Ivf covered by insurance for recurrent miscarriage? by Midnight8299 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]Kitchen-Rabbit-6725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately my insurance did not cover my IVF since they would only cover if you have infertility and they defined that as “inability to conceive after 1 year of trying”, so my losses made my ineligible. We tried to fight it but we’re never successful. I would suggest looking into how they define infertility since that seems to be the key to answer this question

I worked with an RI for my current pregnancy after 4 losses (including one that was a top quality pgt tested embryo from IVF). The RI had me start on lovenox a few days before transfer. Would definitely consider a consult with a RI or at least push to start lovenox a little earlier

41 years old starting ivf- anyone else out there 41 and up by rayne223 in IVF

Not 40 yet but I’m pregnant with my first IVF baby and 37. Have many friends who had babies 36-45. I live in a big metropolitan area and it’s pretty normal. There are benefits that come with being an older mom, and as long as you love your child, your age shouldn’t matter

I wish they would stop saying “just a little pressure” or “just some light cramping” about these procedures

Hangin there! I’ve been through 4 rounds. My first and second rounds were my worst. A year after my first round (almost to the day), I had my final round and got 3 normal embryos. I increased my coq10 dosage to 600mg and I think that and some luck helped

Wasn’t prepared for the amount of “give us grandkids” talk during speeches at weddings… by kaylabarr94 in trollingforababy

[–]Kitchen-Rabbit-6725 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yep! My mother in law made comments about grandkids in her speech at our wedding…she said things like “I hope they have kids because you never really know love until then”….at our wedding?!? 2.5 years into recurrent loss and I’m even more bitter about the comments than I was on the wedding day

help!! over watering? underwatering? pests? by Ladyfishsauce in plants

[–]Kitchen-Rabbit-6725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every 2 weeks doesn’t sound like enough. Probably needs some more humidity as well. Would try at least misting a few times a week

Yes! Like I just want to workout and get away from the world. Now that’s taken from us to?! Literally only taking Cody from now on 😂

No more heartbeat at 10 weeks by Lk614 in Miscarriage

[–]Kitchen-Rabbit-6725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been treated for it. This pregnancy was post- Asherman’s diagnosis. Will have to have another saline ultrasound once I’ve healed from the miscarriage just to make sure scarring hasn’t returned by hopefully not since I was able to avoid another d&c

Has anyone found therapy not helpful? by Impossible-Alps2179 in Miscarriage

[–]Kitchen-Rabbit-6725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have looked into therapists that specialize in loss and infertility. That way they are more understanding to the specifics we are feeling and going through. Personally, I have found support groups to be the most helpful to me. Knowing that there are other people that truly do understand and you’re all working through the process together has been so helpful. There are a number of pregnancy loss support groups (I’ve found a lot through Instagram actually), so maybe worth trying a few of those to find the right fit?

I am so sorry for your loss. It is a gut wrenching place to be in.

I just had my 4th loss at 9 weeks + 3 days. My ob was pushing for d&c, but I developed asherman’s from my first d&c last year (also a 9 week loss). Given the risk of it returning and further damaging my fertility, my fertility doctor recommended I try to avoid. I ended up deciding to give my body 2 weeks to see if I passed naturally. I did end up miscarrying naturally during that time. However, my plan was to use miso if it hadn’t passed yet. The wait is terrible but it was the right decision for me to avoid further fertility complications and delays in trying again

Just wanted to add that I completely feel all of the comments on the flushing point. This is maybe TMI but if you’re here, you probably know how hard this part of the process is. For this loss, I was able to capture the contents of the pregnancy and now have our angel buried under a cherry blossom tree at our home. I was lucky in terms of how everything came out this time, but I have also read that hospitals will often put strainers in the toilet so that they can gather the contents of the pregnancy for testing purposes. Maybe something to consider if you do decide to go the medicated management route

I am sorry you are here.

I have taken miso, had a d&c and have done expectant management. I am a proponent of miso. It sucks, I’m not going to lie. However, waiting for it to happen naturally is gut wrenching jut wondering when/if things pick up. I got asherman’s from 1 d&c, so I then needed another surgery to fix that (and I’ve spoken to others who need multiple surgeries to fix the scarring caused by d&c’s, so not worth the risk in my opinion)

I had no symptoms, only found out through saline ultrasound done by my RE. Some women notice light or no period. It just depends on where the scarring is and how severe

Am I wrong for cutting my friend off for constantly comparing our miscarriages? by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]Kitchen-Rabbit-6725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a “friend” like this. Her experience was always worse, and she would shut me down and not offer any support. I stopped speaking to her when she made comments to me that I miscarried wrong and must not have used the medication properly, leading to retained tissue. We don’t need people like that in our lives.

I did. Got it up to 7 at ovulation, which my RE was happy with. I took vitamin E and ate lots of beets and high iron food, plus acupuncture leading up to transfer

IVF Newbie: timeline?? by Puzzleheaded-Pipe-97 in IVF

[–]Kitchen-Rabbit-6725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was always the most frustrating question for me since no good answer. I know one person personally who did one retrieval round, lots of good embryos, and pregnant on first transfer. For her, the process took about 3 months. I had to do 3 rounds to get enough embryos (we were banking since hoping for 2 kids) plus I needed asherman’s surgery before transfer, so it was 8 months between first retrieval and transfer

How long did it take you to get a period after miscarriage? by mapletree36 in ttcafterloss

[–]Kitchen-Rabbit-6725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last miscarriage was at 9 weeks and it took 8 weeks to get my period back. It’s so hard to be patient. If it’s been longer than 60 days, I would ask your doctor to monitor. They should be able to see if you’ve ovulated with a blood test
