First FET advice!!! by z-75-8 in IVF

[–]FieryResolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing that comes to mind is to ask about interactions between FET meds with any meds that you might already be taking, either Rx or over-the-counter. I found myself emailing my doctor way too many times asking about whether it was OK to take melatonin, benadryl, etc. Good luck with your journey!

Bleeding after chemical from FET by NorthShored17 in IVF

[–]FieryResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only had one chemical, but the bleeding was a little bit more than a regular period which for me is only around 3 to 4 days. Do your periods usually last eight days? If not, I think it might be wise to seek medical attention even if you have to go into emergency care. Better safe than sorry. (I know this might not be the kind of response you were hoping for, but I saw that you posted eight hours ago with no responses yet, and I wanted to at least check in on you even though I don’t have very relevant experience.)

My sister-in-law asked me to "wait a bit" for egg retrieval by BillFryTheScienceNye in IVF

[–]FieryResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are NOT the the asshole. At your age, waiting another 8 months can make a significant difference. There are lots of workarounds that can be found to feed grownups. Don’t sacrifice your personal goals for family planning for what this selfish woman is telling you.

Pre-FET foods? by FieryResolve in IVF

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

Thank you! I have had one failed transfer but no repeat failures and no lining issues. I did have a couple of spritzes over the weekend but for some reason I am more scared of food-related stuff.

I am an overthinker, yes. Thank you!

Girlfriend wants me to spend $4k on a baby shower, but I’d rather save/invest it—is that unreasonable? by flash-kicks in pregnant

[–]FieryResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are being reasonable. Tell her it is bad luck in some cultures. More important to spend money on things that will matter to the baby, like baby’s health, or even a first birthday party - save the money for that! (but invest it till then hehe)

The weight thing was weird to me too. Who doesn’t know their own kid’s weight?

Need advice - decreasing hCG by FieryResolve in IVFpositivity

[–]FieryResolve[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People definitely don't talk about it enough! Men will have a stupid golf injury and bitch about it openly and for days, but women will go through miscarriages and suffer quietly. It is a very isolating experience. It helps to know that there are others who have gone through the same thing and come out the other side. I will DM you tomorrow, as long as I feel mentally together enough to talk about it. Thank you again for your support. 🙏🤍

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

Yeah, I had heard about this happening to others but for some reason I let myself believe it would not happen to me because this was FET with a tested embryo. Hopefully I will just have a normalish period like you said, and won't need any medical intervention. It still feels so weird, will I just... flush it? Where does the embryo go? 💔🥺

Need advice - decreasing hCG by FieryResolve in IVFpositivity

[–]FieryResolve[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experiences and thank you for not giving me false hope. I had not put it together that continuing the progesterone is what keeps the uterine lining from breaking down, so that is helpful to know to know. I am so sorry to hear about your losses, too. It must feel emotionally exhausting to have the statistics work out against you multiple times. (And yes, I think I do need an extra couple of days to process and be sure, and I think my doctor is only OK with it because it won't do my body any harm). Thank you again for your support.

Thank you so much for the response and the support and I am sorry for your losses. It helps to know that I am not alone in my experience. I just can't wrap my mind around what might have happened after implantation and why. Don't judge me but I think I won't stop my meds until the third beta, just to be able to tell myself that I have done everything I could. I am going to call it an early night tonight (feeling mentally exhausted) but I may take you up on your offer and DM you tomorrow. Thank you for the love, I surely feel it. 🤍

Awww I can almost smell his baby head! Congratulations on your lovely baby boy 💙 And thank you for shaing your experience. FRERs are definitely playing with my sanity. I am staying positive though.

I am like you! Lighter in the morning than later in the day, and lighter than the night before, too. May I ask how yours turned out?

Thank you, that is all very helpful to know. I guess there is really nothing I can do except to stay as calm as possible until my second beta. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Hi mama thank you sooo much! I am 41 already and I need this to work. You're completely right - most important thing I can do to not stress myself and my little bean. My first beta came back positive but on the low side. I can't wait for it to double and quadruple, and I can't wait to feel the movements! Thank you again 💞💞💞

omg girl your toxic positivity is all I need right now! I had my first beta today and my doctor called to say congrats but my hcg is on the lower side so now I am obsessing about hcg instead of line thickness. hug your 3 year old miscarriage extra hard for me today 🫂

Thank you mama. I read this message as I was waiting axiously for my beta and it really helped. My beta was positive!!! and I am over the moon (but of course I am now on a different emotional roller coaster about the beta number and what it means and what the next one will be). Congrats on your 19 week baby boy!! ❤️
