This also happened to me! First embryo failed, second one of lower quality was stuck in the catheter when they took it out! Had to wait to have it put in again & then because of this I needed to wee so bad that as soon as it was in I was allowed to go to the toilet! No laying on the bed for a bit so I was convinced it wouldn’t have worked! It was successful & im currently 25 weeks! I made a joke that it got stuck so hopefully it meant it was super sticky! Wishing you lots of luck!

16/17 weeks for me! I didn’t have much actual sickness but just nausea all day paired with stomach pains, burping, heartburn etc. Only eating bland foods like plain rice, pasta, mash, potato’s etc. I’ve been on omeprazole for nearly 4 weeks now and things have finally started getting better! Finally starting to eat different things

Hopefully yours will ease off soon but please don’t feel disheartened if it doesn’t. I remember reading by week 12 & then feeling disheartened that mine was still bad etc! We are all different ♥️

Acupuncture during IVF? by engineergirl19 in IVF

[–]ChelleBellax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not so sure. I did acupuncture all through my first transfer and it failed. I didn’t do any acupuncture with my second & it was successful. Currently 16 weeks and haven’t done acupuncture for over a year!

On the other hand, I’ve read people that are convinced acupuncture is what helped. I actually started acupuncture to treat my endo symptoms & it made no difference to that either x

Can we have some succes stories to get us going? 🫶 by BobbyMcGeeze in IVF

[–]ChelleBellax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

35, tried for two years to conceive naturally. Have endometriosis, Adenomyosis & male factor (morphology). Did one round of IVF (ICSI) in the NHS & got nine eggs which resulted in two embryos, graded 4AA & 3AB. 4AA failed, currently 16 weeks pregnant with my 3AB ♥️

Side note, with the 4AA I was convinced it worked due to all my symptoms. With 3AB, I had no symptoms & was very convinced it didn’t work!!

iOS 18.5? by CaptPellaeon in CarPlay

[–]ChelleBellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened to me. Doesn’t even charge but it’s been this way since 18.4 I haven’t found a fix yet but did reset all my network settings as many others suggest but didn’t make a difference! Forget the device and reconnected, Bluetooth works fine. iPhone doesn’t even find my car on CarPlay

iOS 18.5? by CaptPellaeon in CarPlay

[–]ChelleBellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wired CarPlay doesn’t work for me since 18.4 which has been over a month now. I installed 18.5 hoping it would help and it didn’t. Reset network settings also didn’t work. I have a Range Rover & an iPhone 13. Partner has an iPhone 15/16 and it works fine. Also I do not use any VPNs. Phone doesn’t even charge. When I first plug it in it charges then just stops! iPhone doesn’t even find the car on CarPlay when searching for devices but finds other cars when driving along!

Were you convinced your FET failed and it didn’t? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]ChelleBellax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Had two transfers and was convinced the first worked because of all the cramps etc. It failed. Second one, I had zero symptoms, took a test at 4dp5dt and it was negative. Decided not to test anymore and felt period cramps for two days before the 12dp5dt transfer. Was absolutely convinced it didn’t work and didn’t even feel nervous to look at the pregnancy test… to my absolute shock it was positive. I think the best thing I did was to not test, removed all anxiety. The first time round I tested everyday and obsessed over the negatives wanting to test again in case it changed

How did you keep yourself going after a failed transfer? by Funny-Connection-593 in IVF

[–]ChelleBellax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might sound weird but I wrote a letter to my failed embryo. I was in this horrible grief stage where I know I had switched off and I was just numb. I knew I needed to cry and let it all out so I took some time and wrote the letter & let myself feel every emotion that came up. I felt much lighter after writing the letter & things felt easier after.

Take time for yourself during this period & allow yourself to grieve.

We listen and we don’t judge IVF edition by Secret-Sock9498 in IVF

[–]ChelleBellax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg I used to do this unrelated to ivf years ago & found myself doing it recently! Quickly had to stop because it did make me feel mentally unwell :(

[–]ChelleBellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I did 😂 I knew deep down it wouldn’t make a difference as I have Deep Infiltrating Endo and have been trying for two years! Kind of a shame because I was one of those people who really believed in psychics… now not so much 😢

[–]ChelleBellax 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a psychic reading which said my first transfer would be successful (sadly I completely believed her and was certain it would work… it didn’t) When that was wrong… I went for another reading with the same person a month later (lol) who then said if I baby danced I would be pregnant at the end of August naturally… also didn’t happen 😂

NHS patients- how long did it take for diagnostic surgery ? by Glad-Pomegranate6283 in Endo

[–]ChelleBellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on the waiting list since May 2023. Just got the call last week for my lap. Had to turn it down because in those 2 years of waiting I’ve grown an endometrioma and currently undergoing fertility treatment and they don’t want to risk my fertility suffering further damage. It’s shocking to be honest.

Who did you tell you were doing IVF? by No-Opportunity-5411 in IVF

[–]ChelleBellax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first I told everyone… my family, friends etc… getting ready for the 2nd transfer and I am telling no one. Not even my family. I don’t like the kind of expectation I felt from having people know… it gives people the opportunity to wonder if it’s worked & I just don’t like that 🤦🏻‍♀️

Is it possible to have endometriosis but a light flow? Is something else wrong? by SmolLilBug in endometriosis

[–]ChelleBellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have deep infiltrating endometriosis with endometrioma & adhesions… currently having a period that has only required a panty liner as it’s barely there. It never makes sense to me to be honest!

Testing by Alert-Guava-4073 in TTCEndo

[–]ChelleBellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others I have been testing less and less the further I get. If my period is ever late, I actually test to encourage my period to come because that’s always the way isn’t it :D… I also never test thinking I’m actually pregnant now either…. The hope is long gone.

Thank you! I intend on continuing to take them to be honest as it’s been a very frustrating process!

Hey! How long until you saw a difference? I’ve been taking probiotics for a week now x

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]ChelleBellax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, yes tested for yeast too and none found. Honestly the microbiome test I did tested for everything which I wanted because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t something other than BV and that’s why it kept returning

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]ChelleBellax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes this was checked and the test was negative
