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...

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...

Well round 4 of Femara is this month. Nurse told me today if it doesn’t work this round next step is sending to fertility doctor and talk about iui or Ivf which we can’t afford. Just trying to not stress but this is gonna be a tough pill to swallow if this doesn’t work 😩🙏

Hi! My husband and I had our initial consult yesterday to start the ivf process. We are planning on doing our first cycle in February. I am already feeling extremely stressed & depressed as it has been a year of trying with two chemical pregnancies back to back. I wanted to know if anyone had any tips or suggestio...

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.

I seriously cannot believe I am 26 weeks… after years & years of “infertility”, then a huge bleed at 6 weeks… to now now lying down feeling my girl kicking at 26weeks 😍♥️

Hi ladies I recently went to hospital to see the fertility specialist and she is doing a external and internal scan and said I may also need my fallopian tubes checked just wondering if anyone els had this in the past . Sorry if this is posted in the wrong group

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...

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 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.

Hi All, Please can I ask what to expect after embryo transfer ? Is it painful ? Also can I go to work after or need to take day off ? Thanks x

Finally had my 12 week scan today and I was only 1 day out on the date I thought I was due.. only issue was the baby wouldn’t move into a position where they could do the test for Down syndrome so have to go back at 15 weeks for bloods to find out!! Scan picture ( not very clear and baby was being stubborn) this is...

Hi all Looks like I’ve potentially got lupus Just waiting to be referred to rheumatology before starting my next transfer (will be my 5th) Had the tests done as have recurrent implantation failure Just wondering does anyone have lupus and if so did you do anything in particular during ivf? Was it steroids etc? ...

Hi all , I am confused, I just got letter from nhs funded to chose clinic for ivf. But I am confused shall I chose same clinic which I had treatment in the past (privately but failed cycle) or chose different one this time. Please advise. I am only one cycle nhs funded allowed because of my area code?

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...

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...

What size were your follicles when you triggered for an IUI?

I just dropped three different polls. One for TTC, pregnancy & postpartum (birth to 7 years). Do me a favor & vote on all the ones that apply to you. I can’t see who votes but I can see the votes and the percentages. As a thank you for participating, grab a free guide from the link below & in the…

I didn’t think I’d be one of these people but can anyone tell from these where it’s a girl or boy? We had IVF so I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for this scan 😊

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...
