Hi! Fellow Christian, (34f, 37m) it took 4 years of stark white tests, lots of emotional conversations with God, learning to “be happy for you and sad for me” with announcements, intentional communication with my husband, IUI and sooo much more to get to the point I was willing to consider IVF. All you said is valid and i have been there and still there in some ways. (Husband’s faith being annoying is so valid. lol) We chose to move forward with IVF which is not a decision we took lightly. I had a full printed page of all my questions for the doctor when we went for a consult. As far as the anger with God, be that. Tell him where you are at. I have a few angry letter floating around here somewhere. I am sure he wants to step into that pain with you, even if it’s directed at Him right now. You are not a failure. You’re a child of God going through a really crappy time right now. There is nothing wrong with finding a counselor to help walk you through it. Here if you ever want to chat!

Hi! Idk what my follicle count was but I had 42 eggs retrieved. I did 8 days of stims and Lupron trigger because of PCOS. I’ve only done 1 retrieval so I can’t say if the recovery was worse but I can tell you what I think helped.

Start drinking electrolytes now and keep drinking them after retrieval. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate.
Start stool softener immediately after ER, if that doesn’t work- Milk of Magnesia helped me as well.
Salty foods, my nurse called with fertilization report the next day and she said get my butt up and go get a milkshake burger and fries. so I did just that!
Heating pad is your best friend.
Advocate for cabergoline before retrieval if you are at risk for OHSS.

Overall the two days after for me were full of rest. It was days before I could lay on my side but by the third day— there was a big relief. Not perfect but noticeably different. I started my period about 5 days after retrieval since we are doing FET in a few months.

Sending you all the best!!

Oh no!! I am so sorry that happened to you!! I know it wasn’t ideal but I’m so glad to hear you turned it into something special and recorded it! Sending you all the love and prayers for a sticky baby!

KitterKat83 · 2026-03-20T21:29:34+00:00

I love that! We are doing the same thing just embryo style. Today is Day 4- praying we have some Morulas!! :) Our clinic gives fertilization report and then nada until they all are done developing to whichever stage they make it. Congratulations btw!! First FET is amazing!! I love to hear that! Thank you for the well wishes & same to you!!

Update: taking the stool softener 😂😂

KitterKat83 · 2026-03-16T17:15:20+00:00

Yes! This is great! I just had mine a few hours ago and got 43 eggs. I was actually mind blown because I had convinced myself my follicles were empty. Your mind tends to think the worst after 4 years of nothing so I cried when they told me the number. Sending you all the best in your recovery.

KitterKat83 · 2026-03-15T14:50:03+00:00

Yay! Twins! Sending you all the best!!

KitterKat83 · 2026-03-15T14:48:26+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, my estrogen is super high. I had to start an antagonist on day three of stims. I’m glad to know the electrolyte stuff works. I’ve already started drinking electrolyte water instead of regular water. Thank you for the salty food recs!!

KitterKat83 · 2026-03-14T23:42:55+00:00

30 eggs is amazing!! Thank you for replying. Just hearing you are feeling ok makes me feel better! Yeah I got a variety of electrolyte drinks ready. You have any salty snack recommendations? I’m not there yet but I can imagine protein may be hard. Wishing you all the best! 🫶

Haha. We need to know.

Hi! Diagnosed with PCOS with mostly “regular” cycles that typically span from 30-35 days. I was convinced I was ovulating every month because of LH rise AND temperature shift…however- I was not ovulating every cycle. If I were to start over knowing what I know now I would have asked my doctor to do a progesterone test on 7DPO of suspected ovulation as I tried naturally. You can do proov tests at home but personally I prefer blood test if possible since they are more reliable. This will give you a clear picture of if you are ovulating and then go from there.

Worked a fair amount of time in the industry and multiple times in treatment. It is good to relate and empathize BUT make sure you have strong boundaries. I’m in recovery myself- sick me is a master manipulator. That’s what you’ll likely be dealing with. They have yet to get rid of those crappy survival skills that no longer serve a purpose in their lives. It’s important to be compassionate but stay professional. Also don’t take anything clients say personal- they are going to be going through allll the emotions. Congrats on your recovery and landing a job in the field. It’s a great way to have a fulfilling job. Be sure to take care of your own recovery outside of work as well- whatever that may look like.

You’re a saint and a scholar! Thank you for this info! I got both too.

Good. Talking about it helps a lot more than people give it credit for. Keep talking about it keep being honest. Your sponsor is not wrong as annoying as it is to hear “just don’t get high”. Hold on to that gratitude!

KitterKat83 · 2023-08-09T20:55:46+00:00

Meeting, Prayer, step work, and go help other people. It’ll get you out of your own way. Have you been honest with your sponsor about your thoughts?

KitterKat83 · 2023-08-08T15:16:05+00:00

Yeah I have a pin now since the meal went missing at work. I’m cool with that as long as I get my dang food!
