Hi all, Just looking for some hope after feeling really sad our third round of IVF failed (got AF today) and none in the freezer. I went to a friend's house tonight and one of the girls said she wouldn't have any more kids as she's 'too old'. She's younger than me 😔 I'm 39 (40 in a few months and husband is 45. I…

So today I had my day 12 scan and I had 5 follicles between 18-13mm and 3 less than 10 mm. The doc wants me to do one more day of stim then go in for retrieval. I really don’t know how I feel about it. Based on my past experience, I need to have at least 14 follicles in order to have a successful cycle. Being that...

Hi ladies, I have low ovarian reserve at 36 and have been doing gonal-f shots for 2 weeks now. My scan this morning showed two follicles of the correct size >18mm but my estrogen blood test has come back at 390pg nmol (normal levels 500-1000), indicating that my follicles may not be developing correctly. I was told ...

Has anyone gotten a copper iud? I’m considering getting one but not sure if it’s worth the side effects I’ve been reading about. Would love some advice/testimonials :)

Hi, I am having my second IVF round with NHS and it’s very different to the first round I did privately. The first round yielded 20 eggs (none left now sadly) but the protocol seemed fine. This time it’s one drug only (Meriofert), once a day and it’s SO HARD to administer (mixing with different vials and needles). A...

Has anyone had a planned csection so they can have their tubes tied or be sterilised? I'm not sure if that's the same thing or different, but I'm expecting my 3rd and would very much like them to be my last and was wondering how people found it asking for that and recovering from it x

I feel completely broken emotionally. I'm recovering from laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. My consultant found endometriosis and removed it but he says it wasn't the likely cause of infertility and also confirmed I have low AMH. He recommends IVF as the next step and has indicated that due to low AMH time is of the es...

Hello, I am confused about this, my doctor said that ICSI is fine to do but I have read that you can damage the egg or the embryo can have some issues. If anyone has any experience or knowledge regarding ICSI to share, I’d be so grateful. 🙏🏻 Thanks in advance!

I've gained so much weight on this ivf journey my stomach looks like I'm already 3 months pregnant. I'm praying that all goes well this time around because I don't think I'll be able to do another one considering my insurance only covers for one cycle . At work I have to hide to take little naps cause I'm so tired I...
