I have my appointment tomorrow to insert paragard iud and Im extremely scared. Can somebody tell me from your experience, how do you feel after? how many days does it take for you to start feeling normal and when were you comfortable to have sex?

It took us 4 years to have our son. With3 failed IVF and multiple failed rounds of provera/clomid. I’m 5 month postpartum and I got these today. Am I crazy or are they positive?

Hiya mums, for context I had a ruptured ectopic back in 2022, it was a horrible experience but I have since had a wonderful rainbow baby and am very blessed to have him. Id like to have another baby one day but not for a couple of years (if I can of course). My GP advised that I shouldn't have the coil as a contrac...

I had a strong positive at at 13dp5dt (IVF frozen embryos transfer) but this would have been my second pregnancy, I had no symptoms whereas with my son, the symptoms started at 6 weeks. I took a clear blue at 5 weeks 2 days, with my son I got 3+ whereas with this pregnancy I got 2-3 and I just knew something wasn’t...

**second update. Genetic testing results are in. We got 6 euploid embryos! We are over the moon! So happy. Honestly much better results than I was anticipating. After years of not good results, we are so glad to finally get some good results. ☺️🙌🏻 *update: we got 8 embryos. 6 were ready on day 5 and another 2 were…

Hello! Currently due my second baby in December and already thinking about contraception for once baby is here. Wanted to know how everyone’s experience was who has had a coil/ iud. I’ve been told it’s the only birth control which doesn’t change hormones however have heard some negative things as well so just wanted...

Hi all! This is my first let cycle and I had my mid cycle ultrasound yesterday. I had 1 mature follicle at 22mm, there were a few others they noted but those were 10-14mm.

Can anyone give me a rough guide cost on how much private fertility clinics cost for different types of treatments please? I know it can vary which is why I’m asking for a rough cost of the different types. Thanks in advance.

Completed blood work. They showed that I tested high for testosterone. Doctor believes that I have PCOS, but I have to do more testing. I'm really sad because I really really want to get pregnant. Anyone have any tips on how to get pregnant while having PCOS to someone who just found out? Thank you!!

My insurance notified me that if I were to need to do IUI or IVF it would not be covered at all under my insurance. Do I just have terrible insurance, or is there just not any insurance providers that provide any coverage for these? I think the stupidest part is that I have coverage to be diagnosed as infertile and...

Huge infertility struggles along with ivf attempt and 4 failed frozen embryo transfers. But natural cycle and 12dpo and faint positive pregnancy test, what do you think ladies?

Question for those in the US: do you know any grants or programs that help with the cost of ivf? My insurance will cover the medications but that’s it. The fertility clinic quoted us like $25,000 and we don’t have that kind of money so we just feel kind of down and stuck.

My 2mo hasn’t popped in over 48hrs and is getting more fussy. What do I do??

My clinician has just put through our referral for a fertility clinic. The clinic is meant to respond within 3 weeks, then it’s our first consultation directly with them 🙌 However today she discussed my AMH level with me - I’m very new to IVF so had no idea what this meant. I’m 28 (29 in sept) and my level is 5.7…

Hi! Starting my first ever ivf cycle and I’m very nervous. Today is cd 2 and tomorrow I go for my first baseline monitoring. They started me on estradiol and provera today until they advise me when to start meds. Any tips to help me prepare for egg retrieval? Is anyone else starting their ivf cycle as well?

I've been in such a good headspace and today the egg collection got eight follicles 👍🏼🤞🏼 but for the first time in months leading up to this I feel triggered and scared. This is my 3rd attempt. Who knows what will happen in the next five days, I have no control and it feels shit

Looking for people who have success stories with traditional Chinese medicine for fertility ❤️

Cycle day 1 started today. I go in on Thursday to make sure everything looks okay, then I start my medications for our first frozen embryo transfer. I get butterflies thinking about it. Anything I should know going into this?? Lots of praying and crossed fingers for everything to work out for us.
