My father's dry amd has recently progressed to wet and we have been advised to get an
Anti

injection. He has advanced glaucoma as well and this is his only working eye (left). The other eye is already affected by glaucoma (90-95%).

CHANGE OF BIOLOGIC TREATMENT
Hello, I have had Rheumatoid arthritis since my late 30s (77 now). I had several biologic treatments , some of which did not really control the RA well… The best biologic was Enbrel (Etanercept) weekly injections. It gave me my life back for 14 years until I had my second knee replacement operation

day6 embryos
hi everyone, I have a day 6 embryo that has been frozen. I have heard that day 5 embryos are better than day6 and success rate is higher for day5. Although my day5 euploid didn’t implant. Can anyone share their experiences with day 6 embryo and what was done to improve the chances of pregnancies.

broken bones and MPN
I’ve never broken any bone in my body but last week I broke my ankle. I’ve been told it’s a stable fracture and have been given a boot and crutches. I do normally have bone pain anyway but my lower leg is extremely painful and hot to touch. I’m taking zapain full daily dose but it’s only barely touching

Where to go next? Please help!
Hi all Firstly, sorry for the length post. I’m desperate for advice… We’ve just had a failed cycle at ARGC. 3 blasts sent for PGT-A testing, all come back abnormal. The follow-up consultation was extremely thorough. We’ve had karyotype tests (normal), hysteroscopy (normal), at beginning of cycle: FSH

New to group
Good morning, I just found this group online while looking for a support group for my husband’s demyelinating syndrome. I have been through the wringer with chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease since 1989. I try not to let my pain define me, though. My new pain specialist recommended

Flare? Or has biologic stopped working?
I am on COSENTYX and MTX and had been doing ok. The consultant said I needed to start Alendronic acid as my bone density borderline. Within a few weeks my arthritis symptoms started to flare. I had a depo injection, but little or no effect. I have been taking celecoxib which wasn't doing enough so now

Worries prior to treatment
I'm sorry, its me, panicking again. Has anyones folicle count ever been incorrect? I'm only 31 and only have 7. I know it only takes one egg but I don't know whether to do a few cycles of collecting before having a transfer. My AMH is also near the bottom end of people my age. Trying to be positive

secondary infertility deciding when to stop
So I’m very lucky to already have the most wonderful child ! We’ve been trying to have another baby for over 2 years. I’ve had failed IUIs and then did a round of IVF where I had x4 embryos at day five which I was told were all ‘good’. Anyway none of them stuck x3 negatives and I had x1 chemical pregnancy
