TTC: IVF Support

I just had my ultrasound ahead of retrieval and they found a uterine Polyp. My doctor said it's not a big deal and fairly common and that she'll have to take it out before they transfer. Did anyone else go through this? I'm afraid between having to heal from retrieval then going back in for this and then healing again it'll be months before an actual transfer could happen.

I had a headache that wouldn’t shift on day 7 but thankfully it only lasted a day. I’ve had post vaginal bleed last night when I wiped the colour was brown. Today I’ve got mild cramping. I’m starting to feel panicked as this is my 4th transfer with no previous successes. The bleeding I didn’t have on any of my previous transfers the headaches I had but would last for several days so I’m pleased that it only been for a day but the cramping today has me concerned. Did anyone else experience any of the symptoms. I’ve got 2 days to go before testing.

Hello. Looking for any advice on what people have found works, to prep for collection and transfer? Whilst trying naturally I’ve been taking supplements and trying to prioritise fertility foods, I’ve been off caffeine and alcohol for over 6 months.. but nothing seemed to help. Wasn’t sure if there was ivf specific prep people swear by! Thanks

Hi, I'm 28 and have recently found out my AMH is 3.8 pmol/L. My partner's semen analysis is good and I've conceived naturally before, although unfortunately it ended in an early miscarriage. We've now been advised to consider IVF rather than continuing to try naturally for another 6 months because of my low ovarian reserve. I've been offered either multi-cycle IVF, where embryos have to be transferred before another egg collection, or embryo freezing/banking, where I could potentially do a few collections and freeze embryos before starting transfers. I'm leaning towards banking because we'd like more than one child and I like the idea of creating embryos from my eggs now while I'm 28, rather than potentially needing another collection several years from now. I'm also finding choosing a clinic really overwhelming. I keep worrying that choosing the “wrong” one could affect our chances, especially with my low AMH. I'm comparing success rates, reviews, experience with low ovarian reserve, cost and travelling distance and just going round in circles! Has anyone around my age with similarly low AMH been through this? Did you bank embryos first, and how did you decide which clinic to trust? Would really appreciate hearing your experiences ❤️

I have this amazing little girl from my first ever IVF transfer ♥️

I have 1 boy embryo left and 1 female and then 2 mosaic boys. So I'm very limited on my chances for another if I have a failed transfer. Those PIO shots took a huge mental toll on me as I have a severe needle phobia. I can't even look at a needle without panicking.

So that being said I want to do a "natural cycle" as to avoid the injections but Ive seen it's been reported it has a smaller success rate. I would love to hear from those who chose a natural cycle and your experience with it and just general advice 🙂
