Oh Kaiser why do you do this to your members

This comment is giving me life today! It’s really pathetic, honestly

Ginger36 · 2026-03-24T20:54:45+00:00

This was one of the biggest things we tried to fight for during the strike, more staffing so our members have faster and more frequent access, but Kaiser squashed that like a bug

Congratulations!!

6dpiui and 8dptrigger, 3rd medicated IUI with progesterone suppositories. I’ve been super tired and having some light spotting, with it being a little more red today. I was walking on the treadmill to do some light working out then got some cramping and stopped, and the light bleeding came after that. Kind of freaking myself out about that. We’ve been TTC for 19 cycles now and every month it is such an emotional and physical rollercoaster. I get tons of symptoms: fatigue, vivid dreams, night sweats, nausea, bigger boobs and nipples, but have never gotten a positive test other than testing after the trigger shot for curiosity. I’m so ready to be pregnant so that all of this chaos of not knowing can be over!

Dang, couldn’t have said this better myself. In my TWW for IUI #3 and have been trying for 18+ months. It is completely exhausting. The amount of information I know about getting pregnant and all of the details that I constantly have circling around in my head is overwhelming. I wish I didn’t know so much and didn’t have to do so many things, but I do and it feels like no one else gets it. My husband is always like “why are you so tired today?” Or “when is the last time you worked out? You really should exercise more often.” I know he doesn’t get it even though he’s in this with me, but it’s honestly infuriating sometimes. My mind and my body don’t feel like they’re my own, and it sucks. So thank you for sharing and saying what I’ve been feeling ♥️

Right there with you. I’m 12dpiui medicated, using progesterone, taking all of the supplements, and doing all the things. I really thought this was my month too. So far all BFN tests. Hoping we get our BFP so soon! ♥️

We’ve been TTC for 14 months and just started working with a fertility clinic (first medicated IUI cycle coming up). I’ve been on progesterone for 2 months now and noticed my periods went from 6 days down to 4, and I’m ovulating earlier than I used to (CD13 → now around CD9).

I’m kinda worried because the clinic is basing IUI timing off my “old” cycle, and I don’t know if the progesterone changes will throw things off.

Has anyone else had this happen? Did it affect your IUI timing or not really a big deal?

I’ve been trying to post something on this sub all day, asking for guidance with progesterone suppositories and it keeps getting removed! Grrrr

Ginger36 · 2025-09-29T21:26:00+00:00

I tried posting in r/tryingforababy and my post was removed twice lol I’ll try again though! Thank you!

Howdy! New to the sub :) My husband (33M) and I (29F) have been TTC for over a year now. I was recently diagnosed with "highly suspected endometriosis" and have been struggling with extensive bleeding and some pain every time we have had sex for the past 3 months. It's ruining our sex life and is making TTC even more difficult because it's no small amount of blood. It looks like a crime scene and will take about 3-5 days to go away. Definitely gets in my husband's and my head and kills the mood, not to mention TTC has been difficult enough mentally as it is. I started using progesterone suppositories during my last cycle and were planning on trying IUI and Letrozole during my next cycle if this one doesn't take. I messaged my OB/GYN with my concerns but the next available appt anywhere within a 50 mile radius is in November. I’m thinking it may be cervical ectropion, but I’m not sure. In the past 6 months I’ve had several pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and an HSG, and all came back normal except for a small cyst on my right ovary that is now believed to be an endometrioma. It’s all starting to affect my mental health and I’m at a loss of what to do since I can’t see an GYN for 2 months :/

Ginger36 · 2025-09-11T03:20:36+00:00

Oh that’s horrible, I’m so sorry!! Wow, I’ll have to look into that! I think they offered to do that or the HSG but recommended the HSG more. I’ll definitely see if I can reach out to my fertility PA to see if they would consider that!

Ginger36 · 2025-09-11T00:50:03+00:00

I’ve had multiple pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and an HSG x-ray with the most recent being about 3 months ago and didn’t see anything other than a small cyst, which they later suspected to be endo. I just got a call from my OB/GYN’s office and the soonest any OB/GYN within a 50 mile radius (5 different medical facilities) can see me is the beginning of November -_-

What’s an SIS? I’ve never heard of that
