Hi, I have my first iui soon. Super nervous but also excited. Today i had a follicle scan. I had just 10 small follicles (under 10mm) on the left side but 3 follicles, 15, 13,12 on the right side plus 7 small ones. I will probably take my trigger in 2 days. Will all of the 3 follicles burst at the same time and will...

So I literally don’t know whether I want another child. We have been not using contraception for ages and it’s not happened so I’m wondering whether to just give up now. I’m pretty much on the fence about wanting another I can take it or leave it essentially. So I’m wanting to know your opinions, pros and cons of...

So my man wants me to get fixed so he doesn't have to but it's my body not he's. I've talked to my sister about the Mirana IUD but was wondering about the copper one anyone with good or bad experiences with it? FYI-I also want to breastfeed if that makes a difference! Due in October so I have a while to make a d...

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...

I just got my paragard IUD, anyone have any reviews on how it was for them? I just want to be prepared

NIPT done through natera. Insuffient fetal DNA came back twice. So frustrated and upset. Any insight?

16 year old told me she had sex with her boyfriend the second time they met in person.. I had no clue as they met in a public place.. I got her the morning after pill as they weren’t safe. All sets of parents know .. I got her into a clinic but she isn’t scheduled for the iud until August 19.. in the meantime they...

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 ever gotten an embryo after only retrieving 2 or 3 eggs?

My husband and I had been trying for 3 years with two failed IVF cycles, never once getting a positive pregnancy test. A week before our wedding day, we got our first positive pregnancy test! Eeekkkkk!!!! Can not believe this is actually happening! Would love to chat and connect to you all, would love to hear your s...

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 just want to know will my body ever go b...
