Having a rubbish time of it - prolonged bleeding on donor IVF cycle ๐Ÿ˜ข

**UPDATE 20/04**

Ladies I hope everyone is having a good day.

My scan on Thursday, after 8/9 days of Progynova and 15 days of bleeding which only stopped on Weds, my lining was 5.2mm, which I think is quite thin considering Iโ€™d been on the meds more than a week, however given my bleeding the clinic were happy with this - mine normally gets to about 11 and I think it needs to be above 7mm?? So Iโ€™ve still got 2 weeks to improve!! Next scan is Weds 25th so hereโ€™s hoping for a big change ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Feeling much more positive and can even start to think about the nice โ€œholidayโ€ aspects of the trip to Greece ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜Ž xx

So worried the cycle will have to be abandoned!! Iโ€™ve been bleeding for 12 days now. Been on Progynova for 6 of those days, but the rate I am bleeding will probably be negating the effect of the Progynova. FET is scheduled for Tuesday 8 May so only three weeks to go. Clinic in Greece advised me to have a scan Thursday this week, which was originally scheduled for 23rd, to check whatโ€™s going on.

Stressed for the implications on my cycle but also worried for my health. I know if itโ€™s cancelled itโ€™s one of those things and needs to be for the best outcome, but of course Iโ€™m hoping it doesnโ€™t come to that.

My stupid body letting me down once more ๐Ÿ˜”. Aargh !

Wish me luck ladies ๐Ÿ˜˜

Awww Im gutted for you! What's up with our stupid bodies not doing what they are flipping supposed to eh?! What a nightmare you're having! Whilst we all know we need to do the right things for the best outcome, its damned annoying and very stressful! Hopefully you'll know more on Friday at your scan. Let us know how you get on hun, will be think about you and will keep my fingers crossed for you! xx

Just wanted to wish you the best of luck. I know with my first fresh DE cycle, I had prolonged bleed after down reg but it was quite light and we were able to continue with the transfer. I hope everything works, I have my fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ xx

Aw WeeMrsH, I really hope everything is ok at your scan. All these hormones do crazy things to our body. There have been ladies on here who have had prolonged bleeding and all has been ok. My experience was slightly different in the way that I started bleeding 2wks after starting progynova the clinic said it was quite rare and prob break through bleeding. I knew it wasn't and scan confirmed it was another period 2 weeks after my last one! My cycle got cancelled which I would have cancelled anyway. I know it's slightly different to your situation but wanted to let you know if there are issues to be prepared for it being cancelled. I really hope that's not the case xx
