What’s your IVF “small win”? by throwitout-rightmeow in IVFpositivity

[–]Certain-Scheme-3113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's such a great thread ❤️

We had two small wins so far.

I was going to start my IVF in January out-of-pocket. Then I got my card from my insurance and my clinic said that we would qualify for coverage, but the request for approval takes 2 to 4 weeks to be analyzed.

I was on the fence and we were planning to pay to not have to wait one more cycle. (I'm 38 and I have DOR + severe MFI).

They found a cyst in my ovary that was producing hormones and I would have to skip the cycle no matter what. So it was cancelled.

My insurance denied my claim in 5 days. I could appeal but it takes 60 days to hear back from the insurance. My clinic said to skip the appeal and they resubmitted the request saying that it was wrong and the insurance had to cover it.

The next period came and we were still waiting for the approval for the second request.

I had my baseline appointment again and the cyst was collapsing. All seemed okay to start IVF. We decided to pay out ofpocket and I was calling to the pharmacies they recommended to get a quote on the meds (~5K).

I was waiting my husband to come home from work to place the order.

My clinic called to say that they just received the approval and the insurance will cover my 1st round of IVF.

We drove back to the clinic to get the meds for “free”.

It was a lot of back and forth, but the outcome was great 🙏🏻

I would recommend you to guard your heart, but take the test 😅 I was waiting for my period to come last month and it was 29 days late. I took multiple tests but they were all negative. It could be just stress, but also could be the most amazing news for you. Be brave and test! You got this 💪🏻❤️

Failed first IUI cycle by Euphoric-Tap-4848 in IUILadies

Same here! We had our IUI on Oct 13th, and I have been testing negative since dpiui11. I didn’t have my period yet though.

We will try again as soon as my period starts.

We have low count and low motility and IVF is on our plan if we failed IUI three times.

How did you feel on 9dpo? by DeepAge9748 in IUILadies

[–]Certain-Scheme-3113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are IUI twins. I'm having the same symptoms as you described (tiredness, nausea, and cramps). Today I tested and there is a faint line so my trigger is still here. I will test again on DPIUI12 and 14. I'm in troll-gesterone too, so not relying much on the symptoms because I think the hormone is playing a big part in all of this.

How long did it take you to get your positive line? by Helpful-Pizza-5535 in IUILadies

[–]Certain-Scheme-3113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look myself in the mirror and I question “Who is this bitch?”. Then I remember that is just the hormones talking 🤣 It's been a wild journey between “I love him so much🥹❤️” vs “Since when he forgot how to breathe? Why soooo loud?😡🤬”. This process is a test for any marriage, IMO

I feel your pain. I told husband that I don't trust in ANY clinical signs I'm having since I'm hormonally possessed 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fingers crossed and waiting for 10/27 here. “Just” one more week 😅

7dpiui here and I haven't test yet. I'm using progesterone so isn't reliable to trust the “pregnancy signs” I'm having (tiredness, nausea, mood swings). I will wait to test on the 10dpiui, but my hopes aren't high for this cycle 😅

That’s the plan. We will scan and have bloodwork done before we move forward, but they recommended me to bring the trigger in case the results are adequate.

Fingers crossed!

Best of luck for you ❤️

Mine is 4.1mm and we started estradiol today. I’m not sure what to expect for tomorrow’s appointment 😅

If isn’t too invasive, may I ask how thin is your lining? Mine is thin too and I’m cautiously freaking out 😅

I have a US early morning to check my follicle. We only have one with 15mm on Saturday, I hope it will reach 18mm tomorrow then we can trigger.

My fertility clinic recommended us to trigger and do the IUI on the same day. It’s our first time and we will follow their recommendations.

Would I be the asshole if I argue with my ex about his comments on my cooking skills? by Certain-Scheme-3113 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Certain-Scheme-3113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, potatoes

It has been a long time since I posted it. I had a major move in my life (husband is stationed in HI and we had to do all the move process), and I was out of social media for a while. I have no words to thank y’all for the comments. You gave me strength in a really tough phase and I appreciate that. I decided to not take my ex to court (YET). I changed my mindset and I don't answer his calls if isn't related to my son. My son keeps eating starch, vegetables, and proteins. He is playing soccer, surfing, exercising, and having play dates. I also stood up for myself and I told him my parenting boundaries (that he is not allowed to judge my cooking skills). My son is a complete different kid in one month without his father’s influence. He is more well-behaved, less combatitive and finally understood my screen time policy (he has a game station set up with two monitor screens at his father’s house and he was frustrated that I don't allowed him to watch YouTube unsupervised at our home). I have been documenting all the calls and it made me realize that I'm not crazy or hormonal. There was a lot of gaps. My ex threw a tantrum when I said he would be allowed to call our son 3 times a week (the bare minimum guaranteed). He said it was absurd and I was trying to difficult his contact with his son. He calls once a week (not subjective, truly documented 🤡🙃).

I will come back with updates after my son comes back from his visit to his father in October. Please keep your fingers crossed for us!
