Cycle day 1 started today. I go in on Thursday to make sure everything looks okay, then I start my medications for our first frozen embryo transfer. I get butterflies thinking about it. Anything I should know going into this?? Lots of praying and crossed fingers for everything to work out for us.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue, and can advise me. Our areas NHS funding allows us to have one full IVF cycle and 2 FET. During our first cycle our clinic and consultants set out a plan to have the EC, then a FET, as I posed a high risk of OHSS. We had our EC in August 2023, a FET in Dec...

Anyone’s partner tried these? Am on my last cycle of Clomid done 6 months we are trying everything now

For context, my friend and her husband have been trying for a baby for 3+years. They’ve both had the relevant testing done and no issue was picked up for either of them. They were due to start IFV but the clinic said they weee out of stock of the medicine so my friend had to wait for her next cycle. Her next cycle n...

Myself and my husband have reached the top of the IVF waiting list but unfortunately my smear test has just came back with high risk hpv and changes seen (this is now the 3rd year in a row) but the last twice no treatment was needed.

Hi, I’m 42 and despite a good AMH for my age, I haven’t responded to my meds. This is my first IVF round. I’m on day 8 of Gonal F 300. I have 13 follicles in total but only 3 are mature. I have 3 or 4 between 9mm and 12mm all the others smaller, the clinic don’t think they will catch up. We are still going ahead. I’...

Was there anything in between you did to relax, or get yourself ready mentally/physically? I’ve been looking into some traditional Chinese medicine practices, and will literally try anything at this point 😅

Hello 👋 I’m just wondering if there is any delay in having IVF after you’ve had a Hycosy? I’m booked in for one in July and we also would have been trying for two years since July, so we can be referred for IVF at that point. I’m just wondering if in theory we could still have IVF in August? I realise the outcome…

Hi! Does anyone use this and if it's any good? We used the two plus sperm guide and conceived the first time although it ended in a MC..and since then we reused it and still no luck. I'm not sure if it's because we had reused it as it says it needs to be used only 4x? Any thoughts are welcome!

Has anyone taken geritol and has it helped you conceive?

Has anyone tried the Sudafed trick and succeeded for male infertility? 😭

I just had a canceled IVF. The Stimulation did not work. I only had 5 very small follicles on one ovary and 1 dominant follicle in the other ovary. I have been trying for 5 years now. I am so just feeling so sad. The doctor said to just take the trigger shot and try naturally since we have one mature follicle. I am ...

Has anyone undergone a retrieval cycle both with AND without CoQ 10?? Or Fertilaid supplements?? For male or female...If so, looking to see if lab results or retrieval results were effected when you had incorporated supplements. I'm starting CoQ10 for my 2nd retrieval, and I'm hoping it improves our outcome. Thank...

So I had my fertility appt. today. We are moving forward with IUI. I started the provera today. Is anyone doing the same as me or similar? This will be me and my hubby's first IUI together. But I had an IUI completed which didnt result in a pregnancy with my previous marriage.

Older mums who went through IVF, when did you start trying (naturally or considering IVF) for baby number 2? My LO is 8 months but my age is on my mind and would like to try for a second.

So I’m gearing myself up for IVF all the medication is ready to go I’m waiting to start my period (the one time I wanted my period to come 😂) nothing no bleeding spotting I normally spot a week prior nothing at all when I wiped no pink blood. I took a test and to be honest I’m still in shock POSITIVE 2 lines! I’m…
