3rd and final IVF cycle. 3 embryos

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...

Geritol with TTC

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...

That lasted that whole day and through yesterday - very light, pink/brown spotting with no cramping. Overnight last night (today is 10dpo) my period started. I w...

Success stories from anyone 44 years old

I’ve just had an appointment with a fertility doctor and he has said it is highly unlikely to be able to have a baby with my own eggs. It happens to just a couple of people in a hundred at this age. We’ve been trying for a while and starting to believe him. IVF isn’t an option due to low ovarian reserve. I’m feeli...

How soon is too soon

So, I’ve done two rounds of IVF. The first round we got a low number of eggs and whilst they all fertilised, non made it to transfer. Second round, we got double the number of eggs, half fertilised but only one made it to transfer and has resulted in a chemical. So my question is this, given that I will have to do a...

Unmedicated ivf

Hi everyone, seeing a lot of comments on here about doing unmedicated / natural IVF. How does that work? How many eggs do you retrieve from that, just 1-2? I’m awaiting my AMH results but I had 36 follicles at my last scan a few weeks ago post ovulation, so they’re confident it’s going to be high / normal range. T...

AMH or FSH tests

Hi all. When I started IVF way back in 2020, my clinic only checked my FSH levels at the start. 4 years later, I'm still having IVF and they will not check again, even though I am now in my 40s. Having researched online it appears AMH tests are more accurate, but my clinic doesn't do this test. I'm convinced I'm ap...
