Has this happened to anyone ?

If you had a medicated FET and they gave you a tentative date for transfer, did it end up being that day for you or did it change at all? I’m curious if it’s pretty much set in stone or if it could be later depending on ovulation.

Looking for advice on people’s experience with having the coil? The good, the bad and the in between please. I am currently on the depo injection but I can’t cope anymore with how it makes me feel

So I am planning on changing contraception, I missed my appointment because I was poorly with the sickness bug and forgot to cancel it, so they have rearranged my for the 23rd of December, however my depo injection runs out today. I am wondering how long after it runs out is it still actually in your system? We aren...

Hi there I’m currently on the highest dose of menopur alongside fyremadel. I just had my second scan and my follicles have hardly grown. 😞 has anyone got any success stories or been through similar and what happened? We’re now staying on meds until Monday which was meant to be egg collection

I’m not ready to give up completely, but I don’t want this to my life anymore. I recently had my 3rd FET fail. I’ve been on the IVF train for 2.5 years. In the past 12 months I’ve had 3 egg retrievals, 3 failed embryo transfers, 3 hospitalisations for IVF complications including severe OHSS, a pierced bladder and a...

Hi everyone, We’ve just had our first cycle of ivf with create in Manchester. We retrieved 15 eggs, 12 were mature, 11 were fertilised. On Day 3, we had 7 top quality embryos (8-10 cells), 2 average and 2 below average. Obviously we were over the moon and so positive. On Day 5 they rang to say none had reached blas...

Wanted to share our story as we can't shout it from the roof tops yet! We'd been trying for over 2 years and IVF was recommended to us as the last resort. We had hoops to jump through to get Military funding- not the easiest thing to get, but we got it. So then it was time for us to wait for my next cycle to start s...

I am about to start my first cycle of IVF in the next month or so and am really struggling with whether I tell my employer or not. My manager (who is very senior in the business) is good manager and I am sure it would be received well. My hesitation comes from not wanting everyone to know my business, to put it c...

Hi everyone Just posting as I feel so alone. Really struggling today. Low AMH but been trying conceive naturally before starting IVF (if they allow us to proceed). I’ve woken up with really bad period pains and just feel very emotional and on the verge of tears. It hasn’t helped that a friend has got pregnant withi...

Hey all! My embryologist told me the other day that if you are age 38 and under your embryos are all likely to be normal, but age over 38 they are likely to be abnormal, and thats worried me! Please could you let me know any positive stories to ease my mind? Caz xx

My beautiful neonate died this August. My only child. Tried artificial insemination every cycle since but no luck. Did IUI 9 days ago and no positive sign yet. I'm feeling desperate. Absolutely desperate.

How far along are you? When did you get any symptoms and what were they?

I have a FET scheduled for next week. I’m currently on 3x utrogestan pessaries but have also been told the clinic will do my bloods to check progestrond levels and prescribe Lubion if needed. I’m petrified of how painful these injections will be and the side effects. I had a FET earlier in the year which resulted...

Hi 🌸 I’m starting my injections today, for a possible egg retrieval in about 10/12 days. Is anyone starting at around the same time? Baby dust to everyone ✨

Hi ❤️ I really need your advice and to hear your story🙏🏽x I'm turning 36 in February and have mild Endometriosis. I had my 1st egg retrieval which resulted in 9 eggs, 6 fertilised and 3 were frozen and one was ready for a fresh transfer funded through the NHS. The fresh transfer failed and I'm currently losing…

I'm in a negative headspace with where I am in my IVF journey and I'm looking for success stories from those who have stage 4 endo/specifically an endometrioma on their ovary/ovaries and have had a successful pregnancies. Please give me hope 🙏

I had my egg retrieval yesterday and they only managed to retrieve 6 eggs which I was disappointed at (33yrs old). They called to advise that 3 matured and 2 fertilised which they have injected as we're going through ICSI. I feel really disheartened by it and I know it only takes one but I'm hoping it's enough…

So we’re starting IUI in the new year after 2 losses over 1.5 years. Can you please share how IUI went for you? The process, timing, meds required, etc. Just looking to see the process of it and to hear people’s personal experiences who have had success with it. Thank you!
