Hi Helen I don't know what a contructive cycle is but I just want to wish you so much luck for the 16th and following weeks. I am on my 3rd attempt and test on Wednesday. Keep positive and keep smiling. Dagny x

Hi Fi I'm fine seems strange to be going through it all again but I'd rather be going through the treatment than waiting to start I think September was the longest month ever!!!!! How are you getting on are you going to go for FET is so when do you think you can start, How are you and DH coping I know it took me a while to get to grips with my MC I would of been due next month and I still get a little upset. Havn't heard much from Lynne I was wondering how her twins were she had a bleed so I'm hoping she is OK. Sorry Helen to hijack your thread! Fi talk soon let me know how your getting on. Big hugs to all Aly xx

Helen Hi, by constructive, I assume you mean drug assisted. I have just done a FET which was unfortuantly neg. but its only my first go so am trying to stay +ve This is what I did, started as per IVF by taking 7 tablets(like the pill I think) & also sniffing bruselin to shut down system. On about day 19 i think, had blood test & if all ok started FET cycle. This consisted of loveley pessaries & Oestregon (I think) tablets. They gradually build you up, ie 1 tablet 3 times a day for so long building up to 2xtabs 3xdaily. I ended up on pessaries twice a day & tablets 3 times.........After final bloods, did Embryo transfer & 2ww. Overall, a lot less invasive than injections & because no EC, no discomfort or anything Good luck & hope this helps if you can make sense of it Sarah xx

Sarah Yes that sounds about right from what the nurse told me. Thanks for replying.done the frozen embryo transfer twice before but never had to do all this.Hopefully it will make a difference never fell pregnant with the fet before only with the fresh transfer. Sorry to hear about your first attempt, keep going and think positive, it will happen. thanks helen [Edited by Helen Reid on 06-Oct-03 10:41]

Hi HELEN, Just wanted to wish you all the luck with your FET. Are you on a load of drugs this time? Di

Hi Di Yes i am on drugs this time. Last two attempts of FET was done naturally and kind of worked first time but not second. When i do a normal ET it works, maybe all the drugs help! Hope so last ever attempt. Thankyou all for the encouragement. Helen
