Before IVF #4

So after our cancelled cycle (IVF #3), I started spotting 12 days after our last appointment. It lasted for 4 days and didn't get heavy at all. So I don't think it is a proper menstruation period. My spotting was on and off on the next 3 days so I booked an appointment with my doctor. I had a blood test and ultrasound. My blood test resulted to negative pregnancy. (Although it is highly unlikely, they have to rule out that I am pregnant.) My doctor has seen some small dots on my uterus and suggested another scan by a radiologist.

After a second opinion from a radiologist, I was cleared. Though my scan still contained those small dots. My doctor suggested that I undergo hysteroscopy again so she can check my uterus first before starting the next cycle. My husband and I discussed about it first because it means that we need to take an additional expense again, not knowing if this will be beneficial to the success of the next IVF. So after thinking about it, we decided to risk it and proceed with the next IVF cycle without undergoing hysteroscopy.

My doctor prescribed Progyluton tablets so my period will be regularized. She said that as soon as I have my regular period back, we could start the next cycle. We decided to have 2 regular menstruation period first before undergoing IVF #4.
