Hi all,
I was wondering if you would be so kind as to answer a few questions I have about IVF.

When IVF is successful, is it normal to have u/sounds every month?
Does your due date change from when the embryo was insterted to what the baby measurements are during pregnancy?
Also is the risk of having a prem baby higher with each subsequent pregnancy?

Thank you
It isn't normal to have scans every month just because you conceived via IVF. That said, many IVF mum's are with private Obs who scan them every appointment (FS often continues as an Obs). I had a scan at 6 weeks, then all the normal scans any other pregnant woman would usually get. IVF mums are at a slightly increased risk of ectopic so the first early scan is important.

My due date never changed, the early scan was about checking the baby was the right size (and placement) for dates, rather than assessing dates.

Slightly more IVF mums have premmies than the baseline rate, and if you have had a premmie previously, the odds of having another are also slightly increased.

But for the most part, once an IVF woman gets that illusive BFP, she is just like any other pregnant woman (biologically... obviously once you've been through IVF you are forever changed).

Hope that helps.
