Hi ladies, I had my son through IVF last year and now currently wanting to try for my second. Has anyone conceived naturally for their second child after doing IVF for their first?? If so, did it take long?

Today's finally here. Day 1 my period came early this morning! Called our clinic and now we have to drive 8 hours to our clinic tomorrow to be there for Monday so that we don't miss out on our day 3 scan. I'm extremely nervous this time around. Our last IUI was 2022 with our baby boy, but this is our last vial of ...

Does anyone have advice on how much water to drink before transfer? My clinic said 1 litre 45 minutes before but this seems like a lot. Will half a litre be enough?

I had collection done which all seemed like great results! 10 mature eggs collected, 9 fertilised and, had 1 transferred fresh, and 3 were suitable for and freezing. 2 have even started to hatch now they said just as they were frozen. I had the collection on day 14 of my cycle with 20 follicles, I was really uncomf...

I had my egg collection today 🙌 Is anyone at the same point that would like to message? I had a previous cycle of IVF in April and we failed fertilisation completely.

Are we mad?😂 we started trying for a baby when I was 27 and we had to have ivf to conceive our baby (I’m now 35). We don’t want to wait any longer to have another for a couple of reasons. One our next embryo transfer may not work and could take time for it to work again and secondly I’m not getting any younger. I…

I've been TTC for a year and a half now and have had no luck so far. Any stage 4 endo natural success stories? I've just been through my 1st cycle of IVF as well, and this failed. The embryos were low quality. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any stage 4 IVF success stories?

Sadly, I've just found out that my 1st IVF cycle has failed! I chose to not have endo surgery before my 1st cycle however, all my embryos were very low quality & wondering whether endo had an affect on quality. 15 eggs were collected, 7 fertilised and only 1 was strong enough for transfer on day 5. I am now not su...

12 days post IUI, anyone the same ?

How long after having the surgery did you wait to have sex? I know they say 2 weeks but I’m scared I’m going to miss my ovulation window as I’ve already been bleeding for a week before. Thanks

I’m after a bit of advice/opinion… a few years ago we underwent two rounds of ICSI (failed fresh transfer followed by successful FET). This year we decided to try for our second with our one of two remaining embryos 5ABC. Unfortunately the FET was unsuccessful and we now have one 5BBC embryo remaining. We are debati...

Anyone have any recommendations for an injector? I’m thinking about filler but there’s a sea of injectors and need some guidance. If you can share the website or social media with me that would be great! TIA!

What do you all think about insemination kits? Have you used one? If so, which one and was it successful? Obviously not the ideal way we would like to make baby #2 but we are finding it more & more difficult to baby dance in the specific fertile window. Somehow our daughter knows or something and becomes so much mo...
