Bobbysox,

it is quite normal to be sore after your epu. I've had sore cycles and cycles were I've not felt anything. Rest heaps so that you're as good as can be when your et comes round. Good luck!

Sari, I've done completely unmedicated FETs too, as in no pessaries even. I always questioned whether it was wise, but my Dr believed my body was managing its hormones well on its own, and he wanted as little interference as possible. In a way, he was right, coz the cycle I fell pg, my P4 levels from the pessaries shot up to over 1000iu, when they only needed to be about 100iu.

Just for anyone new who hasn't heard my story, I have had 3 children naturally while in my 20s. I had a tubal ligation at 26 at my ex's insistence, but had it reversed when we split up 5 years later. My current husband and I tried for 3 years naturally before discovering my tubes were completely blocked. The medical professionals said that because I was previously fertile, IVF would work for me no problems, but it still took 8 long, difficult cycles for us to fall pg.

So what I'm trying to say is, IVF does work for many couples, and the majority of you will have a baby if you keep going, but sometimes you just can't tell why one cycle works and another doesn't. Stay strong, girls, and remember, EVERY transfer is a chance!

love
