Struggling and has anyone had a scratch before treatment?

[Hopeandhell]

Really struggling today. Tuesdays are always awful as it’s the day I lost my little girl.

I’ve had the go ahead that my hyperplasia is not an issue so I can start IVF again. This time the consultant has suggest the short protocol (reckons I will get more good quality embryos) as the long only produced one at the end that was transferred successfully. Also, he’s suggested a d attach prior to the treatment.

I am so fearful that the fear is starting to consume me. It’s fear of the IVF not working and if it does work I’m afraid I will lose another baby.

I can’t stop looking at videos of my baby girl and crying. I miss her so much.

So sorry to hear about your daughter and that you're going through a very difficult time at the moment.

In terms of the scratch. I opted to pay privately for one on my second cycle. The research shows that their impact is as yet unknown, but for me the jury's still out as I got my BFP and my little boy is 4 months old now.

Good luck. I really hope things work out for you. Xx

Hi Hope. Going to stick to the first part of your username.My loss too was a daughter and it still hurts so much, so I can understand how you feel. I want you to look forward though, and ask about the scratch or using heparin injections to ensure a good blood flow to your womb lining and help to prevent any clotting. My thoughts of course, but I do hear of increased success from its use. Your Tuesday is my Friday. Thinking of you. Diane

Thank you Diane. The findings have shown zero infection whilst low and high swabs carried out on the 6th (when baby was born) and presence of BV on 19th when I had cramps and discharge. My consultant feels I should have progesterone pessaries till week 34 or 36 this time. Also, that I should be swabbed every two weeks. I am trying to look forward but it’s so difficult. I loved her so very much and had 23 precious days. I have previously had endometrial hyperplasia simplex which has cleared up. I will ask about the heparin. Xx
