[cath]

i start my 4th ivf early may and have transfer around 6 june which i'm mentally getting prepared for again, each time i've had a failure ive had period pain prior to transfer or very early on tww i.e day 1-4, ive kept on about this to the clinic as soon as this pain starts and each time my bloods and scans are perfect and yet my body is telling me its period time and i have never been wrong, after the last failure i saw the consultant and he said progestorone was giving me this pain and theres nothing they can do i always get period pain prior to my period whether im on treatment or not [ by the way i have endo] so each time i know my treatments going to fail before its really started i justr wondered if anyone else has this problem? i'm almost 36 ttc 14yrs and i only have 2 more goes left, does anyone know anything about takiny junior asprin whilst on ivf? gratefull for advice love cath

Hi Cath, I remember your concerns during your last cycle, and I remember your protocol being very different from mine in terms of when your EC/ET was during your cycle. At my hospital EC/ET is always around day 12/14, when you would naturally be ovulating. I couldn't really understand your protocol. Can you just remind me of the timescales ....

Re baby Aspirin, I asked about this at my last hosp apptmt. I'd read a lot of +ve stuff about it, but it hadn't been mentioned. The Dr simply said I could start taking it if I wanted to, but wasn't bothered either way. I think I'll try it next time, but can't remember whether it should be from start of downreg, or from ET onwards. I thought the Dr had said from the start of the cycle, but then I also thought I'd read from ET. There must be someone here who knows ..?

Sandra, I just googled this and followed a FF thread - as always there was no single obvious answer although after EC seemed a fairly common time. Still lots of divergent opinion though. My clinic aren't interested in it at all.

Cath good luck with No. 4. Have a look at the June/July thread although you might be a little early for them. At least they'll be good company through April and May.

Debra.

Thanks for that Debra. If only they clincs / hospitals were all singing from the same hymn sheet - it would be sooo much easier. At least then we wouldn't have to worry if we'd done the right thing ..

Have just read your post and can identify with some of the things you said - I always suffer from pains before I am due to start my period, and 1st time tmt I had pains like you described.

I haven't been diagnosed with endo - but last review appt consultant said I could have mild endo which may account for lack of success - I asked him what could we do, he said nothing in my case, didn't think it was worth looking into but at the back of my mind I can't help but think is that the reason?!

Good luck with your next tmt, I am starting downreg in May so will have EC in June all being well, like Debra said join one of the threads (or both of them!) so you are not alone

Hi Cath, good luck with your next treatment - we've got a June/July thread going which could be a good support for next couple of months then people will probably spill out into smaller groups as they get closer to more specific points and supporting through treatment and 2ww. At present we've got a mixture of people planning for down regging in late May and throughout June so come and join us for a chat 'June/July cycle' thread. Cherylx
