5Dpiui and no pregnancy symptoms. I think this time it didn't work. I don't know whether to keep trying IUI or wait to do IVF

I have an appointment to get a copper iud inserted. Has anyone gotten this? I have a pretty high pain tolerance but I keep seeing videos of women saying it’s super painful. Now I’m kind of nervous 😳

Anyone got pregnant quickly after stopping the depo shot?? How long? Or anyone got pregnant while using the depo???

Has anyone gotten an IUD? I want to get one because I feel as if my nexplanon is making me gain weight but I’m so scared that the insertion will hurt soooo bad. So if anyone has gotten one did it hurt for you?

Hey, I’m with a fertility clinic in Norfolk and under the NHS route - here we are entitled to four rounds of IVF. I had the first cycle in March, and got pregnant but sadly lost the baby at 12 weeks. Does anyone know whether I would still be on the NHS track (and able to go for round 2) or if I would be made to go o...

Hi! Has anyone heard that taking Mucinex during your fertile window increases the chances of getting pregnant? I’ve been reading a ton of success stories on this. Does anyone know if this is actually true or has worked for them?

Hi everyone, My partner and I have seen a private consultant as we have been trying for over 2 years now and I am 41. We had all our checks and both of us are in very good shape and should be able to conceive. Now the consultant has straight away suggested IVF however I know my tubes have not been checked for any b...

I'm preparing myself that our next FET won't work and we will have to look into paying for IVF. Just wondering how you've gone about paying for treatments, have you paid the clinic direct or have you gone through a ferility company like access fertility and paid for their programmes? Also if you've used hull and...

Is anyone going through another egg retrieval after having a baby? Did the medications have different side effects than your first time and what was the outcome of the procedure? I’m really nervous to start my IVF cycle!

has anyone here gotten pregnant while having the IUD? i haven’t taken a test because i’m probably not, but the last two weeks i’ve been waking up in the middle of the night to pee and last night for dinner we cooked pizza and i literally could not eat it. i only wanted chocolate cereal.

I want to try getting pregnant for the second time later this year. It took me a year last time and I was diagnosed during that time with PCOS. I was told last time I would normally have to wait a year before being referred but I was referred to the fertility clinic after only 5/6 months of trying because I had enou...

I’m due to start IVF within next 2 months, for anyone who’s been/going through it. Did you tell work? And did that help? I’m worried how I’d conceal it with all the appointments. Luckily I live about 15 mins from clinic but do need to go into an office a few times a week

Has anyone broken up/separated/divorced during IVF cycles? I have an embryo with my ex and now I’m looking into donor sperm for the round I was about to do. It’s stressful! Has anyone been in a similar situation? Also- any luck with specific sperm donor websites?

Took us years of IVF and other fertility treatments to get this little nugget so you can imagine my shock that I’m pregnant again 🙃 they say 2 under 2 is no joke but I’m excited for them to be the best of friends for life. We wanted more kids and for the gaps to be not too big (have an appointment at the fertility…

Ladies who have had 2 or more failed transfers.... Did you opt for any further tests? What did your clinic offer you? We've had our 4th transfer fail and have 1 embryo left (no PGT-A testing was done on any of our embryos)

My friend suggested this to me as she was struggling to conceive her 2nd. Fertility in the uk suggested she tried this whilst she waited for her testing appointment. She did in fact fall pregnant and took them for 2 months. Was just wondering if anyone had this too and did it work for them?☺️

Im thinking of trying contraception as I just had a 2nd baby and would want to protect myself for a while now until I am ready maybe for the third. However I only ever used condoms and fertility calendar. How do I start and decide on what type to choose and where do I get it done?

Has anyone had success with mild IVF after conventional IVF failed?

Wondering if anyone used self insemination to get pregnant and if it results in a healthy birth or miscarriage. I lost my baby 2 weeks ago and had tried self insemination using my partners sperm. Got pregnant first try, but ended in miscarriage. Wondering if anyone has any success stories with self insemination.

Just found out that I have a prolapse but was planning on trying for a second soon and I’m quite gutted about potentially having to put conceiving off for who knows how long while I heal. I understand the logic in waiting but want to know whether anyone has got pregnant with a prolapse and how did they find their pr...
