Yaelle talks about seeking specialist advice, once ready to conceive due to both her and her husband being 40, and being told they would have a 7% chance of conceiving naturally. After this, they both had tests done and took the option of TTC for 3 months- they fell pregnant, which unfortunately ended in miscarriage. After seeking further advice, they decided to see a bulk billing fertility specialist and commenced IVF. Yaelle talks about multiple frozen embryo transfers before seeking a second opinion from another fertility specialist. This led to a different approach to treatment and revealing she had a thin lining.
Lucy talks about TTC after being on contraception (to help with period pain) and realizing her cycles were irregular. Her and her husband tried to conceive for 12 months before seeing a GP for some further testing, soon after their IVF journey began.
Lucy talks about her first IVF cycle and receiving disappointing results, having a laparoscopy and being diagnosed with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis. Lucy also decided to change fertility specialists. Her second IVF cycle led to some very surprising results!
Thank you, Lucy and Yaelle, for sharing your stories.

Taleeha PCOS OI IVF

Taleeha retells her IVF tale. After trying to fall pregnant naturally for a year with no success, they sought help from a specialist, where she was diagnosed with PCOS. Taleeha experienced irregular periods and found it hard to track her ovulation. The first recommendation was to try OI which they did for many months with no success. It was time to see a fertility specialist, and further investigations were undertaken, which still gave no other reason for infertility. IVF was the next step. Taleehas story is a perfect example of 'it only takes one' as they fell pregnant on their first IVF cycle.

Jade talks to me all the way from the other side of the world. Many LOL and WTF moments in this one! Jade hilariously retells her IVF journey and the inspiration behind her memoir The good news is... you don't have Endometriosis.
Seeking help from multiple specialists, Jade had success with IVF and now has a beautiful 2 month old girl. Oh and she does actually have Endometriosis (another example of how important it is to advocate for yourself)
You can purchase her book on Amazon and Kindle.
