Wanted to share our story as we can't shout it from the roof tops yet! We'd been trying for over 2 years and IVF was recommended to us as the last resort. We had hoops to jump through to get Military funding- not the easiest thing to get, but we got it. So then it was time for us to wait for my next cycle to start s...

I am about to start my first cycle of IVF in the next month or so and am really struggling with whether I tell my employer or not. My manager (who is very senior in the business) is good manager and I am sure it would be received well. My hesitation comes from not wanting everyone to know my business, to put it c...

Hi everyone Just posting as I feel so alone. Really struggling today. Low AMH but been trying conceive naturally before starting IVF (if they allow us to proceed).

Hey all! My embryologist told me the other day that if you are age 38 and under your embryos are all likely to be normal, but age over 38 they are likely to be abnormal, and thats worried me! Please could you let me know any positive stories to ease my mind? Caz xx

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I do have 2 kids and a regular cycle. Trying for 3&4. Twins would be wonderful. But I’m happy with just having them back to back. Curious about recommendations on what you think makes you most likely to conceive and encourage the egg and sperm to meet up and create the baby...

I have a FET scheduled for next week. I’m currently on 3x utrogestan pessaries but have also been told the clinic will do my bloods to check progestrond levels and prescribe Lubion if needed. I’m petrified of how painful these injections will be and the side effects. I had a FET earlier in the year which resulted...

Hi 🌸 I’m starting my injections today, for a possible egg retrieval in about 10/12 days. Is anyone starting at around the same time? Baby dust to everyone ✨

Hi ❤️ I really need your advice and to hear your story🙏🏽x I'm turning 36 in February and have mild Endometriosis.

I'm in a negative headspace with where I am in my IVF journey and I'm looking for success stories from those who have stage 4 endo/specifically an endometrioma on their ovary/ovaries and have had a successful pregnancies. Please give me hope 🙏

I had my egg retrieval yesterday and they only managed to retrieve 6 eggs which I was disappointed at (33yrs old). They called to advise that 3 matured and 2 fertilised which they have injected as we're going through ICSI. I feel really disheartened by it and I know it only takes one but I'm hoping it's enough…

So we’re starting IUI in the new year after 2 losses over 1.5 years. Can you please share how IUI went for you? The process, timing, meds required, etc. Just looking to see the process of it and to hear people’s personal experiences who have had success with it. Thank you!

Can anyone share their experience using this herb to regulate menstrual cycles and improve fertility?

We are starting our IVF journey and our consultant has asked us to first see a Genetic Counsellor due to a condition I have, and a condition my partner's grandfather has. Has anyone seen a genetic counsellor as part of the IVF process? I'm really not sure what to expect. What do they even do?! 😂

I watched a fertility Q&A video on a fertility website this afternoon as I’m off work and the stats for live birth rates at this age are pretty impossible they said. Would love to hear success stories via natural conception or ovulation induction. IVF isn’t an option for us. I’m so upset to think ladies can’t have b...
