So the hospital gave me medication for bv but they are also testing for chlamidya and I’m so nervous. Does it on only come from multiple partners? Or can you still get it from having one partner? I’m genuinely scared.

Was it worth it? As background, my husband and I have been trying for just over a year now and have decided to start IVF next month.

Hey, I’ve just received my new patient IVF consultation for May with Hewitt Fertility. Generally, how long after the initial appointment is it usually before you start your first cycle?
Hi everyone! Today I had my transfer and I just went for a wee. I saw a few tinny bubbles and now I'm thinking my embryo has managed to slip out! I know people say this is impossible, but what if it slipped out with the fluid that it was carried in with? It was a long wee, I drank two pints of water instead of the a...

I have a low AMH but managed to get 5 PGT tested embryos. Having issues with my lining- only got up to 7.8mm after maximum drugs. Looks trilaminar and no scar tissue.

Does anyone have any success stories from round 2? Anything you did differently, and how long did you wait between? (My collection was in Jan and my transfer w...

Hi. My husband and I live in the East Midlands, UK. Private semen analysis showed severe oligospermia (<1 million sperm/mL), with poor morphology and motility on the very few they could find. GP said he has to have another analysis in 8-10 weeks before they can make any referrals and referral has to be in my name, a...
Does anyone have any experience with the Paragard IUD? I'm considering it for birth control because I want a nonhormonal option but I'm worried about it being uncomfortable or painful during sex (for me and for him).
Does anyone know how to get rid of the lumps caused with the injections??? I have a few and they are sore and lumpy!!

Hi! About to start my first round in just over two weeks and have been down a rabbit hole about diet and how it can help. Has anyone found that when they eat a certain way it helped their chances??
