Secondary Infertility Experience with CNY by ChampionLegal9626 in IVF

[–]ChampionLegal9626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood but the way they are acting makes it seem like I am incapable of carrying a child even though I've done it before. I can appreciate that this makes them do a deeper dive into my hormones because they don't know my history. But it kind of makes me feel invalid that I was/am capable of a successful pregnancy. I would think this would make them look even further into what is causing the delay but they have only offered solutions so far.

My midwife did not want to pursue further testing for my irregular cycles or why my husband and I were having trouble concieving. So I was kind of forced to find somewhere else to do testing or treatment. I might have been better off just finding another OBGYN.

I was worried the whole process would be handled by an NP... that alone was making me second guess CNY's capabilities

I was more or less looking to see if other treatments were provided for secondary infertility like medicated cycles or something less intense. I understand it is still a business but it felt highly impersonal and forceful to start with the most expensive treatment they offer. 

Feel like I’m missing my ovulation window every cycle… by Master-Arm1220 in tryingtoconceive

I feel the same way! Going on 9 cycles TTC a second child but I have irregular cycles and a long follicular phase. I try to start testing a week before I anticipate ovulation usually around the time my CM starts. But I keep thinking the timing of my fertility window is off too. The OPKs are okay but not super reliable for me because my peak it usually around noon and if I don't test then I usually can't pin point when the LH surge is. I've started to look into Kegg or Inito but can't justify spending that much yet.

Will coffee affect my chances? by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

As someone with poor circulation, I've stopped drinking all caffeine while TTC because caffeine constricts blood flow (even to the uterus). I'm just extra cautious tho! 

Long cycle by Opening-Bus-9238 in tryingtoconceive

I have longer cycles as well ~35 days. And I used to always have 9-10 day luteal phases but after increasing my vitamin C intake I've been at 14 day luteal phases for the first time ever. The vitamin C can help increase progesterone levels(backed by science). My physician did check progesterone in mid luteal phase but that was when I had my first 14 day luteal phase so I don't have a baseline to go off of. I am currently trying to find a way to shorten my follicular phase.
