Experiences with

Intrauterine insemination (IUI)

So we decided that my partner try first - she was trying via artificial insemination at home, using a sperm donor. We tried for about a year and half and then stopped for a while due to it being quite an emotional rollercoaster, so put it to the back of our minds for another year.

I recently took a blood test, suggested by a acupuncturist, and it has come back as being positive for high levels of Thyroglobulin antibodies. Obviously ive disappeared down the rabbit hole that is internet searching and now panicking that this is the reason ive had to BFN's from recent IUI treatments

At what point do you consider changing clinics? I've been with mine since 2020 - I was lucky to have my son via IUI using a sperm donor. 2.5 years on I've been trying for a sibling. 3 IUIs and 2 ICSI rounds later no luck. I've paid for my next two rounds via Access Fertility but I'm having doubts about

It’s hard to reconcile that this may be the end. The facts, I’m 42 with low amh (3.0 when tested over a year ago). Partner had cancer so sperm was frozen 20+ years ago meaning fertility help was our only route. Tried 3x IUI and 2x IVF. Due to age this is all self funded. First round I got only 1 egg

Hi all, A short update after waiting for TSH to go below 2.5 and changing the clinic - I was told that due to a small number of follicles (2-3 in total) and low AMH, I am not qualified for IVF. I am sure there is someone out there with a similar case. The other clinic I had was also private but changed

Looking for hope when it’s thin on the ground. It’s now been over 2.5 years of trying for a sibling every month, I am 43 with low reserve. My husbands sperm analysis is off the charts good, his DNA frag result is borderline high but at our recent urologist appointment we were told the SA results trip

Hi everyone Just a message to all you who are losing hope. My husband and I started out fertility journey around covid ! We tried IUI first which was unsuccessful and this was our last frozen embryo. I am still shocked but I cannot believe I have a positive result . My protocol wasn’t changed in

Hello everyone!!!My friend has undergone iui procedure on 13th day with 2 dominant follicles. She started to bleed after 2 days of the procedure.

Hello everyone I am 35 years old (turning 36 next month). My husband and I have been trying naturally for 8 months. We tried IUI in July and this month but it didn't work. My AMH is low (3 pmol/L) and latest FSH is 8 (though it was 23 three months ago in June, apparently it is normal for FSH to fluctuate

Hello everyone Hope you are all as well as you can be . I think I just need a space to talk where people understand and offer valuable advice.

Hi Everyone , recently I had a FET and I took a pregnancy test today and it was negative and this is my first IVF cycle and last year I had excision surgery for endometriosis and I'm on Dienogest for 7months and came to India for FET and it failed and I'm afraid to go for another round of IVF because

So after I initially tried first with the AI at home method, for approx 8 months, we then decided that my partner should try - she was also trying via artificial insemination at home too, using a sperm donor.

First cycle on clomid and gave it a really good try this time…going on 3 years of trying “naturally”.. Husband and i both have been eating very clean for 3 months and on Zita West vitamins. Due to get my period today…. and tested negative. Does anyone else feel silly or disappointed in yourself

Dear Fertility Warriors, I hope you’re all doing well! I’m reaching out to seek your experiences with the London Egg Bank. For a bit of background, my partner and I have been with CRGH for a few years now and have been on their donor list for over a year. We haven’t been very proactive in exploring

Hello everyone, While I am waiting for the first IVF appointment, I cannot stop thinking, that I never checked tubes before IUI, and that could be also a reason for failures. I wonder if anyone who has gone through IUI did a tube checking before a procedure? I am horrified on reading how painful

My husband and I have been TTC for two and a half years. We already have a little boy , which I am very thankful for . We are both 42 and I think it's just a case of my age and low egg count. We had all the meds for IVF but unfortunately they didn't make any difference so we went for iui instead . This

Hello and thank you for this forum, which I just found exist. We tried naturally for over a year, but was not aware my only 1 follicle produced monthly never grew to more than 8-10 mm and so I assume have not had the ovulation (based on ultrasound tracking of a few last months). Beginning of May was
