Recovery after Ectopic Pregnancy and IVF Cycle #2
After my ectopic pregnancy on May 24th, 2022, my period arrived on the 28th, marking the start of a new cycle. Following my doctor’s advice, I began taking birth control the next day. On June 13th, I had a post-op appointment, and everything was healing well. The nurse provided me with a calendar for my next FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) procedure.
On June 14th, I started taking a Vitamin E supplement and Pentoxifylline to help thicken my uterine lining. On June 22nd, I stopped taking birth control pills and had a baseline ultrasound and blood work, which showed a uterine lining of 3.3mm. The doctor instructed me to start taking estrace the next day.
Cycle #2 was canceled on July 22nd due to a thin uterine lining and uterine fluid. I stopped taking Lupron and estrace and started doxycycline and medroxyprogesterone as prescribed. I kept the nurse informed of my period start date to adjust my treatment plan accordingly.
