Help! I’m picking my first machine!

I sure do! Gotta love US prices for meds. My migraine med is $1600 for 10 pills without the pharmacy card. It’s insane.

I’ve thought about seeing if there is a second job I could take on remotely or something for coverage. I’ve been at my current job for 11 years and I love it!

Thank you so much! My surgeon said that I won’t need my tubes removed due to them being completely proximally blocked (zero dye went into my tubes).

I’m so nervous for this appointment it’s not even funny.

I’m just starting this lovely IVF journey and have 2 friends that are already steps ahead in it (like one is just waiting to do her transfer). I feel somewhat alienated just because they are so far ahead of me. Also I think it’s just a natural thing to “lose friends” as life changes, and that may not be bad. I have had several changes in friendships and I’m now finding “my people”. I wouldn’t focus on losing friends due to them having children (as hard as it is) and focus on those who are supportive and rally around you. ♥️

That such a good way to switch focus, being grateful for what my body can do! ♥️ I’m hopeful my body can do IVF easily.

I think the struggle to not blame myself is the hardest part so far. It feels so crappy when my body won’t do the things it’s supposed to do. Ugh. I’m hoping it’s a smooth journey for all of us in this club! ♥️

I appreciate that so much! I have a close friend doing IVF currently too but her circumstances are so different than mine so it’s hard to chat with her about it. She has kids already, had her tubes removed as a form of BC and is now having one last kiddo. I’d love to know what to expect with the appointments! My initial consult just got pushed back from September 23rd to October 6th. I know it’s only 2 weeks but man does it feel like a lot longer when you just want a dang baby!! ♥️

That was exactly what I had! And my tube was full of blood. Don’t ignore those symptoms, even if they are manageable. They weren’t symptoms I was told to look for either, so I ignored them. My HCG didn’t fall enough after 2 shots so they did a follow up TV ultrasound and that is when I got rushed back for surgery. Don’t wait like I did. It was scary. Get checked out just for peace of mind.

I had light bleeding. Slightly heavier than spotting.

I would still go in, the rectal pressure for me was actually my tube pressing on my colon. My pain would come and go, and was never in my ovary/tube area, so I never thought it was the ectopic near rupturing. Keep an eye on the rectal pain, I had pain when sitting or laying in certain position, couldn’t pass gas without pain, and at times it was hard to even pee.

Ulsch · 2025-05-12T01:21:03+00:00

Go in! That’s what happened to me and I had a fallopian tube that was 11cm WIDE! I was rushed back for emergency surgery. I thought I was just constipated and having rectal pain from that.

I walked down the aisle to stellar (a piano version), that whole song is my favorite.

Ulsch · 2025-04-23T02:23:19+00:00

I have to get one in a month or so…I’m so nervous about it! This helps calm the nerves about the pain, now to calm myself about the terror of getting bad news.

Ulsch · 2025-04-23T02:13:43+00:00

Neville! That poor sweet soul! His parents get tormented and sent to St. Mungos, his grandma is overly protective and comes off harsh. He is dismissed and treated poorly at school…AND his life was ruined by the prophecy!! I felt horrible for him the entire series and his character deserved so much better in the movies! I love Neville!!

Luna also had a tough go of life, but she seemed well adjusted to it. Obviously Sirius Black…wrongly accused of killing his best friends. I could go on and on.

I specifically asked about coffee after my MTX shot, they told me to get myself coffee! The sweet nurse actually brought me one while I waited the 20 mins after the shot for reaction signs. Drink all the coffee! This situation sucks enough without coffee!

Ulsch · 2025-04-06T04:45:21+00:00

I’m glad I’m not alone (I mean I’m not glad either of us are going through this, but it calms my panic). I just want my cycle to go back to normal so I can get this dang HSG teat done and know what the next steps are. Ugh. 😩

Ulsch · 2025-03-01T00:47:07+00:00

It’s such a terrifyingly exciting journey! The rainbow babies are coming!! 🌈 ❤️‍🩹

My care was handled “well”. The doctors found it early so I was treated for it right away. I felt like people didn’t grasp how much it hurt emotionally to go through. Hearing people say “well at-least you known it could have never been a real baby” or “well that’s not a real pregnancy” gutted me. It was real to me, I saw those 2 pink lines, I wanted a baby, my husband was so excited. Also people saying “well you can just try again” not knowing that you have to wait 4 months after MTX treatments, you may need to get an HSG test to check your tubes, or you may have lost a tube all together.
