Thanks late. I was on progesterone pessaires last time I did IVF. Apparently they work just as well as the needles and although a bit messy are definitely not painful.

Congratulations Karen!!! So happy for you. Hope you and Baby are recovering fine and you can be home soon. If I remember correctly you were 6 weeks ahead of me so you basically went into labour on your due date??!!

Ah Karen I’m so pleased your beautiful baby is finally here safe and sound.
Thanks for sharing a pic, often wonder how you’ve been getting on...and finally some time off work :)
Huge congratulations sweetie xx

Mandy002 the clexane is an injection (with a fine needle!). There’s some evidence it helps with implantation and with uterine/placental blood flow and reduces the risk of miscarriage.

Oh and, of the medication I mentioned, clexane is the only one which is an injection.

Congratulations Karen! Your little one is lovely!

Thank you Wonky, that's good to know. I will try and get this done early in the new year.

The pessaries weren't a high enough dose for me Mandy (according to the doctor) because I was spotting fairly early and they should have prevented it completely at that stage, hence adding in the injections this time! I sometimes wish they did more blood tests - I am sure it isn't, but does feel a bit like guess work...

Congratulations Karen! Had been thinking you must be due soon! Long labour followed by emergency C section sounds like the worst of both worlds but I hope you’re both recovering and getting to know each other now. So pleased it’s all happened for you, what a different year to last year!

Congratulations karen! How exciting, a beautiful bundle of joy xxx

@Karendvm the best news!!! Thank you so much for the photo!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 😘
Are we allowed to know the name pleeeeeeeeease???

late I have taken Prontogest but before I knew about Asda. If you have an original prescription you should be fine.

mandy my previous FC, CRGH, obliged me to use a specific pharmacy and I also had to take a shed load of drugs. I hope you do not mind me asking but why are you on Metformin? I am on it too for PCOS - 3 tablets a day.
With my first BFP I was on 3 types of progesterone to boost my levels - crinone gel, cyclogest and prontogest.

What a week!!! Crazy busy at work - but better busy than bored right?

Asda don't do prontogest or lubion... I have asked the clinic for a separate prescription in case I need it and I'll get the injections at Boots, and the rest of the patches and pills at Asda. I have to buy the needles from the clinic as Boots don't supply them!

At this stage in the previous two ivfs I'd been spotting increasingly heavily, and I haven't at all this time. I'm not getting too excited though - I'm on that many drugs my hormones wouldn't know where to start!

Congrats karen how beautiful!!!! Do we have a name yet?!!

I’m on clexane - oh the fun. IVF meds used to be 2k per round, now I’m paying 250 for my first round and only 100 for this round of donor eggs..... as i had some meds left from round one. Love it when that happens!

Late, keeping everything crossed this is your time xx

Fingers crossed late, I'm the same, no spitting so far so fingers crossed!

Spotting lol!

Congratulations karen, I have c section booked for Wednesday and can't wait to meet my little one.

Hi everyone, lots of new faces on here- good luck to everyone. I still lurk and catch up on the feed to see how everyone is doing - especially those ladies who supported me when I was going through my iui process xxxxx

Oh exciting treasure, it’s odd to be getting there after the disappointments earlier in the year. Mine is pretty much engaged at 34+3, I feel like my pelvic floor won’t hold her for much longer!!!

Best of luck for next Wednesday xx

Wish, Late, keep us updated as soon as you have news!!!

Ahhhh treasure Wednesday you must be beyond excited 💙💗 please let us know how you get on and what you have. I’m so so happy for you sweetie

Not long for you pez :)

Wish/Late keeping everything crossed

Another negative for me. The one thing I can take from this is that I can drink at Christmas. Might start tonight.

Oh Late, I am so gutted for you, I don’t know what to say apart from look after yourself and let us know if there anything we can do. 2018 will bring you your baby I’m sure. Xx

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 wish and late!!!!

Best of luck treasure!!!

Oh what a fcuker late was today your OTD?

So sorry Late 💐xx

So sorry to hear about your BFN late. Look after yourself. I’m sure you will get there in the end.

Kwick I don’t mind you asking...I was on menopur with the last IVF I did which wasn’t successful. I’m hoping that this DE cycle will be more positve. I had an appt yesterday and they said I will be on the pill for 4 weeks when they find a donor then progesterone pessaires and oestrogen tablets until FET. Does anyone have any advice on what else I should be doing or should know.
