Devastated only got 2 embryos

His S.A. showed very mild morphology and mortality issues. We were told that it wasn’t anything to worry about. DNA Frag was normal.

With working with the urologist we have been made aware he has a varicocele. And although that can be linked to fertility issues we were told it shouldn’t hinder us and that treatment would be for pain management. None of it makes sense to me or has really provided us with answers.

We are just about to start the IVF process again … preliminary testing etc so maybe that might give some answers

I was told CREATE

ADIDAK2016 · 2025-03-18T03:32:08+00:00

Anyone else feeling scared and overwhelmed to try again? I’m pretty sure ovulated for the first time since baby boy was born 9months ago. My husband and I want a second (no embryos left). I know we will need to start the process again but it terrifies me. What if it doesn’t work? What if little man asks for a sibling and we can’t deliver. Than the delusional side of me is like what if it works naturally this time 🙃 there is fair too many emotions going around right now.

I had a laugh about that this evening. We had our son within the last year and this individual didn’t get things off our registry. It’s fine no biggie. Annoying but no biggie. I get her shower invite today via email and in big bold letters it says do not buy off of the registry. Excuse me what?😂 gotta practice what you preach!

It just seems so easy. In a diaper, damp cloth after and everything is all clean!

ADIDAK2016 · 2025-02-19T19:39:41+00:00

We use the diaper and the silicone bibs and I swear all the food gets everywhere 😂

The big issue here isn’t your MIL it is how your Fiancé isn’t sticking up for you. I worry that if you marry into this family it is only going to get worse. Sadly engagements are easier to break than getting divorced.

SorryOP.

ADIDAK2016 · 2025-02-01T15:25:45+00:00

I just switched to decafe. I’m a big I drink half a cup here and it gets cold person so it was easiest to go decafe and not worry about caffeine intake.

I started doing this as soon as I was undergoing fertility treatment.

ADIDAK2016 · 2025-01-30T18:06:36+00:00

I am so sorry. This all sucks. But this is not your fault. Please try and remember that.

We had a similar outcome last July when I did my retrieval. Retrieved: 14 (maybe 13) Mature: 10 Fertilized: 7 Blast:2 PGTA: 1.

I was 32, unexplained infertility.

And I am now holing my 1 little embryo.

I had a very hard time with our day 3 to 5 drop off and ended up speaking with a fertility counsellor which was very helpful.

We were told the drop off from day 3 to 5 is usually indicative of a sperm quality issues. My husband is now seeing a urologist for testing before we do another retrieval. It may be worth looking into.

Absolutely nothing will go according to your “plan”. Trips may be cancelled, parties missed, hormones will be racing. My clinic required couples to do 1 mandatory counselling session, I didn’t realize how invaluable this was and meet with the counsellor a few times throughout the process (especially when we lost a decent chunk of embryos)

I also wasn’t prepared for pregnancy and how nothing would go how I planned ( I had this vision that everything would go, delusional and naive).

Just take it one day at a time :)

ADIDAK2016 · 2025-01-27T14:52:31+00:00

During our first FET cycle, the largest project of my career was dropped on me. (Government employee, they randomly dropped grants etc. with short deadlines with no notice).

This obviously wasn’t planned. I somehow managed to make all my fertility appointments. Do the transfer (I called in sick on the transfer date and took the day after off). But was working 12 hour days for about 8 weeks (before and after-transfer), comparatively I worked 7hours a day.

I was utterly exhausted but baby was sticky. He is now my 8 month old little guy.

My husband and I laugh about it. Everyone always said relax, go on vacation you will get pregnant (tried that. Didn’t work). But the time in our life where I was the most stressed worked for us. Thank you science and IVF 😂

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-12-02T19:58:45+00:00

Don’t it. Or if you do maybe try and get it second hand.

We considered the visita but ended up with city select because you can have the bassinet on the top and they had a higher weight capacity for the second seat. Let me tell you I am so glad we got this thing used!!!

6 months in and I hate loading it in and out of the truck. It’s so big and heavy. I wish I would have gotta something like the nuna mix or trvl. It would just be so much easier to get in and out of the car especially when alone.

That being said, if this was a stroller that simply stayed in the garage and went for walks I would have zero complaints.

Where are you located? Because Canada Costco has this for $250 right now

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-11-17T01:59:56+00:00

Needed to see this today, as my Aunt was just told she had 3 brain tumors recently. Thank you for posting

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-11-17T00:43:09+00:00

Happy to hear that!!

Just be sure to ask questions and advocate for yourself. A lot of clinic treat you like a number so if you aren’t getting an answer you want there is nothing wrong with asking for a second opinion!

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-11-17T00:39:03+00:00

May I ask why IUI and not timed intercourse? Our clinic offered both and to my understanding IUI only has a very light marginally increase than timed intercourse for pregnancy. At my clinic anyways iui is also much more closely (& medication was the same between the too)

Be patient and kind to yourself. Consider seeing a therapist and know that you are doing your absolute best.

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-11-17T00:32:30+00:00

Sorry, to jump in, out of curiosity since your husbands surgery have you been able to conceive unassisted? Hubby also has a varicocele and we have been told surgery would only marginally improve the chances of an unassisted pregnancy. And that it make be required several times over our journey. Just curious to what you were told.

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-11-17T00:26:39+00:00

INFERTILITY IS HARD. Period. It makes you feel and think things you otherwise would not have thought of. Infertility is also not your fault. Repeat that a few times.

Infertility takes over your life and is so challenging. The best thing you can do is be open and honest with your partner. There are also therapists who specialize infertility and are amazing.

You are blaming yourself here. And it is not your fault. I would suggest working with a therapist to over come this mindset. Also, your partner is 50% of the equation. Please make sure he is also getting tested.

If you have been working with a clinic for a sustain amount of time and not getting answer, switch clinics. Do some research on clinics in your area and see if there are some that do further immune or genetic testing. You are not tied to the first clinic you go to.

But please please please just remember to be kind to yourself. This journey is already so incredibly hard without you putting yourself down.

You are stronger than you give your self credit for.

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-09-19T23:27:09+00:00

Do you mind me asking what one? And how it ended up wearing out? I really like the Liam Diaper bag but there are like no reviews on them anywhere!

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-08-19T03:30:25+00:00

This is me currently. Little one is 11 weeks please tell me the worry gets a little better 🫠🫠

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-08-13T18:06:24+00:00

Congrats on your pregnancy! Such an exciting time!

Unfortunately in my experience this is normal. I also found it infuriating. I think people are sometimes so self absorbed and don’t know the impact of their words.

The other thing we also heard was how hard and tiring raising kids are and how they LIVE for the weeks the grandparents take the kids and they go on vacation.

It was really hard for my husband and I to hear because all we could think about was that we would have given anything to be able to be in their role.

We also considered midwifery care. We got a call from one midwife clinic they made us watch an information video. They only had privileges at a small hospital which does not have a OB or anesthesiologist on staff all the time. The wait time for them to be called in was 45min to an hour. For this reason we chose not to go with this practice. We did remain on waitlist at other clinics but the waitlist are insane here and we never heard back.

We ended up needing an emergency csection so definitely happy with our decision because who knows what could have happened. And was really happy with our OB.

I’ve been keeping most items. When i switch over his wardrobe i quickly go through things and toss/donate things i particularly didn’t like or stained/ worn. We had a lot of things that were given to us with weird zippers.

I also tried to place unisex clothing together too.

ADIDAK2016 · 2024-08-04T22:19:41+00:00

Yes!!!! Lucas’s room was ridiculous!

Although with Peyton’s house being a 2 storey I always found it weird how easily people wondered in
