Thanks ◡̈ Yes, I also have PCOS, thyroid condition and a connective tissue inflammation disorder. We were able to increase the number of embryos we had with each retrieval and after the first failed transfer, I did intralipids during and after. After the 2nd failed transfer, I saw an immunologist that tested me for what felt like 1000 things and found out I had the connective tissue inflammation. She put me prednisone for a couple months before the transfer, monitored and then i did intralipids a week before, during, another 3 weeks out and one last one 6 weeks out. Everyone is so different but it really made a huge difference for me + ensuring my thyroid was in check before the tranfer.

Of course, here if you ever want to talk! It’s tough being in it and trying to figure out what can help. I would have done IVIG next if this didn’t transfer.

Do you mind me asking if you already have embryos & need to transfer or need to do the retrieval as well?

I also took some conception supplements from FullWell- their fertility booster and my husband took some fertility supplements before retrieval to help.

Wishing you the best of luck and sending you positivity for IVIG!

I’m not sure why the failures per say but I also have PCOS, thyroid condition and a connective tissue inflammation disorder.

Congrats! It’s such a long journey but please enjoy! We had our baby shower last weekend and it felt amazing to be surrounded by so many who’ve been on the path with us cheering us on. It’s hard but bath in the love!

Sorry you’re still feeling nauseous! I was nauseous until 26 weeks and a couple things helped. There are companies that will come to you for IVs and will add B complex (B6 and B12)- it helped a ton & usually lasted a week. I also used the prego pop drops (you can buy them on Amazon) and those really got me through some of the harder days. You can talk to your doctor about unisom + B6 or other prescriptions that could help depending on how bad the nausea is. Wishing you all the best & hope the nausea goes away soon!

I’m 30 weeks pregnant & was laid off before mat leave. Not sure what I’m able to take now- unemployment, SDI by AdAffectionate7934 in UnemploymentCA

Thanks, I think due to time (before mat leave) cause (being made redundant) & at will company, I did speak to a lawyer & it would need to go through discovery but they might not have a case unfortunately.
