I am due for FET in late December or early January provided we get a good embryo after testing. I have a history of recurrent loss, 3 losses that occurred before or at 7 weeks. I had all testing done for me and my husband over the course of the past year. All tests came back normal besides my TSH being slightly high...

Hello! We started our very first IVF cycle last night. I’m on 450IU of Meriofert. My partner did the injection last night but he’s working tonight so I had to do it myself. I nearly passed out when I’d finished! Is this normal? Have I done something wrong? I also couldn’t get all the liquid in the vial inside the s...

Looking for women who went through this procedure !

I'm really anxious, I just want to prepare myself as I know my lo is going to have 4 injections. what do I need to look out for and any helpful advice would be greatful

If you have an IUD do you still have to use the pull-out method as well to completely prevent pregnancy? I’m currently on the pill and use the pull out method as an added layer of protection is the IUD the same? Or am I just being extra?

We are self funding and obviously we’d love it to work first time but I’m trying to prepare myself in case it doesn’t. If we end up with multiple fertilised eggs that get frozen and used for the second cycle what is that called. I’ve looked at the price list and feel like this would be it but I’m not entirely sure.

Has anyone used CREATE? ARGC? Any other recommendations please. And rough pricing. Thanks

Anyone have any success with IUI? My insurance company is requiring 6 rounds of it before they will approve IVF. I personally don’t know a single person who has successfully conceived with IUI so I feel like it’s a waste of time.

Hi all, I was wondering if people could give me suggestions for IVF in London? Hoping to book in a consultation in January, so trying to get all my information now to decide which is right for us. Thanks so much X

I’m have PCOS so that’s probably why but I had hoped having a baby would’ve regulated things but I guess not. 🤷‍♀️ I’m assuming I won’t be able to get pregnant again until i have a period right?

I’ll try anything at this point 🤣 Wild & random as it is, gimme your best tips

How do I get an app to get a copper IuD inserted. I can’t find any app on sexual health clinics at all. Does GP offer that too?

Out of curiosity what was your AMH level? how old are you? And have you had any success with IUI?

Hello - has anyone opted for this add on and could share their experience of it/decision making? Read the 2020 Cochrane review and HFEA website on it but interested in others’ experiences as it hasn’t been mentioned to us before x

Hi everyone! My partner and I have completed all our fertility testing including a tube assessment and seems like we have u explained infertility. Our Dr previously spoke about doing two rounds of medicated IUI (we’d be funding this) before moving to IVF. Anyone else had a similar experience or let me know what to ...

Hello Ladies, I have just been told my cervix is 26mm. The doctors want to wait annd see but I am getting very nervous. Anyone with similar measurements and what was the treatment prescribed?

I heard trump is gonna make your insurance or the government pay for ivf treatments? This is huge news especially for my friend whos payed sooo much for her treatments 🥲

I’ve just started my period, and contacted the clinic to get my appointment I was expecting to go in today or tomorrow but they’ve said I need to go in on Monday. I’m guessing it’s because it’s a weekend but will this impact my treatment?

Alrighty, the time has come. Second round of IVF starting all over in February 2025. I’m nervous & scared at the same time. We ended up with 3 embryos. 1 was a fresh transfer (failed) & second time we transferred 2 embryos which ended up with a chemical pregnancy. What worked? What failed? What should I avoid d...

Hi everyone! I went to a fertility clinic a few weeks ago with the intention of freezing my eggs (found out my employer covered it so thought why not?!) My partner and I are getting married in July and would love to have a baby as soon as we can after the wedding. We want 2-3 kids, so freezing made sense regardless,...
