Fertility Telephone Consultation UK help

Hi ladies, I finally have my initial telephone consultation with a fertility clinic after being referred by my doctor they have said to make sure my partner is also available for the telephone consultation. Does anyone know it I am allowed to do this by myself for any reason he can’t get it off work or must he join or they will re/schedule? Mindful it’s only a call and don’t want him to have a whole day off! His semen sample was all good from the doctor as were all my tests so far. Anyone’s experience with fertility consultations and appointments would be great thank you! Xxx

Line eyes or early faint?

Looking for some help first month on menopur and ovidrel so confused. So I had my Ovidrel injection 14 days today, I am roughly 10 DPO. I tested two days ago and it was a solid negative (same test) but today I see a very very very faint line, it is very light blue in colour and came up in right time, but could this still be my ovidrel? I’ve put photo in comments but it’s not the best photo. Any advice would be great! X

Has anyone had an ultrasound scan for fertility?

Hi girls,Having fertility tests at the doctors blood tests all normal I’m worried about blocked tubes due to an ex boyfriend giving me chlamydia when I was younger. Doctors have referred me for an ultrasound. Has anyone had this? What does this check for and show? Thank you! X

Ultrasound can show many things, but for blocked tubes you would want an HSG preformed

BFP after trigger?

Hi ladies,Triggered with Ovidrel on 8/20 for my first time. With cheap tests, I tested stark white 9 days post trigger. Started seeing a line come up again this AM that’s still holding as of noon today. Also took a FRER to see how dark it would be to compare. Could this be the trigger or my BFP after infertility treatments? 🥺

Taken at noon 11 days post trigger. (Possibly 9-10DPO)

Period after egg retrieval

I had my first egg retrieval 7 days ago after using Lupron to trigger. I’m now bleeding and think it’s a period. Is it normal to have a period a week after? I wasn’t expecting it until next week which would’ve been 2 weeks post ER.

Retrieval results!!

We had our egg retrieval yesterday! Way easier than I expected. The whole process went smoothly. They retrieved 21 eggs, 16 of them matured and 10 fertilized! Praying the majority make it to day 5/6!! We are 30 and this was our first ivf cycle. We have ttc for 8 years and I have PCOS and DH has some morphology issues. My doctor did an AWESOME job at not hyperstimulating me. I’m so impressed and grateful we didn’t end up with 40+ eggs. Praying we get exactly the healthy amount of embryos we need to start and complete our family ❤️❤️

Triggering tonight!!!

I’m SO STOKED. Overall I’ve had a very pleasant experience in terms of side effects…but this last stretch has been pretty intense in terms of the headache and general discomfort. But ultimately it’ll all be worth it. It’s been 11 long days of shots and 6 straight days of driving almost 3 hours (each way) for ultrasound and labs.

AMH levels

So back in 2019 ( I was 26 y/o at the time) I had my AMH levels taken at my first fertility clinic, while going under diagnostic testing to find out why we weren’t conceiving. It was 0.93 I was told by that RE, that I have a diminished ovarian reserve.I recently started to see another RE at a different clinic, who also just checked my AMH levels. It was 3.00 On my saline sonogram he also found that I have a total of 19 follicles 😳 which he anticipated only 5-10 given the prior AMH results.I am kind of in shock, and very confused by the large increase (not mad at all by it 😉) I am just curious, what could cause this? I was not doing anything special to make it increase! Has anyone else experienced this?

This happened to me and I have been seeing a fertility doctor and have had no issues with my levels or anything else. She thinks that my left ovary isn’t functioning properly, I had four follicles for the past two months that never grew above a ten. But my right ovary is like super charged by this and I’ve had 15 or more follicles appear on it both months . Last month I had four mature and this month I had two mature . My fertility doctor says nothing is wrong with me and that if my ovary was failing I wouldn’t even have follicles . It’s as if my right ovary is just overly dominant. I also have a tilted cervix that goes to the left but all my test results are amazing and DH is also great ! I wouldn’t stress it at all ! As long as your ovulating you can conceive

New clinic

Is there anyone in the Sacramento CA area with a clinic recommendation? Currently with Kaiser but not happy with their “changes” in treatment since we had our son in 2019. Thank you!

So annoying!!

I’m supposed to be starting birth control any day now so I can do my 3 weeks and then start stims! My stupid period won’t start. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve had SUCH a regular period for the last couple of years…28 days on the spot…but now that I’m trying to do iVF, my cycle is like “nah, I’m feeling like 35 ish days instead “ 🤬 I’m not a patient person and it’s SO frustrating. 😩Also the anxiety of this all is just getting to me.

Letrozole question

Has anyone ever been able to ovulate, but still got put on letrozole? My cycles are regular, and I ovulate on time.. after a year of TTC, we did have luck but we lost our son at 18 weeks due to birth defects.. so they’re starting me on letrozole to help us convince baby number two. Does anyone have any stories to maybe give me some hope?

I ovulate and have a regular cycle but was unable to get pretty after a long time. I requested we start some kind of treatment. I did 2.5 mg of letrozole and got pregnant my first iui. Sadly had a early Mc at 6.5 weeks. I tried naturally the cycle after my MC and it was unsuccessful so this cycle we are doing letrozole and iui again. 🤞🧿🤍🌈✨Sending you sticky baby dust!

Fertility clinic

I’ve been referred to a fertility clinic nearly two weeks ago, I was wondering how long it took for the referral to go through? What should I expect to happen at my first appointment? Any information and help on this would be soo appreciated

J.

I would think it would go through right away. Maybe call to follow up. The first appointment is usually to go over your history, your plan, getting to know the Dr’s methods, etc... After that you’ll have appointments to do the preliminary testing to be able to come up with the proper course of action that works best for you.
