Dear Dr. Jacobs: I went through IVF Cycle in March '06 and am confirmed pregnant (8 weeks and 2 days). My RE mentioned that everything was normal and suggested that I select an OB in the next few days. My question to you is: What kind of things I should watch out for as I transition from IVF to a normal pregnancy routine (any symptoms that raise a flag). I asked around a few OB offices and they said that there was nothing special with IVF pregnancy - I wanted to confirm the same from you. You and this forum have been an excellent source of information and encouragement during my difficult times - Words cannot express my appreciation and I would like to simply say THANKS.

I know it is difficult to appreciate, after all you have experienced, but now that you have established a pregnancy through IVF, it is any other pregnancy. Just because you went through heroic measures to attain your pregnancy does not mean it is at any greater risk than if you and your husband had needed no help, at all. Congratulations!
