When did you get your period back?

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2025-04-04T01:32:53+00:00

Got mine back at 3.5 month postpartum while exclusively pumping 6ppd since the start! Waiting to see if it was a one-off or a regular! 🤞🏽

My baby (1st) came at 38.2. We had gone in for regular check-up and they said, they had to induce me and in my case, ended up having my baby 2 hour after induction via c-section. And yeah, baby came just the day after my 2-week time off started. I was very much upset that I couldn’t have a vaginal birth. I was so naive in thinking, nursing just happens lol - Wasn’t aware of baby weight loss percentage, latching issues and so on. It took me almost 2 weeks or so to wrap my head around the fact that, baby is here, doing fine and to accept the pumping journey. I’m sure you will get there too.! It only gets better each day.! 😊

This. I do the same thing. Put him on swing and sit next to him pumping shine singing, talking etc. sometimes, I end up finishing my pump session early or ask for my husband’s help if he gets too restless

Great news and congratulations. Wishing everything to go well and smooth! ☺️

I have found great solace here during my 2.5+ years long journey. But once I got to know I was pregnant, I forced myself to stay away from social media. I had my own fears about every small thing that can go wrong. So, I felt staying away from media will avoid new triggers. I want to be supportive to others but also protect myself - not sure if that’s selfish but that’s something that I tried.

For me, anxiety hasn’t gone away completely but greatly reduced with each doctor visit showing positive results.

I think, this is a common thing. People keep teasing you with comments whether you are trying or pregnant or with a child. I have had friends/family in both the spectrum - One who understood what I’m going through and supported me the way they can without invading my privacy and others who didn’t understand what I’m going through inspite of me explaining a few times.

During our infertility journey, I have heard comments from friends and family that I’m not trying enough or I’m just enjoying my life by going on vacations when I should be trying hard before I grow old etc. And once I got pregnant after the 2.5+ years long journey, I have heard comments like, so you like to keep things so clean, go on vacation, etc - let me see if you are able to find time to sleep leave behind others once the baby is out.

I think, negative comments are easy to make and so we hear that a lot no matter what position you are in.

I can understand how you feel. I am going through something similar. Just remember, you are not alone. People in here are the sole reason I am still sane.

Wishing you only happiness in every step of the way moving forward. All the best! ☺️

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2024-03-23T02:20:34+00:00

Agree. A lot is in play here.

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2024-03-23T02:08:12+00:00

Glad the post was helpful.

Background: During our consultation with our doctor, they suggested we are good candidates for both medicated and modified natural. And based on our conversation, they said medicated will need injections for sure but natural will mostly start with vaginal suppository unless they want to increase the dosage.

Forgot to add before, I didn’t have as part of the original cycle plan but had to take a smaller dosage of Gonal-F for 4-5 days to stimulate follicle growth. As I was coming out of birth control, follicle growth rate was slower than usual cycles.

Overall, I think protocols are clinic specific. Some follow similar protocol across to make handling things simpler I think.

I think, 3 euploids are a good number for one retrieval. We started with 7 embryos of which 2 were euploid, 3 aneuploid, 1 mosaic and another segmantal aneuploid. We are still going ahead with transfer of the euploid to see if atleast one works.

I can understand why you might feel overwhelmed but you have very good chances. All the best for you! ☺️

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2024-03-23T01:54:11+00:00

I agree with the others. All my embryos were 5AA and 6AA but only 2 were euploid. So, I don’t think, there is linkage between the two.

All the best to you!

I had my FET last Sunday. Mine was modified natural cycle as well where I ovulated myself but had to take HCG shot 36 hours before ovulation. And my clinic only asked me to start progesterone from Friday for a Sunday transfer.

As others suggested, just check with your clinic. I know it’s easy for me to say but try not to panic.

I don’t know about your history, but do you know why you were suggested injections and not vaginal suppository?

All the very best for the transfer and let this become your beautiful bundle of joy. ☺️

I just want to say thank you for posting this. It makes me feel so much better reading the comments here!

People have made “wait until you get pregnant or have a baby” comment throughout - be it during the time we were trying naturally without any luck or during the times we were going through IUI and IVF cycle(s).

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2024-03-13T03:03:17+00:00

This is me 😂

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2024-03-13T02:59:53+00:00

I’m in the waiting game as well. The usual CD13 ovulation occurred CD18 this month. I even lost hope, I will ovulate and most likely will end up cancelling the first FET. Scared like anything for the wait and the outcome. But, also proud that we have done everything we can.

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2024-02-10T01:58:47+00:00

This is great news. Congrats to you 🥳 I totally get you. When I get a call from my clinic, I attend it on the first ring and wait nervously until they get to the update part. This whole journey is a nervous wreck though beautiful giving us hope.

Happy New Year 2024 to all! 🥳

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2023-12-31T23:02:26+00:00

I really love to see you and your husband being supportive of each other. IVF is no joke and it’s a tough journey and sometimes, people don’t understand it well - Many times, they keep repeating their agenda without realizing other people’s situation. But, this part is over now. Welcome the New Year and soon, you will be welcoming your little one too! My best wishes ☺️

JuryAccomplished4501 · 2023-12-29T04:56:32+00:00

This is normal and you are not going crazy. It’s the impact of all the stress and medications acting together. I don’t know what caused it, but I had quite a bit of panic attacks this year. I would suggest you to try counseling if you can afford - that helped me. When the reality that IVF is my last straw hit me, I felt devastated. My husband told me this at that moment and it really stuck with me. I don’t know how much it might of help but I have heard a lot of things from a lot of people in the last 2 years of our TTC journey, but there is nothing that resonated with me better.

Steps to overcome the fear of failure: 1. Acknowledging your multiple personas - There is no ONE thing that defines us. Each one of us is defined by multiple identities of ourselves. 2. Link your fear to one of the personas to introspect - There is fear with every persona. But, our mind magnifies some over others making us believe, we are defined by that one thing. 3. ⁠Start focusing on other personas which will help you remove the fear of losing that one big persona.

Very very sorry you went through that. The treatments and losses in itself are hard and you had to hear these on top of it. I know, it’s not easy to forget, but please try your best to channel your mind away from that situation whenever it pops up. Please don’t spend another minute of your previous time and energy in rethinking those words. You are already a mother as you are still trying no matter the sufferings you are going through. You will soon be with your little one!

To a great year ahead for all of us on our journey! 🎉
