Also does anyone know where you can buy Dhea from? Any websites that deliver to UK? Supposed to be the best supplement you can buy based on research for egg reserves.

@Goonbear
I would try Create who specialise in women with low AMH

I would try naturally this month since you had two follicles anyway or are you using a sperm donor?

OP - don't know if this info will help. My DP is a medic who as part of his role does a lot of rectal examinations. Has been advised in last week that due to the risk of aerosol contamination, he has to wear the full PPE - apron, gown, face mask, eye shield etc and only to carry our rectal if absolutely necessary, life /death scenario. I would assume those carrying vaginal examinations and procedures would have been advised the same thing. The risk currently is deemed too high.

Barnfield10 - Just wanted to send you a hug. I lost my first daughter at 32 weeks after my first IVF cycle. I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter,its heartbreaking. I did go on to have 3 more cycles of IVF in London and have a rainbow DS and rainbow twin girls. Theres so much uncertainty with IVF generally and now with cycles being cancelled and delayed it must be incredibly hard. I really hope you can have your ET as soon as this is over x

Thanks for the reply, with NHS so not sure we can move. Yes we tried naturally but it didn't work and my period came. Going to try and buy the dhea tomorrow, anyone know a website? . So lost about the possible 6 month wait, wish I could just buy the gonal f myself and carry on as I responded so well.

Nothing yet. And I'm private clinic. I have all drugs in fridge ready to go! Just heard news that nhs is resuming treatments for things like cancer due to no need for beds for covid-19 so that gives me hope that it will be just a few days before private clinics will have to have some procedures in place to resume can't see much more waiting when nhs is carrying on with other procedures.

Just sending you a hug Flowers

@Naz110 yessssss ! I have heard from my clinic. They are applying for license to resume treatments from 11 May 2020 , that's next Monday. Yipeeee! V exciting. Don't know when I'll be able to start as I need to be on day 21 to start taking northestrone, could be 4th June for me starting ICSI due to periods/ day 21/ clinic getting the green light. But I've waited this long what's another month, just wanting my babies already. 🙄

Naz110 · 14/05/2020 01:37

Hey all, finally some good news! My clinic are opening 18th May. I am day 10 of my cycle. I can start treatment from the weekend! Super excited, wishing you all good luckFlowers
I will have to have corovirus test before entering my clinic, they have all the health and safety provisions in place.

Just wanted to wish you all so much luck. I've been where you are and the emotions and strain of IVF are so tough, nevermind combined with a global pandemic. My very first thought when lockdown was announced was all the IVF patients Flowers
