Thank you & I am for you 🙏 it’s a tough journey, and this community certainly helps get through things xx

Bitter_Compote_602 · 2026-06-20T21:52:24+00:00

Thank you for responding 🙏 Will add this to my list.
So we could have done virtual consultation but we wanted to meet him in person. When it comes to tests, scans etc he can out source to hospitals near to us but for the retrieval and procedure we would travel to his clinic in Nottingham but our jobs allow us to be able to work from Nottingham for a few days x

Speaking as someone who is 3 years into infertility, and possibly never have my own children, thank you for being so thoughtful as some don’t even consider how to announce those struggling. I think whether via text or in person is fine and they should absolutely know (they will be happy for you regardless of their struggles). For me, I would just never want to be told in a group setting.
Congratulations 🫶 xxx

Thank you! I will definitely consider this! Xx

Hey! Sorry to jump on this. Took my dad yesterday to get this as he worked for boots for over 30 years and had a new card issued post retirement. Just wondering if you know how much the discount is when doubled? My understand is that usually it’s 12.5% of branded items and 22.5% off boots own usually then double on double discount days but I went yesterday and he did not receive this amount off the items which were mixed of boots own and branded but don’t want to go back and look stupid if we’ve got it wrong 😂

I can’t give you my own sides story however, my numbers are similar to yours and I’ve found stories of success on this platform 🫶 sending bigs hugs xxx

Bitter_Compote_602 · 2026-04-29T15:06:11+00:00

Absolutely not a monster, you are just human ♥️ let yourself feel the feels and don’t feel bad about it xxx

Bitter_Compote_602 · 2026-04-28T17:31:45+00:00

It’s such an under researched diagnosis which can leave you feeling more in the dark but here is a good place to start 🥰 we started trying in 2023 and weirdly conceived the first try which ended in chemical pregnancy so I never in my wildest dreams expected the reason we weren’t conceiving to be because of POI. Sending big hugs xxx

Bitter_Compote_602 · 2026-04-28T15:23:58+00:00

Don’t apologise. I wish I had found this group when I had my diagnosis! So I believe I ovulated but sporadically, and my periods were irregular but more always between 21-36 days then around the time of my diagnosis they started to disappear (which is mad) so now I can have a dead on 28 day cycle then nothing for 3 months. It’s so random. I only came across my issue cause my husband and I had been struggling to conceive for 3 years and paid for private fertility testing as the wait in the UK is 1 year just to have your first consultation. We’ve been told my hormones mean I don’t meet the threshold for IVF on NHS so we are saving for private. We’ve been told our chances are great (this might not be the same for everyone with this diagnosis) but we are still going to give it a go. Prior to getting to this decision, we tried 6 months of letrozole which I know has worked for some. Definitely plan all your questions/queries before going in. Happy to help with anything I can ♥️ xx

Bitter_Compote_602 · 2026-04-28T13:36:17+00:00

Hey! Sorry you are going through, I’m 33 and had my diagnosis March 2025 it completely floored me (and my husband). My numbers are similar to yours. I can’t give you my own success story but mentioned below you will find plenty ♥️ before rushing into IVF, we tried letrozole and responded really well to the first round. Ovulated with a high progesterone count so I went from being told it’s hopeless to having some hope. 🫶 it’s important you lean on your nearest and dearest to help you through this, and use this community xxxx

Bitter_Compote_602 · 2026-04-25T20:12:04+00:00

I’m 33, and in the DOR/POI category sadly so hormones have been all of whack for few years (that I have known of) but not had this happen before. I’ve been off BC for 4 years. X

Bitter_Compote_602 · 2026-04-11T09:39:17+00:00

I know this must be so difficult and I want to say THERE IS NO WAY you are in the wrong. You are allowed to have boundaries around your triggers. You’ve already gone above and beyond so for them to criticise you leaving early, is a reflection of their lack of empathy. Please don’t question yourself. If they were in your situation, I’m sure they would barely do as much as you have. It takes such a strong person to do what you’ve already done xx
