DE IVF

After multiple failed rounds we made to choice to go donor route as my low AMH was a huge factor. Donor had egg retrieval yesterday and we got 14 eggs, wave of excitement. Call today, out of 14 : 6 were mature, out of 6 : 5 fertilized. Not a fan of the number game part of IVF and struggling to remain positive. Won’t...

Clomid advice!

Hi I’ve been TTC for a while now, all my blood tests came back normal however my doctor said progesterone should be 30 and mine was 29. He wasn’t worried said it’s normal. He said the consultant probably won’t offer me clomid as it’s normal but I could argue it as it is below 30. Wondering if anyone had a similar si...

Looking for positivity… ✨

I’m 10dpt of FET. Tonight I took a cheap test and the result was negative. Beta is on Monday with my clinic. Has anyone tested negative 10dpt and still had a good outcome? We were really hoping this could be our turn 😞 Thank you.

What if I never make it to FET?

I just need to vent or maybe hear stories of encouragement. I went thru a very tumultuous 3 years to have my son, with many failed pregnancies, ectopics, PCOS, etc. We started IVF and made embryos but ultimately I ended up conceiving and delivering him without intervention. Fast forward another 3 years and we’d like...

Ivf / Icsi

So me and my other half went threw ivf/ Icsi (2020 ) and had our beautiful daughter in 2021 we both were classed as unexplained (so both fine ) so it worked first time for us luckily, I’m trying to remember though if they keep your embryos for a while ? I know we’ve had our child but I wasn’t sure if they kept them ...

I just want to stop crying! 😔

I really just want to stop feeling like I have a knife in my heart! I honestly don't know how some of you have done ivf 4/5/6 times. I've done it twice and it hurts so much! I just feel sick with emotion.

Ovarian cyst

So, I had an early scan yesterday at 6+4 weeks. My little sweet pea is doing well, and their little heart was beating away, but the sonographer found a 6cm cyst on my right ovary. I have to wait until my 12 week scan to see if it shrinks or grows. If it grows, I may need surgery, in my 2nd trimester which runs the...

Undigested food in poo help (photo)

Apologies for the pic, but I really need to know if that’s normal or is it something to worry about. My LO has been having an unexplained diarrhea on and off since starting nursery. Every time it happens I keep finding what looks like his entire meal in his nappy afterwards. It’s obvious he didn’t chew the food at a...

Progesterone level after fresh transfer

I am in 2WW but already had a positive test and did a blood test privately to check my progesterone levels. It came back at 64.8 nmol/L (=20.37ng/mL). My fertility clinic said: You had a fresh transfer with us and we only monitor progesterone levels for frozen cycles. We therefore do not have a benchmark for wha...
