I had a succuessful IVF that resulted in my DB. I am starting IVF again for a 2nd child. I had no issues the first time.
This time, my FSH is borderline at 9.6. I have started my BCP's and am on Day 6 out of 14. I woke this morning to find that I was bleeding. TMI, sorry. It's heavier than spotting but not a full flow. Should I be worried? Is this normal? I didn't take BCP's with my first cycle so I don't know if this is supposed to happen.
I'm on my second IVF cycle and had similar experiences. The first time, I spotted the entire 14 days I was on the BCP. This time I had a heavier flow, but it stopped around day 8 or 9. The nurses told me not to worry about it - it is just your body adjusting to the hormones in the BCP. Good luck to you on your cycle.
Thank you! That is reassuring. The RE never called back today so that makes me feel better. I appreciate you responding! Good luck to you as well! Where are you in your cycle currently??????
I also spotted most of the time I was on BCP. At first it made me pretty nervous but after weeks of spotting and talking with my RE I knew it couldn't be too bad because he wasn't worried at all. Now here we are pg with twins!
Good luck and I hope you get another BFP!!!!!

I'm not sure what protocol you are on, but I thought I would pass this along as well. After 2 weeks of BCP, I was off for 3 days before starting my stims (bravelle/menopur). I actually had another period - it lasted 5 days. Again, the nurses said it is normal, so if it happens to you, don't worry.
As far as my cycle, I had my ET on Sunday and my ET will be on Friday. They retreived 8 mature eggs and fortunately all 8 fertilized with the help of ICSI. Although, the next two days will be critical, as they will start weeding them out. In my first round, I started with 8 and only had 2 left to transfer, which unfortunately were not the best quality and didn't take. So, needless to say, I'm a bit skeptical, but still hopeful. I started down this IVF road due to my DH (sperm quailty issues). The first round was exciting, but I was a bit naive. This round I have worried a lot more. What a roller coaster of emotions. I just keep reminding myself to take it one day at a time.
