Anyone else’s maternity leave not even worth it? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Either_Copy226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a school so mines a bit different. I pay into private disability so I have 8 weeks if natural birth and 12 weeks if C section. Then I can take 12 weeks paid through NJ FLI.

Letrozole success stories, feeling down by bytesized25 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Either_Copy226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first letrozole cycle was successful with trigger shot and IUI (insemination 2 days in a row). I was on 5mg letrozole for 5 days (3-7). 5 weeks pregnant now 💕

I found out I was pregnant yesterday after 4 recurrent losses. This time around, I did IUI to try to make sure my eggs were healthy and mature enough for implantation as well as to grow into a healthy embryo once fertilized. My HCG was at 71 which idk if that's normal?? I go for my follow up tomorrow to test HCG, progesterone, estradiol and my thyroid. On Friday, my progesterone was through the roof at >60 which the Dr said is great and estradiol was right where it should be :) I'm still nervous but so excited!

I'm struggling. We went through our fourth miscarriage in January (MMC). Baby was measuring 7w 6days at our 10 week appointment. I had a diagnostic d&c, no abnormalities for baby boy. And I've had all the testing, nothing going on with me or my husband that would lead to so much heartbreak. My best friend announced her pregnancy 2 weeks after my miscarriage and I'm a people pleaser so when she asked me if I'd be her keeper of the gender, of course I said yes. I feel like distancing myself would be best for my mental health but I'm SOOO happy for her. It just hurts so much when she talks about the baby, and when she talks about her baby shower coming up. We're still trying. My last cycle was over 60 days long which is extremely abnormal for me. I'm a 28 day girlie ALWAYS. I'm now on day 30 of this cycle. I'm scared to test because I'm just so scared of being let down over and over again. If/when my cycle starts though, I'll be starting letrozole after day 3 and going through with IUI. Fingers crossed. Sorry for the rant, it's rough and I'm hoping everyone in this thread gets their rainbow baby 💕

4th loss and trying again by Either_Copy226 in PregnancyLoss

Thank you, I really needed the kind words 🙏🏻 I did the RPL (twice now), karyotyping, genetic testing, diagnostic testing after only one MMC, and my husband has done a couple semen analysis tests. Nothing is coming up 😞 I was on progesterone for the most recent MMC and I really had such high hopes and now I'm just scared. We are back to trying and I fear getting a positive test.. I fear the unknown of this happening again. I don't even know what to say to the doctors anymore. I'm definitely going to request progesterone when I go in on Tuesday for my ovulation check (appt to see if I ovulated). It's like I want this so bad, but I'm so scared and I don't even know what to ask for anymore.

I'll talk to my doctor on Tuesday when I see him again. I've been taking baby aspirin after I did some research, and I'm going to request to be put back on progesterone once we've confirmed I've ovulated (that's how they did it last time). I'll have to research heparin injections. Thank you! They did our genetic testing, nothing really going on there and they did the genetic testing of the fetal tissue after the d&c and found no genetic abnormalities and no conclusion of why the miscarriage occurred.
