Getting pregnant (IVF or otherwise) you are not having periods? (Either from menopause or other reasons?)

[Rosiestraws]

I have another thread I have started about hoping to get pregnant in peri menopause - Anyone been pregnant in peri menopause? (Or hoping to be?) | Mumsnet

But I also thought a different title might get more people in similar positions to read. Basically I appear to have stopped my periods and having night sweats etc. I'm 39 and waiting for more investigations on NHS but have already been through a long fertility journey of getting eggs frozen privately at 35/36 (haven't used them yet) and then trying IVF with sperm donor and fresh eggs at 38 (last year - still ovulating normally then) which didn't work - only got 3 blastocysts and both tested abnormal. I have DOR/POI and clearly looks like I might be perimenopausal or fully menopausal if my periods don't come back.

I know I can still (potentially) get pregnant with IVF using my frozen eggs if I fertilise them and am lucky enough to get embryos to transfer, but does anyone have experience of this, please? i..e going down IVF route when you don't have periods? How does it work? I know it's something to do with different medication to get your womb in the place to receive an egg? Any info gratefully received.

TIA

Look up the details for a fully medicated transfer - it's very doable. You take oestrogen to thicken your lining and then an appropriate amount of progesterone thereafter.

Thank you @sirensong 🙏I have looked at that sort of info before but I will look it up again also but I would be very grateful if anyone has actually got first hand experience of it and can tell me if it worked for them/didnt work. Their age when they did it/what their clinic said etc.
