Ivf

[Parisleigh06]

I have just had bfn after first ivf cycle and having ovary pain and no bleed is this normal?

Ovary pain may well be from having your ovaries stimulated.

DO familiarise yourself with OHSS which is basically overstimulation of the ovaries.

If it worsens or you get a temp go to ED.

My heart goes out to you ... it can take a couple of weeks for the bleed , which is essentially a miscarriage. Please don't underestimate how you will feel when this happens- i wish i had been prepared. I sat & sobbed in the bath and gave myself a migraine.

I don't know if you plan any more tries , but i had icsi and went on to have a boy and a girl.

Please do alllow yourself to recover physically and emotionally over the next 3 months

Thank you I will try one more but Need to get over the first one first no one warns you how mentally and physically it takes it out of you, I did look at ohhs but wasn’t sure as I only had 3 eggs retrieved which was 3 weeks ago. Do you know how long it normally takes a bleed to come? Thank you for your help.

Mine took a couple of weeks.
How ru today?

I started bleeding last night really bad cramps but feel bit better today, think I’m just really nervous that ivf won’t work as I had 2 fertilised put in but neither implanted x

Ahh, for you. Often there is no rhyme nor reason as to why IFV fails or succeeds. The sadness when it fails is overwhelming though as you have so much invested in it. I wish you well for future attempts

Give yourself time to recover, it takes at least 3 months.

And then decide if you can through it again - it's important to have a cut off point though . Mine was 3 rounds.

Otherwise your physical and emotional health are so deeply affected.

Sending you OP.

When my second completed round of IVF failed (I also had two embryos returned each time) I cried for weeks. It felt like it wasn't just that round failing but every future round too.

Does your clinic offer counselling?

I was lucky because the third round worked.

Sending lots of gentle hugs. It's an awful feeling when it doesn't work after all the excitement and anticipation of the cycle. Treat yourself gently and allow yourself time to process your feelings, it's not always easy.

Speak to the clinic they usually offer counselling as part of the service if you want or need it.

Thank you for all the messages I am going to give myself time to recover and think process everything it was my first time and think there is lot things I would do different if I’m honest I’m also going to ask about embryo glue as I haven’t heard of this before and don’t know if it increases success or not xx
