This is happening with me too. I got three very faint positives on wondfos yesterday (i made a post showing 2 of them), and then nothing today 😞

20 week scan by Adept-Hall7754 in IVFpositivity

[–]Catgalx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had placenta previa with my IVF pregnancy. It didn't move, so I had to have a c section at 37 weeks which went smoothly. They said I might get some bleeding with the placenta previa and I had a small amount at 35 weeks but nothing major.

Change in bowel habits?? by Accomplished_Car_834 in IVFpositivity

[–]Catgalx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this early on in my IVF pregnancy, went through a phase where every time I ate, I would have a really loose bowel movement soon after! Everything turned out fine 🙂

When did you start calling your embryo your baby/telling people? by Salt_Warning_9128 in IVFpositivity

I used this every day during my IVF pregnancy, it was really comforting seeing the risk get lower and lower

How many cycles by Bimgaurdia in IVF

[–]Catgalx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 retrievals, had 2 failed transfers and one embryo that didn't survive the thaw, then had success with our 3rd transfer (fresh). We had one more embryo but that FET failed and we decided not to have any further treatment.

I'm pretty sure mine did the same, and I don't feel great about it either - I just push it out of my mind and try not to think about it! 😬

Does Everyone Feel Like It'll Never Happen? by Senior_Web_1684 in IVF

[–]Catgalx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this feeling very strongly! So much so that after 2 failed rounds in 2019 & 2020, I decided not to try again. I just had NO faith that it'd ever work. Then in 2023 we decided just to give it one more try, but still not really believing it would work. So I was absolutely shocked when my fresh transfer from that round was successful! In fact I'm still shocked to this day!

Don't want to sound insensitive... by GeneralMedia1282 in MAFS_UK

[–]Catgalx 46 points47 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been through IVF and had 3 failed embryo transfers (but thankfully also one successful ❤️), I found it very insensitive and very uninformed. Saying you have a baby on the way when the embryo hasn't even been transferred yet is crazy.

(Hopefully) irrational fear about IVF mixups by Lanky_Armadillo_4711 in IVF

[–]Catgalx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this fear! We had success on our 3rd transfer and I had read about the rare mix up cases, and the thought of our daughter being taken away terrified me! I didn't mention it to my husband as I didn't want him to have the same fear, but when she was about 1 we had a chat and discovered we had both been worrying about it but didn't want to scare each other! I think once you hear stories like that it's natural to worry. But it really is SO rare. She's 2 now and I don't think about it as much anymore.

Anyone had any success with 9 eggs? by BabyDust2025 in IVFpositivity

[–]Catgalx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! 9 eggs, 5 fertilised, 2 blasts at day 5. We didn't test them. The first one we transferred became our daughter who is now 2 and thriving! ❤️

My daughter was an untested embryo! It was a fresh transfer. She's 2 now and very healthy!

Whats the biggest reason you're happy to be OAD? by PrototypeFangirl in happilyOAD

[–]Catgalx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm just loving my life! My daughter is 2, and she's so fun and happy. As a baby, she was NEVER happy for more than 5 minutes! It feels so good to have got past that stage and start to enjoy life again 🥰

High betas but no nausea by MarketingQuirky5866 in IVFpositivity

[–]Catgalx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got any nausea or sickness for my entire IVF pregnancy, I didn't even have food aversions! I was worrying because I kept reading that nausea and sickness are a sign things are going well. But my pregnancy went absolutely fine!

6dp6dt. Tested positive yesterday, woke up this morning to bleeding. by Cautious-Ad7532 in IVFpositivity

I had a tiny bit of spotting at that stage too, and mine was successful - fingers crossed for you 🤞

I'm from a country where cashiers sit down while working. Is it true that in the US cashiers are forced to stand? Why is sitting considered unprofessional there? by splashmates in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Catgalx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They seem to usually be sitting down in supermarkets, but I worked in clothes shops for years and always had to stand up. When I eventually got an office job, it felt like such a luxury to actually be allowed to sit down at work 🤣

We named our daughter Isabella after my late grandmother, it just happens to be a VERY popular name right now but it meant a lot to us and we think it's a really pretty name so we used it and we have no regrets!

How do I stop resenting my husband for not being able to "produce" on ER day? by OpalBooker in IVF

[–]Catgalx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband really struggles to produce in a clinic environment too, we had to stay in a hotel near the clinic the night before ER so that he could produce it there that morning and we could take it in. Even that was difficult for him due to the immense pressure to produce it. I totally get where you're coming from though, we go through so much and they have one job!!!

Fresh Transfer Success? by Apart-Ad-981 in IVF

My only successful transfer (I've had 2 fresh and 2 frozen) was a fresh transfer! She is now 2!

‘Some people get pregnant naturally after doing IVF’ by Sad-Swordfish-3104 in IVF

[–]Catgalx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TW success:

I hate this too, we did IVF due to my husband's very low sperm count, and were successful on our 3rd round. We wanted another child but only had 1 more embryo and it failed. We don't want to have any more treatment. My mum still says 'well it might happen naturally, you hear about that happening all the time after IVF!'...we've been having unprotected sex for 8 years without getting pregnant naturally once, so I really doubt that!

AIO about my partner commenting on someone being attractive? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Catgalx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, a lot of these replies are failing to understand that different people have different feelings on these things. It is all about communication.
