May I suggest you go down another route lovely? As a person who has suffered from mental illness for years, the IVF journey will almost definitely effect you terribly. The waiting, the failures and miscarriage is heartbreaking. Don’t put yourself through it my love. I’ve almost cracked this time. We’ve decided on adoption, it’s so rewarding and you definitely get an end result which is guaranteed to be a happy one. Listen to some of these ladies on here, it’s not an easy ride. If you a vulnerable to having a breakdown, don’t risk it sweetheart xxx

Hi. Please have a chat with your psychiatrist about planning a pregnancy and taking your medication. They may suggest another medication but you will also need extra support during the process. When you go to the clinic there are various forms to sign and one includes about mental health medication and conditions- they will want a report from your psychiatrist before you start treatment. It all really depends why you take quetiapine. Xx
