Tomorrow I'm going to have home insemination (only that one attempt possible this cycle). I'm in my early 40s so every cycle counts. But Tuesday I have an exploratory medical procedure that requires taking medication that could interfere with a growing embryo. There's not much research on the possible side effects. ...

I have just started these capsules alongside our other fertility medication & injections. If you have taken this medication before, what’s been your experience? Did it help you conceive? What side effects did you experience?

I'm 36 (turning 37 in June) and my daughter has just turned 13 months. I've been discussing with my partner about having a second kid and I just keep going all in and out. He's happy to have another but if I don't want to then he's fine with that too. He has said he would love to have another child with me but he un...

My first IUI is tomorrow. I’m feeling super nervous, anxious, excited, and most definitely impatient. I was medicated this cycle using 5mg letrozole and a trigger shot. I had one mature follicle at my last scan on Monday morning. We have been TTC+ years and have MFI. I’m just curious what others have experienced? Wa...

I have my tubes tied and regret it so much. Wondering if I could still have a baby through IVF?

Has anyone had ivf for first child and had success and it was unexplained and then fell naturally for second child

Anyone had a positive/ successful procedure with slow growing embryos. Just got the day 5 report and feedback is that embryos have not reached blastocyst stage and they will continue to be monitored. ******Update**** Just got my report back. Only one out of 12 fertilized made it to day 7. It has been sent for test...

I was told for my age (I'm 36) roughly half of the embryos would be genetically abnormal. We just did got our PGT-A results and out of 3 embryos, only 1 was euploid. We had 8 collected, 6 mature and fertilised, 3 made it to day 5/6 with grading 5AB, 5BB and 6BB. The 5AB was the one that was euploid. Before I had 2 e...

Am I missing something? Vance and other Republicans are wanting to encourage people to have kids but at the same time rejecting the right to IVF. Make it make sense please?

Hi everyone, after our third and final IVF cycle, we ended up with 3 blastocysts, which have now been sent for PGT testing. I'm feeling really nervous because we've never made it this far before. We switched clinics for this cycle, and the new doctor primed my body with vitamins and a nightly 3-unit shot of Omnitrop...

Has anyone successfully gotten pregnant taking geritol? I saw it on tik tok and thought I would give it a try. I started taking it a couple days ago on the first day of my period. It says to take it your whole cycle and the saying is there is a baby at the end of every bottle. Just wondering if it has worked for any...

Can’t remember if husband done the pull out method, but I’m anxiously waiting for my period to come 😶‍🌫️

I thought for sure we had done it this time. I tested LH consistently, and we nailed the timing. Two days ago, I started having very light spotting (8dpo). That lasted that whole day and through yesterday - very light, pink/brown spotting with no cramping. Overnight last night (today is 10dpo) my period started. I w...

I'm going to ask my doctor for an IUD at my upcoming appt but I am worried it'll affect my supply. Any moms have experience with this?

Hey! Hope you're all okay. I just needed some advice. So I have endometriosis and pcos which is annoying. Me and my partner haven't exactly been trying for a baby but not been careful either if that makes any sense lol. But is there any natural remedies to help get me pregnant as we both would love another child. T...

Hi ladies I went to get my Marina coil (IUD) removed but the doctor said she can’t see it and it might have gone up in the womb! She’s booked me an appointment at a clinic who specialise in this but has this happened to anyone!!! I’m so worried 🥺 will I be able To conceive again 🥺

I’ve just had an appointment with a fertility doctor and he has said it is highly unlikely to be able to have a baby with my own eggs. It happens to just a couple of people in a hundred at this age. We’ve been trying for a while and starting to believe him. IVF isn’t an option due to low ovarian reserve. I’m feeli...

So, I’ve done two rounds of IVF. The first round we got a low number of eggs and whilst they all fertilised, non made it to transfer. Second round, we got double the number of eggs, half fertilised but only one made it to transfer and has resulted in a chemical. So my question is this, given that I will have to do a...

I’m thinking of requesting the addition of trigger shots to my medicated cycles (letrozol ) has anyone ever done something similar and is it worth it ?

Has anyone got any honest reviews on this medication. I feel so fed up of not ovulating and wanting to have my second baby for over a year now and seeing everyone around me conceiving It's really starting to impact on my mental health.
