    what N2l said.... if they are doing IVF then the FS should know the health status of both of them.... each cycle failing sucks and all you can do is pick yourself up and try again..... maybe she would like to join BB? that's been the best support I have found, and maybe she could ask all the questions she asks....

    I wish I knew what else I could do too... after 5 failures (and many of the girls have MANY more than me...) it just stabs your heart every time....

    Thanks N2L and myturn. I guess I'm looking for advice on if there is anything else that will help her DH swimmers. I know Zinc is good, no heat, no booze.......

    It's strange because she mentioned that the FS can't be completely sure, but most likely it's the cancer treatments. I thought they would have been able to tell her more I guess. As far as I know she wasn't taking any drugs they were using natural ovulation. Maybe I will suggest acupuncture too....IDK

    It all just sucks. I just feel for everyone who is on this ****ty ride

    That is a bit weird.... Maybe they are 'semi okay' with only slightly lower or out of range stats.... So essentially the infertility is unknown....

    I don't take any supplements.... They confuse me too.... I just worry about wasting my money.. When I last spoken with my FS he said the Folic acid was all I needed. Not even the elevit was necessary.

    Your right, the whole stinking journey is unfair and craphola.

    Yeah I know, it just sounds a bit odd. But she hasn't gone into details yet. I haven't seen her for a while and she just recently told me about the IVF.

    I am having two IUI cycles when I book with a new FS and then probably starting IVF next year (if we can afford it ) So I will be joining the crapola train most likely. I will just tell my friend everything I have read/heard. Can't hurt I guess..

    You don't have to be AC to join in.... Anyway if you are about to do IUI you will be - essentially.... Cause that's not natural conception... Really

    Bit I know what you mean about being too obsessed... Lol. I'm not doing any cycles in there at the moment... But at least te girls know what I've been through, and what it all means, and that really helps. If I have questions or feel bad. There's so much support.
