Hi, I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this discussion thread . I had 1 round of IVF last fall and hot pregnant right away, but had severe ovarian hyperstimulation . Was on bed rest for about 1 month. Had a great pregnancy and had my beautiful boy in June. He's now 4 months old and I've been exclusively breast feeding and haven't had my period. Well I think my overworked ovaries are starting to awaken after a long deserved break and they are causing havoc. I've had the most intense stomach cramps (worse than labor because they are constant and not a contraction) and doubled over in pain. It lasted for 24 hours yesterday and times before just a few hours. The doctor thinks it is the cysts . I think the cysts are left over from my IVF. Has anyone had anything similar happen?
IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele
3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15
Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN
This board is for gals trying have a second and going through treatments. Maybe try "Success After IF" as maybe someone there has this issue too after IVF and having a baby. My personal opinion is that it is so long ago I doubt it is from your IVF. I would have thought the doctors would have seen it on u/s during your pregnancy if it was there the whole time. But I have no experience and can't say for sure, but a year seems like a long time to have a cyst!!! I hope you feel better soon.
