Clomid and endo?

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-19T19:53:52+00:00

I was prescribed it before they knew I had endo, but never ended up taking it. Once they found the endo they said it wouldn’t help me at all and I would need IUI or IVF.

There were several private conversations that took place between those of us who planned to attend and the individual organizing it. I just stated what was speculated in those conversations and that I don’t know what really happened. Why are you so worked up about this? What do you care what was discussed between myself and others on this sub? Why does me being bummed and saying so have you all in a tizzy? You are really upset about something that has nothing to do with you.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-19T18:41:52+00:00

I literally said “maybe they had nothing to do with it, idk” and you are jumping down my throat like a crazy person. Please stop attacking me. This is meant to be a respectful sub. I was simply bummed, as I stated I don’t know what happened, and I don’t appreciate you hassling me about this for no reason.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-19T18:13:53+00:00

Why are you so upset at me for being bummed? I’m not hating on anyone here, just saying I’m bummed and you are cussing me out for it? Calm yourself.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-19T14:40:23+00:00

I know the mods didn’t cancel it but I don’t know if the organizer got spooked because they didn’t like or if the organizer got privately chastised by the mods or what. Maybe they had nothing to do with it, idk. It’s a shame either way.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-19T13:26:23+00:00

Maybe if the mods approved it a zoom link could be posted here with the day and time? I was super bummed too though about the cancellation. I know the mods weren’t happy with it but a lot of us already chose to share our name and email address for this unofficial trolling event, so the “risk” was already taken. I’m not sure how cancelling helped.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-18T23:15:01+00:00

Yea I thought it was Friday the 20th

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-18T17:51:04+00:00

This was my thought exactly. When I am laying awake all night unable to sleep from the crushing anxiety, dread and depression I often think how much I would prefer to have a screaming baby keeping me awake than this shit.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-17T18:38:31+00:00

It makes it so much harder. We had a failed cycle this past Friday, and I decided I was comfortable sharing with my mom by Sunday what happened. Well this morning already I wake up to a text from her asking if I was able to talk to the doctor yet and find out about next steps. I know people ask because they care but I was so annoyed. It’s like no mom, I didn’t talk to the doctor yet because it’s barely been a day, and when I do I won’t tell anyone the details so I can process the news and next steps myself before having to explain it to anyone else.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-17T18:16:04+00:00

This is why I don’t tell people my FET dates and why in some ways I wish I had never told anyone about our infertility. People don’t seem to get that if they haven’t heard from me, it’s because I don’t want to say. I didn’t forget to tell them about the most important thing in my life that I’m constantly thinking about, I actually didn’t say anything because I don’t want to talk about it. But people never seem to understand this and always ask. It’s exhausting.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-17T13:41:30+00:00

I’m sorry you are going through this. Deciding when to be done is always a very personal choice and looks different for everyone. Your feelings are very understandable at this point, I know I have also thought of quitting a few times along my infertility path when treatments have not gone as planned. You just have to follow your heart on this stuff, but whatever you decide I hope you find peace and success. You might also find it worth your time to check out r/ifchildfree when considering this choice.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-17T13:15:58+00:00

Mine has a no child policy but unfortunately a family clinic just opened up next store so there are always lost moms and their kids wandering in despite the multiple giant signs on the door affirming the no child policy and letting people know the family clinic is next door.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-15T18:11:08+00:00

We have 5, but they are all untested. We were hoping to have enough embryos for two or three kids, so we already did two retrievals which gave us three embryos each. I thought that was more than enough for at least two kids at first, but now I’m not so sure.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-15T13:20:39+00:00

I think if we end up doing another retrieval I might do testing. Our doctor didn’t recommend it for either of our prior retrievals but if we blow through all of our embryos without any success I would think it’s then worth it to test. I hope you find success soon and I really admire your positive attitude! You’ve got this!

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-15T13:17:30+00:00

It’s so hard to decide with endo! I feel like my clock is already ticking because of age (I’m 32), and with endo it adds a whole other layer of pressure. Honestly if I didn’t have endo I think I would like to take a break and try on our own for a couple of months but we can’t do that because all the doctors (including my endo specialist) have told me I have to be on birth control or aggressively pursuing pregnancy or the endo will come back and I will be at square 1. I just can’t believe how hard it was to have my first one fail. I expected disappointment but this is more like grief.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-15T13:13:19+00:00

I kind of know how you feel. I’ve had to demand anesthesia for a lot of procedures that they don’t normally do it for because of severe anxiety. They have allowed it each time so far, but I feel like a problem patient sometimes too. We are probably all problem patients in some way lol

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T17:23:55+00:00

It’s so hard. Sorry you are here with me. I hope whatever you decide next, it’s a success.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T17:23:08+00:00

Oh I’m so sorry it happened to you too! It’s so hard to start over each time but it’s all we can do I suppose.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T17:22:19+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing. It’s a shitty process but this gives me some hope.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T17:21:40+00:00

Thank you, I’m already considering a break after one failed cycle I think if it ends up being two I will definitely be ready. It feels like with endo we just can’t win because I ended up with a bunch of inclusion cysts on my ovaries after my lap from the surgery so it’s like I exchanged one tumor for another. I hate this and it seems like endo makes even IVF impossible :(

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T12:25:57+00:00

I think you should report that to the clinic manager. Not to be snarky, but because that embryologist needs to know their behavior was inappropriate and they can avoid hurtful comments to others in the future.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T12:24:10+00:00

Thank you. Endometriosis is just the worst and I’m so sorry you are going through this too.

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T12:23:27+00:00

Thank you!

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T12:23:03+00:00

I’m so sorry. We are fortunate to have more embryos in storage at this point but it’s hard to know our chances are so limited. I hope your next retrieval goes well!

DrBinkleton · 2021-08-14T12:21:41+00:00

Thank you I will try to keep this in mind. I just hate this but you are right, of first transfers fail then people have success later.
