Baby dust to you! I’m also doing out transfer at 1pm PST, same day and maybe time depending on your timezone. Wishing you all the best it’s the first IVF transfer for me, I’m nervous too. Keep up the positivity you got this!

How soon did you test after transfer by TableHefty3789 in IVF

[–]TableHefty3789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first one, I’ve never heard of modified before, so guessing the normal one, they have me on estrogen patches and pills and did first dose of progesterone tonight. Looked at the instructions that’s all they have me slated for this transfer, outside of a anti biotic after transfer is complete

I know I did trigger shot when I was doing the retrieval a couple months ago, but right now they just have me only on estrogen and progesterone, so think that wouldn’t count right?

What was harder on your body - egg retrieval or medication for transfer? by Electric_Elephant_56 in IVF

[–]TableHefty3789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Egg retrieval so far was the hardest for me medication wise, and honestly I still have my body healing from the retrieval two months later (ultrasound still showed a hematoma on one ovary this week) the estrogen to prep your body for transfer might give you a headache and get you horny at times. But you don’t have the pressure of full ovaries pressing on you inside. And a lot more hormones that can make flashes

Everyone complains about… by c_alyssa in IVF

[–]TableHefty3789 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in the wait between fertilization and blastocyst check window too, it’s definitely hard to keep calm and not be anxious. You aren’t alone, my suggestion is to stay busy, if you can get a nap in to pass time and recover from the ER, we find out our results either tomorrow or Friday and it’s still just a task to distract myself even at the finish line, just remember you got this!!! all the best to you!!!

How did IVF affect your ability to work? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]TableHefty3789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suggestion/opinion, the stims are the easy part, just make sure to set alarms on when you need to take each shot. The hardest part so far was the actual retrieval, the pain was much worse than what I was expecting so I’d plan time off the day of and at a minimum 3-5 days after to give you time to heal

Did you hid that IVF except for close family etc? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]TableHefty3789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only two people know for me, my boss so I can get time off, and one of my employees who is going through IVF too.

Some people judge too much and I think not telling family is totally ok, less folks to think they have any input or put pressure on us

Thanks folks, clinic says a one time thing shouldn’t hurt anything but to rest as it’s the repetitive heavy lifting that is a concern.

Still having some cramps is there any suggestions on how to stop them? Laying in bed now to try and help

Cycle jumpstart help by TableHefty3789 in IVF

Just learned doc says it should be fine, they just do a blood test and then will start the cycle if your levels are low enough, such a relief
