IVF Abroad or in the UK?

Hey ladies, I'm looking into my 4th round of IVF/ ICSI. I was wondering whether anyone had treatment abroad and what your experiences were? I'm 39 and with super low AMH. I'm weighing up whether I should look into having treatment abroad or stick to a clinic in the UK.

FET ended in chemical

I had the phone call yesterday to confirm what I already knew, my HCG levels had more than halved. We were so lucky for our first fresh transfer working first time resulting in our beautiful almost 12 month old.

Day 6 embryos

Hi, it seems like a recurrent theme in all my cycles that my embryos grow slowly, they take up to day 6 to reach blastocyst. Has anyone had any success stories or are taking any supplements to improve egg quality

EBF trying to conceive…

Hi ladies I’m currently exclusively breast feeding and my periods have not yet returned. We are trying for baby no.2. When could I test as I won’t know if I’ve ovulated or not? Symptoms can be hard to spot as I get cramps when breastfeeding. Also has anyone got pregnant while breastfeeding? TIA x

Positive?

Been taking the cheap tests off Amazon for the fast 3 days showing faint lines, but not enough for me to be convinced, thought I’d get out the clear blue this morning and I think that’s a definite positive I’m not sure how many DPO I am as I’m irregular.

Has anyone given up but still comes on here to support others?

I was exhausted coming here daily during my TWW. Posting tests swearing I saw a line and looking back I was definitely delusional. After 6 months of testing and trying, I’ve given up. Is there a group designed for us that gave up ttc?
