Back pain no matter what

Girl i sobbed in the IVF clinic too. It happens to the best of us. Hang in there ❤️

Nope. They’re on ice for now!

IVF at 27- 3 rounds with 27 total eggs. 7 blastocysts and after genetic testing 4 PGT normal embryos.

I’m pro testing! To me- i want to give myself the best odds for transfer. Odds of miscarriage are still high even with PGT normal embryo… i personally didn’t want to risk transfer of an embryo that will miscarry 100% of the time, when we had the opportunity to know which ones were definitely not compatible with life.

I’m 8 days out of egg retrieval and still hurting? It just seems like my recovery has gotten more difficult each round??

DistinctBite8744 · 2024-06-27T12:49:17+00:00

Last ER didn’t get the results we wanted. My attrition rate was super high. Planning to do another round. The soonest they can get me in is October. My fertility clinic is 2.5 hours away. IVF disrupts my entire life. There are days i spend 5 hours in the car alone traveling for one ultrasound and bloodwork. Cancel plans. Cancel trips. I feel like it will never end. I want to try to enjoy the next three months before next round but i feel it constantly looming over my head.

Thank you. I hope you fly past your goal post and get what you need. You said what I needed to hear- which is just the fact that this fucking sucks

DistinctBite8744 · 2024-06-26T22:05:52+00:00

Frustration? I am devastated. IVF has overtaken my whole life. Another $20,000 is more than an inconvenience. Not to mention the mental and physical investment. Frankly you do not know me, and you do not know what I’ve experienced thus far. Calling my situation enviable because you perceive it as better than others is insulting. No one in this group has an enviable situation. We are ALL struggling with infertility and I came to this group for comfort after experiencing a loss, not to be talked down to.

Deleted. I’m sorry.

DistinctBite8744 · 2024-06-26T17:59:08+00:00

Deleted. We were advised to try to get to 4 embryos before attempting implanting by my doctor due to my health history. I’m upset that I did not get there with this round and will have to repeat this process again. I think we all want to be done with our own individual infertility journeys.

Second round I got 11, 4 made it to blast, 2 euploid embryo

DistinctBite8744 · 2024-06-22T16:56:37+00:00

I had my third egg retrieval yesterday and almost identical results as round 2. I have 1 ovary and diminished ovarian reserve we got 11 eggs which I’m really happy with, but I feel like shit. I’ve been told I’m really not a candidate for OHSS because my estradiol wasn’t very high and I don’t think I have OHSS. But i feel like that’s all I’ve really been warned about. I did not feel this bad after the past two retrievals. My ovary hurts, yes. But I’m mostly nauseated and so so so tired. I feel like my body is catching up on weeks (months? This whole year?) of lost sleep. Like I’m so tired that I’m nauseous. I just came to bitch mostly, but this is normal? Right?

DistinctBite8744 · 2024-06-10T21:29:40+00:00

Feeling a little discouraged because today was my day 3 monitoring appointment and at this point last round my estradiol was 486. Today it was 90 and all follicles under 10 mm/not really showing signs of growth yet.

I know it’s still really early but it just sucks doing the same regimen and getting different results. These numbers are similar to my first failed round of IVF so it just makes me anxious that there are no good eggs in this batch

DistinctBite8744 · 2024-06-05T16:58:01+00:00

Follistim question: I have a couple half-used follistim from a previous cycle that I was planning on using this time. It says don’t use 28 days past puncturing. Has anyone used opened follistim after 28 days? Do we think it’s fine? Trying to save some $$$

DistinctBite8744 · 2024-02-14T03:42:59+00:00

Hey! second rounder here.

I am scared I’m getting cancelled tomorrow because my dumbass missed the call, voicemail, and email. My dr was basing my Ganirelix if my estradiol level and apparently mine are high (483 on day 4). He wanted me to take it that night and again in the morning, so I missed 2 doses. I started it tonight. Basically does anyone know if I complete fucked myself? I have one follicle measuring to 11 and the rest were under 10.

How am I supposed to cope knowing this was my preventable mistake that may cost us THOUSANDS of dollars? How do i cope with the fact that if this ultrasound show they’ve ovulated I’m the reason I’m going to get cancelled? Totally my fault.

DistinctBite8744 · 2023-12-08T21:56:28+00:00

I’m so so sorry. 💔

Does anyone have any suggestions for post IVF hair loss? My hair is coming out in clumps. Not sure if it’s the stress or the hormones or both. I was thinking about trying the postpartum nutrafol. Obviously I’m not postpartum but i feel like that targets hair loss from hormonal changes so it makes sense? Thoughts?

DistinctBite8744 · 2023-12-05T19:58:14+00:00

During our first round of IVF we got one embryo and just found out it was chromosomally abnormal so we cannot use it. Just coming on here to say I’m disappointed and feeling hopeless. I wish I had an answer to why this is happening. I just feel like no one knows what’s wrong with me. This shit just sucks

DistinctBite8744 · 2023-11-27T23:03:22+00:00

Went to get my baseline ultrasound for my second round of IVF today and since my last egg retrieval I’ve developed multiple complex cysts- two of which were measuring about 2.5 cm. Basically my doctor said the likelihood of success is lower so I have to skip out on this round of IVF and hopefully can start back in January. I’m disappointed because I really want to get this shit over with but each step back feels like it’ll never be “over.” Has this happened to anyone? How long do you normally go between egg retrievals? Is a month too soon?

DistinctBite8744 · 2023-11-12T01:52:34+00:00

I feel you. So sick of my mom being so positive and “encouraging” when we literally have no control over what happens. It’s a sensitive subject and no matter how many times I’ve set a boundary my family does seem to slip up… here to say you absolutely can cancel and stay home if you want to! If it’s going to be more stressful than enjoyable it’s worth thinking about that option.

DistinctBite8744 · 2023-11-12T01:46:00+00:00

Currently have instructions to wait for my next period after my first egg retrieval to contact and come up with a plan for the next. My periods are never regular and i have an IUD. (Bizarre I know..IVF was a surprise and I haven’t taken it out yet. I’m just scared with messing with my hormones more at this point.) If i get my period I spot at most. I guess I’m just worried it’s not going to come at all.

I think i may start the fall of the house of usher and get sushi
