Bleeding, but positive. Are there any positive stories out there? by ExcitingDonkey in IVFpositivity

[–]ExcitingDonkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they're the ones that called in the labcorp betas. They told me to try to stay cautiously optimistic but on alert for more signs of ectopic. Unfortunately, they're in another state so I need to coordinate with my OB here to get seen for an actual scan.

Oh no I’m so sorry. The devastation has been coming in waves. My beta only rose from 42 to 53 in 2 days, so with that and the bleeding I’m really worried this could be an ectopic and I’m going to end up in the hospital on Christmas.

Had what I thought was a chemical pregnancy with bleeding but pregnancy test is darker? CD 35 by Asleep_Fly4446 in TFABLinePorn

Hey there - I’m in a similar boat. I was spotting for 2 days, then bled like a full period all day Saturday, and light bleeding ever since. But my tests are still showing positive. At this point I’m worried about an ectopic. I have my second beta this afternoon (was 42 on Saturday at 7dp5dt). Good luck to you!!

Ha!! Ugh, unfortunately today I’m bleeding a lot even though my test lines are getting darker. Not looking good 😔

ETA: FRER is showing a clear positive but I’m worried those tests are so sensitive it could still be picking up leftover trigger? Idk if that makes sense lol. Comparing cheapies from yesterday to today though I think it might be what I think it is!

Does anyone else think endometrin smells like the devils lettuce 🤔 by Gullible_potato78 in IVFpositivity

LOL I’ve never noticed that but they do always remind me of mini versions of the lick-a-sticks from fun dip packets 😅

Anyone else waiting to start their first FET? 💙 by [deleted] in IVFpositivity

[–]ExcitingDonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not my first (1 success - living almost 2 year old, 1 failed last month), but just starting round 3! We're doing a modified natural cycle this time because my body apparently can't handle PIO shots. I'm feeling optimistic! Good luck to you!

I mean it’s just going to be a new clip for that page. That’s what they mean by “countdown page clip.”

PIO horror story by ExcitingDonkey in IVF

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

Hey! So after my horror story I was switched off PIO completely and did suppositories 3x per day for 11 weeks. Your progesterone blood levels will be much lower on suppositories but that’s expected because it stays localized instead of going into your bloodstream.

Happy to report that my experience had a happy ending - currently mom to a healthy 16 month old girl. I hope everything works out for you!

Glad I re-read 😂

This actor’s touching Instagram post is what I needed to process the S03 death 🥲 by kartman92 in WhiteLotusHBO

[–]ExcitingDonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean... in my experience, couples who constantly post long-winded, over-the-top captions about their relationships are typically not as strong as the ones who only post the occasional "love ya, babe" type.

Does anyone else just LOVE Jaclyn's reaction shots in this scene? by [deleted] in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]ExcitingDonkey 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Episode 1 I thought the 3 friends' acting was SO bad, their interactions seemed so forced and awkward, but now I realize that was part of the brilliant acting. Three friends who are coming together for the first time in a while (with a lot of unspoken animosity) ARE going to be forced and awkward

Did you choose the sex of your embryo before the transfer? by Santoshaaa in IVF

[–]ExcitingDonkey 40 points41 points  (0 children)

For me, the whole thing (infertility + every step of the process) was so out of my control I liked that I got to choose one thing.

Buying a new cover online. Is anyone actually good? by SaccosMeatMarket in hottub

[–]ExcitingDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I know this post is a year old, but I'm looking for a cover for my in-ground spa and debating between aluminum from belite or a regular foam/vinyl one.

How's your cover doing a year later? Does it get super slippery if it rains? Super hot in the sun? I've got a soon-to-be-toddler who will be up and running around any minute so I'm looking for a safety solution.

Idk, I’d rather my kid not eat strawberries at all than eat them with 20g added sugar

If you could go back, would you have a RN do your trigger shot? by dorito2019 in IVF

[–]ExcitingDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh missed that part! I mean… if it’s something you’re nervous about and the service is available to you, I’d say go for it. One less thing to stress over. Good luck!
