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!)

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Strange reply post. Cry babies are unfit for political purpose, and should be nowhere near a Government position, especially in today's global environment!

      The wheels do seem to be falling off for this government very quickly and my worry is that the far-left of Labour will be licking their chops and will try to force a leadership change and all that will do is pave the way for Reform (always interesting at these times to see who is not putting themselves forward and happy to slip into the shadows from the cabinet). Scary ,scary times. Starmer has got to get a grip but his leadership and cabinet are being undermined every single day. One year in - what a mess - didn't Starmer tell us they had been preparing for 14 years for this - clearly they needed more time?

      Pathetic because ..... why? She's not thick skinned enough for your requirements? You have no idea what's going on for other people, personally or professionally, in the public eye or otherwise. Strange first post.
