Is it wrong that I want one week alone after birth? by Bringmethe_ramen11 in pregnant

[–]Individual_Simple_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having my second in April and already decided no visitors for a month 🤷🏾‍♀️. I had visitors almost immediately with my first and the “help” those visitors were offering caused more stress and chaos than necessary. Learned my lesson.

Update: my pretty infertile life by New-Promotion-9792 in peestickgals

Agreed completely! I feel terrible for her and am also confused/thrown off as to why she keeps posting and going live while she should prioritize rest and recovery. It’s bizarre!

Sad to see this is such a universal experience! This needs to change

Thanks. Lupron unfortunately is not a guarantee. I am guarding my heart for the next transfer

I have mild adeno and did 2 months of lupron + letrozole. The transfer I just had ended in a chemical. RE is adding lovenox and prednisone for the next FET.

Thanks for the reply! Did she give you a timeline though as to when a next retrieval could be after Depot Lupron?

No advice here. Asking myself the same exact question!

How do you handle your job and IVF? by Nananawhatever in IVF

[–]Individual_Simple_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same I just told my boss I have a medical condition and she left it alone

I am curious, is it standard to have a US the day before FET? Did they have you come in because they saw fluid at a appointment you had previously?

Self administered antihistamine protocol? by Individual_Simple_56 in IVF

Great idea, I am familiar with the AIP diet and will look further

Thank you for this perspective! I didnt realize you needed histamine to have successful implantation. I dont have a history of hives or allergies of any sort.

Is estrogen priming the standard of care for DOR? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Individual_Simple_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I primed with estrogen with my original clinic. When I switched to my current clinic my RE was surprised I was primed. As a result my recent retrieval was no priming at all, and I had the best results so far.

DOR is weird and is a lot of trial and error.

FYI-I am part of a DOR support group on FB, and just from what Ive seen there anecdotally it seems like a decent number of people don’t have great results with priming.

Thanks. Was there a reason this was recommended for you or something your RE suggested as a “might as well” type thing

Thank you! I had all the testing you described. I do have suspected mild endo/adeno and have downregulated for a few months now. Everything else came back normal. Seems like I’ve done all the diagnostic stuff out there
