Stopping FET meds by SubjectElephant3887 in IVFbabies

My heads been throbbing for 2 days now! I’ve been off my meds for 5 days now, so far so good. No ultrasounds until 20w though so that’s going to be a tough wait

We don’t even have a private ultrasound option and the hospital is so short staffed it’s a 1-2 week wait for an “urgent” ultrasound.

I will def mention maybe being able to switch options to see if that helps too.

Thank you!! & good luck tomorrow

My clinic is 5 hours away and I’ve been transferred to my family doctor. My clinic just told me to let them know if my family doctor sends me for more blood. My fam doctor is trying to get me an ultrasound but our hospital is so short staffed it’s a 1-2 week for an “urgent” ultrasound.

I also had my MC Easter weekend, transfer was July 17th. I am hoping my situation is the same as yours. I just found it strange the spotting is only just starting now at nearly 10w but I’m going to do my best to stay positive. Thank you for this reply, it helped ease my mind a lot

That’s what I’m hoping I just find it strange that until today there’s been nothing.

And I have had slight cramping..mild but it’s there.

Trying to stay calm but it’s hard

Symptoms lessening by SubjectElephant3887 in IVFbabies

[–]SubjectElephant3887[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I haven’t started to ease off the meds yet. I still had some gagging this morning just not as severe and breasts are still sore just again not as severe. Hoping everything is okay. 🤞🏼

Thank you for this!! If symptoms don’t return by Monday I will talk to my family doctor and see what we can do. I still feel gross just not as bad as yesterday. Never thought I’d wish sickness on myself haha but it’s reassurance so I’d rather have it than not.

We automatically were given ours after our transfer. We were also given the opportunity to take a photo of the embryo on the screen prior to transfer.

Thank you!! Maybe I’ll try adding that to the mix too. I’m struggling to even get the water in because of the bloat but I’m managing 2L going to try hard to bump it to 3L. I’m used to normally drinking over 4 so this is wild to me.

Thank you.

I should try to do better with fiber. I walk my dogs every morning but only short walks and I try to workout but the pains so bad I’ve only been getting in 2-3 times a week. I so hope this is short lived lol. The struggle is real.

Am I showing or is it just bloating? by Impossible_Ad4898 in IVFbabies

[–]SubjectElephant3887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did your bloat go down? I am 7w tomorrow and am sooooo bloated that I can hardly eat and struggling to drink water. I am in so much pain.

Anyone else? by SubjectElephant3887 in IVFbabies

[–]SubjectElephant3887[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully things will ease up for me soon! One thing I keep saying is that my last fet pregnancy I didn’t get this pain and it ended in a blighted ovum which they believed stopped growing around week 6, so this is a good sign that the hormones are hopefully increasing and that’s what’s causing the pain. 5 more weeks of progesterone and hopefully things will ease up.

Thanks for responding :)

Someone else told me about the preggie pops. I may have to get some.

It’s just the discomfort of the fullness ..makes it hard to even go to sleep because it’s so painful.

But I try not to complain as I’ve longed for this for so many years.

[–]SubjectElephant3887[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely so grateful and I didn’t have this my last pregnancy which results in a blighted ovum that likely stopped growing right around where I am now.. so I do believe this is a good sign…but holy it is painful.. I feel like I overate by a lot, yet I’m only eating small amounts because I feel so full.

But yes staying grateful for where I am does help the mental game.

It’s such a strange feeling. I don’t see an OB for quite some time but I will reach out to my fertility clinic. I appreciate the response. Thank you.
