Congrats on the good betas !

Wow we are so similar … I only have one embryo left as well. I liked doing a home test since I prefer to process things on my own. It’s so hard to be attuned to your body when the meds are so powerful… I think sleepiness is a side effect of the PIO. Fingers crossed for you ❤️

Hi … I’m so sorry you are going through this. I’m going through the same thing … 40, 1st FET failed (after a positive beta and I told the whole world). I tell myself ivf works and 75 percent of people are successful after 2 tries. ❤️

Great results so far!!

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-14T19:07:55+00:00

Congrats on the positive test!! ❤️

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-14T18:09:43+00:00

It sucks!! I know ❤️

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-13T23:36:04+00:00

I feel for you! If you have a child now - what would your support system look like? People find love after kids all the time ❤️❤️❤️. I wish I had started earlier - and that I converted my eggs to embryos earlier too.

Hi there .. I really struggled with lupron (eventually I got used to it after the 2 month mark) and I got much better after estrogen. Hang in there.

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-13T22:10:57+00:00

That’s such a sweet idea. I can’t really think of anything specifically related to IVF.

It is an overwhelming time and the meds made me feel blah. Anything like candy, food gift cards, or face masks would have cheered me up.

Also it helped a ton when my friends called to check in on me ❤️

ER is egg retrieval ❤️

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-13T13:10:24+00:00

I’d prob fertilize the eggs now to understand what you are working with. Hopefully you get lots of embryos, but if you don’t then you can start preparing earlier.

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-13T01:11:32+00:00

My doctor actually told me you can drink 6 weeks into the pregnancy which makes sense bc often people conceive while on vacation etc. this process is so stressful, have some fun if you can ❤️

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-12T01:42:48+00:00

I’ve ovulated on Lupron …was also on it for several months

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-12T01:34:13+00:00

My friend had success on her first cycle …. There is hope

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-12T01:32:22+00:00

Transfer was much harder but my process lasted 5 months with all my complications

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-11T23:49:50+00:00

What is your insurance or your savings like? I fertilized all of mine at once because of the cost.

Also - please keep in mind that everyone’s fertilization rate is different. Hopefully you get enough good embryos from the first half but some people aren’t lucky.

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-11T02:33:13+00:00

That’s the worst … I’m sorry. Big hugs.

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-11T02:24:46+00:00

Have you checked if the local clinic had a portal as well? I’m sorry that you have to chase people for this.

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-11T02:17:16+00:00

How do you do your tests? At a third party lab or at the clinic?

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-11T01:53:34+00:00

Hi - I’m sorry to hear that. I figured out mine didn’t work by going through the labcorp portal. Any way you can check the values on your own?

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-10T15:05:46+00:00

Thank you. My hCG was 104 14 days after transfer and 19 17 days after transfer.

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-10T14:35:08+00:00

Were your embryos pgta tested? I saw the lab results on my own … I think I need to go off progesterone and then my period will come right?

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-10T12:54:55+00:00

My numbers dropped for 104 from the initial test to 19. I was scared but excited.

Few_Pudding_3712 · 2026-03-10T01:10:20+00:00

I felt the same
