Calling all IVF medicated FET mummas!

[Leoladyttc1]

Hi guys! Just wanted to see some shared stories with fellow IVF medicated FET mums out there!

I'm 5 weeks and 1 day today (17dp5dt) and currently taking 3x cyclogest a day (2x vaginally and 1x rectally) plus 3x estrogen tablets.

Most people talk about constipation in pregnancy whereas I've experienced the opposite! My clinic have said it's very common to have looser bowel movements with progesterone supplements and pregnancy hormones but I just wondered if anyone else has/is experiencing the same?

I was advised to maybe try changing the rectal one to vaginally but I also get on and off brown cm which again has been put done to cyclogest irritating my cervix (and I have seen other women say they experienced this) so I'm trying to not be too concerned about that, but also don't think 3x vaginally a day will help any irritation!

Just some shares stories would be great to hear! :)

I was on the same Cyclogest routine and today is my first day off them which I am looooooving! I also found I had looser bowel movements and seem to have escaped the classic constipation… so far. Shall see what happens now have stopped them. I think everything you describe sounds normal and hope everything goes well with your pregnancy. I know how much higher the stakes can feel after a longer harder road to get here.

@magpie234 Everyone's story is different that's for sure! How far along are you if you don't mind me asking?

@Leoladyttc1 I am 12 weeks today. I did a modified natural FET so progesterone but not estrogen.

@Leoladyttc1 i was semi medicated but yes cyclogest gave me loose stools for 13 weeks!! (18 weeks now and not an issue anymore)

@magpie234 Amazing! Best of luck with your pregnancy too! :)

@Timetotryagain oh gosh! Are you still taking cyclogest?

@Leoladyttc1 no thankfully stopped s few weeks ago :) happy to see the back of them haha! Good luck to you and congratulations!
