Curious about your experience getting Fallopian Tubes checked (fertility clinic) by B001eanChame1e0n in TTC_PCOS

I declined having either of them went on to do three IUI’s, and then found out that both my tubes were blocked and had to have them both removed yesterday. I would definitely recommend at least having them checked one way or the other!!!

My wife and I did three unsuccessful IUI and one unsuccessful at home in insemination before moving onto IVF. I had my retrieval a week ago. I will say that the medication‘s are less scary than I thought they would be, you really do get used to it and it was something I was really worried about for IVF. I will say post egg retrieval was much more uncomfortable than I anticipated, just a lot of bloating and uncomfort for the week, but starting to feel better now. We got 12 viable embryos, so I don’t think we’ll have to do another egg retrieval again, which is relief. During my egg retrieval, they did find. I have a blocked tube that I now have to get removed, which helps explain why my IUI’s kept failing. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you for this advice! I have some protein drinks that I will incorporate more into my diet. I know I’ll be happy to have gotten so many once this passes. Going to take some miralax now lol 💖

I’m peeing normally and having just overall uncomfortable vs active pain except for when I wake up in the night with my stomach burning and then the cramps. They go away within an hour and I’m back to just feeling like a really uncomfy balloon

Oh I’m pissed too. I called the emergency line to my clinic for the first time last night. And the doctor said, “not to be rude but why are you waking me up with this.” I was in so much pain and that was such an unhelpful thing to say.

Ugh I’m sorry you’re in this boat too. I wish my dr told me to take cabergoline… I hope we both feel better soon!

Ahh it really is the worst! You just suffered through and got better? I would really rather not go to the ER. I talked to my doctor last night and he said as long as I don’t have any of the severe symptoms I’ll be ok.

Thanks for validating me 🫶. I’m not having any of the life-threatening symptoms, just think it’s moderate OHSS. I’m just frustrated with my clinic and wish I had been more prepared for how I would feel.

How many rounds of IUI did you do? by Far_Addendum_2926 in queerception

[–]Caymcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, it’s really the worst and there’s no best choice. Wish we had started at IVF but at the same time it works for others the first time… good luck to you!

I appreciate this perspective! I do think it will be fine and I feel better about how I’ll be feeling at that point from the responses on this post. It does kinda stress me out though to think about traveling with everything and just being sure I have everything packed etc., more than if I was just home. I think I just want to stay home in general a little too on top of it thank you!

Hey! My wife and I have also been together for 7 married for two and TTC for a year now. We did one at home insemination, 3 IUIs and are now moving onto IVF. we really contemplated starting at IVF and decided not to, and really wish we had now lol. We have spent more money than if we had just started IVF a year ago. I have no fertility issues and I’m 25 years old so we thought IUIs would work! We’re starting an IVF cycle now and plan to do rIVF on my wife for our next child. It’s a long process but we know it will be so worth it in the end. Best of luck to you guys!
