Hi. I was wondering if anyone has requested to do a IUI? My husband and I are wanting to move past just taking ovulation meds.

I'm keen to try for a second baby but my partner is not. Everytime I try to talk to him about it, laying out all the reasons as to why I think it's a good idea, he just shuts the conversation down with a hard 'No'. Our first baby was conceived via IVF, and I have two embryos in storage. All I want to do is TRY for a...

Has anyone who has undergone IVF done the NIPT test? My doctor still recommended, so I did it today and I’m so freaked out!

So the hospital gave me medication for bv but they are also testing for chlamidya and I’m so nervous. Does it on only come from multiple partners? Or can you still get it from having one partner? I’m genuinely scared.

What did you take after ovulation to help implantation? Any and all tips are appreciated

Was it worth it? As background, my husband and I have been trying for just over a year now and have decided to start IVF next month. We have gone through fertility testing - blood tests to check hormones, vitamins, thyroid function, etc. as well as an Hsg test for me. The only thing doctors can pinpoint is my husb...

Hey, I’ve just received my new patient IVF consultation for May with Hewitt Fertility. Generally, how long after the initial appointment is it usually before you start your first cycle?

Has anyone ever tried ovasitol or myo inositol for their pcos ? Which one worked best in your opinion ? Any recommendations ?

I have a low AMH but managed to get 5 PGT tested embryos. Having issues with my lining- only got up to 7.8mm after maximum drugs. Looks trilaminar and no scar tissue. In my mind I really wanted to get above 8mm so not to waste embryos as I know success rates are higher… Should I transfer or cancel the cycle? I hav...

I am so devastated that round one was unsuccessful - it was my first. We had two blasts, one didn’t survive the thaw and the only remaining one didn’t stick. Does anyone have any success stories from round 2? Anything you did differently, and how long did you wait between? (My collection was in Jan and my transfer w...

Ian absolutely terrified….

Sharing in case anyone is struggling too and might relate …. - I was 1.5 years ttc baby #2 - I’m 32 and my husband is 33 - We took Proceive max vitamins - We did tests to check my eggs and my husbands sperm count / motility. Results were slightly below average but doctor told us to keep trying - Last month anot...

Hi. My husband and I live in the East Midlands, UK. Private semen analysis showed severe oligospermia (<1 million sperm/mL), with poor morphology and motility on the very few they could find. GP said he has to have another analysis in 8-10 weeks before they can make any referrals and referral has to be in my name, a...

Does anyone have any experience with the Paragard IUD? I'm considering it for birth control because I want a nonhormonal option but I'm worried about it being uncomfortable or painful during sex (for me and for him).

…struggled with unexplained infertility for a few years and a couple of failed transfers then a successful one which resulted in my sweet miracle boy who is one. Started thinking about the future but I don’t think I would go through ivf again for a number of reasons (money, age - we’re late thirties/early forties,...

Does anyone know how to get rid of the lumps caused with the injections??? I have a few and they are sore and lumpy!!

How long should I wait after the trigger shot to test? I had an IUI Saturday (apr. 20) and this time I’m super anxious

Hello! My partner and I have just been approved for NHS funding for 2 rounds of IVF! I'm waiting for the first appointment, would anyone be able to tell me what happens next! How long roughly is it from first appointment to implantation ❤️ thank you

Hi! About to start my first round in just over two weeks and have been down a rabbit hole about diet and how it can help. Has anyone found that when they eat a certain way it helped their chances??

Any tips for inserting them right? Is it better to do it vaginally or rectally?
