Hi all,
AF today (first time I’ve been excited for that) which means on 28th of May we start our long protocol. Husband sperm is ‘excellent’ apparently, my periods are regular and my AHM is satisfactory at 23.9 (I’m 37) We are in the unexplained infertility box. We feel (naively?!) excited at finally starting IVF with the NHS and due to our circumstances we are able to have three rounds. Just wondering any advice? Tips etc for a newbie going into the process?

Hiya, sorry no advice but just wanted to say that we are also due to start long protocol on the 28th. Also very excited to start and also lucky for it to be first try of three possible NHS attempts so very similar! My down regulation is one injection that lasts a month, my stims supposed to be starting 24th June and then egg collection provisionally scheduled for 8th July xx

@MerryBrickHelper no we will be having ICSI due to male factor. AHM is in normal range xx
