Hello ladies,

My history: 39 never TTC until less than a year ago (met my husband at 37 and we were living apart)
Because of my age and bad exams we were planning on going straight to IVF without trying natural. However Covid changed our plans and in March during the lockdown we got pregnant on our first try but had a blighted ovum and miscarried at 7 weeks. Did 2 IVFs cycles, one had chemical pregnancy with the one embryo we had and second even though we had more eggs we got no embryo. We were preparing to do PRP on ovaries to try to increase egg quality then tried natural once again but had a miscarriage at 8 weeks after having a strong 155bpm heartbeat 😢
Now I don’t know what to do. We obviously had some luck but getting pregnant twice in 2 tries tells me we still should have a decent chance, but I’m a poor responder to IVF. So I don’t know anymore if I should still do the PRP because I’m afraid it can hurt my body instead of improving. I’ve read all studies and my doctor is really good. My doctor has done some cases but he said it’s early to analyze his own patients results. All seems to be promising but it’s an experimental procedure and a developing science.

Please, please let me know if you had any good or bad experiences with it?!

Hi BBHH- I'm sorry I can't offer any advice as I don't know anyone who has had PRP. Is it something that they offer in the UK or is it offered overseas? I've heard it mentioned but never come across anyone who has had it done so would be interested if you can have it done in the UK.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do x

I don’t know if they do in the UK. It’s done a lot in Greece and I hear many people from UK go there for fertility treatment IVF, egg donation so I thought some people might have done it. There are starting to do more and more in the US too
