Implantation Tips
Looking for some implantation advice. I got my BFN on the weekend after a positive feeling TWW and a fresh 4ab transfer. I have three Frosties from this round graded 4ab, 4bb and 4bc. I managed to improve my egg quality from a previous unsuccessful round (only 2 3bb blasts transferred both but BFN) last

My drs reduced my levo and now I'm having a mare.
So I've been suffering with swelling and pins and needles recently and my dr has said it must be my thyroid He's reduced levo from 100mcg to 75mcg. My t4 has gone from 13 to 11. The edema is worse now.. However my testerone has gone from normal 0.8... range 0.3-1.9 to 2.5!!! Does anyone know why

My son will be 48 this year and that’
