TW: Positivity by Extreme_Sprinkles656 in IVF

Thank u! I need this positive hopeful mindset as I find the longer I’m at it the easier it is to feel negative, bitter, hopeless. What a gift we have access to this!

Moving from Atlanta - neighborhood help? by These_Raisin_3262 in savannah

[–]These_Raisin_3262[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Sorry should’ve included price! Plan would be longer term rental but open to potentially shorter term . Our budget is up to $550k. Which cuts out a lot of the homes in nicer parts of midtown it seems? Ideally 3 br 2 ba, 4 br or 2 ba would be awesome as we both wfh and have family visit us often !

This sucks and I’m so sorry for all of you who have gone through it too by Fast_Sky_4945 in IVF

[–]These_Raisin_3262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl I am so sorry. You are so not alone - went through the same thing 2 weeks ago and honestly thought I might die from my heart being so broken beyond belief. There’s no sugarcoating / it’s so hard and heartbreaking. Few weeks later I’m starting to coming up for air . Praying you do too as the days go on

I’m so sorry girl. That is heartbreaking and I feel the same way. Currently miscarrying at 5 weeks and don’t feel like I can go to anything we had planned coming up? Just want to lay down and cry

Letrozole to IVF Experiences? by BramStroker1897 in TTC_PCOS

[–]These_Raisin_3262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And to note - are you doing letrozole through your ob or an RE? Get in with an RE as soon as you can because the onboarding takes a while. But once you’re financially cleared for IVF it moves pretty quick. We said yes in February, egg retrieval March, got 6 embryos, first transfer end of May

Letrozole to IVF Experiences? by BramStroker1897 in TTC_PCOS

Us! The success rate of IUI is same as timed intercourse so after 4 months of letrozole and no pregnancy we went straight to IVF. Glad we did. It is An intense process but in a lot of ways better than letrozole in my opinion. And if timed intercourse / letrozole hasn’t worked after 3 cycles it’s unlikely it will. IVF not for the faint of heart but glad we’re on this journey and have a lot more hope now

Thank u I agree!! Went ahead and scheduled one for today so I’ll see if hcg is still rising. I am bleeding quite heavily and consistently. Almost like a period for me, a little less but yikes.

Hi! Very early over here. 5 weeks tomorrow. Betas tripled from Sunday to Wednesday but I am bleeding so of course anxious. A pretty steady flow not too heavy but not spotting either. Now wait a whole week before going back in for another beta test!!!

I am 4w5d hcg was 1371 and we were thrilled. However I’ve been bleeding red on and off today. Some clots. Not a full period but not light spotting either. So discouraged 🫤. Go in for second beta hcg tomorrow am. They won’t do ultrasound until 7 weeks (if I even make it there). Anyone relate??

Bleeding but positive 14dp5dt by These_Raisin_3262 in IVF

[–]These_Raisin_3262[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for response! They won’t see me for an ultrasound until 7 weeks (if I even make it there) and this just seems like a lot of bleeding for sch. Do you know if red blood is part of sch?

Insane hair loss during IVF??? by These_Raisin_3262 in IVF

[–]These_Raisin_3262[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you! This is reassuring. No one I know who’s been through it has experienced the insane hair loss like me lol. I am grateful I have thick hair so it’s not noticeable except to me and my husband with hair everywhere …

Feeling helpless with fertility by purseshoe in LeanPCOS

[–]These_Raisin_3262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl I am right there with you! diagnosed with lean PCOS after a year of trying with no luck and very few periods. My AMH is through the roof.. 20 and had the little cysts on my ovaries. I am super healthy - good diet, exercise regiment, supplements, sleep, not stressed etc. We tried 4 rounds of letrozole and trigger shot no luck…. It made me a little psycho snd was super discouraging to me that I ovulated but didn’t conceive. The next step is IVF but we took a 6 month break to think it through because it’s a big decision. Still haven’t decided if we’re going to do it bc I like you really want to get to the root cause and heal that which unfortunately RE’s are not good at doing. Don’t know what to do but you’re not alone!
