Hi, my clinic has prescribed cyclogest and prolutex - iv only ever taken cyclogest but not the prolutex injections - just wondering if anyone can share their experience? Are they anymore painful than the other injections as part of egg retrieval etc - have heard progesterone injections can be or maybe iv just read t...

Is it best to start trying right after your period is finished? Also how often to have sex? Any foods /drink to help conceive? Any thing else I can do?

Hello everyone, I want to get the Copper IUD coil put in as a form of contraceptive. I’ve had it in before, and got it removed to get pregnant. When I called the GP last year they mentioned I need to be at least 6 months postpartum (which I now am). This time when I called, the nurse asked if I was breastfeeding an...

Sorry I feel this is a silly question. We had nhs ivf before Xmas and just been enrolled on a finance programme to start ivf again.. I want to start on my Feb period which is likely to start last day of Feb early March. I've messaged the clinic today asking if anything we need to do and they said no just ring on t...

Has anybody got endometriosis? I’ve got it and struggling to conceive? Anybody tips or tricks would be helpful thank you!

It feels a life time since I’ve put a post out on this app and recently found myself drawn back to it as it greatly helped me on conceiving our first baby who’s currently 18months old via ICSI gratefully on the NHS. Has anyone used Access fertility to help pay for IVf? We’re currently looking at going for baby No...

I have pcos and I wondered what I could help to get pregnant because it’s been 10 months and nothing! I’m ovulating but my lines are never really dark dark!

Does anyone based in the UK know what the process is for an FET? I have a toddler who turns 2 next month and feel like I’ve been away from the process for ages. We had 2 fresh transfers the first time around to have our son so I have no idea what FET is like if anyone has any info they could share? We are hoping to ...

About to go for round 2 of ivf but a FET this time. Can you tell me your best advice and tips for what you think a successful round would be? McDonald’s salty chips are obviously a must!!

Am I seeing this right? Sorry... I had my baby a year ago from IVF after years of infertility. I'm a little in shock and now questioning if I'm reading this right... xx

Hi I’m going through second IVF after a failed IVF 20 months ago and started last week on 350 and I’ve just had my internal scan to check my follicles and they’ve upped the dose to 450 anyone else experienced increase or decrease with their stims?

Just wondering what others would in this situation. Trying to conceive our second child (first was via IVF and is now 3). This is our third cycle. Had our day 10 scan and only have 2 follicles responding. I have a very very low AMH and am 40. Clinic have suggested going to egg collection but have left the decision...

I had my first son through IVF, he’s going to be 2 in March. My husband and I have been TTC our second child since July and haven’t been successful. I feel so defeated and alone through this process. I feel like I’ll have to go through the same process I went through before. I thought it was going to be easy TTC my ...

Hi all. I’m currently recovering from the flu which has had me in bed and barely eating for a week. I’m due to have a frozen embryo transfer later this month. Should I consider postponing? Worried about reduced chances of success because of my illness. Thanks

Starting second ivf cycle. Any cycle buddies?

Period started a couple of days ago, and now started estrogen. I had IVF 2 years ago and that gave me my beautiful little girl. IVF with a toddler feels so different! Anyone else just started? Or doing IVF with a toddler at the moment? xx

I read most commonly it is 28 days, but can range from 21-35 days. I just wonder as it's slightly shorter in length, is the possibility less.

Curious if anyone else has found themselves in a similar position where their embryos were frozen in pairs without ever being informed or giving consent? We were very fortunate to be able to freeze 11 embryos from our NHS IVF round. We had 3 single embryo transfers and 4 double embryo transfers in total, the first ...

We have a 2 year old conceived via IVF on NHS, we had 1 frozen embryo from that round which we transferred in October and failed. We were so deflated and sad that it didn’t work and have looked to pursue 1 round of IVF privately (financially this is our limit). I’m 38 and feel time is ticking but I get moments where...

Any other women out there absolutely TERRIFIED of getting an IUD? I do hear it’s one of the most popular birth controls and I have been recommended to it from a physician before. But ever since I became sexually active and to this day it’s a HELL NO for me. It seems so incredibly invasive and I just don’t like the t...
