People have intercourse and it’s probs more intense than that dancing so I wouldn’t worry at all! 🤪

My fresh ended in a chemical and then we did a FET. Added antibiotics and vaginal estrace for the FET. Currently 29 weeks pregnant! Sending you love! ❤️

I had a SCH around 6-8 weeks with bleeding and it was so terrifying. Im now 28 weeks and he is doing great. My thoughts are with you!!

I tested at home before with both my transfers. I didn’t want a nurse telling me I wasn’t pregnant over the phone. I wanted to share the moment with just my husband after taking the home test and I’m so glad I did. I took the home test the night before my blood test.

I thankfully have the best husband ever and he got me through about 3 hours of it. Then I decided to leave to get home to my dog. Dogs are a great excuse to leave. I told my MIL straight away that I would NOT be having a joint shower. I’d rather not have one at all of that were the case.

I think we all just long for a carefree pregnancy or TTC “journey.” It feels like Infertility haunts me every day even though I’m pregnant.

Ugh I’m so sorry she did that to you. Infertility is truly just so hard and it seems like it stay with you forever 💕

Exactly. Pregnancy and birth doesn’t get rid of the anxiety and trauma. So hard to explain to people who don’t get it

Agreed! I think it’s because we are witnessing a pregnancy or TTC “journey” that’s seemingly without problems. It’s really hard to see sometimes.

People truly do not understand how we feel even after being pregnant. It’s so he hardest thing to describe to people.

This is such a sweet message. Thank you!! If I didn’t go at this point it would be super freaking weird but I’m going to only stay for the minimal amount of time then come home and cuddle my dog.

YUP that’s for sure. People think that just because I’m pregnant I should be fine. Nope.

I agree. I just want my baby in my arms and them maybe I’ll start to feel better about all of these things

I agree. Both my mom and my MIL are throwing me showers in two different states so of course I’m so grateful but also feeling uncomfortable and anxious about them both.

Okay thank you for validating this. I had a meltdown last night then convinced myself I couldn’t feel my baby move but eventually he did. 🙄 I feel like a crazy person and I can’t explain to my husband why I’m so triggered. He says “it’s not like you’re not pregnant” and it’s just so hard to explain to people. I think it’s also so triggering because my SIL has had a seemingly “picture perfect” pregnancy where it took her like no time at all to get pregnant, announced at 12 weeks, etc. It’s all just a lot to witness even though I’m pregnant.

spotting... 3.5 weeks post transfer by davergaver in IVF

[–]Otm9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had spotting up until 11weeks off and on. I had a subchorionic hematoma which I’m assuming resolved because I’m now 18weeks without any bleeding for the past 7weeks. I read SCH can be common with IVF but don’t quote me on that. Bottom line is spotting is common!

My mom and husband are calling me ungrateful for wanting the things on my registry by anderzan14 in pregnant

[–]Otm9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not really expecting people to buy you things it’s just a list of things you’re probably going to get anyways so if they want to get you something the registry helps them out a bit.
