FET cancelled.

[glt01]

Went for my third scan this morning as my womb was 6.8mm last week and they wanted it at 8 before starting the pessaries.

Me and the nurse had a good chat about how to cope with migraines, other symptoms, plans etc. Then she scanned me.

My womb lining has decreased. She was very lovely about it which made it even worse. I just laid and cried as she poke around my womb hoping to find any bit that was 8mm thick so they could still try to salvage this cycle but no. I was gutted. It literally feels like the world has fallen out from under your feet. Again. First the OHSS, now my womb decreasing in thickness, who knows what's next.

So next step, they're going to do a back to back cycle as I hadn't got to the point of pessaries so hopefully that wont affect anything. Need more drugs and a higher dose. Who knows.

Maybe third cycle lucky- we might actually get to the point of an emby being put back in.

Hey, this happened to me on our first go so I know how horribly upsetting and frustrating it is. Hope you can take your mind off it - enjoy some date nights or have a couple of nights away to take your mind of it. Second time round we tried slightly different meds and all the tips people gave for increasing lining (pineapple, kiwi, walnuts, yoga, acupuncture - you name it and I tried it). I still had a lazy lining but it got there and I’m now 9 weeks pregnant. 6.8 isn’t too far off so fingers crossed next time will right for you. Hope you’re ok xx

So sorry to hear this has happened. It sounds like your clinic does have a plan though to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Just in case this is useful - I am having acupuncture at the moment and my acupuncturist is also a herbalist.

May sound a bit experimental but he is adamant that a combo of both can help with womb lining! Just at night.. wishing you best of luck for your next go.

Thank you, I've been recommended an acupuncturist (not sure if that's even a word?!) So I'm going to see if I can get booked in with them.x

Hi glt. I must say I agree with the back to back FET while your body is being used to having treatment. Of course I wish you every success and a lovely "over 8mm" lining. Diane

Happened to me a couple of times. Make sure you have 75mg (1 daily baby aspirin tablet) to increase blood flow to uterus. Either that, or you could ask for daily clexane blood thinning injections. Both worked for me and when I did neither it was always cancelled. Wishing you all the best x

[glt01 in reply to Music1]

Thank you, I'll speak to the clinic and ask about this x

Aw I’m sorry to read this. I know that crushing disappointment when carefully laid plans get stopped. Hang in there - you’re turn will come. X
