Hysteroscopy

I had my first IVF baby last June via emergency c section. Due to my low AMH, we want to go for baby number 2 now. I had a scan which showed my lining was thinner than it should be and there was some “calcification” whatever that is! So basically I may have some scar tissue from the c section and my Dr wants me to h...

Trying again after IVF

Does anyone know what support (and how to get it) the NHS offers after you’ve had successful IVF? We only got one embryo from our last round so don’t have any frozen. We were extremely fortunate that our one embryo took and we now have our baby girl, but we’d love to have another in the future. We’ve never had a pos...

Finally after 2 years!

It's been a long road! After trying everything I could possibly think of to try and get pregnant, I got some conceive plus from amazon! First try with it and BAM am so happy! Its definitely worth a go if you haven't tried it. It's been the longest 2 years of my life!

Exercise during IVF?

Hi ladies, just wondering if any of you have done exercises while on treatment? If so, please can you share what you did. I normally do weights, quite heavy. But I’ve heard that it’s a big no no while on treatment. Thanks in advance ❤️

Adoption during IVF?

Has anyone on here looked into or pursued adoption while going through IVF? Adoption is a back-up plan my partner and I have discussed if IVF doesn’t work for us. We’ve had one failed IVF cycle so far. We’re tempted to start the adoption process while we pursue another round of IVF to see if either (or both!) work i...

Dealing with others

Hi! Has anyone experienced people being insensitive or dismissive to your ttc/ivf/loss journey? I have a “friend” who keeps saying we went through the same thing when she jumped into IVF 6months after ttc for no reason other than to get pregnant faster (she is only 30) and got pregnant right away? I also have anothe...

Trying for a second baby

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 had chlamidya before?

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.
