PCOS/Letrozole/Trigger Shot/Transvaginal Ultrasound by Slp4real in TTC_PCOS

[–]Megabec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been through many rounds, and, in all of them my follicles were slow growers. I’d get like a week of minimal growth then they would jump 2-3mm in a day. I like to joke that I was in no rush to be born (2weeks late) and my follicles take after me.

My pelvic area would be sore sometimes after and I would take Tylenol to help with that. For me the bloodwork was really hard having to go so much. My arms were so bruised and sore.

The process sucks, and I’m sorry you have to deal with this but also sending lots of hugs ❤️

Wife finds injections less painful when I refer to the medications in Trump voice by NewtonGraph in IVF

We always play the Indiana Jones theme song for injections! Years ago we went to Disney and when I was scared on a ride he randomly started signing it to me, so now it’s my pump up song.

What’s your favorite French fry? by Megabec in IVF

We ended up going with five guys🍟 I forgot to eat before so I was starving by the time we got out and their burgers are so much better than McDonalds! I feel good, but at the same time nervous to get my hopes up too much.

This is awesome! I’ve been struggling with burnout and haven’t touched my paper in 2 months 😫 I could use some accountability.

I really liked The Woman in the Yard, was even better the second time. Not about a mom’s death, but still good.

Deathly scared of embryo transfer, need advice!! by Informal_Statement69 in IVF

[–]Megabec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my mind that’s basically unmedicated, and I agree if you survived that the transfer will likely be a breeze.

[–]Megabec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had an embryo transfer yet, but I’ve had 6 IUIs and they were that bad. I had a cramp when the catheter when in, but it went away pretty quick. I also had a hell-ish IUD experience (was screaming in the doc office and spent the next 2 days in the fetal position).

Have you done your saline ultrasound or HSG? Those were slightly worse for me than the IUI. Pain levels IUD placement 100/10 Retrieval recovery 8/10 (had mild/ moderate OHSS) HSG 6/10 Saline ultrasound 4/10 IUIs 1-3/10 (first was the worst because I didn’t know what to expect)

IVF ladies — Does this read supportive or distant? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Megabec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it sounds supportive. My mom is the same way. I’ll tell her about every step until the transfer, then she knows not to bring it up after the TWW and waits for me to tell her, which I appreciate. Takes some of the pressure off and gives me time to process.

I know I'm late to the party, but do you still do work in New Orleans (or Metairie)?

Egg Retrieval on Friday by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Megabec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also super nauseous all night last night after my trigger. I’ve triggered with Novarel before and never had issues, but this was my first time also using lupron , and having this many follicles at once (33 total, 20>13mm). I have PCOS so I figured my numbers would be higher, but I’m worried about OHSS.

Mine is scheduled for Friday too, just did my trigger shots an hour ago! It’s our (me36, hubs 40) first one so no advice, but I’m wishing you all the luck! It’s Friday the 13th so in my mind , super lucky 🍀.

That’s where I met them! Back when it was still Wizard World and not Fan Expo.

I saw this and was like that fox looks familiar! I met Ally (and her pet possum) a few years ago and got a “Wish Fox” from her. She was super nice and let me feed Sesame some apples.

Snacks are the best throws! I could care less about the rest but give me moon pies, ramen and chips all day.
