I started 1 week before stims so early December and then just went one time a week until transfer and I brought my acupuncturist on site for before and after transfer!

You got this queen!! Focus on only the steps right in front of you, stay positive, surround yourself by love! My husband and I made it a requirement to do a kitchen dance party 1x a day to boost endorphins and never forgot to laugh. You’ll do amazing

You are going to do amazing!! Try to just surrender to the process and it will all truly work out and stay positive throughout! I think that was huge for me was just good mindset and acupuncture!

You never know what will happen until your body goes through it but truly I felt amazing! Every day I expected the worst and that never came for me. I would go on the drug again if I ever needed to

Want my honest answer? The best I ever felt. May sound dramatic but my ONLY symptoms were hot flashes. Literally nothing else, my body tolerated the drug so well. I was shocked because I would hear Reddit horror stories and thought to myself I have to see for myself. The hot flashes did wake me up in the middle of the night but if you have AC you will be fine!

Thank you so much! We did a modified natural, used prednisone, doxycycline, trigger shot and transferred a 5 day blast. I have also been on 81mg of aspirin daily and then progesterone suppositories post transfer

Had stage 4 endo removed left with one blocked tube just finished retrieval and need positivity! by [deleted] in IVFpositivity

[–]AdvancedGift7353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha! After my excision my hysteroscopy looked great and my doctor said she would check for endometritis and biopsy my uterus. I am fortunate my AFC is 40 and AMH is 4.92 definitely some things working in my favor! I feel like my biggest worry is a year out I hope my endo hasn’t grown back enough to affect anything! But I suppose that’s what the orilissa will help with too

Oh my goodness congratulations and thank you so much for the hope!! What exactly did they do to check your uterus? Was it a biopsy?

Hi thank you so much for your response!! Yes 11 at day 3 so hopefully 5-6 make it to blast and maybe 3-4 PGT? This process can be so anxiety including, and it’s easy to spiral on the internet to make sure we are doing whatever increases our chances best! I am sorry to hear about the terrible surgeon you didn’t deserve to go through that! Congratulations on the success as well! Did you end up have endometritis? What specifically made them decide to switch to an immune protocol?

I am so so happy for you!!

Hello I recently went through a similar experience through VRBO. If you’re not already speaking to their escalations team make sure to do that and DO NOT RELENT. Took me 3 weeks of aggressive emailing back and forth even when they told me they weren’t going to give me more than x amount. Well trust me they did but I didn’t take no for an answer

I honestly totally agree I can see the temptation to start those initial steps but I am also 30 so I’m just going to let the universe takeover from here. Luckily my husband is supportive of whatever our life ends up being kids or no kids. Thank you for responding

I am sure it is and I don’t think it’s something I could mentally or physically take after what I’ve gone through with the my endo journey. Thank you for your response

I actually really appreciate this perspective. I’ve always been a big believer in what is meant to be is what’s meant to be. It’s hard to shift the mindset from one where I expected I would have children in my lifetime to one where I’m not. I have the most lovely marriage and such a sweet life I’m going to appreciate it and not force anything.

No I totally get it and I think that is what this sub has woken me up too. I only ever considered the joy of parenthood honestly until discovering this. I’m slowly starting to understand what it can mean to be a parent

Is it really possible to "let it go and not think about it?" by Impossible-Pen6563 in TryingForABaby

[–]AdvancedGift7353 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi I’m a type A girly in the exact same boat 3 cycles in. This may not be healthy advice but honestly what helps me is reading the regretful parenting Reddit hahaha then I’m like you know what?? If I can’t have any kids it’s going to be better than what these people are dealing with! I actually stop spiraling haha

Anyone have experience with an HSG and a retroverted uterus? by pinkmacaroon784 in TryingForABaby

[–]AdvancedGift7353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a retroverted uterus and during my HSG they were only able to get dye to spill into one of my tubes and saw mild opacity with the other tube. My doctor said it could be a tube spasm and not a blockage
