Can anyone tell me if preseed works ? I've seen mixed reviews.

Someone I know is having constant arguments with his girlfriend because IVF failed and she blames him. He is 58 and she is 51! He already has children from previous relationship and just wants to enjoy his life now. She is 51 a Professor, has a great career and has done well for herself. Now she wants to try for a ...

Hi I’ve got Aciclovir tablets for genital warts how long does it take for them to go? Thanks

I just did my first round of IVF and our transfer failed. Our embryo was graded at 3BC which is considered poor. Has anyone had low/poor quality embryos and gone on to do further rounds of IVF and produce higher quality embryos? If so what did you do different second time?

Has anyone ever gotten pregnant on the iud? I’ve had it for a year and it’s been great but my hubby and I did the deed right after my period which we always do. Now it’s been almost 2 weeks and my boobs are killing me and my emotions are everywhere. Please say I’m crazy.

Hey girls, I’m on my 4 day of IVF injection and my doctor told me to do a short protocol freeze all as my AMH is a little bit high and could develop OHSS symptoms. How long after egg retrieval did you have your FET? I don’t have any side effects yet, I can only see a bit of weight gain but for sure it’s water r...

Was it with or without IVF?

Hello ladies, I’m trying to get an IUD and I’m very scared I heard a lot of horrible stories and I’m not willing to go through another pain trauma. Do you know if in Canada I can ask them to put me to sleep or anything that will make the process easier? Also what IUD do you recommend

My son is 14 months old and he is an IVF baby who I fell pregnant with on the first FET. I was on my own when I had the FET to get pregnant with him as my husband was away for work and I obviously didn’t have another child so I could just rest and not do too much. However, tomorrow I am having a FET for a second ch...

Hi lovelies! I just wanted to ask if anyone has gone through IVF whilst having PCOS and how their journey went? I currently have a high egg count (40😟) and I’m so worried about starting treatment! Would love to hear your experiences.

We had our first fertility appointment this week after 18 months of trying to start our family. We have had a miscarriage, an eptopic pregnancy and then a diagnosis of unexplained infertility… it’s been a long road. So I’m brand new to IVF… I guess like most women on here, I never imagined this would be part of ou...

Has anyone here had successful IVF with a BMI over 35? I’ve been on a weight loss journey and went from 47 to 36 -but it’s still over the limit for most clinics. I am a healthy and active person now though. Thankfully my clinic is supportive but it would be good to hear some success stories if you have any.

We've been trying for baby #2 for the past year. Our son was planned but didn't really use any form of method to conceive. Open to other methods as well. Really scared about having to go the IVF route (nothing wrong with it. Just seems scary).

IUI is set for Monday. I have to take the shot on Saturday night. They tell you not to be nervous and not to work yourself up like how do I do that? That’s like asking somebody are you all right when they’re on the verge of crying and after they ask you that it just basically opens the water gates! Ugh, is anyone el...

I’m currently on the injection and started bleeding heavily around 4 weeks after getting my first one but stopped bleeding around 5 weeks after that. Could have been to do with postpartum bleeding as I have a 4 month old. I’m on the injection because I want my next pregnancy to be healthy for me and baby but I want ...

Ok ladies, anyone have a short luteal phase and were you able to do anything to lengthen it? Mine is only 8 or 9 days long and I’m worried it will increase time to conception because only eggs that implant asap will have a chance. I’ve started taking vitex again as well as supplementing but c and d (on top of my pre...

Hiya I have just been instructed with a new protocol of buserelin injections. Has anyone else been on this? Would like to know how it went. My last two FET plans were the same. Estrogen tablets and progesterone pessaries. First FET didn’t implant, 2nd implanted but miscarried at 6 weeks. This is my 3rd and I’m sup...

Hi everyone I am running a ivf support group I’ll put the link in bio

Hi I know this is a tough topic for some but I’m gonna ask anyways and I hope someone is willing to answer but I have my insurance with blue cross and they cover most of my IVF treatment but I’m left with a copay of 6,100 what information do y’all have on loans or anything that can help me I would really appreciate it

We had our first consultation today for fertility treatment (due to being a same sex couple). My follicle count on my scan was 18, but we learned that my AMH is on the low side for my age (6.8). Feeling a bit down about it and wondering if anyone has any experience with an AMH around that level and follicle count ...
