So I'm loathed to turn this into one of those fertility/ mumsnet type threads, full of anxiety and abbreviations like DH (Dear Husband, AF (Aunt Flo) and BFP (Big Fat Positive)........(honestly, if you've never had to read one then it's quite the experience!).....BUT......


Anyone had IUI? Anyone been successful? Anyone tried IUI then moved to IVF? Anyone done so/ doing so without the support of a DH (oh no....I just slipped into fertility forum speak!!!). Any tips? What helped you cope with the hell? Anyone going through the hell currently?


Anyone?!

Hi! I?ve had IUI and was lucky enough to be successful first time. The plan had been to try three (I think) times and move to IVF if no success. We opted for IUI over IVF because the nature of our problems suggested IVF might not be necessary and IVF is more intrusive. This was all six and a half years ago and was done privately (at the time NHS didn?t offer IUI, not sure if that?s still the case, I?d imagine so?) so processes may have changed but feel free to hurl any questions at me and I?ll help if I can!


(And yes, had a supportive DH on board!)

    • Does anyone know what happened to the St Christopher's hospice tree guys who used to have a plot at the Plough? Have they moved somewhere else?  Or alternatively, does anyone know where I get a tree where some of the money goes to a charity.  Am aware that all the local schools have already had their fairs so that's not an option.  Thanks all
    • Malumbu, you're absolutely right. The vet bills due to attacks on neighbouring cats are certainly not insignificant at all. The wounds can even lead to fatalities. I always urge clients, neighbours & community posters to target the root cause, as opposed to skirting around the underlying & often persistent issue. Connecting with local organisations like Celia Hammond Animal Trust, Cats Protection or Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives is a longterm solution. This is heighlighted, although briefly, under Improving Community Wellbeing. - I'd also like to highlight that if ever unsure whether the culprit is intact, owned or feral, & are hesitant to report, just in case it's a neighbour's neutered cat, you can call upon a Scan Angel or our team at TWB to check for a microchip first. - If the culprit does happen to be a neighbour's neutered cat, there are a variety of solution; both immediate & longterm that I would be more than happy to help with. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]
    • Also wanted to leave my recommendation for Lukasz. He came completely on time, was highly efficient, did everything we asked and more without charging extra and left the place immaculate. A real gem - we will definitely use him again! 
    • Not sure if you added Tomd that have not been neutered terrorising other cats in the area.  Happened round here.  Would have been tempted to castrate the tom if I'd caught it.  Water pistol was not a deterrent.  Vets bills due to various attacks on other moggies was not insignificant
