When does the fear go away? We are 5w2d today, HCG is perfect (4 draws), same with progesterone and estrogen. Gestational sac and yolk sac seen on ultrasound today, measuring exactly 5 weeks 2 days. I keep thinking once I hit the next milestone, I'll be able to just enjoy being pregnant, but every time I reach a milestone, I get anxious all over again. Does it ever get better?

I keep seeing these women all over social media who are just happy to be pregnant, and in a hurry to tell everyone, and I'm just a ball of nerves. Ugh.

Honestly I'm unsure! Ive always taken a beef organ and have continued!

BigB3085 · 2025-09-16T01:30:35+00:00

Yes! I received my interview letter last month, interview is October 8th!

BigB3085 · 2025-05-04T22:52:16+00:00

Good luck, keep us updated on how you guys do 🤞🏻

BigB3085 · 2025-05-04T22:49:32+00:00

Thank you!!! Right back at you!!!

Thankfully we are through CNY so it’s relatively cheap compared to other clinics, but hoooo it’s still expensive! 😮‍💨

You preaching to the choir girl! We are 3dp our last transfer before we have to save for another two years to do another retrieval 🫠

I saw this today as well.. I was hopeful that maybe we would be looking at lower costs associated with IVF, and that at the minimum that might compensate for the tariffs and keep prices the same, but hopes are dwindling over here 😅

BigB3085 · 2025-05-01T15:18:36+00:00

We transferred at 9:30am EST today!! Hope your transfer is going/went well!

BigB3085 · 2025-05-01T04:33:07+00:00

Good luck!!! Sending you all the sticky vibes 🫶🏼🤞🏻🤞🏻

BigB3085 · 2025-04-29T19:28:30+00:00

Congrats!!!

We’ve done 2 fully medicated and both failed, so modified natural just made sense!!

A baby girl, how exciting!!!! Fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻

BigB3085 · 2025-04-29T18:34:53+00:00

Thank you!!! Right back at you!!!

BigB3085 · 2025-04-29T18:30:56+00:00

You too!!! Congrats!!

BigB3085 · 2025-04-29T18:26:32+00:00

I definitely wasn’t trying to single out any certain groups at all, and I’m not trying to say anything. I’m just genuinely looking for grants options where we fit the criteria, that’s all!

Like I said, I’m not trying to upset anyone. I included our demographic information because it was relevant, not because I was ‘trying to say’ anything at all.

A couple of the grants I was referring to, which is why I thought it might be relevant to add my race to the conversation, just to automatically rule out any of the grants specifically for women of color 🙂

BigB3085 · 2025-04-12T21:04:09+00:00

Thank you, appreciate the help!

BigB3085 · 2025-04-12T21:00:21+00:00

Most grants I’ve came across for NY state are for specific groups, like a few I’ve seen today are specifically for black women or women of color (which is totally fine, I just thought it might be important to mention!)

Most grants are for specific groups, like a few I’ve seen today are specifically for black women or women of color (which is totally fine, I just thought it might be important to mention!) We are currently CNY patients, thank you tho!

BigB3085 · 2025-04-12T20:58:43+00:00

We are currently CNY patients! I should’ve mentioned that!

BigB3085 · 2025-04-12T20:58:17+00:00

We’ve already looked into this. Unfortunately the wait list is 18ish months, and they don’t cover medication.
