2morrow 8.30am I have my very first time done endo scratch.

We waiting for my period to come so we gonna do natural frozen cycle and I ask for extra vagina progesterone.

I try pretty everything but I never had endo scratch so not quite sure how long the procedure last and how u feel after words?

I’m driving my self for appointment because is so early to drag my baby girl and because of the covid they wouldn’t let my hubby to go in with me ...so yep feeling bit nervous now. Xx

Hey, good luck today.

The scratch itself is over with in a matter of seconds but it is pretty uncomfortable. It’s worth considering taking pain relief like paracetamol (if you are able to take them) before you go in.

Afterwards I felt occasional cramping and had a little bleeding but otherwise, fine. Was able to drive myself home.x

Hi, hope it all went well today! I had my scratch last week and it was fine, over very quickly, a bit of cramping but that only lasted a few seconds. I think the speculum thing they put in first is the worst bit!

They did tell me to take paracetamol before the appointment and they told me I might have a bit of spotting afterwards but I didn't really get any. Was able to drive home and back to normal activities straight away afterwards xx

Thank u girls .

I took paracetamol before the procedure .

The beginning was painful but after was ok. I felt in second like period pain ...then after 5 min laying down I was able to get my self 2gother .

The doctor explained me the whole procedure that went really well and she “removed “old cells so new one can “grow”.

I mentioned my extra vagina progesterone when should I start taking them ...she said on transfer day... and here Im bit confused....

what I remember with my previous cycles I always been told to start progesterone 5days before transfer 3x a day and now she is telling me on transfer day????

Over 2weeks ago I had consultation with different doctor in clinic next to my home and he knows my history well from 5 years ago who done my op on my tubes ...saying to use that last embryo we have and do scratch but take some progesterone support exactly 48h after a “smiling face appeared on ovulation stick”.

Well that will make sense so why she says different???? Any idea girls? Please

Glad the scratch went well. One word of caution. I had the heaviest period I’ve ever had following my scratch, which I guess makes sense because it really disrupts the lining and gets rid of the old cells before growing new ones. I also seem to remember I came on a couple of days early. So I would say make sure you are carrying round extra pads/tampons for this cycle.

As for the progesterone, I’ve only ever had medicated transfers so I have been progesterone 5 days before hand. All I can think is that because you’re having a natural transfer your body should already be making progesterone itself so maybe it doesn’t need the extra so early? If you have had a consultant who knows your history say take progesterone 48 hours after ovulation (which I am guessing is 3 days pre-transfer?) then I would go with his recommendation. The nurse could be talking generically whilst the consultant would be tailoring his advice for you. Good luck with this round. I found that even though I’d been through it before with no 1, the emotional rollercoaster was just as intense when we were trying for no. 2 x

I haven’t had any issues with progesterone before but I was advised to take some extra support.

This is my second natural cycle and last embryo...so I’m trying to give us much chances to stick . Xx
