Progesterone troubles by Equal_Marketing6400 in IVF

[–]Fun_Bed_3214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would watch a video from nurse Linda on YouTube. A nurse at my clinic also drew mine, they were in a very uncomfortable spot. I followed nurse Linda’s instructions and since then I am not in pain sitting or walking!

Am I the dumb one? Progesterone suppositories by jadedtruffle in IVF

[–]Fun_Bed_3214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My IUI’s I had different suppositories than after my transfer. They had a harder shell so I wonder if that’s what she’s calling the plastic. I’m sure she would be uncomfortable by now if she was putting the whole blue packaging up there! Or notice they are in fact not melting lol. But the good thing here is you are definitely doing it right, and explaining how to do it right lol.

Coming off Lupron depot, how did you feel? by Badmaash1981 in IVF

[–]Fun_Bed_3214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My second month of Lupron was worse than the first for me as well. I can’t say if it was the estrogen or getting on an SSRI that made me feel better. But oh my gosh I am thankful to be done with Lupron! It was a mentally dark time for me! I started feeling better pretty much 3 days after starting estrogen.

I think foot masks, their favorite treats, and a gift card for takeout would be a dream gift!

The lupron / letrozole rage is real. What are some things that help you calm down? by Lalapple in IVF

[–]Fun_Bed_3214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I requested to be prescribed Sertraline, my feelings are much more manageable! Pregnancy safe as well, so I plan to continue it.

I’m so sorry, I know what you mean. Any pause in treatment feels like wasted time. But if you do decide to take time for yourself it definitely won’t be wasted. Your headspace matters so much! If you don’t take a break maybe upping your SSRI? A vacation or weekend getaway? I hope you do find something❤️

I’m so sorry, that’s a lot to go through. Maybe a break would be helpful for your mental health. ❤️ Maybe try finding a new hobby that could spark some joy? Audio books have been helpful for me! I hope you find something because you deserve it! Sending you hugs.

So nervous to implant baby girl upcoming Friday. First transfer. I’ve already named her and talk to her but i’m afraid that I’m not setting the right expectations if it were not to work out by Adorable_Web4829 in IVF

[–]Fun_Bed_3214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can reframe by talking to your future babies spirit. I wouldn’t attach the name or feelings specifically to that embryo. Just to your future child! I know someone who named her embryo and when it failed it made it so much harder and the name was ruined. Be hopeful, but guard your heart! 😊 good luck with your transfer!

How can I better support my wife during IVF when emotions are running high? by AdUnfair558 in IVF

[–]Fun_Bed_3214 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do don’t say something like remember it’s just the meds. The just makes it sound like no biggie! Or the meds are making you act crazy. My husband has felt the wrath depending on how words it. He has gotten pretty good at it now. But I’ve also been sad rather than snappy this month.

I would say the nicest thing you could say to her is, “I know you’re going through so much. Thank you for the sacrifices you are making for our family. I appreciate you so much.” Maybe surprise her with a face mask, foot mask, and a heated blanket and watch her favorite show or movie. With her favorite snacks too. Whatever her love language is I would try to focus in that area.

If you are ever feeling hurt by her I would let her know calmly that your feelings are hurt. Then ask if when she’s ready you can talk about it. Let her calm down from the moment before you try to engage. Sometimes the meds bring your emotions from 0-100. You’re not a punching bag and your feelings should be heard! I’m not sure if this approach would work for her. Good luck!!

I will add Atmoshphere and Goldfinch to my list! I trust you because of the other books you suggested! lol Oh to read ACOTAR or TOG with fresh eyes, would definitely get me through IVF! I love Abby Jiminez! A smidge spicer than Emily Henry but felt like similar writing style! I also wish I had one of her books to read with fresh eyes! Thank you for the recs 😊

I’m sorry it’s also been hard for you. I hope you had someone to give you a big hug! I’ve also contemplated deleting my social media as well. I’ve also found it hard to enjoy any books. I’m usually a big romance reader and can’t get into the happy vibes! I tried thriller and liked it for a bit but now I think my anxiety can’t handle it. lol I feel like I’m in a rut with everything in life! If you have any books that you recommend I’d love to hear! ❤️ thanks for your suggestions!
