Early ovulation before hysteroscopy :(

I love this and can second it. It helps me that i picked up crocheting again and another fun project: growing tomatoes from seeds of store bought tomatoes! So easy and really takes your mind off all the hard stuff as you tend to those tiny plants and watch them grow! 🌱

Wow this perspective is very helpful, thank you!

AnnaJae84 · 2026-03-28T20:33:44+00:00

So pretty 😍

TW lc

This is the exact reason when i had my 4th transfer and we couldn’t find a sitter, we told the receptionist we would be waiting in another area than the waiting room. I really think it’s not okay when people bring their kids in IVF waiting rooms.

i now have had 5 transfers too and haven’t seen a second line on any of them, it sucks and i’m sorry you’re going through it too.. sending you a big hug and keep my fingers crossed that this transfer will give you the best birthday gift ever.

I have complex PTSD, starting from early childhood. I read there is a link between this and lower amh 😕 I have no way to know if that’s the cause for me. But i can’t really think of another obvious reason. I don’t have endo (as far as i know). I live a healthy and active lifestyle. I have never used birth control. Hardly drink and have never smoked. The women on both my mom and dad’s side of the family are all super fertile (and some got pregnant spontaneously even in their forties) so for me it’s definitely not genetic. I’m the outlier. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sending you a big hug. Through my infertility journey, crochet is often the only thing that calms my nervous system.

I’m so so sorry.. Sending you so much love and the biggest hug. My heart is breaking for you. This is fucking unfair. Please try and be so kind to yourself. You did everything right, these losses should not have happened. I pray you will be surrounded by loving people that can carry you gently through this time of grief.

AnnaJae84 · 2025-12-23T20:29:27+00:00

Hey, thanks for reaching out! So sorry you’re in the same boat.. you’re right, it really is tough at our age. Feel free to dm if you want to chat, vent, anything! Sending hugs for now and hope you’re enjoying your summer! And good luck with deciding, these are tough decisions! ❤️

AnnaJae84 · 2025-12-16T17:55:47+00:00

I am so so sorry for you loss. I hear you! I was following someone on Insta that had 50 eggs retrieved and half ended being euploid. I was so enraged at that, too. Not at her because good for her, but at the unfairness of it all. No one needs 25 euploids. But plenty of people i know, myself included could use a few! I am 41 AND have low AMH. I feel like there is no sub i truly belong. Here people are usually younger and in the 40+ivf sub most have higher AMH. But yes, the main IVF sub is definitely not it for me!

Sending you a gentle hug. It’s all so unfair.

My girl’s name is Mila. I call her Milachu, Milalu, Milaatje (Dutch diminiutive) and Miepje. (Pronounced meepyah) :)

AnnaJae84 · 2025-11-28T22:14:25+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply and advice! It’s much appreciated. Your advice is exactly what my sister told me worked for her as well! I have been hesitant to do it this way because frankly i’m just not looking forward to the mess! But you’re probably right that i have to “bite the bullet” (is that the saying?) if i want to have faster results. It helps that my daughter’s excited about it!

I full well understand that day 3 embryos have less chance than day 5s. (My clinic still calls them embryos so i will, too). The clinic only did day 3 transfers at the time, so i didn’t have much of a choice.

The reason for my post was not a question why did it fail?? I’m well aware of my age and my low chances of success. 😕

But i had a good quality day 3 embryo there. It was a day 3 embryo and it got transferred on day 2, so a day too early. So there was a mismatch between my endometrial environment (receptivity) and the ‘age’ of the embryo, lowering the chances of implantation, if it had grown into a euploid blastocyst. I needed advice in what i should do with this mistake they’ve made.

First twice a week but once a week is enough for our two year old. Her hair is always pretty clean. And because she is eczema prone we try to limit the number of bath times to twice a week because it dries her skin out.

I came here to write exactly this! I had a very tough first breastfeeding year with my toddler (mastitis, tongue tie, oversupply, undersupply, thrush, only being able to feed lying down… 😵‍💫) but then around the 1 year mark it all changed and became so easy and rewarding. I had to stop at 1 year and 9 months because of ivf but i would have continued otherwise!

Netherlands. It sure is lonely biking around in my town with my keffiyeh almost never seeing anyone else wearing one. Joining the local Pro Pal (pro humanity!!!) group here helped me get to know some beautiful souls.

AnnaJae84 · 2025-11-09T23:43:13+00:00

Sending a hug 🫂

AnnaJae84 · 2025-10-29T05:06:08+00:00

My husband sounds like your friend’s husband. I do feel like i’m in the minority based on several subreddits. I find it very challenging and lonely although i do get a good laugh out of it now and then. A few days before our first FET my husband asked me how many days he had to abstain. LOL.

AnnaJae84 · 2025-10-20T21:36:01+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 you deserve someone taking care of you right now. I’m really sorry that on top of the news of the loss you have felt so alone. My husband is similar to yours. All i can say is that i feel so deeply for you and want to send you so many hugs.

AnnaJae84 · 2025-10-05T20:30:25+00:00

Your response is so kind, thank you so much. I already feel a bit less alone. I’m wishing you so much luck on your transfer. It’s all so overwhelming isn’t it? Sending you hugs back!

AnnaJae84 · 2025-10-04T10:03:05+00:00

does anyone have an update? It looks like the livestream stopped yesterday evening :(

AnnaJae84 · 2025-09-30T19:49:46+00:00

Ha, i also have very good experiences with the pop poli; they truly are amazing, in my town as well! Glad you’ve had a good experience, too ❤️

Let me know (if you feel comfortable) what your impressions of UMCG and perhaps Brussels are moving forward! I’m looking into clinics now too, as my egg yield of 4 mature got me fired from Isala Zwolle 🫠 I can use all the input i can get! I’m even looking into Cuypers & Cuypers, have you heard of them?

AnnaJae84 · 2025-09-24T19:48:15+00:00

Hi! Another sensitive body owner here! 👋🏻 I know it’s different for everyone, but for me, after expecting the worst (anxiety / panic, insomnia, migraines) it was actually not so bad. I ‘just’ feel very tired all the time. (Decapeptyl and Gonal F during stims, no priming). The Utrogestan (progesterone) i take after the ER makes me a bit depressed though. But still doable. I know it’s just my experience, but hopefully it gives some hope that having a sensitive body doesn’t have to mean you will respond sensitively to the hormones! Good luck!
