Re: Are IVF patients usually tested for pregnancy before stimulation?

Hello, I'm very sorry for your loss and that you had emergency surgery. What a shock to find out you were pregnant during fertility treatment. My clinic do not test for pregnancy before stimulation, they just tell me not to have intercourse from the beginning of the cycle. Best wishes for a speedy r...

4 IVF cycles, 2 ectopics, is it safe to continue?

I have had 4 ivf cycles and 2 resulted in ectopics, one treated with methotrexate and one with surgery. I have had my left tube removed. The surgeon said my right tube looks ok but there is scarring which is suggestive of endometriosis, although I have had no other symptoms. Has anyone else been thr...

Re: IVF Ectopic Pregnancy

Hi LO_17, I am very sorry for your loss and to hear of your difficult journey, and that you have been through surgery as well - I'm so sorry. We did IVF in April 2021 after 3 years TTC and it resulted in an ectopic. I was lucky not to need surgery and was treated with methotrexate. You can search fo...

Re: Hair Thinning

Hello PerkP, I am so very sorry for your loss and that you went through emergency surgery. I was treated with methotrexate and as soon as my hormones reached non-pregnant level my hair started falling out like I've never experienced before. A month later and it seems to be slowing. I don't know for ...

Re: Ectopic pregnancy after IVF

Thank you GwenllianGlyn for sharing your positive IVF experience and wishing you all the best for your pregnancy. Interesting that you were told not to have a fresh transfer. To those who had an ectopic after IVF, how long have you been told to wait before your next cycle? My clinic are happy for me...

Re: Covid-19 vaccine after methotrexate

Hello Talon23,
I am so sorry for your loss. I received my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine 2 weeks before my methotrexate shot. I received my second dose of Pfizer 5 weeks after my methotrexate shot. I was told by the medical professionals this was fine so I went for it. xx

Re: Tests After Ectopic

Thank you so much for posting and for sharing your experiences. I had an ectopic pregnancy following my first ivf cycle and I'm going to push for tests. My consultant said the only test I need is an ultrasound but I just don't want to go through another cycle if there are risks I don't know about. m...

Re: Ectopic pregnancy after IVF

Hi Anns88, Sorry for slow reply. I had my consultation with the IVF clinic earlier this week and wanted to wait until I had had it before posting. I think the answers/advice I was given may differ slightly to what others have been told and posted on this thread but I think it's interesting to read d...

Hello, I'm so very sorry for your loss and to hear about what you went through. I read your post a while ago and I was looking for it this morning because I think I experienced something similar so I'm glad I found it.

Re: Ectopic pregnancy after IVF

Hello, Thank you so much for your reply. I am so sorry to hear of what you have been through and that two of your cycles resulted in ectopic pregnancies. What a difficult thing to go through, I'm so sorry. That is interesting what you said about the embryo gravitating back to where it would be on it...

Re: Mystery Pregnancy - Please help

Hi Megz, I am so so sorry, this sounds incredibly traumatic. My story is on a smaller scale but I also have a bit of a mystery pregnancy. I was seen by 4 specialists over a period of 3 weeks and given three different diagnoses in this time, they just couldn't find it. It was a complete emotional rol...

Re: Ectopic pregnancy after IVF

Hello, I am so very sorry to hear that you are going through this and I'm sorry for your loss. It is so tough, especially having been through IVF as well. Like you, this was our only embryo (the others didn't make it) and I had a Day 3 transfer. The thought of stimming again fills me with dread! And...

Re: Ectopic pregnancy after IVF

Hello, Thank you for your reply. I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you as well. It is such an emotional rollercoaster. That is very interesting to read about how IVF can be a risk itself with all the hormone injections etc. Thank you for explaining. Definitely something for me to ask about at my...

Ectopic pregnancy after IVF

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy following our first IVF cycle and have been given methotrexate. Can anyone explain how an ectopic can happen with IVF? E.g. is it to do with where the embryo is placed? Day of transfer? Fresh/frozen? Human error? I had no known risk factors p...

Dear Chloe, I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. Know that you are not alone. Like you, we have been trying for years to get pregnant, turned to IVF (donor conception due to other heartbreaking factors), got 3 fertilised eggs, 1 top quality embryo (the others didn't make it), day 3 trans...
