Hi, so I've been diagnosed with a brain tumor last year. I've successfully evicted it but now my team want to put me on this drug to slow any regrowth. Problem is, I can't be pregnant on it. My team said its OK to delay it for a year meaning I need to hustle if I want to have another baby(already have a 2yo conceive...

My cycles are very irregular - currently on day 37 waiting for it so I can start my frozen embryo transfer meds. I’ve been given some tablets to get it to start, but it’s entirely down to me if I want to / when I start them etc. (my clinic doesn’t use BC and times things just with your natural cycles) If I take the...

Hi ladies, any IVF mamas on here? I’m due to stop my meds (a whole suite of them, including progesterone) on the weekend (at 10wks) and am a little apprehensive as I know some patients are told to continue them til 12 or 14 weeks. Has anyone else done this? Any knowledge about what effect a drop in progesterone woul...

Hiya, I’m currently taking meds for an upcoming EndomeTRIO (ERA, ALICE and EMMA). Has anyone had this procedure before and can they give any advice? I’ve had two failed transfers (implantation failure) of top quality embryos (untested) so we’re looking to see if there’s anything going on which has caused the failu...

Hi, any IVF mamas here doing progesterone/estrogen in the first trimester?

Day 2 of stims in my 2nd ivf cycle. Is anyone at a similar stage wanting to keep in touch?

I’ve been thinking lately and I don’t know if god will forgive me for this, but, my husband and I did IVF were we created 4 embryos. We transferred two that failed, one that worked, and one we plan to transfer this month. Now he was born without the vas deferens, which is the tube that cum would go through to create...

How long was the whole IVF process for you from start to finish? My fertility doctor told me around 3 months once we get started next cycle with priming my body but the total amount of time can vary on certain factors so I’m just looking for personal experiences.

Any tips or tricks to make the whole process of IVF any easier? We start priming my body next cycle…. So it’s finally happening! After two losses over two years, I’m excited (but SO nervous) to start this next phase. One step closer to our double rainbow baby!! 🌈🌈

I’ve recently found out that I have fibroids in the womb. They’re very small and doctor said that they don’t need to be removed. Did anyone managed to get pregnant with this type of fibroids? My periods are irregular and I don’t even know if I ovulate or not. I’m trying to conceive but in three months I was unsucces...

Hi everyone, as I post this I'm feeling at a pretty low point 💔 I am on my second round of IVF medication on a higher dose, after my first round had to be cancelled due to my ovaries not responding sufficiently. Ever since that knock, my mental health has been challenged. I started off feeling anxious and…

Tried clomid 1 month.. but based of blood work and symtoms doctor highly suspects of PCOS. To confirm i need to get an xray done that cost $2000. But we don't have the money for that. Other thing doctor recommended is iud.. but that is even more expensive about 8k to 10k per treatment. I know its a silly question bu...

So today after 7 years I’ve finally had confirmation of my ivf referral. They are asking me to choose a clinic any ideas of how to make that decision? How do I know which one is for me?

Not long got back from my embryo transfer which happened to fall exactly a year from my salpingectomy where I lost my first baby and left tube to an ectopic pregnancy. I take that as a good omen 👼🏻🤞🏻 These two just about started forming blasts and due to their lowish quality, it was decided they would both go back…

Hi everyone, I am paying for IVF through Access Fertility - a 2 cycle package - and have had one egg collection, and didn’t end up with very good embryos. This was our 4th collection, and I’m not sure I want to do another egg collection, and so am considering withdrawing from Access Fertility before I’ve finished wh...

I want to get pregnant in August/September 2026 so that my baby will be due around summer 2027. I had my last Depo shot on 21st February. So that means I’ll be safe from pregnancy until 16th May. It says on the NHS website that it takes about a year to get fertility back. Should I take one more shot because that wou...

Some back story you need to know. I was 34 (3 years ago) when I first looked into my fertility with blood tests because I had finally settled down with someone I knew I would be with forever and we wanted kids so I figured I should check my situation out. The results were surprising. My OB basically called and said ...

Is there anything that can be done naturally to boost follicle growth? Currently doing my first cycle of IVF taking Menopur and Rekovelle but follicles aren’t growing as expected. I’m at risk of getting the cycle cancelled altogether.

Hi guys! Me and my husband are now thinking about private ivf treatment. Do you know or have you actually gone through private ifv clinics and could recommend them for me? I know it takes ages through nhs but our appointment gor cancelled 2nd time! We can't deal with that no more. I would really appreciate your he...

Hi all, I posted last week about the total failed fertilisation we experienced during our most recent cycle in February. We have our review meeting with our consultant today to discuss next steps and trying to work out what questions I should be asking at this stage. One thing I have been thinking about since last...
