Hi Renee - In answer to your question, I have been on pessaries for all my IUIs and IVF cycles (stim and frozen). I am given two types depending on what treatment I am getting -either white progesterone ones or the Crinone ones. Warning: TMI is coming: I quite frequently got a pink-tinged discharge. I've been told that the Crinone can upset things down there and even cause thrush in some people. GL for this cycle!

Hi Loops! Sorry to hear your news. I too hope you can sell that tractor for a really great price so you can do another cycle.

M2B - I have read of good statistics online about acupuncture increasing your chances of success if you have it before and after ET. I started seeing one this year - that is why I did the detox, too - and it is quite relaxing. I am booked in to get treatment before and just after my ET. GL to you!

Hi JBM - After the first cycle, you know more what to expect, hey? I have never got sick during a cycle - touch wood - but maybe that's because we're on so many supplements, too. I feel as if I don't need to have breakfast after I've ingested about 15 tablets in the morning. GL this cycle.

Marcellus - It sounds from what you've said that I'm doing a HRT FET and I didn't even know it I have a problem with spotting in between natural cycles, so I've always been given the pessaries. If I ever fall pregnant - please let it be this cycle! - my FS wants me to be on them until 12 weeks, I think. Have you also tried acupuncture in previous cycles?

Hi to all the other ladies I have missed. Hope you are all feeling strong and positive. Sending some good vibes your way now!
