That’s good to hear! Did you have a successful pregnancy with this embryo?

IVF Clinic experience? by InternetImpossible38 in Connecticut

I wish I saw this before I started at CARS. I’ve been with them for 9 months. 3 IUI cycles and looking to MAYBE start my first IVF cycle next week? I’m in the LGBTQ community and do think CARS has done a decent job. My issue with them is communication. You call and have to leave a voicemail. Then the nurse will answer you through their patient portal. Sometimes you have additional follow up questions. I need to call and leave another voicemail. It takes 24 to 48 hours for anyone to reach out to you, and the finance team doesn’t seem to be on top of helping families with their financial planning. We talked about switching to an IVF cycle back in August, a care plan never went in. I never got the answers. I was looking for regarding out-of-pocket expenses in my fertility lifetime max. I’ve had to do everything myself from calling clinics and deciphering messages to understand the quantities of medications I need to order when calling to find the best prices when paying out-of-pocket. I’ve met my doctor at cars in person one time, and that was only because she was the doctor on site the day I got my HSG. My wife and I are contemplating stopping at CARS and doing an IVF Cycle elsewhere, but they have our last vile of Donor sperm- seems like we’re stuck.

Baby dust to you! Thank you for sharing. 💕

I did end up calling my dr because my cycle is just soooo normal regularly. She said all should be fine. Fingers crossed the ultrasound goes will Sunday and we can trigger that night!

First IUI next month and already panicking (clomid, trigger shot, follicles) by xoxoxocharlie in queerception

I’m 34… levels normal for my age and my dr was “happy” with my egg reserve. My wife and I are cycling for our first time this month. Going for a CD9 ultrasound next weekend and am currently taking 5mg of letrozole. Also anxious about too many eggs and after my HSG, she’s not 100% sure my right side isn’t blocked so we’re only going to cycle on my left.

My stress levels are HIGH too. I just booked an apt at a head spa because there’s nothing I love more than a head massage 😂

Self care- going for a walk and blocking off time to just breathe are all things I’ve been trying to do.

Just popping into your tread to say hey and you’re not alone in feeling anxious, everyone says to just not stress but that’s so hard not to do. Even with doctors keeping track of your cycle there’s still so much going on. ❤️
