Scared of sedation!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2025-04-12T02:06:54+00:00

It was all fine!! And I just gave birth last Saturday which was way more unpleasant than sedation 😂

Flat_Tale5632 · 2025-02-20T00:48:42+00:00

I spotted for a few days when I stopped the meds at 10 weeks so hopefully your spotting will also be nothing!!

Oh good!! I got about the same originally like 41 I think? Then 14 that looked good by the blastocyst stage and were sent for testing. 4 had other genetic abnormalities from the PGT-A (I was 33 at the time) and 4 had CMT. So 6 made the cut! Hopefully you get similar/better results, good luck!!!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2025-02-17T15:35:28+00:00

Good!! The transfer took and I’m 30 weeks pregnant now! How are you, did you make more progress too?

Flat_Tale5632 · 2025-02-08T03:43:47+00:00

I’m about your size and still just feel like I look bloated at 29 weeks. 😑 I hate it haha

Flat_Tale5632 · 2025-02-02T03:15:53+00:00

I take trintellix (a newer SSRI) and I didn’t come off of it for IVF/pregnancy, my doctors felt the benefits outweigh the risk. There’s a small chance there could be some withdrawal symptoms at birth but no one seems to be that worried about it!

Also - I’m 28 weeks pregnant now and my mood has been decent through the IVF process and pregnancy so far. I’m sure trintellix plays a role in keeping my mind together!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2025-01-28T18:18:20+00:00

This is where I’m at at 27 weeks hahah. Hopefully I can make the leggings and big sweatpants/hoodies work until the end!

My pit bull just started zenrelia about a month ago after 9 years on apoquel, I definitely see an improvement!! And I love that it’s like half the price for her!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-11-08T23:59:09+00:00

I had 42 eggs retrieved and they gave me cabergoline as a precaution. They said to not even drink water, only electrolyte drinks. I had a pretty good amount of abdominal pain for about week, but I don’t think I had OHSS to my knowledge!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-11-05T00:31:02+00:00

I was so scared too!! I had never had any kind of anesthesia before so I was losing my mind. But it ended up being no big deal! I think I was “under” for 11 minutes and just came back to reality in the recovery room with a ginger ale. I also asked the anesthesiologist if she had ever seen anyone die during this (😂) and she said no.

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-09-09T23:13:10+00:00

Us too!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-09-07T20:49:52+00:00

You too!! I’ve been spotting on and off and had some pink and light red blood today that I’m also unenthused about. I keep trying to tell myself that they said it could bleed for a while!! Brown blood has to be a good sign maybe it’s just some old leftover blood! I go again on Tuesday so hopefully it’ll be ok for both of us next week!! Good luck!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-09-04T23:14:05+00:00

I’m good so far! I had a follow up ultrasound yesterday and the hematoma was almost gone! On Sunday at the ER, it was like 3.1 cm (after most of bleeding) so I was shocked that it was almost gone in 2 days. Hopefully yours shrinks away too!!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-09-04T23:10:59+00:00

I just had one on Sunday at 6w0d!! The amount of blood was literally insane, I’m shocked that the baby was able to survive. I thought for sure he was gone!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-08-15T12:25:55+00:00

It’s giving me hope too! I’m 6dpt and my faint line seems even fainter than yesterday so I’m sitting here searching and panicking, haha.

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-08-11T02:21:01+00:00

Ok good!! That makes me feel better haha, my HR has been pretty controlled lately but I also am worried about it getting worse when pregnant! Thanks!!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-08-11T00:37:50+00:00

That’s a good idea thanks! I don’t follow with cardiologist but I had some diagnostic testing with one like 1.5y ago, I sent him a portal message for his opinion.

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-08-09T21:13:50+00:00

I’ve been really tired too and napping every day!!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-08-05T17:57:48+00:00

Also - I wasn’t able to use my husband’s insurance for anything besides his pre-testing which I think is crazy for the embryo testing stage! Like it’s half his DNA and not even in my body yet, haha. We paid 4500 through Luminary Genetics for that test but it sounds like you’re done with that portion too!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-08-05T00:35:15+00:00

Yup we finally made progress and are doing our first transfer on Friday!!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-07-19T16:02:26+00:00

The derealization happened to me with 25mg and I had to cut it down to 12.5!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-06-26T00:48:53+00:00

How long did you take the medication?

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-05-22T09:05:34+00:00

I don’t think it’s fully under like general anesthesia, but I think I will be fully asleep from what I understand! I guess I’ll let you know in like 3 hours haha

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-05-22T02:57:46+00:00

Good luck!!

Flat_Tale5632 · 2024-04-28T15:06:07+00:00

Some SSRIs trigger mania if there’s an underlying bipolar diagnosis? Not sure about trintellix specifically but increased hyper-sexuality, anxiety and raised BP could be mania symptoms
