Has anyone gotten pregnant on the mirena iud ??

I’ve been considering getting a copper IUD. I’m 6 months PP and EBF. I haven’t gotten a period yet, so I’m wondering if I should wait to get the IUD?

I’ve decided to try and start a family on my own at 35 after a long relationship ended. Has anyone been through IUI in the UK?

When I had my first pregnancy scan they found Fibroids.

I just wanted to know if there’s any Mums that has dealt with fibroids and also whether they got them remove...

I’m feeling so discouraged. I am 9 days past IUI and it is still negative. Anyone have any success storied after 9 days past their IUI?

It’s my first time doing IVF so a little clueless. I had a fresh transfer on 3 July of a 5 day embryo, then had bloods taken on 9, 10 and 11 July (so 6dp5dt, 7dp5dt and 8dp5dt) which I know is early but it was because I was going away on a trip and wouldn’t be able to do bloods later. They came back as hcg= 4, then...

Hello! I just thought to introduce myself as I am new here. I am 5+2 (first pregnancy). I have been going through IVF treatment for a year now so I could not believe my eyes when I finally saw my positive. I am due end of March 2025. I would be happy to share this journey with you ladies 💖

Hey everyone! I just found out I have a hydrosalpinx and need to get one of my fallopian tubes removed and a polyp in my uterus removed as well. I did IUI with my first baby boy and now going forward with this diagnosis I was told IVF is the best route. Has anyone had a similar diagnosis? I have been a mess all day.

Absolute devastation is an understatement. Would anyone know why this would be? Could it be lifestyle related? Diet? How can I prevent it from happening again? Will it happen again? I’m only 28 years old so I didn’t think this would happen. This was also my first retrieval as well. And just a side note when we were...
