mama’s drop your experience with iud

Hi all I’ve just had a failed transfer of my only embryo. I am really struggling today and feel hopeless for the future and don’t see IVF working for us after being given 10% chance of success with my age and low AMH. Just wondering if anyone has any tips with how to keep going and not feel miserable all the time...

Hey ladies I had IUI procedure almost a week ago, should I have signs of pregnancy yet? Has anyone gone through this journey that could give me some hope, I’m 40 years old so I know the chances are low but I just have a good feeling this could be what we needed all along, I have a 15 year old so I know I can get pre...

I had my baby the end of January 24, I’ve not lost any weight since having him apart from a blip when I was poorly. I’ve always said I wouldn’t consider the monjaro injections but I have always struggled with my weight. What are people’s thoughts on them, if you have been on them have you had many side effects??

Hello I am Katie I been trying to get pregnant since August and they just started this med called ferma has anyone tryed it?

Does anybody have any tips to help make the whole process of IVF any easier? Both mentally and physically speaking. We start birth control next cycle so it’s finally starting. I’m just kind of freaking out about the whole thing, hoping that it works for us and that I respond well to the meds and retrieval. Praying...

Has anyone had their doctor use an ultra sound for an iud insertion? My doctor is saying it’s necessary but I’ve never heard of that. This is my first c-section though so I don’t know..

Hey there, I live near Atlanta GA, and we’re just getting started with our IVF process, my husband already did a sperm aspiration and we are going through the payments to get started with my part of the process. The question is: How much did you spend on the medications? All the shots and everything else was needed?...

Hello!!! I am one of the unfortunate women who has a very difficult time conceiving. I am considering IVF but my partner has no idea what it is. Before I try to get him on board with it, I was hoping to get some feedback from you ladies! Have anyone done IVF? How did your partner feel about it? How many rounds did...

36 weeks and baby is still extended/frank breech! Got ECV booked next Wednesday but just wondered if anyone has done moxibustion and if it worked? Did you get the sticks to do yourself or get it done by a professional? The reviews on Amazon for the sticks seem to break in delivery making it hard to use yourself so t...

Hello, we have just gone through our first round of IVF. I responded really well to the stims, had 32 follicles which they expected to get around 22 eggs. During egg collection, we only got 13 with only 1 egg fertilising. They had put me on medication for a frozen transfer due to the amount of eggs they were expecti...

Are there any questions I should ask during my next consultation or things I should ask/push for regarding tests or investigations. I’ve had two failed fresh transfers the first was with a 5cc embryo and the last one 4AB. I only have one Frozen and so a lot is riding on this next transfer to go well before thinking...

So I had a consultants appointment a couple of weeks ago and there was high leukocytes in my wee so they sent it off for testing, it came back not growing so they said nothing to worry about. Just had my 16 week midwife appointment and the same again, high leukocytes, so she’s sent it off again but she said if it co...

This is a long one sorry. So I've been diagnosed with brain tumor and my Drs want to put me on this drug which is supposed to slow down any growth . Its technically not chemo/radio but I can't be pregnant while I'm on it. I want to have a second child (already have 1) and my Dr said he can give me a year to get preg...

Hello, We are considering ivf abroad but it’s such a minefield and I don’t know where to go or who. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We’d need to have icis ivf due to male fertility problems.

I just turned 40 this month and have my first IVF appointment on Tuesday. I had my tubes tied and have 2 kids 16 and 13. I do have a higher BMI of 39. I want to know if anyone is in the same boat as I am. I also have PCOS had a little trouble getting pregnant with my first took clomid and no problems with my second....

This might be lengthy, but I’ll try to make it quick and hope it makes sense… so bear with me and brace yourselves. Back in 2016 I was diagnosed as infertile. Later on in life I chose to become a single mother by choice and had a baby via IVF using donor sperm. I went that route after many, many failed relationshi...

Has anyone had endometriosis surgery prior to going through IVF or even after? Did it improve the egg quality? I’m switching doctors for my next IVF and she may suggest getting a surgery before we start the cycle. I’m not sure how I feel because some say it could potentially do damage than improve but some say the...

Hi everyone, I finally made it to my first embryo transfer which happened yesterday afternoon ✨️ There have been a lot of hurdles along the way so it's felt like a long road, but I'm so proud to have got to this point. I'm trying to remain positive whilst realistic, as I know not all fresh embryo transfers work, esp...
