No I was wondering too as my friend is just about to have her 12 week scan and she had IVF around the same time as Tempi. I hope and pray everything is ok for her...

I know its hard to to think that things will be ok. A similar thing happened to me with my first pregnancy, and when I was pregnant with db I was completely paranoid, but my doctor told me, you are more likely to have a baby than not! I'll keep everything crossed for you for thursday not long now.

Thanks soosy and coggy.

I will be very relieved after thursday. However, I have seen 6 week scan before. The last time I was pregnant, we got to 10 weeks. So we saw the 6,7,8,9 week scans and all were incredible!.... but our babies heart beat stopped at 10 weeks.

I am really trying not to dwell in the past, but it is so hard as it is natural for past experiences to obscure your view.

We are praying very hard.

Hi tempi hope you are well.

Cedar, my cycles are al over the place after IVF one time they told me to continue taking the progesterone pessaries even though I was obviously having a period and I didn't have my next period for 45 days - I'm a 30 day girl. Bizzarely both times I conceived I had 28 day cycle - which I think is quite important, hoping Acupucture will help next ivf attempt for DC2.

gloomy, sorry to hear of your failed treatments, its a big secret how tough it is when it doesn't happen. Don't think of IVF as a negative step, it may actually give you what you want.

latenightowl · 08/10/2007 21:36

Hi Cedar, mine was the same as yours - first one on time or there abouts, and the second one I kept testing as it went to 30 days so around 5 -6 days late. Im hoping this one will be back on cycle again. I think it is due to all the drugs and emotional upheaval that changes them!

Any news on Tempi - I keep looking and havent seen anything.... Tempi if you are looking in - do let us know how you are?

cedar12 · 08/10/2007 08:31

hi everyone just a quick question to those who have had previous ivf how long did your cycle take to get back to normal. Since ivf I have had 2 period one started on the day of the test and the 2nd was about 6 days late I am usually pretty regular. I wont usually worry but I am having a lap and dye on nov 8th so not sure weather to ttc this month or not.
Tempi thinking of you.

coggy · 06/10/2007 10:30

Ooops! Dodgy spelling there!!!!

coggy · 06/10/2007 10:29

Thank you Iamsogloomy.
It's hard making these disicions isn't it? Especially, I guess, when finances are involved. I am very lucky to have had my treatment so far on the NHS. I am incredibly grateful that I haven't had that extra stress as well.

Tempi - still thinking about you.
Hope you are okay.

Hello, just dropping in and read this thread with real interest - so many of you are going or have been through what I have been. Mind if I join you? I'm not as miserable as my new name suggests, honestly! [must think of more positive name or I'll be mistaken for a hut escapee...]

Tempi I hope it's good news for you.

Coggy, I've followed your story on MN on and off for the last 2 yrs or so and I'm so sorry IUI hasn't worked for you. I've had 2 failed IUIs and now trying to decide whether to keep on going with 1 or 2 more or go for IVF. If i'm honest i had really low expectations of it working for me . All the very best of luck for your next stage.

Chocolatedays, your posts about your IVF experience have been really helpful for me. I've been thinking of it as such a massive step compared to IUI, financially, emotionally and morally (i mean i'm scared i'll be "going against nature" if we have to resort to ICSI). Did you do IUI first? I'm also seeing an accupuncturist and he's also sucessfully bringing ov fwd for me and so making LP longer. Wish I'd have found him before i did the IUI.

Anyway, sorry for the long post, hello and good luck to you all.x
