Infertility

How soon after a misscarriage did you start IVF again?

Hi, I recently completed my first IVF cycle which sadly ended in a misscarriage at 5 weeks. I haven't had my WTF appointment yet so don't know what went wrong - if they can even tell me.  We unfortunately had no remaining embies to freeze so that would mean a fresh IVF cycle for us.

For those of you who have had similar circumstances how long after a misscarriage did you wait to start a fresh IVF cycle? Did your RE have you wait longer than normal because of the miscarriage?

Thanks and wishing everyone all the best in 2010!

Re: How soon after a misscarriage did you start IVF again?

  • My RE's standard protocol was to take a cycle off, hormone-free.  But since I don't ovulate, I started BCP for IVF #2 on day 35 or so of the bleed after my m/c.

    I am so sorry for your loss.


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • My RE makes you have one post m/c AF before starting another cycle. However, I waited 4 months because I just wasn't ready to start the process all over again.
  • I believe that they will make you sit out a cycle to let your body rest before starting another cycle.
