Hi

I am selling two IVF books:

Zita West's Guide to Fertility and Assisted Conception (2010 edition) - £10 plus p&p (£15.99 new)

Kate Brian - The Complete Guide to IVF (2009 print) - £7 plus p&p (£12.99 new) or £15 for both.

Both books I found to be a brilliant resource to guide me through the ...

Hi Ladies

I hope you don't mind me joining your group. I had an unsuccessful first round of IVF in September (I suffer from premature ovarian failure and DH has some low counts).

We discovered at Christmas that I am pregnant - naturally! Cannot believe it. My cycles have been a bit messed up since ...

My husband and I underwent our first cycle of ICSI in September and sadly it ended in a BFN. We saw our consultant again at the end of November and he told gave us just a 10-15% chance of IVF working for us (reduced from 40-50% chance before they started the first cycle).

My cycles have been a bit ...

Hey ladies - you may recall that my September cycle failed.

We went back to the clinic at the start of December to see where we go from here. The doctor gave us just 10-15% of IVF working for us on another cycle (reduced from 40-50% chance we were given for our first cycle). We have been pretty ...

I've seen a few posts recently from ladies on antagonist cycles who have added femara with the antagonist. Can anyone tell me why and what the benefit of this is?

I was also on an antagonist cycle - 225 menopur from day 2 and then cetrotide from day 6.

My next cycle would be another antagonist cycle but switching from menopur to Gonal-F at 450. I have read somewhere that menopur includes some LH which can convert to testosterone which is bad to have where ...

thanks for the quick response .

Hi

My RE has recommended moving from Menopur to Gonal F for my 2nd cycle at a dose of 450.

Just trying to price it up - does anyone know how many doses of 450 the 450 multi-dose pens hold? Can't seem to find out online!

Thanks

Hi

My husband and I had our first failed cycle in September. We are still trying to decide whether or not to give it another go because the advice on DOR patients all seems to be so contradictory. Our clinic had us on an antagonist protocol (no suppressing) but I recently read that the low LH ...

Hi

I had an unsuccessful cycle in September. Since then, my AF has been appearing every 3 weeks :-( and am also experiencing crippling stabbing pains (they're not constant, just a couple of times a day but literally double over in pain and cannot breathe for a few seconds until the pain goes) in ...

As people say it only takes 1 good embryo to get you pregnant so stay positive.

If it doesn't work out for you definitely look into what drugs regime might optimise things for you.

I also have DOR and have found a lot of conflicting information on the best cycle for it. I had an unsuccessful cycle ...

Hi

You could try asking your consultant to do an AMH test (anti-mullerian hormone) which will give a better idea of the egg reserve. I am 29 and have been diagnosed with likely to go through premature menopause. The FSH results are less reliable than AMH. The AMH test can be done at any time of the ...

Hi

I have just failed by first cycle too so thanks for this post - saved me asking the same things! I would never have thought to mention to the RE about how I felt during the cycle (which was mainly ill!).

It is a shame clinics use the first cycle as a tester to see how people respond. I only get ...

Congrats Jerseytouchdown. A grade A blast sounds brilliant. Sticky thoughts on their way to you!

We called the clinic to ask for an appointment in November to discuss trying again and having explained to the receptionist we would be paying private for the next cycle she suddenly transformed from a ...

Hey Girls

It was a BFN for us on Wednesday. I was surprisingly calm when I found out.

We've taken a few days to gather our thoughts. Emma we were also told they don't know why it didn't work too. Just we weren't one of the lucky ones I guess. We can go back to clinic to talk through the cycle with ...
