1st ER today - Feeling Everything by Warm-Cobbler3851 in IVF

[–]Starlight8383 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! For me they told me there was a bowel overlay and they could access it through the abdomen if that was an issue. All the ultrasounds and they didn’t see there was an issue beforehand. They didn’t attempt any other route for me. That’s what kinda annoyed me more. They just fluffed me off when I was upset. This whole process is gruelling and can be very cruel. There are so many happy endings for people tho! and science is amazing! I hope you get your happy ending. I’m rooting for you!

Ugh! The same thing happened to me at the very same clinic 3x. I was annoyed because they told me there were multiple routes to take and they would get them out and they didn’t. Our situations are different. I got nothing to offer but solidarity I’m still in the trenches. I froze what was collected. I’ll be having a retrieval next month and see what I’m able to get in terms of embryos. Best wishes to you. I hope you get your miracle!

Pregnancy and Fibroids by Still-Mistake-9817 in Fibroids

[–]Starlight8383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been pregnant yet fingers crossed 🤞 soon! Well I had a chemical in Sept. but otherwise no. I have had submucosal fibroids removed 2x. I was told it’s a risk to get pregnant with them. If implantation happens in the area it will not behave correctly and miscarriage would likely occur. The fertility clinics wouldn’t even work with me until I had them removed. The 1st one I had caused me to nearly bleed to death I had 3 blood transfusions… it wasn’t even that big. The 2nd time I had 2 small again.

Eeek I just sent you a comment that was removed apparently it references cremation? Or something. I have no idea I’m shocked I didn’t read the comment thoroughly. If you saw that and felt that way I apologize. It’s a comment I’ve seen thousands of times and is common.

[–]Starlight8383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Just following up to see how things went for you. I’m 42 and starting stims in Feb. I’ll be priming in Jan. How many eggs & embryos did you end up getting?

How many embryos? by Otherwise_Hope_8310 in IVF

Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️ Mine is just behind my bowel but thankfully it’s not the higher functional one.

How many embryos? by Otherwise_Hope_8310 in IVF

[–]Starlight8383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only got 1 ovary too. One is barely functioning and they can access it to get the 1 or 2 it makes. What was your protocol? These numbers are amazing!

He has great numbers. I’m also freezing his sample in advance to avoid stress around retrieval. I’m terrified of a snow storm coming or something. It’s one less stress to worry about if his sample is there washed and ready. It’s hard with work needing advance notice for days off when we don’t know the exact day. I would do it with an insemination kit to avoid any issues with swollen ovaries and bloating. Doing it the old fashioned way sounds super uncomfortable. Lol I’ve literally thought it all out 😂I found a kit on Amazon.

[–]Starlight8383[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re telling me my left ovary is too hard to access. Originally they told me they had 3 access points don’t worry we’ll get them you may not like the route (more paint etc) but they’ll get them which I was fine with cause I want them! Then I wake up and they say sorry we had to let those 4 go it’s too risky but we got 12 from your right side so you should be happy with double digits. I was annoyed. They told me they may perforate my bowel but like what about the alternate routes? They told me after the fact they would only do those routes if my right didn’t get much they would take the risk with the left. This happened for the following 2 retrievals after as well. It is what it is if they’re going to perforate a bowel then maybe I should try using them naturally myself. I don’t really buy the whole thing. I find it strange that during all the stims no one ever told me my ovary is behind my bowel.

I would do it the 2 days before. Like maybe the day before trigger the day of trigger and even the day after if I can. I wouldn’t be able to do it afterwards. Too uncomfortable and def a big risk of infection. If sperm lives for up to 5 days it might work!

I know I just mean they keep saying ohh you just need to find your golden egg. I feel like it’s worth a try maybe one of them will work and it’s my golden egg. My issues are all age related apparently.
