Does anyone have any recommendations of IVF clinics to use in Europe please? I’m based in the UK and need donor eggs which I’m assuming is cheap abroad?

Has anyone used them ? Do they have any side effects ?

Looking for advice: if you could go back to the beginning of your fertility journey, what tests / doctors would you visit first, to save yourself time of trying.

There are so many protocols from natural, supplemented natural, medicated etc. Previously I was on supplemented natural where I timed my ovulation using a trigger shot. This time, my...

For IVF, I think the criteria is to have a BMI under 35, mine is under this but my fiancée’s isn’t, does this matter given I would be the one carrying the baby?

Used this for 3 cycles now and still has a window of 11 days ….

Absolutely devastated, round 1 of IVF a complete failure. I was doing a shared cycle as I have good AMH and they thought I’d get a good number of eggs. They collected 8 eggs on Monday, so 4 for me, 4 for the recipient. Out of my 4, 2 fertilised and by day 3 we had a 3 cell and a 5 cell (6 is the target). Just ha...

Hi I’m 39, I have a 4 year old baby girl. We’ve been trying for two years with no success. I had my first fertility appointment yesterday and I’m terrified about being in uncharted waters.

I am in my thirds retrieval waiting for results on how many made it to blastocyst. And have 1 6AA embryo on ice.
