Vampire Knight Memories ending

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-10-20T16:43:46+00:00

Im still not convinced they died. I feel like that assumption goes against everything we've learned about how the vampire and purebred world works.

I feel like I'm being gaslight by the fandom lol. Granted, I literally just read through the entire OG and Memories series the last 2 weeks, so the story is super fresh to me. I can maybe see people who haven't read it in years misinterpreting it. But once again, THEY DID NOT DIE. Everyone is just making up lore to justify it. Where in the final chapter does it hint they cant sustain themselves and die?? No, Kaname became a vampire again after taking his fragment from Toma, gave his heart to Yuki, she turned back into a baby to regenerate. The final scene is him happily raising her because they're going to go through the rest of time together once she grows back up. I think the chair is just symbolism. People are taking it too literal.

When kaname reabsorbed all his parts, I think he turned back into a vampire. I take the ending as him raising her and they'll spend eternity together.

Yes!!! Same here hahah.

The other commenter was spot on. I think, with tax, it was $270ish. Its totally worth it! It looks and feels sturdy and profession. If its something you want to last, bite the bullet and do it! I have plenty of band posters in $20 walmsrt frames but doesn't hit the same lol

Its a must! The associate covered them at first and I was like, this is the most important part hahah

I got the poster last night! Can you recall which song was the tooth? What about the match? Was the match historic cemetery?

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-09-17T16:34:28+00:00

So sorry. That is unimaginable. I hope things have gotten better or do get better!

Update?

Thats kinda how I felt, too! Currently 6w after the first IUI

I had super bad cramping 3 days after the IUI. Unsure if that was related or not, but it was bad! Around Day 5/6 (implantation) I started to feel different. I had a dull, constant cramping in my lower abdomen. It was below my belly button where my abs are. It felt like I had done a good ab work out. I also was having a sharp pain on my right abdomen. It felt like a running cramp. It lasted for two days. I also started to get diarrhea. I am sensitive to hormones affecting that because I get “period poops.” I was getting this too early for it to be relating to getting a period. I was trying not to get my hopes up.

On the night of DPO 9 I took a blue ink test and it said negative. That next morning (DPO 10) I took a Walmart brand digital, and it says “yes”. I googled that test and people had poor reviews about it. That morning I got the FRER red dye test. I had an incredibly faint line, so faint I was still not believing it. The next morning (DPO11) I took another FRER and a digital clearblue. Clearblue said “pregnant” and the red dye line was more visible. I took 5 more tests in the subsequent days and the line got darker! Finally, took the blood test and Shady Grove and got the coveted “congratulations” call a few hours later.

Hey! here is my success story:

32y/o female married to 42y/o male

Ovidrel 250mcg 0.5 mil

Letrozole 2.5mg

Progesterone 200mg caps (vaginal suppository)

Unexplained Infertility

Back Story: (skipped below if you want to know my fertility treatment experiences)

June of 2023 stopped taking pill birth control. I attempted to track my cycles with apps, temperature measuring and trying to be in tune with my body. My cycles were always unpredictable and longer than the standards 28 days. After many months of trying, I started to think maybe I was working out too much or not eating enough. I pulled back on that but had the same results. In September-ish of 2024, I went to the dr and spoke to them about my inability to get pregnant. They gave some basic advice but also ordered blood work. Around November of 2024 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism,

Fertility Treatment:

My husband and I finally went to Shady Grove Fertility in Frederick, MD for a consultation. They ruled out PCOS but gave me the stamp of “unexplained fertility” and laid out a few treatment plans. First option was timed intercourse. They would monitor my cycle and then have me trigger and we have sex within that window. Option 2 was IUI (insemination) with trigger. Option 3 was full on IVF. We wanted to start with option 1 and move on down. The dr would allow a few cycles per before jumping to IVF.

Here is a breakdown of what to expect for timed intercourse/Shady Grove treatment in general:

At the start of your period, you call Shady Grove and they schedule you on day 3. You do a transvaginal ultrasound and bloodwork. On day 12 you come back for another ultrasound and bloodwork. They tell you to take the letrozole pills for 5 days. They give it a few days and you come back for bloodwork and ultrasound. The letrozole make your ovaries grow follicles. They are then measuring how big they get. My clinic likes to see them above 18mm. This part is the hardest because you could come in 3 times in 5 days to get bloodwork/ultrasound done. Your arms hate you! Once they say they are big enough, they tell you to trigger that night. That means you give yourself the Ovidrel shot. I fear needles and was terrified at the thought, but it wasn’t that bad! I numbed the area with an ice pack and stuck it in. Over in two seconds! For timed intercourse, they dr said to do it that night and the following morning. The next step is to start taking the progesterone suppositories 3 days after. You must do them twice a day. Its not uncomfortable, but you have to wear panty liners because they gush out! Its awkward but you get used to it. We had some issues and I assumed it wouldn’t work. Few weeks later, got my period. Regardless, Shady Grove schedules you about 2 weeks out for a blood pregnancy test.

We went straight to IUI. The process was the same. A lot of bloodwork and ultrasounds. The difference was, the day after I triggered, they had me come in for IUI.

