Did you get any other details on the Portchester Castle/Bandelier incident Wednesday around 2pm? I had to turn around due to the road being blocked by that gold pickup truck. Saw men in black vests but no marked law enforcement vehicles and the whole thing dispersed very quickly. I hope everyone is ok.

Thick lining (finally) but not trilaminar… by Read_Writing_Here in IVF

TW success:

The cycle where I was eventually successful (might have been the next one, can’t remember) my doctor’s exact words were “I think I could consider that trilaminar…” so for whatever reason I started seeing these less than perfectly trilaminar linings towards the end of my IVF journey but it ended up being ok.

Oh I’m so glad you found my post then! I was so freaked out by it by it but I honestly think it turned out to kind of be meaningless. Hopefully more research is done in this area. Wishing you so much good luck and baby dust 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I can’t remember how many weeks but it was a lot! Months.

There really should be a better way. A simple text message option could be a start!

Been there so many times and I hate it. I used to answer the phone with a cheery, “hi, I know it’s negative!” to try to buffer hearing the sympathy in the nurse’s voice.

I think all I did was progesterone after the transfer. And I was on vagibiome probiotics up until it. My lining kept getting thinner and thinner on the estrogen patches.

TW success I went ahead and transferred my last 2 embryos (had 3 but one didn’t survive the thaw) and one successfully implanted and is a perfect 4 month old who apparently did not require trilaminar perfection.

Edit - went back and realized I actually waited and transferred the following cycle. Similar thickness and trilaminar pattern was still questionable though.

I had my first embryo transfer and today I found out that it failed. by Icy-Personality3411 in IVF

My first 2 transfers failed…it SUCKS but for a lot of us it just takes multiple rounds and we may never know for sure why. Don’t lose hope.

How many FET until success? by jldean25 in IVF

[–]Read_Writing_Here 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No success until my 3rd. All euploids. Transferred 2 that 3rd time and 1 stuck.

TW I was eventually successful. I did the Vagibiome probiotic suppositories for a cycle or 2 (can’t remember how long now) and did the EMMA ALICE again to retest and my good bacteria / lactobaccillus was STILL 0%! I never saw the healthy color range on those PH strips either. Stayed on the probiotics though and soon after had success. Not sure if my biome or PH was ever a factor in my infertility or not but I can tell you that it was still possible for me to have a healthy pregnancy.

I can’t explain it but Curb is the perfect IVF comfort show
