Wedding 6 weeks post partum

What would you do? If you've been trying for a baby for 4-5years and doing rounds of IVF, and just started a new round hoping this egg will take but would mean you'd be 6 weeks post partum at your wedding ?
Would you just commit to it all?

Fertility clinics are expensive in Nottingham

Is a NHS fertility clinic ok? Or is it better to go to a private clinic?

I feel so confused about ivf clinics as I have had 2 children naturally.

I never expected to pay to put a baby in my uterus. Crazy 😵‍💫.

There a clinic in Manchester seems loads cheaper than Nottingham I don’t know why. But I’ll need to do it in school holidays because I can’t have time of work.

3 years trying to have a 3rd so stressful wasn’t expecting this.

I’ve been for a private scan, I have high egg reserve. I just want my baby, 3 years now 5 losses. Pissed off. Fed up.

Any IVF mummas on here?

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if there are any IVF mummas to be on here? I’m 5w5days but can’t work out what symptoms are the IVF meds and which are pregnancy related. Feel quite anxious that they might all be meds related, so hard waiting for a scan. Just want to know everything is okay!

Week 5 +2

Early to the group and through IVF, anyone else in the sake date range or also done ivf? X

IVF without injection? Pessary only

I’m due a FeT next month and we’ve been quoted for a non injection transfer with just pessaries which is so much cheaper than injections.

To me it feels weird as our precious cycles have been injections.

Google isn’t coming up with answers for rounds with just pessaries and no injections so I’m wondering if anyone else has had a pessary only transfer and success?

Clomid Journey - Turkey?

So, I was thinking of booking a flight to Turkey to go get clomid, as I heard you can buy it over the counter, and I basically need my other PCOS and fertility mums to talk me out of it and tell me I am crazy 🤣
I am getting so desperate now. Can't afford private treatment and clomid was only thing that worked for me with my 1st. (Disclamer: I am NOT condoning taking prescription meds illegally, I am just in need of help, and at the end of my witts)

Private IVF clinics

My latest and final embryo has failed 😔 can anyone recommend any clinics they have used UK or abroad that include HCG with transfers or any extras that may help me or just that you have felt listened to

Devastated

Just found out today our FET with our final embryo has failed. This was our final attempt at a long hoped for second baby. I know we are so lucky to have one already and I will be eternally grateful for her. We are in complete shock that it didn’t work, we were so sure it had. We don’t have the money to try a fresh cycle and at 41 with a low ovarian reserve, there wouldn’t be much point if we did have the money.

Lots of love to you all in all of your individual struggles however they are going. Have to be made of strong stuff to get through life that’s for sure!

Conceiving after 40

Can you tell me if you found it okay conceiving after 40 I have other children. I’m worried that I won’t be able to have more. I want one more next year.
