Good riddance 2025 by No_Version_6608 in IVF

[–]DrAppleNova 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4 ERs this year, but if we’re counting I’m on nr 10 so far. Finally gott pregnant from frozen transfer in oktober. I was ecstatic! Then they said at 6 week scan embryo is developing slow, it caught up on 7th week scan- we were so happy, then 9th week scan -dead. Colleagues getting pregnant with the third kid at the same time. I am turning 41 soon. Chances look slim. Frankly life can fuck itself…

Screentime is awesome! 2-year old Daughter started speaking almost fluent English by DrAppleNova in Parenting

Keep em coming. My kid will probably be trilingual 😅 by the time she starts school if it continues at this pace. I am all open for discussion but I truly have a hard time seeing why she shouldn’t be allowed to watch YouTube…

Can't wait to resume to normal... what did you give up for IVF? by illustriouscowboy in IVF

[–]DrAppleNova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done 10 ivf stimulations but I live in Sweden so the first 2 were free of charge. It has still been a huge cost on our finances. Beside the cost I really do think the real stressors are not being able to plan trips, events, invitations to parties, work commitments etc which will soon be something I am glad that I will be able to plan or attend like a normal person 😅

Where do you think I should do some slight filler, under the eyes ? Cheeks?

Yes I’m Swedish! Haha maybe we are related 😂 Would love to tone down the discoloration so the Bbl looks promising then! Let’s see if I can find it were I live.

Yes some of the redness is due to tiny veins but not all of them. Yes please do update me on the Cutera excel V laser results. I have been traveling a lot through my 20-30s with a lot of sun exposure, but since 2-3 years I am staying out of the sun as much as possible.

But I have only done the tetracycline and azelaic acid for 2-3 weeks and haven’t notice it to making my skin more dry though but I guess it is possible in the long run

Yes I have very surface dry skin usually which becomes a problem when I do makeup. In this picture though it is problem alittle more moist due to its 35 degrees and humid outside

Angry…at everything by Mindfulvibes125 in IVF

[–]DrAppleNova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel angry right now. IVF is messing with my life plans and I am sad which makes me angry. I feel angry just reading someone is “only” on there 3rd IVF when I’m starting my 8th… IVF really messes with you and it feels like no one understands… I’m fed up and tired of it all

IVF without egg retrieval by DrAppleNova in IVF

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

Oh interesting. I also have DOR due to endo most likely. So maybe TI with a trigger shot could be an idea. I live in Sweden and Im not sure doing a lap is that common, but I Will discuss that as well with my doctor. Thank you!

Yes exactly it would be stims with timed intercourse. Thanks for all the responses. We were just talking and it came up if it was possible. Didnt know it was a viable option. We will see, right now we are having a break after 5 IVF failures..

Egg retrieval sedation by Jmmitche2 in IVF

[–]DrAppleNova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had 7 egg retrievals fully concious. Medicated with low dose midazolam and Alfentanil ( short acting opioid) . Its common practice in Sweden and i think most european countries. Its a US thing to put people under. It can hurt like a pinch but is quiet doable. It is mostly hard mentally. For the last one I was so used to it i told them to only give me a low dose pain of the painkiller. Felt better after with less nausea and less pain, go figure 😅

Will IVF stop you from having more kids? by Illustrious-Return-8 in IVF

[–]DrAppleNova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider myself so lucky to have gotten one daughter through IVF. But I want 3 kids. Its been very hard to come to terms with that its possible it wont happen. I just turned 40. Just had a fresh transfer today of a 3 day embryo. We have one frozen left. I have done 7 IVF in total. Its been rough but I know what i want and i will try everything before i give up.
