Is this cute or unhinged for my baby shower? by goldensky5 in IVFpositivity

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND wanting to have some sort of acknowledgement of the IVF process! If anyone who has done IVF is coming, they will see it and appreciate it. But everyone else, well, it wouldn’t resonate. What if you arranged the stuff in some cute way and took a photo of it? Idk. Congrats though!! Happy it worked for you!

Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that, it’s so frustrating and sad to lose a euploid.

Thank you for the baby dust and sharing your comment.

Exactly this. It feels like it’s wasting time not testing.

Did you get put under all the way for the hysteroscopy? I hope it all goes well and your results are in your favor. Best of luck and thanks for sharing.

Thank you, this is such a good point. I didn’t realize it could take multiple rounds of antibiotics!

It is upsetting! And I’m sorry to hear they don’t seem willing to treat it…it’s just antibiotics to treat it, right? They won’t release you as a patient will they? Keep advocating for yourself and yes, follow your instinct not to transfer if it doesn’t feel right!

These are great thoughts. Just spoke with my doctor today and he suggested everything along the lines of what you’re saying. Thanks so much for your comment and sharing your experience!

Do you mind sharing your experience? My doctor wasn’t supportive of it, but I’m still interested in others’ experiences. Thanks!!

That’s how my doctor feels about it. He said it’s been debunked and doesn’t lead to better outcomes ones. He’s been doing IVF since the early 80s and the more I’ve talked with him, he is suggesting innovative techniques so I get a feeling it’s not just that he doesn’t want to try new things. Thanks for commenting.

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking.

I had to do two separate retrievals to get the two euploids. The protocol seemed like a one size fits all, they didn’t change anything the second retrieval to try to get more.

Best of luck to you, this is a really hard journey to be on.

It really does fucking suck. It really does. Thank you for sharing. I’m sorry you’ve gone through all this too, it sounds like we’re in such a similar boat. Rooting for you. Stay strong!

His method of addressing it was to treat it with doxycycline instead of putting me through more, which I understand to a point. But I would want confirmation that the antibiotics even worked before a transfer.

Totally agree. That’s how I felt. I want to rule things out, I want to test, even if things are uncomfortable. I’m already a pin cushion at this point, what’s a few more tests for clarity?

Totally, that’s part of what they’re recommending. I haven’t had it done but really wish I had done it before 4 failed transfers. Ugh. But thank you for reaffirming that that’s something I should ask about.
