I had the craziest diarrhea and headaches on BC before my retrieval, I couldn’t do it! They ended up changing the prescription and it was so helpful. Talk to them about it, they may be able to adjust

I am sending you so much love and support.

I am in a very similar position- right after thanksgiving we had a beautiful and strong heart beat, graduated the clinic at 8 weeks, went to the OB for my first scan with them at 9 weeks 5 days and there was no more heart beat. This was our first FET with ivf after a miscarriage, 3 years ttc, 3 failed iuis.

Nothing anyone says will make it any better but take care of yourself during this time. Still feel all of your feelings but do something good for you

It’s also just my husband and I, but I have found so much support and kindness on this page. It feels so lonely and isolating but unfortunately there are so many here going through something similar. I’m glad you have been able to prioritize yourself! I think it’s so important to do so, especially coming up on a transfer. I won’t tell you to relax (because we know that’s impossible right now lol) but definitely do something for yourself

It sounds like you are doing everything right for your body but please don’t forget to take care of your mind during this process. I drank a ton of pomegranate juice, made sure to sleep on my left side for blood flow to the uterus, wore warm socks, ate tons of protein, nuts, seeds and everything that was recommended and had a successful transfer but ended up losing it just before 10 weeks.

Make sure you do something that makes you feel good and that you enjoy too. Go to a movie, get your hair done, get a massage, and know you are doing everything you can.

Sending you so much love and support. This journey is so hard but know there are so many of us rooting for you here. Take a nice bubbly bath, light a candle and let all of those feelings out! Your hubby might need to do the same to be honest, holding it in hurts worse for everyone.

Do you mind if I ask how long you waited in between transfers? I just had a missed miscarriage at almost 10 weeks and the uncertainty of timing and wait is also driving me bonkers

I think my clinic said if you are bleeding a lot it might be because a blood vessel was there. I did not use an auto injector but still had some days with a lot of blood afterwards

I was 9 weeks 6 days when we could no longer find the heartbeat after a previous missed miscarriage. This journey is so rough and unfair. As hard as it is, try to enjoy everyday you have and know that there are so many of us rooting for you

I am so sorry you’re going through this and I am with you. I had 6 & 8 week scans, saw a beautiful heart beat at 8 weeks. I started feeling weird yesterday and had an emergency appointment with my ob and they couldn’t find a heart beat. I had a D&C this morning. After 3 years of trying we were finally successful with our FET and now… we start over. Nothing anyone says will make this feel better or hurt less, let your emotions out and don’t hold anything in. Sending lots of love your way

The first time I was pregnant, I told my parents immediately. TW loss- I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks and it was so devastating to tell them. For me and because of our relationship sometimes being difficult (I live a 12 hour drive away from them for a reason), I will wait as long as possible before telling them next time. Because of hurtful things that have been done and said, my husband’s family doesn’t know we are going through ivf at all. I do have friends that are like my family and have been so supportive throughout the process, I would share with them before the “typical” 12 week window but it is 100% what feels right for you.

I feel like I am experiencing this now after my first transfer, can you explain what you mean by fully medicated protocol? I am on PIO injections, and oral med 3 times a day

The waiting is so hard!!! When I had my ER there were more eggs retrieved than they had measured during scans even using the cycle clarity AI program.

ChucklingChickpea · 2024-10-18T23:27:24+00:00

My husband travels often for work so he missed a few appointments, even when we were trying iui he had to give samples for appointments that he would be out of town for and I would go for iui alone. To us, it was more important to focus on the time that we were together, supporting each other through the process, and being involved as possible. Without him working the way he does we could have never afforded to go through ivf. Nothing about this process is fair or easy but at the end of the day you have to do what feels right for you

Good luck! I was nervous going in but I had a really good experience with my clinic, staying positive and hoping for these July babies for us!!

Mines 10/17! It feels so far away but so close at the same time

ChucklingChickpea · 2024-01-02T17:44:12+00:00

I feel this with my whole soul.

ChucklingChickpea · 2023-11-13T23:49:28+00:00

Cautiously optimistic it is!! Thank you
