IVF babies due 2026?

[1989Frog]

Hi - I couldn’t find a thread but just wondered if anyone else was expecting in 2026 post ivf? I’m due end of Feb so just wanting any similar ladies to chat with!

Def re that last sentence of yours - same

@lemonwrighty ah I missed that bit, impressed with your will power!

I’m so sorry @PlanBFertility didn’t see your update. That’s heartbreaking, so cruel and unfair. Similar happened to me and it’s hard to know what to do with yourself. Sending big hugs and hope you can lean on those closest to you xx

Yes this is what mine did! She used my march collection date and got November as my due date. 3 times I told her she was using the EC date and it wasn't possible for me to be due in November! After getting it wrong multiple times, then having to sit there listening to her tell me my blood pressure is through the roof I just gave up trying to correct her as she was stressing me out! Ive been trying to get hold of my assigned midwife since yesterday morning but she hasn't picked up the phone or replied to messages

@PlanBFertility so so sorry to hear this, its so shit and unfair. Sending you lots of love and hugs, and echoing the PP who mentioned worst girl gang for support, they've been an absolute lifeline for me xx

@PlanBFertility I’m so sorry to hear this, sending you lots of hugs xx

@PlanBFertility i am absolutely devastated for you. I’m so, so sorry this has happened. I am thinking of you xx

I’ve switch my cyclogest to vaginal instead of rectally the past few days and now have some brown spotting. Has anyone had this

@lemons44are you using an applicator? This can be a big cause of it. I had it once a few weeks ago but think it is common but I would chat to your midwife about it x

No, no applicator. I did see this online so I’m hoping it’s just the colour of the discharge

@lemons44 i use it rectally as i was worried about any spotting that would make me panic even if its normal feom the suppositories. Could you go back to rectallly or where you having issues?

@lemons44ive had yellow discharge but my midwife said it’s very common with progesterone and they tested my urine on two separate occasions and all was ok. It does make you so stressed x

I’ve had a couple of instances of spotting when using vaginally so use rectally most of the time now instead. I stopped in case the pessaries were causing irritation but also so if I did have any spotting I could try to keep an eye on it rather than it being mixed in with the pessary. I’ve been checked out after the spotting and everything was ok. They just said it’s one of those things, possibly hormonal.

@Strawberrryfields @Timetotryagain @confused2025 thank you. I will definitely got back to rectally from tonight. I have a private scan tonight to have the NIPT so will mention it to the sonographer.

@lemons44 good luck for scan and blood test! Are you wanting to find out gender? Tempted to do it too

@lemons44that’s good timing. Good luck with it x

@lemons44 good luck, hope it all goes well 🤞

@lemons44 good luck with your scan, hope it goes well

Thankfully sonographer didn’t seem worried and the scan was ok so they’ve told me just to check with EPU. @Timetotryagain yes we have ticked the box to say we would like to know the gender. Should get the results by next Friday. Little nervous about them (the screening not the gender result) X

Amazing!!! I hope your results are all okay - are you going to do a gender reveal?

Trying to get my gp to prescribe cyclogest until 16 weeks is like trying to get blood out of a stone. "You need to speak to your ivf clinic"

"I have beem discharged from them now"

"Well i need confirmation from a obstetrician can they confirm it?"

"I dont have am obstetrician i am 11 weeks pregnant and my care is under the gp at the moment"

I told her about the NICE guidelines for spotting and previous miscarriage meaning i should get it till 16 weeks but she was being really annoying. She is gonna ask an obstetrician and i am like ffs thats a waste of time but okay please do

@Timetotryagain are you meeting your midwife soon? My midwife and consultant were very pro using progesterone so you may have more luck. Also, you could potentially try a private doctor. There is one in canaryward that specialises in IVF and they do video calls. I can try to find the number as I was in London and thought I lost my progesterone when I was 6 or 7 weeks but they were willing to help me. For some strange reason I ended up with lots of utrogesteran so I’m nearly 16 weeks and still using. Will go down to one a day from Sunday and then finish.

@lemons44great news on your scan x

This is so frustrating to be in the middle like this! I had the same thing about blood tests my IVF clinic advised I get regularly (as I've been on steroids) - GP said no, ask your ivf clinic, ivf clinic doesn't do early pregnancy care but also is private so I'm paying £££ for everything, midwife says too early to see you, you're under care of Gp. Got shirty with GP and that worked but it just feels like you get passed around so much!
