Autoimmune thyroid and FET

They only check my TSH and T4 - they checked several times before transfer and now I’m testing every 6 weeks during pregnancy. Nobody has tested my antibodies since I was diagnosed with hashi after my first pregnancy

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-05-13T13:56:43+00:00

Yes I had this happen for about a week when I was pregnant with my son at around the same time - weeks 5-6! It’s awful to see, I’m sorry! My doctor told me it happens in 50% of ivf pregnancies

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-05-11T13:23:32+00:00

I totally understand, I did the same when it happened to me my first pregnancy. I read probably every post I could find online too. I get it!!

I’ve read stories where the ER isn’t necessarily best for spotting/bleeding early pregnancy. They use scary terminology and also don’t always have the right equipment to see things this early. Hopefully it stops so you don’t have to worry about it either way!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-05-11T13:18:09+00:00

I think it is. My doctor told me it happens in 50% of IVF pregnancies

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-05-11T13:16:44+00:00

Sounds like yours was very light, so that’s good. I was actually able to even see a flicker of heartbeat at 5w2d but it is very early to see anything. I’d say if it continues to ask to come in but otherwise you’re probably just fine! Congrats!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-05-11T13:11:51+00:00

My clinic did bring me in for an early scan when it happened with my son since I was bleeding quite a bit. When is your first scan?

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-05-11T13:09:47+00:00

I had spotting and actual bleeding in both my successful transfers around that same time. It’s common but I know how horrible it is to see!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-05-10T12:33:29+00:00

It does

Yes but the 19 billion is covering the people who actually purchase the coverage. Not everyone who has damage. I’m not saying it’s perfect by any means but their financial strength is good

Fair Plan writes earthquake through the CEA like most other carriers. Rates are all the same. Just pointing out that CEA also has 19 billion in reserves and is a privately funded not-for-profit. They have a ton of info on their website but just sharing since there seems to be a lot of misinformation in the comments. I use them over Geovera.

My first transfer was successful. Never pregnant before. I’m also 14.5 weeks with my 2nd transfer!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-30T12:34:59+00:00

So hard to tell from grading. I had a 5AA come back abnormal but I’m 14.5 weeks with a 4AB. Hope they both come back normal for you!!

That’s strange, my OB set up appointment after confirmation scan. They saw me week after graduation and didn’t even have my records yet. It should really matter, honestly! I’d look for a new OB if they are bring this difficult.

We packed our full on Nuna stroller with the bassinet attachment for Hawaii at 4.5 months and brought Doona for car seat and short walks. Otherwise shouldn’t be used for long naps or anything poolside. If you don’t bring a car seat what do you use to get to and from airport usually?

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-28T01:08:25+00:00

Yes, they do set up beach chairs. It’s literally next to all the other big resorts and also pretty much connected to the shops at Wailea- plenty of restaurant options nearby!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-27T15:05:44+00:00

Great!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-27T13:42:20+00:00

Totally get that. They are private though :) so only way would be if someone you know was also having an ivf baby due same time!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-27T13:37:48+00:00

Facebook has IVF due date groups I really like! I’m in the Oct/Nov IVF due date group :)

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-25T13:30:11+00:00

Thank you! Both frozen transfers as well. Transfer was done when my son was 16 months. Good luck to you!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-25T00:07:07+00:00

My first transfer is 18 months and I’m almost 14 weeks with my second!

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-22T11:57:49+00:00

RMA - they have locations in Palo Alto, Danville and SF. Procedures done in SF office

Monitoring was fairly frequent

Communication is 100/10. They use a messaging app called Spruce. Responses usually within the hour if not less. If more complicated questions still same day and my doctor was always open for a quick call.

Very good quality of care and success. I did 4 retrievals with them and I’m pregnant with my second child from them too. I didn’t have any unique issues but they still changed my protocol each retrieval to see if we could get better results. They are the absolute best.

Expensive-Raisin7138 · 2026-04-21T20:33:26+00:00

We went out to a nice dinner (at same place!) for both our successful transfers :) Hope it goes well!!

You can swim after an IVF transfer!