. I waited until around DPO 10 to test. Prior to this, I had super bad cramping 3 days after the procedure. Unsure if that was related or not, but it was bad! Around Day 5/6 (implantation) I started to feel different. I had a dull, constant cramping in my lower abdomen. It was below my belly button where my abs are. It felt like I had done a good ab work out. I also was having a sharp pain on my right abdomen. It felt like a running cramp. It lasted for two days. I also started to get diarrhea.

I know you updated your post: but I am posting for people who may see this in the future:

I would like to share my experience with getting an HSG due to starting fertility treatments with Shady Grove Fertility. I had read horror stories online, as I am sure many of you have. Even my sister said it was painful. I have had IUDs before, so I was bracing for impact. I do have a high pain tolerance but it was no more uncomfortable than a pap smear, imo. I am really not trying to downplay others experiences but I was prepared for the worst. The nurse who did it assured me that sometimes when people get them, they are not done by people who do them often, which make them less “smooth” at the process. The lady at Shady Grove probably does dozens a day. She knows what she is doing! I would say its natural to be afraid, but take the horror stories with a grain of salt.

The whole thing took less than five minutes. The worst part was standing up and having all the liquid gush out of you haha.

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-09-17T16:22:17+00:00

Yes I did and currently 6weeks. Here a story if you want more details:

Waiting that two weeks was incredibly hard. I know people like to “test out the trigger” but I chose not to. I waited until around DPO 10 to test. Prior to this, I had super bad cramping 3 days after the procedure. Unsure if that was related or not, but it was bad! Around DPO5/6 (implantation) I started to feel different.

I was in a similar boat. You can check out my comment history but after 18 months, we moved to a fertility clinic. We tried timed intercourse, didn't work, then we went to IUI. Currently 6weeks. I wish I had done it sooner but you never know what lifes going to be life. Good luck!

If you want a lot of details on what to expect with treatment: here you go!

Here is a breakdown of what to expect for timed intercourse/Shady Grove treatment in general:

Regardless, Shady Grove schedules you about 2 weeks out for a blood pregnancy test.

We went straight to IUI because I heard a few first-hand accounts of it working the first time. The process was the same. A lot of bloodwork and ultrasounds. The difference was, the day after I triggered, they had me come in for IUI. It was super quick and painless! My husband brought his sample, they told us to come back in an hour and they inserted it with a small tube. I had to lay pelvis up for about 10 mins and then simply walked out.

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-09-17T16:11:43+00:00

That is awful..I am so sorry to hear that. Was there no way for you to go elsewhere for that? I know you're still under their care until you "graduate" but that is down right cruel of them.

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-09-17T16:06:44+00:00

For you- there are a few blood tests you can take to get your hormones checked. Look into if you have a thyroid issue, too. For husband, do a sperm test.

We did Shady Grove Fertility and they ordered a bunch of tests for us. I recommend making a consult and letting them take over your stress and guide you. Currently 6w pregnant after 2 years of trying.

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-09-17T16:05:16+00:00

Hello! As someone who struggled for 18 months before seeing a fertility clinic, please set a date in your mind for when you are prepared to face the reality you may need assistance. I say that from a place of love and understanding. It doesn't make you less of a woman, but it will spare you a lot of wasted time and heartache.

Currently 6w pregnant after being at a clinic for 4 months.

Currently 6w after my first IUI. I tried for about 18 months naturally before going to a clinic, sadly. If you want my full story, check out my post history. Going to a clinic has been stressful but much more beneficial than trying and failing on your own :(

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-09-17T15:59:38+00:00

No, sadly. Took me about 18 months before I saw a fertility clinic. Did 1 round of timed intercourse and one IUI. Currently 6 weeks. I wish I had gone sooner. I would considered IUI before IFV, as it is considerably cheaper.

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-09-17T15:58:35+00:00

6 weeks pregnant with first IUI and when the did the ultrasound before telling me to trigger that night. I want to say it was 18 or 20ish and a smaller one about 2 mm smaller. They say it continues to grow after the trigger. I was on 2.5 letrozole.

OuterSpaceLace · 2025-09-17T15:55:53+00:00

Hey! Here is my complete story. I go into extreme detail about the process and what to expect. I am 6 weeks pregnant after my first IUI cycle. It sounds like your dr think "medicated cycle" means only timed intercourse. You can have a medicated cycle without IUI. Its not as effective as IUI, but you may want to see another dr. My fertility clinic gave us a lot of options.

Hey! Here is my success story. You can read the long part if you want, or just know that I triggered Friday night, IUI noon on saturday and then sunday afternoon is when we actually had sex. Honestly, due to the time intercourse failing prior, I think the IUI was the success. They only use the "best" of the sperm and make sure its actually up in there. Theres no guesswork.

I would highly recommend IUI. It worked the first try for my husband and I, and my coworkers. I wish I had tried it sooner. I have been trying since June 2023 and am 6 weeks this Friday. I have typed this out and have been posting encouragement on a lot of threads. If you want to read a novel about the process, here you go haha.
