are low but I just have a good feeling this could be what we needed all along, I have a 15 year old so I know I can get pre...

I had my baby the end of January 24, I’ve not lost any weight since having him apart from a blip when I was poorly. I’ve always said I wouldn’t consider the monjaro injections but I have always struggled with my weight. What are people’s thoughts on them, if you have been on them have you had many side effects??

Hello I am Katie I been trying to get pregnant since August and they just started this med called ferma has anyone tryed it?

Does anybody have any tips to help make the whole process of IVF any easier? Both mentally and physically speaking. We start birth control next cycle so it’s finally starting. I’m just kind of freaking out about the whole thing, hoping that it works for us and that I respond well to the meds and retrieval. Praying...

Has anyone had their doctor use an ultra sound for an iud insertion? My doctor is saying it’s necessary but I’ve never heard of that. This is my first c-section though so I don’t know..

36 weeks and baby is still extended/frank breech! Got ECV booked next Wednesday but just wondered if anyone has done moxibustion and if it worked? Did you get the sticks to do yourself or get it done by a professional? The reviews on Amazon for the sticks seem to break in delivery making it hard to use yourself so t...

Hello, we have just gone through our first round of IVF. I responded really well to the stims, had 32 follicles which they expected to get around 22 eggs. During egg collection, we only got 13 with only 1 egg fertilising. They had put me on medication for a frozen transfer due to the amount of eggs they were expecti...

Are there any questions I should ask during my next consultation or things I should ask/push for regarding tests or investigations. I’ve had two failed fresh transfers the first was with a 5cc embryo and the last one 4AB. I only have one Frozen and so a lot is riding on this next transfer to go well before thinking...

So I had a consultants appointment a couple of weeks ago and there was high leukocytes in my wee so they sent it off for testing, it came back not growing so they said nothing to worry about. Just had my 16 week midwife appointment and the same again, high leukocytes, so she’s sent it off again but she said if it co...

This is a long one sorry. So I've been diagnosed with brain tumor and my Drs want to put me on this drug which is supposed to slow down any growth . Its technically not chemo/radio but I can't be pregnant while I'm on it. I want to have a second child (already have 1) and my Dr said he can give me a year to get preg...

Hello, We are considering ivf abroad but it’s such a minefield and I don’t know where to go or who. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We’d need to have icis ivf due to male fertility problems.
