Fertility Treatments

As the title says, I don’t qualify for ivf due to my bmi being 46. I need to loose 40-50kg to be able to be in the category for IVF and was told to come back when I loose weight. I have received no support from the doctors, if I could loose that amount of weight, I wouldn’t be overweight right now. Has anyone else...

So I saw my consultant today who is booking my delivery for august when I’m 38weeks, they asked me to think about being sterilised at the same time, it completely took me by surprise tbh, I’d never thought about it before, this will be my third Csection so they don’t advise to have another pregnancy/section after th...

How do you use preseed or conceive plus if you’re naturally ‘wet’. We have just got preseed and used it once. My DH says it makes it too wet (naturally I am during O!) I feel like it might be a game changer, first time I used whatever it said on the packet my DH really struggled. Last night I thought I’d use just ...

My GP today asked if we would like to be referred to a fertility specialist to proceed to the next step getting pregnant (we believe the main issue is sperm low motility).

Hello, I’ve been diagnosed with low AMH (5.5). I’m starting IVF next month. I’m just wondering what people’s experience of a similar situation have been? How many eggs/embryos did you get?
