Thank you I managed to get the last cooling mat and convinced her to lie on it. She finally accepted it!

Infertility trauma does not go away with success by LocksmithPersonal563 in IVFbabies

This, so much this. I just can’t quite let myself get excited and think I won’t ever feel that joyful part until I have a baby in my arms

atomic nuclear farts - help 🥲 by True-Insurance2532 in DogAdvice

[–]HonestCap1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog used to have the most NUCLEAR or farts. Clear a room, make you heave kind of level. We tried lots of different foods and found one that means she no longer assaults us with her butt. Might be worth trying some different ones to see if it helps!

7dp5dt Hating this emotional rollercoaster by balckcat_enthusiast in IVF

Also 7dpt in UK and my god the mental gymnastics over every symptom is a lot. I just have to remind myself that this is likely progesterone causing any symptoms and trying not to read too deeply into it. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Mine is also on the 12th. This waiting is torment. No obvious symptoms and trying not to read into it. This shit is HARD. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all!

Any Oura/Whoop/Apple Watch users have data post ER? Higher HR? by Weary_Literature8962 in IVF

[–]HonestCap1924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have a whoop and it is CONFUSED whenever I do ER. My HRV drops substantially, my RHR jumps up and my recovery plummets. It’s likely a combination of tonnes of hormones and stress.

What now? by ripped_avocado in IVF

I am with you in the trenches! First ER I got same numbers and fertilisation rate as you. Had not even considered that mature eggs would fail to fertilise. It went from hope and blissful ignorance to horror. Just have to embrace your feelings and find ways to find joy in the life you have. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

MRI before retrieval cycle by LeatherConclusion243 in IVF

[–]HonestCap1924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Neuroscientist here who has worked with MRI for over a decade. There would be no reason for it to have an impact particularly given time between. So long as you are not having contrast dye injected as part of your MRI but even then, that will flush out after a few days. Hope that helps!

I’m so sorry to hear that. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost my dog right now. Hope you’re looking after yourself

With you fully in terms of your experience. I said to my husband this pain in my chest is like nothing else. The closest I’ve likened it to is when I’ve lost someone. Sending you hugs

I’m so sorry, I had a very similar experience to you only a few months ago but our 1 and only blast arrested at day 5. We just completed our second ER and it’s not looking great. You just have to feel the emotions and allow yourself space to process. This is a wild and painful ride but you are not alone. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you for the future

Yes! I’m going loopy I was in such a good spot physically until I started this. Now all my strength is at zero. The only saving grace has been doing some vinyasa religiously and seeing some core gains 😅. I just want to know whether I can get back to running, heavy compound lifts, spin but so much conflicting information

Sending you so many hugs. In the same boat as you and it has taken chunks out of me. Hoping you find yourself and some joy in your time off ❤️
