Hello to one and all I am new to this forum it was recommended to me by a friend so just thought I would say hello.

I am 40 and my Fiance is 50, we have been ttc for nearly 10 years now and have been on the IVF/Fertility roller coaster for about 7 years, 1 NHS cycle and 4 private 1st cycle failed then 4 pregnancies which sadly all ended in miscarriage, we have 1 frozen embryo left we are hoping to try again in the next few months.

It would be nice to maybe chat to others going through the same thing.

Thank you my lovely x

Welcome! None of us really want to be in this boat but since we are, it’s nice to feel less alone so you’re in the right place!

Your journey sounds as though it has been really difficult. Have you been given any idea of what could have caused your miscarriages?

Good luck for your next cycle. X

Hiya Lizzielizzielizzie and thank you.

We were told after our 2nd miscarriage that I might have a blood clotting condition so had some more blood tests done which came back positive so thought we were all sorted so started on blood thinners yet miscarried our 3rd and 4th time so they don’t really know now, we are just waiting to hear back from some specialist before we try again. xxx

Hiya hun we have had 5 cycles of IVF so I should be a pro by now lol but I flap over everything every time 😊 My fiancé comes to every appointment with me because its a lot to take in and I always feel like I’m going to forget something, don’t be afraid to ask them to repeat what they have told you and always have your plan to hand if you’re unsure of anything double check with your fertility doctor as you don’t want to miss anything, I know you probably know all this but its the best advice I can give you oh and just try and relax xxx
