Hi there, Im about to have my last IVF and am trying stay positive but with a poor ovarian response we have 2 options, egg donation or adoption. Most of me feels adoption is the better route as you know that in the end you will have a positive result even if it takes a long time. We are keen to ...

I have been told I have poor ovarian response - having had a very energetic protocol of IVF - 3 injection a day of Fostimon, Menopur and Decapeptyl I only produced 5 follicles and none at all on right side - my dr says this was not at all a normal response and suspects I have prematuring aging as ...

what are your thoughts on daily aspirin and its effectiveness?

Thanks for the support and Im sure there are so many people out there i the same boat as us. Good look for 2007 to us all

Hi everyone
Im an "expat" living in Switzerland and as such am constantly surrounded by expats and find it difficult to meet locals by the very nature of the fact probably because I dont have children which makes it easier to meet people. All the expat wives are falling pregnant around me and ...

thanks for that - very helpful. also, just read that aspirin is no longer recommended for IVF as doesnt help - ironic as my dr "forgot" to give me this for my first IVF and has now put me on it for preparation for my 2nd attempt. Anyone have any further knowledge about aspirin and its benefits or ...

thanks for all these replies - it seems like I dont have to worry too much about not being shown anything on the monitor then and will just have to take his word for it that they are in there!

does anyone know the difference between Fostimon and Gonal F? I was given Fostimon during my first IVF whilst another lady going through the treatment at the same time as me was given Gonal F and she produced more follicles ... I plan to ask at my next meeting with the dr. but if anyone knows ...

Im about to start my 2nd IVF attempt so will ask my doctor when I see him but the first attempt I was not shown the monitor so that I could see the embryos when he transferred them back - I am having treatment in Switzerland and he told me that "they dont do that at the clinic". However I have heard ...

As some of you know I have my first main appointment with my IVF doctor next week - I have already had 3 unsuccessful IUIs with him so know him and trust him. However I know that its best to write down all questions so you dont forget to ask things. I have some already prepared but if anyone has a ...

thanks thats all really helpful - Im sure I will feel more informed as well once I have my appointment next week with the dr - I have already started the birth control pills so I guess it will be about 5 weeks from now until D day then!

Hi ladies
all the gym advice is really helpful but does anyone know anything about right at the start of the IVF treatment as no one seems to comment on this - people only comment on the 2 ww - what ever that is. I want to know if I can go when I start the treatment but I think Im going to just ...

Hi

Im about to start my first IVF treatment and cannot really find anything meaningful on the internet about whether or not I should go to the gym. My dr. says "carry on as normal" but dont do anything too strenuous but does this mean I can carry on doing normal gym routines such as tread mill ...

thanks - thats really helpful - I had my first acupuncture today and he says that the effects can last 2 to 3 days so he agreed with you rather than getting stressed about it and rushing back and forth, he would ône before and one after - he seems to be good and say my energy was low (? my ying or ...

Thanks Kim - that is really helpful. I am going to start and be positive! One problem I may have though is that my acupuncture dr. is not in the same town as my IVF doctor and I have heard that you should have the acupuncture within 30 minutes before and after the transfer - so did you have your ...
