About to a start our first cycle of ivf and will be doing ICSI - the number of eggs that fertilize and make it to blastocysts to go into PGT testing on average seems bleak 🫤 love to hear stories on how many eggs you started with and how many made it to blastocysts especially if over 40 (I’m 41) and how many were…

Hi could anyone share with me their ivf experience. I know I will not know exact dates abd everyone is different but just trying to get an idea for appointments as I'm going to be telling my work that I am starting ivf and I want to be able to give them as much info as I can. I have had 2 consultations with bloods...

Hi all, I just had my third failed medicated IUI (blood test is meant to be Friday but I already have my period today). Before I next meet with the doctors I would like to be armed with as much knowledge as possible in case they try to argue for a fourth IUI before moving to IVF. I have mild endometriosis confirmed ...

Hey, currently trying for my second baby. I already have a little boy and I would love to get pregnant with a little girl as this will be my last pregnancy.

Hi! I’m about to go through my first IVF cycle. Anticipated egg retrieval in early November. I was just looking for somebody to talk to who is going through it too ❤️

Hi. We going to start ivf soon… or at least I hope so! Our nhs funding are been approved and they told us 7/9 weeks for our appointment for the first cycle. I have low AMH and I want to start to use some supplement to have the best chance on egg quality. I use pre conception vitamin, coq 10… but I read to use dhea (...

Anyone has real life experience on how egg quality was increased and any suggestions on what to do and what supplements to take. Out of 12 fertilized eggs retrieved during Ivf, only one made it through blastocyst. Doctor said the eggs were dark and small. Doctor is convinced egg quality is bad. I’m 32 and I feel ...

Hey, we were lucky enough to have a baby first time round via IVF and we are considering going for a second round to have baby number 2. Has anyone been in this position?

Currently 10 weeks 2 days. I did 2 egg retrievals and 3 failed embryo transfers, did a monitored natural cycle while waiting for insurance to process my final IVF cycle and got pregnant.

I’m about to finalise my payment for going through IVF privately… but I’m second-guessing myself constantly and wondering should we just “keep trying naturally” even though I know that won’t work! 🫣 Is it normal to have these doubts?! I really do want a baby, but I’m feeling so overwhelmed and terrified of the…

Hi everyone, I'm just starting IVF after 2.5 years of infertility, one loss, and now on an IVF journey. I was wondering if I should be taking any fertility supplements on the lead up to it?

Just found out I’m pregnant! Yay! We went through IVF. Any other IVF mamas here?

Has anyone gone through CNY fertility clinic? How was your experience and outcome? TIA!

Is anyone else not on blood clot injections after birth? My sister in law said everyone should be on them after birth but I’ve not been offered them and midwife hasn’t mentioned at any point. I’m 6 days post partum. Thanks!

I start my IVF journey tomorrow...first drug on the list is Synarel. Feeling anxious and overwhelmed seeing all these different meds..open to suggestions and advice. Thanks in advance ☺️

Can anyone who has tried Mira please give me some advice on any experiences with this!
