Ivf day 8

[Nicnac2303]

Hi

I’m currently on day 8 ivf, had a 7 day scan yesterday to check on my follicles and my lining of the womb was quite thick, but since last night I’ve had a bit of red blood spotting when wiping after being to the loo.

Today it’s not spotting just a brownish colour on the paper when I wipe and I’ve got cramps and just fell unwell. I contacted the ivf consultant on call and he told me to try not to worry and wait for my scan on Monday morning but I’m worried something has gone wrong. Can anybody help?

Thank you xx

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Could it be the medication making you feel ill or maybe you are coming down with something?

Try not to worry if you have spoken to the consultant as they probably here similar things.

I hope you feel better soon. Xxx

No idea as it is my first ever ivf cycle! I’m hoping it’s not a period for some reason. It’s just a long wait until Monday morning to find out. Feeling terrible, and google doesn’t help.i had a scan yesterday morning and it looked ok xx

Bless you. So stressful. Ibe done one cycle so far on NHS and we never know what to expect.

What protocol are you on?

Aww try not to Google if possible (easier said than done).

If all looked well yesterday that's positive so try to focus on that.

Xxxx

Im on long protocol xx

[genten in reply to Nicnac2303]

I'm not very familiar with long protocol, I did short. I started on day taking injections on day 3 of cycle.

I had some bloating and in was uncomfortable but didn't feel ill.

Try not worry. Xxxx

Thank you, I may be making myself feel ill by worrying. I shall keep you posted xx

[genten in reply to Nicnac2303]

That is possible hun. I've got myself stressed in the past. Xxx

Hi Nicnac,

Sorry you’re feeling like this. I don’t know for sure but could it just be the scan has proded things around a bit done there?

Fingers crossed everything is fine on Monday x

[Nicnac2303 in reply to Reb990]

This is what I am hoping. 🤞🏼 I tried googling it or looking for someone who may have had this experience but no joy. Just not knowing Is the worst xx

[Tugsgirl in reply to Reb990]

I agree and was going to suggest that the scan may have caused the spotting xx

[Nicnac2303 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Thank you so much, I hope so xx

I know how you feel. Nicola I am the same day as yourself I am due for my scan on Monday morning.After you have the scan done it can make you bleed sometimes.

[Nicnac2303 in reply to naimoo26]

Thank you, it’s such a reassurance knowing there are others in the same position as myself that can at least offer answers or comfort. Good luck tomorrow, I shall keep you all posted with the outcome.x

Hi Nicola my hospital appt went really well this morning. I will find out this afternoon if I will be going for my egg retrieval on Weds morning. xx

[Nicnac2303 in reply to naimoo26]

Hi

I’m so glad for you. My scan went ok, my left ovary isn’t responding to the meds but I have 5 large follicles on my right side. I’m continuing meds until a further scan on Wednesday, hopefully egg retrieval Friday.xx

P.s. they put the bleeding down to the scan as nothing was showing.

[naimoo26 in reply to Nicnac2303]

Awww everybody responds differently to the injections. That sounds great that you are hoping to get your egg retrieval procedure on Friday. I am having IVF with PGD 😊

[Nicnac2303 in reply to naimoo26]

Yes indeed, really disappointed that they won’t get any eggs from my left side but I’m trying to be positive, quality over quantity! Good luck to you, keep me posted on you’re updates xx

[Nicnac2303]

Egg collection 8:30 tomorrow morning. Can’t believe we have got to this stage after the ups and downs. Left ovary still wasn’t responding but my right has responded well.xx
