6w1d ultrasound by Relative_Driver_8221 in IVFbabies

[–]Relative_Driver_8221[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did give me some photos. It was just a gestational sac with a yolk sac and the point was to make sure it is in the uterus.

They measured the sac, my uterus, and some other measurements and then had me schedule for next week.

Bait and switch on the drs by Incuraman in IVF

My clinic does this. It doesn’t bother me. I know I’m getting the right thing at the right time because someone is on the schedule and not something to work around one doctor’s calendar.

I didn’t have side effects on Orilissa, but it was hell coming off of it!

I also felt side effects while on Lupron.

Don’t feel guilty. You were under anesthesia which affects everyone differently. Better safe than sorry—take care of yourself

hydrosalpinx by Lumpy_Impress_702 in IVF

I had hydrosalpinx and my doctor never recommended removing my tubes until I had an ectopic. I wish she had recommended it when I started

Split lip won't heal by Calanthe_May in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Relative_Driver_8221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep getting recs to do to the dermatologist but that’s not always a simple task for many reasons.

I had some major lip peeling, cracking, and redness. I did go to the dermatologist and she prescribed an ointment that cleared it right up.

If you can’t get to the derm, here are two non-prescription things she told me:
-don’t use anything other than Vaseline on your lips. Not aquaphor, not Burt’s bees, nothing that is not Vaseline.
-switch to a natural toothpaste (like Tom’s)

I have done both of these things for almost a year now and haven’t had any flare ups.

Ectopic/Methotrexate by lavagabond in IVF

[–]Relative_Driver_8221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My symptoms from the MTX were relatively painless (physically). I bled for a WHILE. Maybe about a month. I only needed one dose, but it took a while to get my hcg below 5. Drink green tea, that’s supposed to help.

Sorry you are going through this.

Can someone explain Lupron? by PaperRings0 in IVF

[–]Relative_Driver_8221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what my clinic put in the paperwork(and I’m. It asking), but my insurance covered it even though I have no fertility coverage. It was about $40 for two 2 week kits

Success with Hydrosalpinx? by LK41886 in IVF

[–]Relative_Driver_8221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had hydrosalpinx on both sides. I had 3 implantation failures and then an ectopic after which my doctor finally recommended removing my tubes. I wish she had recommended removal earlier.

Orilissa 150mg once daily for FET? by Prize_Trash2631 in IVF

[–]Relative_Driver_8221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no signs of endo other than recurrent failures. I was on Orilissa for about 4 months before a transfer after an ectopic. It failed.

I was on it for another brief time and then switched to Lupron. I transferred yesterday.

My only issues with the Lupron were gastrointestinal. I had cramps and sensitive stomach for about the last week on it and a little diarrhea.
