Contemplating 5th and final go at IVF. First go was successful and have a boy of six and a half. second go produced a positive pregnancy test,but I the bleed and went on to lose it,second and third go was done at the same clinic.Also on the second and third go I developed OHSS.Third attempt did not work at all.Fourth go we went to another clinic and did egg-share this did not work either. We are contemplating going back to the first clinic we went to,but the egg-share clinic suggested asssisted hatching,so am trying to find information on the pros and cons of hatching. Also read with interest the marilyn Grenville,I will be investing in some of those,as well as linseed and vitamin C,as well as the folic acid I will be rattling,but I will try anything as this is our final go.Anyone else go any information that we could try I would be most grateful.

Marteen,if you try and contact lorraine she sent me brilliant information about assisted hatching!I don't know when we will be starting our final go(How many times have you attempted ?)we are waiting for an information pack from the first clinic we went to and we will take it from there,and see what the consultation brings.I will let you know when we start.GOOD LUCK for your cycle and let me know how you get on!

Hi Jane Congrats on your first attempt,hope it works again for you. Just failed our first IVF got 6 frozen which we are hoping to start FET Sept/Oct,don't know many people who have tried FET and thats its worked! I ordered the Marilyn Granville yesterday and they have come this morning,they are £22.50 for 1 months supply if your orders over £45 then its free delivery. I also went into Holland and Barrett and got some Flaxseed oil (linseed oil) which was about £6.99 and Vit c which I just got from asda and they were only £1.98. I'm hoping they help,don't know if to start them straight away or to start Aug then I'd have had 2 months on them before starting FET,I've only ordered 2 months of Marilyn,but I could order some more. Sorry about rambling on...... Good luck Love Gem xx
