I have an appointment with maternity consultant Tuesday afternoon but unsure what to expect. Knew this was going to happen as pregnancy IVF & due to medical history. Do already have a few questions noted. Thank you

Hi ladies, what type of probiotic are you taking to prepare/accompany your IVF cycle? Thanks!

Any success stories using? I’ve been using it for a few months and besides a chemical pregnancy, no success 😔 unsure whether to continue with it or not.

Can your doctors prescribe you xonvea (uk) or is there another name for this that it goes by? I’ve seen so many people call it a miracle drugs that I asked if I could try it but got told that it can only be dispensed in a hospital setting? Basically got told that I would have to get bad again to end up in hospital f...

My local ICB says that we qualify for IVF funding if we have a diagnosed issue (in our case male factor) and have been trying for over a year. However, my GP says we have to wait 2 years, even though my partner has done 2 tests that we both very low. Am I losing my mind or reading this wrong? Also, if we pay for pr...

I’m due to have my eggs out this coming week. I’m a mardy anyway, but can anyone reassure me- I’m so petrified! I guess once I’m out I’ll be okay!

Today was transfer day.. it didn’t go as planned. I had 8 embryos growing very well only to be told today that I have 1 great one and the rest aren’t suitable for freezing. I was shocked, surprised and sad… a lot to process before a transfer. But it only takes one .. so here’s to all those about to start, in the mid...

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?

Can anyone reccomend the mirena coil? Is it painful to have inserted and are the side effects bad? Can people please share their experiences with it please?🩷

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?
