There seem to be a few of us, and we seem to be coming through in clumps now, and since there seem to be a few pregnancy things which appear to be peculiar to IVF pregnancies (eg. it's quite common for bleeding and lots of pain, and general monitoring before 'graduating' to being 'normal'! ), and we've had an interesting journey so far, I thought we could start a thread. Emma, can you sticky us?

Here's hoping to see lots and lots of pages on this one

Plus, if makes us easier to find for all our stalkers

Weee! Sticky!

Erm, I got it because I used to write for OB Roksana, and in theory still should be but I've become incredibly useless in the last wee (long) while    Very naughty Ginger I am.

And now, for the first whinge of the thread ...

I stopped my pessaries yesterday (large doeses of Progesterone 3 times a day) and I reeeeally wish I'd weaned off them, even though both nurses and doctors at F+ told me I didn't need to. I feel like several shades of crap today, and the cramps! Youch! I think it's my body kicking in to take over, but I wish it'd do it a bit more quietly    I'm so glad the the last part of IVF is over though, you have no idea. I don't think I'll ever feel entirely normal, but it's a nice start.

Great thread! I am just over six weeks and I think still in shock IVF worked first time for me. We are so very lucky to have the option. Still bit nervous and hanging out to get to 12 weeks with our precious bundle.

Shame about those messary pessaries (which is what dh and i called them!) but at least you are making the required stuff on your own and were given green light to come of them right?

I'm not IVF but I've always been curious about this.

Why do you get more pains and bleeding? Is it true that multi births are more common? I think it's brilliant this option is available for people have difficulty.

Sorry, just being nosey.

I have no idea about the other stuff, but yep, multiples are more common with IVF. Partly coz they sometimes put more than one embryo back, this is becoming less common and they won't usually do it on the public cycles but if the embryos aren't the best quality they sometimes do to maximise the chance of one implanting. There's also a higher incidence of the embryos splitting to form identical twins, not sure why tho, maybe something to do with the IVF process?

Hi ladies,
Yay- great idea for a thread!

Rundown on us: 3 years TTC, with PCOS diagnosed a year or so ago. Never ovulated, never had a period- even with Clomid. Was suitable for public IVF funding but didnt want to wait any longer so privately funded a 1st course (ouch!) and got PG first go!

Was completely freaked out about coming off the pessaries, but within a few days was feeling quite well.

Had bleeding around 20DPO and then again at 11 weeks, but all fine. Second one was a placental bleed, but baby doing well!

Had loads of pains in the first 8 weeks, with a heap of scans to make sure things were going ok....think part of it was to do with IVF but also the usual growing things!

The only other strange thing that has happened to me is that I am now 14 weeks and have lost 2 kgs since before I was pregnant- I think its down to fluid retained from all the drugs when on IVF but still quite funny!

Anyway, good luck to all you ladies out there contemplating IVF- its a hard road, but so worth it!

Yay for Summagirl and Kiwibubs joining the thread! (I don't look like such a noddy now, just talking about myself )

Dana - I have no idea about the multiples. Apparently the chance of a single embryo splitting is about 15% higher with IVF, but no idea why! I just kept everything crossed and tried not to jiggle mine in case it thought splitting in two was a good idea    (No offence to twin parents - I was terrifed of twins as in my family, both on my mothers and fathers sides, twins do not reach live birth)

I think with pain/bleeding/complications thing it's not so much IVF-related as related to the infertility that has meant you have had to do IVF. For me, it's been to do with my endo. That's just a guess though - I do remember that the clinic said that bleeding is perfectly ok!

I'm the same as you Kiwibubs - I've lost 3kg off my pre-IVF weight! I'm putting it down to No. 9 not wanting any chocolate or sugar AT ALL    Everything else I usually digest and the ms kicks in afterwards ala dry retching. I've had a few cup of tea power chucks first thing in the morning though    I was worried about coming off pessaries too and I had terrible pains and sickness over the weekend, and felt like I'd been run over by a truck, but it's settling down now. Phew. I could hardly walk on Monday!

Summagal - I know what you mean. We've had 2 scans already, but I'll feel so much better when we've had the next one on the 14th. I guess it comes from complete disbelief that it's finally happening to us all!

Kiwibubs - have you had your scan yet? All good??

I get the impression that although there are a few of us on here who are having babies off our first cycles, that it's not all that common (well, it's about a 25-40% chance isn't it? Duh!). My OB was impressed that it was our first cycle AND we have 5 blastocyst embryos on ice. I guess we did good! For a change!!

Are you two going through OBs or midwives? We opted for an OB after the bleeds, and with my endo issues which are causing problems, and I feel so much better about it. We were strongly recommended to have an OB involved anyway, so it wasn't much of a choice

OK. Ginger's novel done.

Good idea! I can't be assed working out the other due dates (I'm lazy and my brain hasn't worked for weeks), so I'll do mine and you guys can add yourselves

Ginger - EDD 20th January. DH is convinced it's a girl so we'll see in about 9 weeks!

Hi girls,
My due date is New Years Eve!

We have had about 7 scans so far, and I have only just hit 14 weeks, due to pains, bleeding etc and the specialists wanting to check it out. Had the proper 12 week one a few weeks back, and it was great- got lots of pictures and everything was well. Had the Nuchal Fold thingy done, and also fine.

Off for Maternal Serum testing next week, and then hopefully that is it for a while.

We also have 3 blasts on ice, for later, so are very excited that we wont have to wait as long next time to get up the duff!!

I told you my brain wasn't working

Ginger - EDD 20th January. DH is convinced it's a girl so we'll see in about 9 weeks!

Kiwibubs - EDD New Years eve!


The pain is something else isn't it Kiwibubs? And I imagine that having had that many scans, you're going through worse than I am. One thing I've found has helped me is, as much as it bites, setting my alarm and getting up a couple of times in the night to make sure my bladder doesn't get full. I hate it, but I hate the pain if I don't sooo much more! One night I was curled up on the bottom of the shower at 2am for about half an hour trying to get my pain level down to even tolerable    Things seem to be going a bit better now though.

I'm really sorry you're having such a rough time of it Kiwibubs - I really think that after all we've been through the pregnancy bit should be easy! We deserve it!!
