Hi all, i'm having my first medicated FET, and it's not going according to plan! I'm wondering if anyone undergoing IVF or FET has had a similar situation.
I had short protocol IVF in March 2017 (I have PCOS) which resulted in my nearly 3 year old. Everything was straight forward, and I had an elective c-section.
I had an unmedicated FET in Aug 2019 which resulted in my daughter, who we sadly lost at 20 weeks pregnant due to a placental abruption.
This time around we are doing a medicated transfer, as my cycles have become irregular since the loss.
At my baseline scan after 19 days of buseralin i was identified as having a thick lining, and an ovarian cyst. This was drained on Tuesday 25th of August , I continued on Buserelin and I was also given a course of norethisterone to induce another bleed, which has happened prior to my follow up scan.
At my scan last Friday my lining is still too thick, around 9mm. I have been booked in for a Hysteroscopy under General Anaesthetic , so need that to happen before anything else can happen fertility wise. I have my pre-op on Monday, but apparently in terms of the actual op they are still working through the post-Covid backlog. I've stopped the buseralin.
I seemed to stump the nurse who scanned with me who said "i don't know what they are going to do with you". I didn't get to speak to a consultant, only the junior who came to consent me for the hysteroscopy.
I haven't had any blood tests done fertility wise in about a year. I feel that maybe I should be getting more up to date bloods done?
If there is a delay getting the hysteroscopy we are considering getting this done privately... but there doesn't seem a heck of a lot of evidence at this stage for getting it done except they don't know what else to do.
Has anyone else got a second opinion from another fertility consultant in this sort of situation?
