Support thread for ladies who have had 3+ failed IVF cycles

[africaqueen]

No hun, no pain at all, just the pink when i wiped. I have put a pad on to keep a eye on it but so scared of it getting worse. We cannot lose this baby!! xxx

Sarah I know it's hard but try and stay positive. Maybe see about getting bloods done it's a long wait till your scan and the only way of knowing what's happening. Praying it's just some early pregnancy spotting. Are you still on progesterone support ?

AQ - the amount of women that have early pregnancy bleeding after ivf is soooooo common. Doesnt make it any easier when ur going through it though i know im praying for all to be well with u and ur baby!! xxx

AQ it is very common and can be completely normal. A friend of mine is 17 weeks and still bleeds sometimes. Hope this is nothing as well

Plex you should be excited! Everything crossed for a great fertilization report for you!

Thanks ladies but not looking good. Blood is bright red now. went for a wee and can see splashes in the loo and a few spots on my pad and on tissue when i wipe. I am feeling helpless!! how can life be so cruel? this is all we want from life! please god dont let us lose our baby. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! Cannot cope with this.

I am not on progesterone now no. My clinic stops it the day after OTD.

Oh Sarah!! I am keeping everything crossed for you!!!
I cannot believe that they stop progesterone! Anyone else I have known who goes through AC has to stay on the progesterone for many many weeks (my clinic wanted me to use it until the 12th week and I weaned myself off it by the 14th). Because it is an artificial process of getting pregnant, your body won't be producing the hormones as it would in a natural cycle and so it needs the support certainly until the pregnancy is stable ...
I am not giving up hope for you Sweetie! Sending you much strength and huge hugs!

How are you feeling otherwise?

 

[africaqueen]

So if i ask my gp to prescribe more progesterone tomorrow will it help or is it already too late?? xxx

 

[bugs]

Sometimes you can spot when your progesterone levels drop, it certainly wouldn't do any harm. Can you not ring the women's and ask them to prescribe it xxxx

 

[nicijones]

Hey lovely, I don't think u shud have stopped progesterone? With this preg and with scarlett I was on it until week 13 as that's wen the placenta takes over. Is that not what they told you?
Xxx

They did a trial at the Liverpool women's for progesterone support and I think it showed that there was no increase in live birth results when progesterone support was used until 12 weeks compared to when not at all. I think the jury is out on whether it can save a pregnancy or not. All's I know is I could never even get to test day without bleeding pregnant or not it was only when I switched to progesterone injections that I wouldn't bleed until I stopped them xxxx

 

[nicijones]

Sarah I would get some prescribed as soon as and if u can't get any tmw I have some left over I can give u?
Xx

 

[Hopefulx2]

I even bled on them bugs... I have some progesterone left over here if you want it but not sure where you are xxx praying for you Africa you deserve this x

 

[africaqueen]

Dont think its going to make a difference now but thanks.
The bleeding is worse and bright red and i am cramping, although mildly. dh, me an my dad are in bits. Going to bed and praying for a miracle in the morning that the blood has stopped but doubtful. Enough is enough. Can't go through more heartbreak. Just can't.

 

[Hopefulx2]

You are in my thoughts and lrayers tonight and I hope it all is ok... I really really do x those of us who have quietly kept and eye on our fellow 3 x people are all feeling your concern and worry and I just wanted you to know that. I doubt it's any help but I and many others are thinking of yoi and sending positive vibes x

AQ - Thinking of you huni xxx

 

[bubumaci]

and prayers going your way!!! xoxo

 

[LadyLovenox]

Hoping and praying for a positive outcome!!! You deserve all the best!!

 

[Peachy1584]

AQ huge . Hope and pray this turns out to be nothing. I don't know whether progesterone helps or not but both of my clinics use it til 10 weeks. On my failed cycles I would not bleed until I stopped it. The only way to know is doing the blood tests.

 

[Unlucky41]

Sarah really sorry to hear this. Can you get a blood test done? Hope everything works out fine! We are all praying for you!

 

[Sandy83]

AQ, Thinking of you and hope this morning gave you some positive news and the bleeding has stopped have you tested again? xx
