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.

Depo shot

Has anyone gotten pregnant after getting off depo if so how long. I’m also very small like 100lbs and 25 years old

Does anyone with an iud, husband say that they can feel it while having sex?

It’s scaring me because he feels it and it has me wondering if it’s not far up enough and he’s gonna get me pregnant 😩😩

Number of IUI’s

How many IUIs did y’all have to have before success?? Or did you have to move to IVF without any IUI success?

Do you know the difference between IUI and IVF?

I recently came to find out that my own mother and my elder stepdaughter both thought I went through IVF, even though throughout the IUI process I talked about the mechanics of it and how it differs from IVF. I also mentioned several times that my husband and I decided that if we did multiple IUIs without conceiving, we wouldn’t pursue IVF.

I also didn’t have to do the intense prep or egg retrieval, which both would’ve been noticeable and I would’ve talked about it during the process.

I wonder if they just have terrible memories and even though they did know the difference at the time, they have since formed false memories based on the more widely known procedure.
