Is anyone else not on blood clot injections after birth? My sister in law said everyone should be on them after birth but I’ve not been offered them and midwife hasn’t mentioned at any point. I’m 6 days post partum. Thanks!

I start my IVF journey tomorrow...first drug on the list is Synarel. Feeling anxious and overwhelmed seeing all these different meds..open to suggestions and advice. Thanks in advance ☺️

Can anyone who has tried Mira please give me some advice on any experiences with this!

I heard IVF has a higher rate for producing boys. What was your ivf babies gender?

Hi! We have another appointment in November to get added to the IVF waitlist (online appointment this time), will this be when we need to sign any forms etc, or will this come at a different time? The dr is going to go over the recommended protocol etc at this app too, as he will have my AMH results. Thanks girli...

I've just had blood test prior to starting ivf and my amh level is 11. Consultant said this was fine. When I questioned what fine meant was it normal or just within range he said they would prefer 15 / 16 but that's being picky and 11 is fine. I'm seeing all sorts of numbers online and wondering what 11 means exa...

Ladies, I'm doing IVF and if my period doesn't come in the next few days, my cycle will get cancelled. My period is already 5 days late (negative pregnancy test). Hormones and the fact that I'm waiting, are making it late. Please drop any trick to help induce your period- sex hasn't worked yet. I've got three days t...

Journey (breastfeeding) with first born is ongoing and we're looking to expand our family. LO is no where near interested in weaning (trying since May). Worried our BF is impact my hormone levels and ability to conceive to grow our family. Does anyone have any experience with ovulation stimulating drugs to assist? ...

Hi! Has anyone been found with a polyp during their stimulation and have it removed before their FET? They spotted this for me and I'm just trying to find out the process how this works (how long does it take to recover and if you have to wait before a FET). I have a saline sonography booked in to check if it's mate...

Tomorrow I'm going to have home insemination (only that one attempt possible this cycle). I'm in my early 40s so every cycle counts. But Tuesday I have an exploratory medical procedure that requires taking medication that could interfere with a growing embryo. There's not much research on the possible side effects. ...

I have just started these capsules alongside our other fertility medication & injections. If you have taken this medication before, what’s been your experience? Did it help you conceive? What side effects did you experience?

I'm 36 (turning 37 in June) and my daughter has just turned 13 months. I've been discussing with my partner about having a second kid and I just keep going all in and out. He's happy to have another but if I don't want to then he's fine with that too. He has said he would love to have another child with me but he un...

My first IUI is tomorrow. I’m feeling super nervous, anxious, excited, and most definitely impatient. I was medicated this cycle using 5mg letrozole and a trigger shot. I had one mature follicle at my last scan on Monday morning. We have been TTC+ years and have MFI. I’m just curious what others have experienced? Wa...

I have my tubes tied and regret it so much. Wondering if I could still have a baby through IVF?

Has anyone had ivf for first child and had success and it was unexplained and then fell naturally for second child

Anyone had a positive/ successful procedure with slow growing embryos. Just got the day 5 report and feedback is that embryos have not reached blastocyst stage and they will continue to be monitored. ******Update**** Just got my report back. Only one out of 12 fertilized made it to day 7. It has been sent for test...

I was told for my age (I'm 36) roughly half of the embryos would be genetically abnormal. We just did got our PGT-A results and out of 3 embryos, only 1 was euploid. We had 8 collected, 6 mature and fertilised, 3 made it to day 5/6 with grading 5AB, 5BB and 6BB. The 5AB was the one that was euploid. Before I had 2 e...

Am I missing something? Vance and other Republicans are wanting to encourage people to have kids but at the same time rejecting the right to IVF. Make it make sense please?

Hi everyone, after our third and final IVF cycle, we ended up with 3 blastocysts, which have now been sent for PGT testing. I'm feeling really nervous because we've never made it this far before. We switched clinics for this cycle, and the new doctor primed my body with vitamins and a nightly 3-unit shot of Omnitrop...

Has anyone successfully gotten pregnant taking geritol? I saw it on tik tok and thought I would give it a try. I started taking it a couple days ago on the first day of my period. It says to take it your whole cycle and the saying is there is a baby at the end of every bottle. Just wondering if it has worked for any...
