My husband is talking about having another baby. We already have a 5 year old. As much as I am excited, I'm worried about how my body will react after removing my IUD, and how long would it take for me to conceive. Has anyone had an iud removal

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been through IVF to have a second child following successful IVF for first child? We are so fortunate it worked the first time (third transfer) but have no frozen embryos left, how did people find it the second time if you’ve gone down this route? The process, pregnancy and every...

Hello! Has anyone had theirs and can share any experiences / side effects.

Hi guys, I know this is probably a hard one to give a blanket answer to but typically how long does IVF take when you go private? Starting from the consultation? Also, if anyone has any input on how long funding takes (roughly) from the point in which your partner is diagnosed with MFI I’d be so grateful. ❤️

Does anyone have any experience with breeding? We have a soon to be 4 year old American Akita and my partner wants to start breeding him. I don’t know much about it but he said he’s struggling to find a breeder. Our dog is also starting to ‘leak’ if you know what I mean 😬 any suggestions on what we can do?

hi all. i’m just hoping to hear insights from anyone who went through a first round of ivf which failed but then went on to have a successful second round. i’ve just come out of a disastrous first round (poor response to stims, only one embryo, transferred at day 3, didn’t stick). i’m about to embark on round 2 and ...

Is anyone in the same boat of starting trying for number 2 (naturally) for a while when your first was an IVF baby? I’m finding it harder than I expected this month and don’t feel like I can really talk to anyone about it other than my husband. Would be good to connect with someone in a similar situation.

We’ve just been approved for NHS funding for 1 round of IVF and are waiting for news from Nurse Planning Team about when we can get started. I had bad cramps 2 days ago but no period yet so thought I would test on the off chance. I am around 12dpo and this was not from first wee of the day. Am I seeing something tha...

Anyone done IvF and on cyclogest pessaries? I’ve been told to stop them at end of week 8 (in a couple of days) but everywhere I read says longer. I asked my doctor to confirm and she just keeps saying end of week 8 but it feels too soon. Anyone else had this? X

Hey ladies, I'm looking into my 4th round of IVF/ ICSI. I was wondering whether anyone had treatment abroad and what your experiences were? I'm 39 and with super low AMH. I'm weighing up whether I should look into having treatment abroad or stick to a clinic in the UK.

Wondering if anyone has any experience or has considered using IUI or IVF treatments as a single mum to have another child?

Hi, it seems like a recurrent theme in all my cycles that my embryos grow slowly, they take up to day 6 to reach blastocyst. Has anyone had any success stories or are taking any supplements to improve egg quality

I’m trying to not overthink things but it’s quite hard. We will be starting our first round of IVF soon and all I can think is what I’m scared of - I’m scared I’ll produce no eggs - I’m scared I’ll produce too many eggs and not be allowed a fresh transfer - I’m scared no eggs will fertilise - I’m scared no eggs wi...
