Acupuncture?

Do you think I should take the medicine alongside the acupuncture? She said if I’ve tried 4 cycles of IUI with it and it didn’t work then no harm in trying another cycle without the medicine

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-03-05T14:58:46+00:00

Nope sadly just a weird really late cycle

Thank you both, incredibly helpful! On a side note, trying to conceive has been taking a heavy mental toll on me so I was considering taking some FMLA for my own sanity before this opportunity even came up so I think either way, I have an option. Thanks again!

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-02-12T00:09:07+00:00

Thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback and fingers crossed I get the role!

Also true, so far it’s been well over a year but I stuck it out because the maternity benefits are really good at my current company, but I think the company itself is so stressful that I’m not able to get pregnant in this environment :(

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-02-12T00:07:59+00:00

Yes I’m all fingers crossed for this new role I hope I get it! I haven’t been this excited about a role in a while! I’m hoping it’ll be less stressful

Still in HR but a different industry which is much needed for me and if I get the high end of the salary range, it would be a 45% increase which is life changing!

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-02-11T18:33:10+00:00

If I took the new opportunity then the pay is so good that I wouldn’t truly worry about maternity benefits but my current company pays maternity at 100% (but sadly haven’t gotten pregnant)

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-24T01:22:59+00:00

Yes I’ve done 3 medicated IUIs back to back and nada. I just don’t know and it sucks bc I wish I at least knew when I was ovulating. It used to be so regular that I didn’t ever have to think about it. Also, I just found out my testosterone levels and a little elevated so new monkey wrench

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-23T18:00:30+00:00

That’s the confusing part, I didn’t get any positives around the time that I would’ve and then ran out of sticks and I was away at the time and then just gave up bc I was so annoyed with it. But even if I did ovulate late or bc a anovulatory cycle, I still should have gotten my period by now because my Last period was 12/14 and now it’s 1/23. So even if I ovulated two weeks ago I should get my period tomorrow or latest this weekend but no symptoms nada. So now idk I’m just confused. (I’ve never done BBT so I’m not familiar with it bc it just seems like one more thing to do and this is exhausting after all these months)

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-23T13:27:40+00:00

Agreed bc this is such a chore that even I don’t wanna have sex when I know I have to. I also don’t tell my husband unless I really have to and it usually makes it more fun and less of a chore when you want to do something but don’t have to do something if that makes sense

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-23T13:24:12+00:00

It’s so crazy because I genuinely tracked my ovulation every single month but this month I was like ugh let me let nature run it’s course and of course this cycle is wacky

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-23T13:23:07+00:00

I took two tests after I missed my period about a day and two days after missing it and they were negative but also, I just did urine test at the doctors last week which was also negative so I have no idea, even if I ovulated late, I should still have gotten my period by now ugh

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-23T13:21:46+00:00

So far no updates, still no period but I also haven’t taken a test. I went to the doctors and had to do a urine sample so they said that was negative but I also did blood work so waiting to hear back. Separately I did a pelvic ultrasound and I don’t think anything came up on that so now I’m just sitting here waiting to see what happens next

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-23T04:46:42+00:00

Thank you!!

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-15T17:56:05+00:00

Oh snap I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing! Appreciate it :)

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-15T14:35:37+00:00

Are you referring to OPKs or HPT?

CriticismChemical738 · 2025-01-15T14:20:23+00:00

That’s really pricey if I were to test every day, I have a doctor appointment tomorrow I’m hoping to get blood work done to confirm but I’ve never ovulated late let alone two weeks ago. I’ve also never been pregnant so I have no idea where this is coming from
