IVF Journey is over

So with sadness our IVF journey is nearly over. I went for a follow up pregnancy scan after my 7 week scan wasn’t conclusive. Today there seemed to be something still in the sac but the nurse just couldn’t make it out. Unfortunately after reviewing with the consultant I have been told to stop my medication. They don’t believe there is anything there that will grow now. I have been referred to the EPU next week for a follow up scan. I have been told that I am now likely to bleed but does anyone know if this will be the miscarriage or just a withdrawal bleed from the meds? I’m guess if I do bleed then the scan next week will confirm if it is cleared or if I don’t bleed they will confirm what the next steps will be. It’s all a bit much to take in right now. Is a glass of wine acceptable now at this stage?

I’m so sorry for your loss and that you find yourself in this awful situation. With my first pregnancy I was told that I may miscarry before my EPU appointment and did the night before. It was a natural miscarriage and was much more intense than a withdrawal bleed, although I was a little further along. It was difficult but manageable. Absolutely have that glass of wine xx

Sorry you are going through this.

Yes, they are probably hoping that by stopping the meds you will have a natural miscarriage and they will check if everything has cleared by itself.

If not, they might give you some more time or plan a medication approach/procedure to remove.

I started spotting not long after, but went to my acupuncture lady to see if she could speed things up, which she did.

Look after yourself x
