Anyone at the Wolfson Fertility Center?

What has your experience been there? Did you find that as a private patient you were treated like an NHS patient?

IUD request

I need advice. I placed a Copper IUD in my home country as I was flying there for a gyno check up after giving birth. But I’ve had 4 menstrual cycles with it, and I’m bleeding like a river. Where do I call or request to take my IUD out and replace with the marine hormonal one?

IVF prep

Hello. Looking for any advice on what people have found works, to prep for collection and transfer? Whilst trying naturally I’ve been taking supplements and trying to prioritise fertility foods, I’ve been off caffeine and alcohol for over 6 months.. but nothing seemed to help. Wasn’t sure if there was ivf specific prep people swear by! Thanks

28, AMH 3.8 – embryo banking & choosing a clinic

Hi, I'm 28 and have recently found out my AMH is 3.8 pmol/L. My partner's semen analysis is good and I've conceived naturally before, although unfortunately it ended in an early miscarriage.
We've now been advised to consider IVF rather than continuing to try naturally for another 6 months because of my low ovarian reserve.
I've been offered either multi-cycle IVF, where embryos have to be transferred before another egg collection, or embryo freezing/banking, where I could potentially do a few collections and freeze embryos before starting transfers.
I'm leaning towards banking because we'd like more than one child and I like the idea of creating embryos from my eggs now while I'm 28, rather than potentially needing another collection several years from now.
I'm also finding choosing a clinic really overwhelming. I keep worrying that choosing the “wrong” one could affect our chances, especially with my low AMH. I'm comparing success rates, reviews, experience with low ovarian reserve, cost and travelling distance and just going round in circles!
Has anyone around my age with similarly low AMH been through this? Did you bank embryos first, and how did you decide which clinic to trust?
Would really appreciate hearing your experiences ❤️

Has anyone here ever gotten pregnant while having an iud?

I know they say the probability is super low but I’m just feeling off. I think it’s just anxiety and my period should be coming soon. Just wanna see how many people have actually experienced it (if any).

IVF protocol when you have adenomyosis

Hi

I got adenomyosis after my first preganancy. Just did another FET and it failed and I wonder if they should have done something else or different as I do have adenomyosis. Is there anything they changed in your protocol for this specifically? Anything to take into account?

Thanks x

TTC

Hey so me and my fiancé have recently discussed our future plans and have decided to start trying for our second child, our first was just kind no contraception and chancing it and kind of a ‘what will be will be’ as we wasn’t sure if I could conceive due to history of issues within my family however this time we’re really trying and I was wondering if anyone has any advice or tips or anything? As we want to of conceived before may next year.

When is the right time to start IVF?

Does anyone have any views on when the time is right to stop trying ‘naturally’ and start IVF?

My partner and I have one child already but trying for a second. Have been trying for a year and have paid for fertility tests in this time, they show we both have a couple of parameters which probably make our chances about 10% each month with properly timed intercourse.
Our clinic have said it’s up to us and we can continue trying naturally for another 3-6months or go for IVF now.

And I’m really struggling with what to do, I so desperately want a baby right now and I know IVF gives best chances for this, but is it too early? Or will I regret not starting now in 6months time.

How have other people made this decision?

IUD Displacement?

I had an iud inserted about 5 days ago. Since then, I’ve noticed that the strings are kinda hanging out of me by a couple of cm and my cervix is extremely low (I can feel it with my pointer finger, and my fingers are quite small). Is my iud trying to come out, is this normal? I can’t call my office until Tuesday, but I did send them a message through my patient portal.

I’m just freaking out about it and need some good news lol

Who has their miracle IVF baby, please tell us your story!

Someone might say, I am a geriatric mother. At 35 I realised that I mingt never be a mother. One miscarriage and few years of trying I end up in IVF clinic. The experience was difficut, there were days filled with hope and light and there were days when the darkness would consume everything. I am so lucky to say that my journey is a good one, after few attempts I bow have my baby girl.
I am now facing a question -> should I try again (later), I still have more embrios left.
Would like to hear IVF stories and see if there is difference in hormone supported vs natural insemination.

Fertility Lube

Anyone have any success stories using fertility lubricant?

IUD

Hey,
Has anyone had the mirena coil fitted post baby and had any issues?
I felt for a few weeks it’s not been right and told it was just adapting to it (had on prior to baby for 9+ years so I knew this was aloud of rubbish) but the coil has come out.
If been told by the dr who inserted it that it’s normal for it to come out post baby but I feel it’s a cop out 🙄

Low Progesterone on day of FET
