What am I meant to do 😢

I have low progesterone (it was 18.57nmol at 5DPO and 3.52nmol at 8DPO) so I am ovulating but my progesterone drops too quickly and I also have a short luteal phase of 9 days which all would add up however my fertility clinic won’t prescribe me progesterone support alongside letrozole because the NHS guidance says it’s not a direct cause of infertility. All my research points towards that helping but they literally won’t budge on not giving it despite me using all the above as my argument. I really feel like it would massively help but it requires a prescription. Any advice? UK based

IVF at home testing

I’m looking for advice on whether or not to test at home after my FET coming up next week. It’s my first embryo transfer and I know I can test out the trigger, but it seems like I’ll be spending so much time comparing and squinting eyes and wondering if it’s getting darker or if I’m crazy. I’ll worry about the concentration of my pee and all the things. It sounds like it might be too much.
I’m also worried about waiting till the blood test. That seems really hard as well and I bet I’ll want to test at home early - but if I haven’t tested out my trigger, then I’ll be worried that any line might just be from the trigger.

What have y’all done? I would like to hear your experiences with testing how often and when to help me make my decision beforehand. I’ll be triggering tonight.

Discussing fertility with GP?

It is worth contacting GP in regard to trying for a baby naturally?

What can I expect? Will there be any form of support/ assistance to help me get pregnant faster?

Pcos secondary infertility?

Hi ladies, I have pcos and after a year of trying we did two round of Letro and got pregnant. Per the pre sticks ( which ik aren’t always accurate for pcos but have gotten progesterone checked at day 21 and have been around 10 before Letro and like 18 after Letro) I have always ovulated.

I’m on my third round of Letro and it’s day 25 and still no ovulation. I’m kind of just spiraling that I am extra broken now and will never be able to get pregnant again. Anyone else go through this? 😭

Mixed (Hispanic/white) Boy Names 💙🩵

My fiancé and I are struggling to find a suitable boy name. The only one we’ve considered is Noah, which I like, but I’d appreciate more options. I’m not a fan of conventional boy names. I’m looking for something unique yet still appealing. Could you suggest some places or ideas to help us find more unique names?

Conceiving after birth (post infertility)

Hi, I’m just looking for some advice, I’m only 20 weeks pregnant atm with my first but we’ve had so many issues conceiving in the first place, it’s taken 6 constant years of trying with not even one positive test until this baby! (No losses thank god)

After a few years of trying with no success we did find out I have an under active thyroid and PCOS and got diagnosed as infertile but now I can’t be happier!

Everything said I know I haven’t gone through the birth yet and I do want to give my body the time to heal but honestly we’ve always wanted a big family and there’s so much anxiety about being able to conceive again.

I know after you give birth you’re most fertile which is great but I just don’t know how long that lasts. I obviously don’t want to get pregnant 6 weeks after I’ve given birth but if that’s the only choice so it doesn’t take 6 years again I would do it :/

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Fertility tracker success stories?

Hello mamas! I’m looking into fertility trackers (kegg, inito, etc.) after a year of failing to conceive. Does anyone have any success stories (negative reviews also welcome) to help me decide what might be best? TIA!

Any mommas gotten pregnant with IUD

Specifically copper IUD. If so, what happen did they take the IUD out or left it inside since it has no hormones.
