Female infertility

For those who’ve tested positive for Antiphospholipid antibodies (I’ve had two samples 12 weeks apart with raised IgM cardiolipin), what dose of clexane/inhixa/enoxaparin were you prescribed? My new clinic seem to be keen on 20mg but my old clinic only used 20mg when it was empirical (best guess) treatment

hi everyone, I recently got my AMH tested and it’s very low which has been a shock to me as it dropped badly to 0.26. I have read a lot about DHEA but my clinic is not in favour of this and insists on donor eggs but I feel I want to give one last shot. Does anyone know when to test DHEA and total

I'm taking Coq10 in the lead up to my 2nd IVF egg retrieval in the hope of improving egg quality (along with diet changes).

Hi everyone, The arrival of another period has sent me into another frenzy of Googling and questioning absolutely everything I'm doing. My period was a couple of days late and stupidly allowed myself to hope that it had finally happened 😞 So this mornings panic is - am I doing too much exercise,

I have just realised my Coq10 I’ve been taking for three months is ubiquinone form. I just thought I was taking ubiquinol 😫 Been doing 300mg twice a day. I’m worried I’ve missed a trick now. I’ve ordered some ubiquinol now but I’m starting downreg in about three weeks. Thoughts please lovely people

hi all, Am reading a lot in other forums about red light therapy for male & female partners in infertility, to help cellular regeneration. I knew it was supposed to be good in a led face mask but is it going to help my old ovaries too? ;)

hello, so I feel like a fish out of water. Me and my husband have been trying to conceive for coming up to 3 years this February 25. We have had no luck not even a “maybe”. Last year we went for fertility testing privately as the gp really didn’t seem to care and said come back in 5 months once I’

Hello, I’ve had strange unexplained bruising all over my legs so got a variety of blood tests through my docs. Only thing that has come back is what I believe to be under active thyroid. Is unexplained bruising a common symptom? I should add that in 6 months post partum. I had thyroid tested pre

I started my fifth cycle last week and yesterday my doctor told me that ovaries did not respond. This was the first time it happened to me. I took Genatropin 0.5, Gonal f 225, Letrozol 2x1 and Femara 1 tablet per day. On my previous cycles medications worked really well. I don't know what happened I
