Does anyone based in the UK know what the process is for an FET? I have a toddler who turns 2 next month and feel like I’ve been away from the process for ages. We had 2 fresh transfers the first time around to have our son so I have no idea what FET is like if anyone has any info they could share? We are hoping to ...

About to go for round 2 of ivf but a FET this time. Can you tell me your best advice and tips for what you think a successful round would be? McDonald’s salty chips are obviously a must!!

Am I seeing this right? Sorry... I had my baby a year ago from IVF after years of infertility. I'm a little in shock and now questioning if I'm reading this right... xx

Hi I’m going through second IVF after a failed IVF 20 months ago and started last week on 350 and I’ve just had my internal scan to check my follicles and they’ve upped the dose to 450 anyone else experienced increase or decrease with their stims?

Just wondering what others would in this situation. Trying to conceive our second child (first was via IVF and is now 3). This is our third cycle. Had our day 10 scan and only have 2 follicles responding. I have a very very low AMH and am 40. Clinic have suggested going to egg collection but have left the decision...

I had my first son through IVF, he’s going to be 2 in March. My husband and I have been TTC our second child since July and haven’t been successful. I feel so defeated and alone through this process. I feel like I’ll have to go through the same process I went through before. I thought it was going to be easy TTC my ...

Hi all. I’m currently recovering from the flu which has had me in bed and barely eating for a week. I’m due to have a frozen embryo transfer later this month. Should I consider postponing? Worried about reduced chances of success because of my illness. Thanks

Starting second ivf cycle. Any cycle buddies?

Period started a couple of days ago, and now started estrogen. I had IVF 2 years ago and that gave me my beautiful little girl. IVF with a toddler feels so different! Anyone else just started? Or doing IVF with a toddler at the moment? xx

I read most commonly it is 28 days, but can range from 21-35 days. I just wonder as it's slightly shorter in length, is the possibility less.

Curious if anyone else has found themselves in a similar position where their embryos were frozen in pairs without ever being informed or giving consent? We were very fortunate to be able to freeze 11 embryos from our NHS IVF round. We had 3 single embryo transfers and 4 double embryo transfers in total, the first ...

We have a 2 year old conceived via IVF on NHS, we had 1 frozen embryo from that round which we transferred in October and failed. We were so deflated and sad that it didn’t work and have looked to pursue 1 round of IVF privately (financially this is our limit). I’m 38 and feel time is ticking but I get moments where...

Any other women out there absolutely TERRIFIED of getting an IUD? I do hear it’s one of the most popular birth controls and I have been recommended to it from a physician before. But ever since I became sexually active and to this day it’s a HELL NO for me. It seems so incredibly invasive and I just don’t like the t...

Having another loss but first through ivf even with good lining and pgta tested embryo. How can this happen or what reasons are there? I dnt get it. Devastated

Been on the pill for a very very long time. Considering having the injection instead. Does anyone how where they inject it? I’m reading several different things👀🤷🏽‍♀️

I am scheduled to get an IUD put in for the first time and I’m a bit nervous about it. I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself.

Hi everyone, I'm excited to be starting my medication and IVF journey next month! I was formally diagnosed with pcos in November and have been on Metformin since then as per my clinics advice. They have said that I will be at risk of OHSS but my meds will be balanced and monitored to avoid this. I've been reading on...

Is IVF generally covered by the insurance? I had an abortion this past year due to medical conditions and my husband had the vasectomy done after we found out I was pregnant 😭. Does anyone know if this specific case could by covered? Thanks 🫶🏻

Does anyone know if you get any NHS help when you have already had a child but struggling to conceive with your second?

My husband and I are currently going through IVF. I've been on medication since December 30th and have our next appointment Wednesday to see if we are ready for our egg retrieval Friday or Saturday. I'm 32 have PCOS but also have a deminishing egg reserve so I only have about 4 eggs on each side. Really nervous abou...
