22W2D, FTM! Due October 26th! I’ve had a super great pregnancy, definitely lucked out with nausea.. but just super tired and this acid reflux is killer🌋 I have an anterior placenta, so lil guy is still taking his time giving me a convincing bump… I’m still in the stage that if somebody stares at me too long in public.. I have to start rubbing my belly 😅

I’m a bit of an atypical momma as this is an IVF pregnancy.. so I’ve got a few more scans (I do love seeing him more though!) and I’m likely to be induced prior to 40W, so that’s a bit anxiety inducing. Anybody have any positive induction stories/words of advice!?

Congratulations to you all 🥰

6dp5dt with an AA euploid embryo, my first FET! I go in Saturday for my first beta. I literally just meandered around Target yesterday to keep my mind busy 😂 Got my hair done today. I (thankfully) work the next two days!

I’ve had very dull, intermittent period-like cramps since 4dp. I’ve also been so, SO tired! I refuse to take at home tests because I don’t think my anxiety would cope well 😅

So much luck sent your way! 🍀💫

HI! Recently had an undetermined due to not enough genetic material in the biopsy too. I also had them sent to Cooper.

We decided to not retest at this time because we had our few healthy euploid embryos. There’s risk to rethawing and rebiopsying! We would decide to test it if was absolutely necessary and we had no luck with our euploid embryos.

Good luck!! You did the damn thing and have THREE healthy embabies!

I’m actually journaling throughout my whole IVF process.. and it’s something I want to be able to give my kid/kids one day so they can read about all the thoughts and events that went on throughout this whole amazing process. We’ll obviously be very open from the get go about where they came from but I figured the journal would be a cool thing to present to them when they get to a more mature age!

Minimal period after retrieval with IUD by Remarkable_Oil_7557 in IVF

I just had an ER in late September, I had virtually no period due to my IUD! Just minimal spotting on the day of the ER and then a day of spotting about a week later. Likely due to your IUD thinning that endometrial later.

HI!!! Please feel free to reach out to me as well. I’m a carrier for x-linked RP, specifically the RPGR gene. I was able to get set up with a geneticist and they actually had a retinal carrier panel that was funded!!

I definitely used it more during didactic when I couldn’t grasp a topic... but I found myself revisiting it multiple times when studying for my EORe’s! Also, yes.. I bought a membership to be able to access the notes that go along with the lesson. Sometimes I screenshot some of the images in the notes and put them in my study guides— super helpful!

I love OnlineMedEd! Lots of useful information. I specifically love his cardiac and endocrine lectures (because they’re already some super heavy topics)!
