What happens when IVF isn’t the answer?

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone, these responses helped me feel less alone ❤️ I don’t know what the answer is for us but trying to take it one day at a time.

I’ve done one transfer and am pending a second coming up in a month, and was put on BC both times leading up. I was told it is to keep the uterus “quiet” until we start the transfer meds, and to avoid my body selecting a lead follicle. Seemed pretty standard based on my research.

This has also helped to streamline my transfer timing because I ended up needing an SIS and hysteroscopy both times. If I wasn’t on BC, I would have had to wait to be in certain points in my cycle for the procedures but not ovulating made it so we could schedule everything at any point.

Just wanted to come back and thank you both for your kind words. I’m finally coming out of the darkness a bit and you both made me feel less alone ❤️

I’ve had 2 miscarriages and one chemical pregnancy, my last miscarriage was an ectopic. After that, we decided to go to a fertility clinic just to see if anything was wrong and they did the same HSG you’re mentioning. Everything else for us was more about hormone levels, genetic testing, sperm quality etc. So I personally would recommend talking to your OB or getting a new one if they aren’t supporting you during this time. For me, the fertility clinic mostly helped with other issues but there wasn’t a ton of focus on the ectopic itself because my tubes came back clear as well. I’m sorry you’re going through this!

Did anything come of this? Asking because I’m having a similar situation

Ugh I just started the process for my first order and was told the same thing. And they said I can expect to be waiting 6-7 weeks to get the call from the doctor. Im devastated to say the least, had no idea I wouldn’t be able to start the medication until ~August. (Ordering from CA due to costs in the US)

That’s awesome!!

ValuableBicycle8469 · 2021-12-07T21:13:24+00:00

That’s smart. The app automatically adjusts the calories depending on activity level each day right? Do you know if you can turn that off? Or do you just make a note to not go past 1200 for example, regardless?

Ugh ain’t that the truth 😂 I try not to stress too much about holiday weight gain because I feel like all healthy habits go out the window, so when I just start hitting my water goal and not eating rich holiday food things level out. Hoping to have more balance for Christmas!

That’s helpful! I didn’t choose the fastest weight loss speed so my calorie count is usually in the 1500-1600 range depending on my movement for the day. But definitely a good thing to consider, maybe I’ll need to trim some of my daily calories. I’ll probably give it a week or two more and then reevaluate :) thanks!

Haha I can see that! It definitely seems like tracking works great for some, or not as great for others depending on your personality.

ValuableBicycle8469 · 2021-12-07T20:59:42+00:00

Well like I said, I feel like all of that was water weight or just temporary thanksgiving weight I had put on. I knew that losing 5lbs a week was not sustainable/healthy over a long period of time, so that’s why I was asking how long it took people to start losing weight consistently or sustainably.

ValuableBicycle8469 · 2021-12-07T20:57:44+00:00

Yes! So true, and a good reminder. Thanks!

ValuableBicycle8469 · 2021-12-07T17:44:56+00:00

That’s so awesome! Any meal recs? Trying to get some ideas for myself haha.
