Can anyone recommend a probiotic to take while undergoing IVF treatment?

Hello! Thank you to this amazing group firstly! I had a quick question, how long does it take for the doctor to start the STIMs process when going though IVF. We’ve had all our blood tests, I’m having a HYCOSY this week and my husband is have a seamen analysis and DNA fragmentation. I guess I have no idea how long...

Hello, I’m currently undergoing IVF treatment and have been diagnosed with DOR. I’m seeking to connect with others in similar situations to learn how you’re navigating this journey. If you’re open to sharing, I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you might have.

I’ve had a fresh transfer but due to have my first frozen transfer which will be a medicated one. My husband seems to think that won’t involve any injections - anyone know if that’s true? / what sort of meds I might expect? Due to speak to consultant about meds etc but being impatient 😂

Do you think the clinic deliberately misses to make more money?

It’s been a 6 year long journey of trauma but I’ve finally graduated from my ivf clinic after having a scan at 7 weeks🥲 I still can’t help but feel so anxious and eagerly waiting to get to the 12 week mark. Any other ivf mamas here?

I have just got the news today that my egg collection where I had 10 eggs collected. 5 fertilised have now gone down to 3. Realistically I’m told that out of the 3 (12,10,8 cell division) there’s 2 potential front runners for transfer but they don’t want to put the one divided at 12 cells back in just yet in case th...

Been pushed by clinic from having all natural to natural modified with ovitrelle trigger yesterday. Im regretful I didn’t advocate for Myself but it’s done now.

We were lucky enough to get pregnant on the first cycle of clomid with our son. Has anyone used clomid for second baby and been successful?🤍

Has anyone had the mirena coil. Pros and cons pls. I’m hearing more negative than positives so pls could you share your experiences as the mirena seems like it most suitable for me (instead of oral or copper iud)

Anyone on for more than a year. Looking for pros and cons. Coppper and other IUDs. Please be comfortably as honest and candid as possible. There is no TMI lol

Hello, We have been trying to conceive baby n⁰2 for over 2 years, had 2 missed miscarriages and now being 40 years old. After an appointment at the fertility clinic, we were told that our best option would be to go for IVF. My AMH result showed that it was quite low so we're now thinking on going with an egg donor...

I'm scheduled to get an IUD on Tuesday. Give it to me straight - how was your experience? I hear nothing but terrible things so I am extremely nervous to get it placed. All I hear is horror stories of extreme insertion pain and/or it failing and getting pregnant anyway. It's making me want to reconsider this, and I'...

Has anyone else gone through IVF? This is my first embryo transfer. I was 7 weeks 1 day at my first US but measured 6 weeks 6 days. I have zero symptoms other than increased fatigue in the mornings.

My husband and I have been TTC for 2 years. We have had three early losses in that timeframe. We are now looking to start IVF as I have low AMH. I also only had 5 follicles in my last two scans (several months apart). We have had tests done and we haven’t identified anything wrong with either of us, apart from tha...

I got pills, they’re multiplying… and I’m loosing control (mainly of my emotional stability)… Ok, so it’s a bad Greace pun, but if you’re also using humour to stay sane through TTC struggles, and have an imminent cycle drop me a 🙌! I’m on track for FET 4th Feb, and would love to find a TWW buddy 🙏🏻 Sorry for the…

My husband just expressed that he wants to practice abstinence. Bc neither one of want to bring kids into this world. I tried to get an IUD, but it can't be placed bc of scar tissue I have. We don't have health insurance or else he'd get snipped. I'm upset he doesn't want to be intimate anymore.
