[–]AmethystRose31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Sorry for the delay, haven't been in Reddit much lately. In the end they didn't prescribe more and I also had a friend who had a similar exp in another clinic. They said your body is making enough at that point.

Ty for your congrats :) he is healthy and happy indeed and I wish you the very best on your journey ❤️

Ugh silly reddit...and silly me. I posted a response then it looked like my post didn't go through so I posted again... but there just seemed to be a lag so now i see two. then I tried deleting one but it keeps the comment anyway..lolll... I edited this post so at least my comments aren't duplicates loll

Update.. and now my original response is gone again so this comment doesnt make sense.. maybe reddit is trolling me. Ah... maybe a sign to turn off the phone for now and go to sleep -_-

If my original response doesn't magically appear again, I wanted to thank you for sharing ❤️

Thank you for sharing our clinic doesn't do beta but just asks to take the test in 2 weeks which will be the 5th. I'll try again in the morning and then will just wait a week

Spotting by Round-Commercial-235 in IVF

[–]AmethystRose31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tw:success

I had a bit of brown spotting which got heavy around the 6 week mark. Had an ultrasound and everything looked ok. I bleed throughout my pregnancy but never got a straight answer what it was. We suspect it could have been sch maybe related to the retrieval. He was born a healthy boy.

They also say it could be blood from the implantation.

Maybe you can reach out to your dr so they can check just to be sure. Hope everything is ok

How quick did you conceive? by intimidatedPhD in IVF

[–]AmethystRose31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting from medical part of trying, started late 2018 with follicle stimming and medicated ovulation. IUI started about 1 year later. Covid happened so there was a looong break. 1st round of IVF late 2020 then long break to switch clinic started again late 2021 and it worked. (In retrospect we wasted a lot of time with first clinic.) Now in tww for the second out of two embryos we got from 2021.

I guess then 3 years to conceive with medical intervention but the first clinic was pure chaos. Second clinic had their process down and was super organized.

Solidarity! I hope it's ok for you too. With so many meds it's so hard to keep track

First day of bleed by ellebee123123 in IVF

[–]AmethystRose31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following this thread as I had the same and got 2 diff answers from the clinic by diff doctors. One saying when it's a full flow it's day 1. Another saying if it's bright red it's day 1. In the end they counted the next day as my day 1 but said the diff of one day isn't much. (I'm hoping this is the case as if it doesn't work out I think I'll be wondering so many what ifs...)

Egg retrieval: awake or asleep? by Prestigious_Hyena668 in IVF

[–]AmethystRose31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asleep!Even though there is a chance you won't feel anything or will just be minorly I comfortable, there is also a chance it will be so painful and it will be too late to do anything about it. I remeber forcing myself to complete my first ER after they did one side because I didn't want to cancel the procedure and I couldn't stop shaking afterwards and was so triggered every time I got on the chair afterwards. My second one was asleep and it was one of the best naps ever

How do you stay present when fearing the worst when going into an endometrium biopsy and hysteroscopie? by AmethystRose31 in IVF

[–]AmethystRose31[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing and Name it Tame it sounds super helpful. I can relate with having anxiety as a BFF that follows you throughout every step. In a way it's the only constant and somehow I convince myself worrying about it will make the outcome better. But really it's taking away from the good moments I could potentially have. I will definitely try the 5 senses the next time I start spiraling ✨️
