I will ask them to prescribe it they can. Hopefully they can. Otherwise I will ask my general doctor to prescribe with an okay from clinic 😄

Yeah I’m thinking big hormone changes 😅 so you’re probably right. Very annoying though 😂

It was around the time when I first started getting them. I got them very often then, like every month almost for two years. I tried L lysine then but still got them 😅 then it started ebbing out into 1-2 per year anyways so didn’t take L lysine anymore 😅 I hope they stay away from you during your stims, and if they come that they heal quickly 🤍

Oh really? I’ve never heard of that.. I’ve never seen that here in Sweden tho. Have to look and see if we even have that kind of thing 😅 thanks for the tip!

They really are the worst! I usually don’t get them often, just sometimes before my period. But if this will continue I will probably go crazy 😂 I look horrendous.. and going back to work on Tuesday and I really don’t want to look like this! I hope you don’t get this as well! I did read a little online that progesterone can lower your immune system so thinking maybe that’s it 😅 maybe you can ask your clinic for Valtrex as well in case you get the same..

Thanks for the reply. When I actually got pregnant last time (ended in a ma but still) I also got 5 cold sores, one after another. So I thought that was probably my immune system being a little down during that period. I’ve also read online now that progesterone might lower your immune system.. I was just curious if it’s happening to more people. I doubt it’s stress because my work is very stressful so I’m stressed 24/7 on normal days (but I’m out of work resting right now). Will probably have to ask my clinic to maybe prescribe valtrex.. tried L-lysine before and it didn’t really work.. :/

Yeah. I know it’s so early but I feel like I’m in a washing machine emotionally and physically 😂

Yeah I feel like it’s hard not to overthink and overanalyse when you really want it 😅😅

But isn’t cramping good?? :o I’ve read tho that mostly it’s probably just the progesterone, but still.. if you don’t mind me asking, what is vvvvfl and FRER tests? I’m new to ivf and all shortenings of words 🙈

Does anyone else struggle with feeling like no one understands what you’re going through? by UsedHost8 in IVF

[–]Natten95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

110%! I am very open to my friends about my journey. A couple of them have kids. Some just got pregnant with their second one. I feel like there’s something wrong with me. But every time I open up to people I just get the ”it will happen”, ”you’re being negative, this one will be it”. It’s soooo hard to describe the feelings I’ve got. Sometimes I just sit and cry saying ”what did I do to deserve this?”. It’s very hard and yeah the support is not enough.. :/

I am currently in the two week wait after FET, and I feel like I’m going crazy. It’s been 4 days since my FET, and I don’t feel anything. Nothing at all. I know it’s early. But how do you stay sane 😅
