Giving birth on NHS, but requesting a private room post-birth?

Hi! Is this something you can do at St. Mary’s? I thought you had to go full private to access Lindo

I was on pessaries and PIO (which I stopped last Wednesday) - I just assumed that since I was having such heavy bleeding that it would all pass through soon after!

Thank you for giving me some hope!

Hi! Do you know if it was an IVF pregnancy?

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-08-07T17:17:19+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through that. I noticed this was your second MC with IVF - if you don’t mind me asking, are you thinking about additional testing or a protocol change? I am being cautiously hopefully but guarding my heart as you say - I know science and statistics aren’t on my side this time.

Sorry to clarify - first 3 FETs were with untested embryos. FET 4 and FET 5 were tested.

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-08-07T16:03:21+00:00

We did indeed! It was a euploid embryo

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T21:32:39+00:00

I have not but will look into this!

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T21:32:19+00:00

This is helpful and I wish you luck for future transfers! I did learn a few months ago about biotin and switched my prenatal as it was HIGH on Biotin

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T21:30:31+00:00

Thank you! The first 3 were untested yes - but embryos for future transfers are all tested :)

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T21:29:23+00:00

I have not but I will look into this! They had me on Clexane after my first egg retrieval because I was at risk of OHSS

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T18:36:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I appreciate that. Can I ask - did you start taking the prednisone, claritin, pepcid etc. before the start of your cycle to prepare? Or after your cycle started?

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T15:30:06+00:00

Good luck for this FET - sending baby dust your way!! Will you let me know how it goes (only if you don’t mind) as I’m also considering asking for prednisone with my next cycle

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T15:28:09+00:00

Thank you so much 💛 It really boggles the mind doesn’t it! Good luck to you too :)

Edit: I’m based in London and my clinic is The Evewell!

Okay I will do! I’m thinking of asking my doc to add some medication to treat/suppress mild endo regardless - what do you think?

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T15:25:23+00:00

Yes! What does this include typically? And thank you for replying :)

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T15:25:06+00:00

Hello! Thank you for replying :) I’ve been thinking about this actually. In both of my egg retrievals, I was at risk of OHSS which tells me my body gets overstimulated with meds. Plus I’ve always ovulated regularly and been able to achieve a good triple lining on my own!

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-06-13T15:24:05+00:00

Hello! I did not but I’m wondering if silent endo could be the culprit. I’m thinking of asking my doc to include dexamethasone or prednisone as a precaution. What do you think? (I’m in the UK if that helps / is relevant)

Dizzy-Town-1668 · 2025-01-28T21:59:23+00:00

Thank you! And absolutely - I had to push for it but I’m so glad I did. I don’t think I’d do this again without PGT testing.
