I feel completely broken emotionally. I'm recovering from laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. My consultant found endometriosis and removed it but he says it wasn't the likely cause of infertility and also confirmed I have low AMH. He recommends IVF as the next step and has indicated that due to low AMH time is of the es...

I’m 36 and we have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive for 6 years. This year we finally decided to take the plunge on IVF and are currently undergoing our government funded IFV cycle. Luckily we had 12 embryos reach blastocyst on day 5 at a mixture of 3&4 aa ratings. My husband thinks we don’t need to do the ...

Anyone with IUD not feeling any sex desire ?? Its my first time with one and ever since that I don’t have any desire. Wondering if it’s because of that

Would prenatal or fertility pills be good for trying to conceive after 2 years of husband being sniped? He went behind my back but now regrets it

Hello, I am confused about this, my doctor said that ICSI is fine to do but I have read that you can damage the egg or the embryo can have some issues. If anyone has any experience or knowledge regarding ICSI to share, I’d be so grateful. 🙏🏻 Thanks in advance!

I've gained so much weight on this ivf journey my stomach looks like I'm already 3 months pregnant. I'm praying that all goes well this time around because I don't think I'll be able to do another one considering my insurance only covers for one cycle . At work I have to hide to take little naps cause I'm so tired I...

Has anyone been through IVF, specifically in WA state? How much does it cost? How does it work? My husband and I have been trying for 2yrs, and I have had at least 2 miscarriages, possibly 3. Any and all advice is welcome, thank you in advance!!

Hello! We're now 3 years TTC and 1 IVF cycle done with zero results. We've been classed as unexplained, which makes it all the more frustrating! Anyone in a similar situation who managed to get pregnant naturally eventually? Or did they find out what the problem was while doing IVF? I don't know if I should give up ...

Hoping for some advice. We have had six unsuccessful rounds of IVF in the UK using mine and my husband’s own eggs and sperm. We then decided to go to the Czech Republic to try embryo donation. I got pregnant for the very first time with a genetically tested embryo but unfortunately, it ended in miscarriage. The ...

Has anyone used pre-seed per the instructions and it helped them get pregnant? I’ve been very dry down there since my MC in April and I’m worried that we aren’t getting pregnant since I don’t have a lot of CM. We used a little pre-seed the other day but didn’t use the applicator. Curious to hear what worked for o...

Anyone had their last/final IVF cycle to have a second baby and failed? I’m mentally preparing myself. 😔 How do you feel about just only having 1 child not by choice? Any plans to adopt?

Is it one or the other or do they do separate things ? Sorry if a silly question, just not sure whether to give both or one of the two, and if so which one is best?

I recently started IVF and went through one cycle of stims, will go for FET next month. I was a regular at strength training and HIIT but doc advised to keep it easy during stims. Now, I have had my period and ovaries are still swollen but I have a significant weight gain still. I know I should not bother about th...

I’ve had two IVF cycles, first 3 healthy embryos all failed. Found out I have hidden endometriosis and PCOS. Second retrieval I had 1 embryo and it was not healthy. Insurance coverage for 1 last retrieval. Thinking about switching to try IUI once or twice before going to my last retrieval. Any advice or success stor...

It looks like we might be starting a second round of IVF for baby no 2 soon. We had our little boy via IVF in Dec 22 and he was our only embryo. For the next cycle, the consultant has recommended a higher dose of gonal f instead of menopur. I also have a low amh of 4.7 for my age (33) and my AFC was 5 at the last sc...

Has anyone heard of this/had it considered or used in IVF with ICSI? I've had three rounds of IVF and each time although they collect eggs, sperm parameters aren't terrible, they don't seem to make it through fertilisation. Or when they have the quality of the one and only embryo has been shit.

Hi all, I’m in the process of planing a FET and the Clinique sent me the protocole and it looks like I’ll have to take again lots of hormones and injections… I really was hoping to only have a trigger shot and progesterone post trigger…. Can you kindly share your FET protocols and outcomes?

Hi all, We are about to embark on our 2nd round of IVF after one failed fresh and one failed FET transfer. I’m want to get process started again, but did anyone else just absolutely dread it before the start? We’ve changed our protocol so will be injecting for longer this time and I am just so anxious about it all ...

I’m 8 weeks postpartum and I haven’t completed my injections. I just find it painful after wards and really hate injecting myself🤦🏻‍♀️ did everyone complete theirs in the first 10 days? Is it too late for me to continue? I feel so terrible

Hi ladies! I just wanted to share our success story that derived from extreme male factor infertility. My husband had 1% morphology, 0% motility (yes that's right, no moving sperm) AND low sperm count. We weren't sure if we could ever have kids. Well one IVF cycle and our first FET and I am currently 17 weeks pregna...
