    Infertility in the News

    Hiya, I come across infertility reports online in the news quite often so I just thought we could stick any that we find in a thread for everyone to look through - only recent stuff though :) Avocado-diet-triples-chance-success-couples-undergoing-IVF

    Gizzy?

    Do you know anything about taking probiotic supplements for digestive health? I have the worst constipation for most of the month and I read that it could mean I don't have enough bacteria in my gut. Is it ok for ttc and pregnancy? I've bought Probio 7 - I know you're into your health...

    Feeling Alone? Get the Tissues Out!

    I just found out about a video competition that they had in the US for a free cycle of IVF and there were 45 entries that you can find here: http://haveababy.com/uncategorized/i-believe-video-journal-entries/ There are all sorts of ttc'ers in there. The three winners of the competition...

    Closed - old IVF thread

    Hiya :) I was thinking that an IUI/IVF thread would be fun to keep all of us girlies in the same situation grouped together for maximum support like the PCOS one. Kind of see it as a communal diary to post anything at all - ttc, treatment, babies, family - whatever is going on with you...

    Half Way There

    I haven't made a post for a while because the ttc side of life is pretty uneventful when you physically can't conceive :oooo: BUT I am half way to the next cycle already :good: I suppose that counts as an update :eh: Yay me :lol:

    Are you ~5'2 and ~11st 6?

    Hiya ladies :) I'm trying to help myself to visualise pregnancy a bit more and so i was hoping that any of you with similar stats to me might be able to post some pics of you during pregnancy? I know it's a bit of an ask and i have looked through the pregnancy pic threads and tried google...

    I Had An Email

    The MOAT will be performed on 9th May and we'll have the results by the end of the week. ...by the end of the week we'll know if we will ever be able to have children together or not... The only way to describe how I feel, is that I feel sick. My stomach is in knots and my mouth is wet and...

    What does PCOS feel like?

    I'm just lying in bed and I'm cd 7 which is way too early for OV and I can feel an OV type burning twinge in my right ovary region. I havent been diagnosed with PCOS but these IVF cycles have unbalanced my cycles a little bit so I do wonder if they have caused some cysts or something. I...

    Anyone want some Femibion?

    Hiya :) I was put on these when I was told I might not be absorbing folic acid properly because they have metafolin in them which is a readily absorbed form, but they aren't as broad spectrum as I'd like my supplements to be so I've managed to find pure Metafolin which I'll just take in...

    I've pre-ordered me a new iPad!

    That's it really, i just wanted to tell someone lol What kind of apps would you recommend? Just for general life that you couldn't live without, not necessarily ttc ones :) Do they do IVF ones?! :shock: Give me a PC and i'm good, give me a gadget and i'm crap :whistle:

    Officially Bitter and Twisted

    Just a rant really about how bitter and twisted i think i am becoming... I watch a lot of YouTube IVF vids and everytime someone goes "OMG it's BFP!!!" in a video and everyone gets to comment - everyone else says things in capitals about how amazing it is for them to have finally done it and...

    Metformin girlies?

    Hey :) I'm sure some of you ladies have been on Metformin and i've read about so many people feeling sick that i'm worried i'm going to feel pukey until i stop taking them. I'm supposed to wean myself onto them which also worries me because it implies that some people are really sensitive to...

    You are not going to believe it...

    I am, apparently, an embryo killing machine. I got my protocol that is also taking into consideration my immune blood work and oh my god it's a lot of drugs. The worst thing is that i haven't actually seen a consultant to discuss my results and what they mean, i just have a long list of drugs...

    Anyone ever had a large clot?

    Hiya ladies :) I'm cd 3 today but on cd 1 i found a clot that was the size of my thumb nail and half as thick. I don't recall having a clot that big before and it had a weird pale sinewy line across it that was thicker the the middle than at the ends. The rest of it was really dark red and it...

    Honest Opinions Required - Is this too weird?

    Ok, so i've been thinking about something recently and i don't know if it's a bit weird. If we want to conceive, me and hubby might need to use donor sperm. Hubby doesn't have a brother and to use a cousin would remove half of the families genes. He does, however, have a sister. And, i do...

    Oxford journals - study results.

    I was just hitting the Oxford journals (as you do while looking for miracle infertility cures :whistle:) and i came across some articles that apply to some of your ladies so though i'd share. Apparently our uterus lining goes through a constant process called Angeogenisis which is where new...
