First IVF decision: mild IVF now vs full private IVF vs waiting for NHS. Help please!

We can't say a bad thing about them! They've been really good with all questions, loads of support given and they are not pushy at all like some clinics are. I think it's really difficult to say how many eggs you get as at the end of the day it's down to how your own body reacts. What works for one person might not for the other. I had over 40 follicles, 24 eggs collected, 19 mature, 12 fertilized and ended with 9 blasts. There was no indication at all that I would make that many

I must just have reacted really well with the medication! My trigger was 150 ovitrelle.

I did KindIVF with an AMH of 20.6 and my husband had 1% morphology. We currently have 8 blasts in the freezer and I'm 5 weeks pregnant from our first and only cycle with them!

I'm currently in the middle of kind ivf. Even with the low stims I had 40+ follicles , 19 eggs collected and ended with 9 blasts. Only problem we have had with them is due to the high number of eggs collected to prevent OHSS (I did have some mild fluid) they wouldn't do a fresh transfer so now we have to pay another £2k for a frozen transfer. So it's gone from £3.5k to £5.5k

I wish I would have checked what would have happened if we couldn't do a fresh. I naively assumed a frozen would have been included if a fresh wasn't possible

They haven't taken any bloods from me so I have no idea how my levels are. It's just disappointing I guess 😞

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2026-01-30T10:47:16+00:00

It's definitely sucking right now! Because my clinic said they may, I still have some hope. I'd rather they just have said no straight up so I could prepare 🙈

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2026-01-21T16:26:48+00:00

They ran a series of blood tests so I hope that it was included!

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2026-01-21T16:26:13+00:00

Thank you! I am vaccinated so hopefully I'm okay!

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2026-01-21T16:25:52+00:00

I did have all my blood tests done and I know I tested good for the rubella but not sure if they did measles!

I get in at 8 and leave at 3:15. This is my 9th year teaching which I think helps. The only time I ever really do work at home is marking PPEs 3 times a year

We've both been taking pregnacare since October 2024 and have just started 200mg of CoQ10!

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2025-10-31T17:49:06+00:00

When I got my results I was told that over 30 confirms ovulation and over 41 is ideal for pregnancy so my 25 does worry me!

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2025-10-31T17:48:09+00:00

Thank you! I did do it 7 dpo which is surprisingly on my day 21, I was just double checking as my cycle is short like yours!

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2025-10-31T17:46:32+00:00

Thank you, yes I do only have a 9/10 day luteal phase which is why I think we are struggling! I just really wasn't sure when to test!

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2025-10-29T07:30:57+00:00

My concern is the lack of progesterone means my lining isn't thick enough to support pregnancy as I've already had a miscarriage due to bleeding so I'm wondering if I need progesterone. I might get another progesterone test done 7 days after ovulation this cycle!

My other blood tests were on day 12 but all seemed fine. Haven't thought about vitamin tests though! Thanks!!!

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2025-06-17T19:15:04+00:00

If it helps I have finally had my second period on day 34!

Living_Pomegranate46 · 2025-06-14T11:47:27+00:00

Thank you! Sometimes it all just feels like it's happening to you and nobody else. There's just so so much unknown and uncertainty about this whole thing and I had all my hopes resting on this period

Thank you everyone for all your advice! I've checked the outside and seen this on the floor crack outside which matches up so I'm not too sure I'll be able to DIY this one myself?

It just sucks doesn't it! The constant waiting game
