Fluid in uterus before FET

[EmyTW]

Hi,

I’m doing a natural FET cycle this month (not taking any drugs). Today I had my day 9 scan, they found a dominant ovary which suggests ovulation will happen, but they also found fluid.. she said it could possibly be old menstruation blood?

Anyway they said they will need to rescan before the transfer to check it’s gone…otherwise they’ll cancel the cycle. I’m so anxious now! I’ve never had this before..

Does anyone know what this means/offer any reassurance the transfer still might go ahead?

Thank you xx

Hi Emy. This is unfortunate and may need to be drained. Do you know if your Fallopian Tubes are clear? If not, it can cause fluid to drain into the womb. All a worry and a nuisance for you, but all can be sorted. Your embryo is quite safe. Good luck. Diane

Blimey, draining sounds a bit extreme! It was suggested to me it could pass naturally?

This is an FET for, hopefully, my third child. No issues like this before. I have had a c section in my last pregnancy - could that be the reason for it?

The same happened to me. You mean blood in your endometrial line right? They told me it could be old menstruation as you said or that I'll start to have spotting before menstruation. The thing is, they say if there is any blood is not good to do the transfer, cuz it's not a good environment for an implementation.

I was with progynova and the same kept happening so they had to cancel the cycle.

For me what worked was the evopad patches. It was a miracle. Good endometrial linning and no fluid/blood on my endometrial line.

Hi.

I'm so happy to hear the clinic are being deligent and careful for you.

On my cycle, They found a dot of unexplained fluid and continued the transfer. Led to a failed cycle.

Your lucky they are being very careful and making sure your odds to success are higher by making sure everything's in order.

Fluid can grow or in less cases disappear.

Have faith and patience all the best xxx

I had this on my successful medicated FET - didn't have it on two prior fresh transfers. I was worried but they said it often disappears by transfer and that's what happened. So it may go and just see what they say on the next scan.

Thank you, that is reassuring to hear. x

I’m on a natural fet this month also , I also had fluid on my scan on day 11. I have also had c sections . It is always there … apparently it goes at transfer . X

[EmyTW in reply to Natasha2012]

Thank I really appreciate you replying!! Relief to hear that in some cases it just goes away. I have a scan booked for day before transfer to check. Fingers crossed.

[Natasha2012 in reply to EmyTW]

My clinic don’t even check before … I might ask for a scan to check x

[Natasha2012]

good luck by the way , we must be at the same point as I’m day 14 and due my transfer next Tuesday ❤️✨💫 xxxx

I had this once in first ovulation induction and never again in 5 further OIs and 2 IVFs. I was worried but in the end it just seemed to disappear/reabsorb by time of ovulation. They did tell me if we were doing IVF they could drain it if needed. I asked what it was/what causes it they just said they didn't really know.

Just in case anyone comes back to this thread in the future, I had another scan before my Transfer, and the fluid had gone. I was able to have my FET and on OTD, I got my BFP 😍 - so i don't believe it impacted implantation at all. x
