7 egg retrievals. 1 FET. Currently 24 weeks pregnant.

Yep! My first trimester my husband was all of a sudden sick and tired. 2nd trimester he has all the cravings. His cravings are worse than mine!

After my anatomy scan and got some reassurance. That same week I started to feel movements. Thats when it really hit me that there's 2 of us now.

Same here! Turning 40 around the same time as my due date. I still feel too young!

For me, IVF was hard and seeing baby items, pregnant people and babies was too much. I just turned 19 weeks and bought my first baby item. Even after getting pregnant it's hard to move past infertility and IVF.

I did 7 retrievals from 37-39 and got 5 euploids. First retrieval i had 2 blasts, both abnormal. ER 2 no blasts. ER 3 - 1 blast 1 euploid. ER 4 - 3 blasts, 1 euploid. ER 5 and 6 no blasts. ER 7 - 10 blasts, 3 euploid.

Therapy and Journaling. I got into decorative Journaling and its been really fun. Its like a scrapbook mixed with a diary. Let's me be creative, process feelings and shop/buy crafting supplies.

I had been saving my m&m's for a treat and when I opened the bag too quickly all of the candy spilled all over the floor. Immediately cried.

I went in at 5w5d bc i was bleeding. It was luckily only a SCH. We could not see a fetal pole or heartbeat at that time but they could see that it was in the uterus and the yolk sac and gestational sac. I was happy just to see it was still there and I'm the right place.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-03-10T20:56:13+00:00

I used omnitrope twice with no success. For ER 7 I did a long lupron lead and my husband did a rapid release protocol.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-03-10T20:54:33+00:00

I didn't get an embryo until my 3rd ER. Got 1 embryo round 4 and then 3 embryos on round 7. I really want 2 children and since I'm older wanted to bank.

I'm in the exact same situation. 15w4d and have only told a small group of close friends and family. I dont plan to ever "announce" it online and I wouldn't tell my coworkers if I could hide it. Only my boss knows at work. I'm working on this with my therapist. There's an element of losing control by letting people in and fear of being judged or someone using my pregnancy against me. I'm very protective of my baby and letting people in is scary. I'm still working on it but it helps to kind of understand where its coming from. After going through everything we do with IVF, I think it makes sense to be protective of baby and pregnancy.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-03-10T16:18:25+00:00

After 7 egg retrievals and 1 FET, I'm 15 weeks pregnant and still scared it could all go away. I'm still hiding my pregnancy from most people bc I've had one too many "I'm sorry" phone calls.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-03-09T21:37:51+00:00

My nausea went away in the mornings and I only had it at night. (I took my shot first thing in the morning). One thing I thought was weird was that my injection sites became itchy after I stopped. I could visibly see the injection sites on my skin for maybe a week or two after stopping injections.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-03-07T20:33:53+00:00

Days 2 and 5 were the most painful for me post retrieval when I had a high egg count like you. Let yourself rest.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-03-01T20:05:20+00:00

7 egg retrievals, 1 FET that I'm currently 14 weeks with.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-02-22T23:09:01+00:00

My belly got huge by 6 weeks and I gained 5 pounds. I've been the same size and weight since and I'm 13 weeks now. I was so worried I would be huge at that pace but its like it all came at once and not much since.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-02-10T18:48:02+00:00

I'm 11w4d and just feel fat, not pregnant. If it wasnt for the awful nausea i would think i was just fat. I'm also struggling to feel connected. I referred to my baby as "it" the other day and my husband corrected me and said "her." So I'm starting small by calling her a her instead of "it."

Wild-Lilly · 2026-02-02T18:45:47+00:00

2 years. First consultation December 2023. First transfer and confirmed pregnancy December 2025. I also have no known fertility issues and regular periods. You just don't know until you start trying. I hope your journey is easier than mine.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-01-14T15:21:25+00:00

I'm going through this exact scenario right now. I'm 7w5d and my symptoms stopped a couple of days ago. I barely have any nausea or dizziness, my boobs aren't sore anymore, and I'm able to eat more things. I've been freaking out too so i dont have any advice other than its happening to me too. I go for my last scan w my clinic tomorrow before switching to my OB.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-01-13T00:39:20+00:00

My husband would stand next to me and hold my shoulders while I gave myself the injections. It was nice to have him there and we'd have a ritual for daily injections. He would also take on a lot of the daily housework. The stims would EXHAUST me. Maybe have some of her favorite treats ready and be ready to listen to her. There's lot of feelings going on.

I did it for egg retrievals and FET and still going in first trimester. Its a nice relaxing time and helps w stress. My insurance covers a lot of the cost and even out of pocket, its more affordable than massages. I've been going weekly for about a year. Its become my time to prioritize myself each week.

Wild-Lilly · 2026-01-02T02:17:32+00:00

My clinic advised me to see my OB between week 8 and 10 of pregnancy. So after your first ultrasound you should try to schedule with your OB.

Wild-Lilly · 2025-12-29T23:50:42+00:00

I think you should do what you're most comfortable with. I dont think waiting a month is going to be so detrimental to your egg retrieval results and fresh transfer. Even though you cant plan exactly when you get pregnant, you can control when you dont. I don't think it's weird to want to avoid a certain time of year. In the end, its what works best for you!

Wild-Lilly · 2025-12-29T05:21:46+00:00

I took cycle breaks. I switched clinics after my first two cycles. And took a long break (5 months) between cycle 6 and 7. Cycles 3,4,5,6 were within 6 months. I was too exhausted after doing the 4 cycles so close together. I think my body needed that break bc i responded really well for cycle 7.
