prometrium?

Has anyone had to take prometrium to get a period after a failed IVF cycle? Just wanted to know how long i should expect to have a period after starting the medicine and what side effects are involved.

Re: ghost?

Thank you so much for the answer. My dr was not able to provide me with one, just that it was common. Still no period. Hopefully i will get one soon or they will have to prescribe me something to get it going. I really appreciate your help.

I have had 2 cancelled IVF cycles. For both i started with 15-16 follicles. 16 for 1st cyle, 15 for 2nd cycle. If i was to try ivf again, could my number of follicles increase with more meds or will i always have around that number? We must have PGD so i need more eggs. I heard somewhere that you ...

Ghost, question?

We had 5 embryos reach blastocyst and had PGD testing done on all of them. They confirmed one embryo was abnormal (my husband has a balanced translocation) but the other 4 they received "no signal". My RE told us that once they did the biopsy on those 4 "no signal", they stopped growing and became ...

after the transfer...

Can anyone recommend what to do after the transfer as far as activity? I have requested the day after off of work, but should i refrain from moving around too much? anyone have advice on what helped them achieve a BFP or does it even matter?

Thanks for the responses! We found out today that 5 fertilized. We are a little nervous at how many we will end up with because we have to do PGD for recurrent miscarriages (3).
