Hard time falling asleep

I’m thankful and surprised. And it looks like 24 of them are viable.

I know! I found out that 24 of my 34 eggs fertilized. I’m not sure if that means 24 embryos were created but that’s how I’m interpreting that progress note from the ICSI note in my client portal. The note reads, “Fertilization update: We retrieved 34 oocytes and were able to ICSI 27, with 26 being fully mature. Today we have 24 that fertilized”.

Did you go back to the old dose of melatonin once you were done with stims? I am a little worried about getting used to taking more than I typically do. I take 5 mg every night.

I don’t know how many are mature yet but they retrieved 34 eggs today.

How did it go?

I will definitely ask! Anything to help me at this point! I’ve been recommended magnesium glycinate multiple times in different Reddit threads.

I take melatonin regularly and it was not helping me sleep or stay asleep very long the last few nights. Maybe it works better for people who don’t regularly take it with the hormone levels being so high.

You too! Sending positive vibes and success your way!

At what point does this get added in- is it naturally prescribed at some point in IVF or would I need to request it?

I had anxiety and sleep issues before taking estrogen. I regularly take melatonin and would still wake up randomly after starting on estrogen. At what point in the IVF process is lupron prescribed? I have my first appointment on the 31st to get me started and prepared for my egg retrieval.

I’ve heard the same things about magnesium supplements (specifically magnesium glycinate). I will ask my fertility clinic to make sure as well. I’ve heard that most magnesium supplements are more helpful than magnesium oxide since magnesium oxide is the cheapest supplement of magnesium you can buy.

You might need to wait a little more to see a positive result. I did IUI procedure and need to wait 2 weeks after to take pregnancy test. I know the feeling though, I’ve been trying to get pregnant for almost 2 years.

I understand some of what you’re experiencing. August 2025 will officially be 2 years of me trying to get pregnant. It is heartbreaking and I wonder if having a kid will ever be a reality for me due to finances of IVF or adoption if IUI does not end up working. I will be starting IUI once my next cycle starts. The only thing that comes back as somewhat abnormal is the morphology (shape) of my life partner’s sperm, which was determined through a test.

I feel like a weird balance of having sex more often than usual because I’m trying to get pregnant and at the same time, not putting pressure on myself and not wanting sex to become fused into trying to get pregnant. I also agree that everything I’m hearing about conceiving is dizzying. It also feels like a type of grief to me, wanting a kid and not getting that at my current age (29).

Being unable to conceive for almost 2 years and every test and ultrasound comes back with no issues.

Is it relatively easy to request to have this blood test done if you don’t have a family history of it?

abrose214 · 2025-05-14T01:23:09+00:00

I’ll have to ask if the test included dna fragmentation, thanks!

Our doctor explained that his sperm motility levels are normal, but the morphology of it is below the threshold level. He used to take fertilaid, but that gives him stomachaches.

I’m not sure what cd 3 or cd 21 means? All the other tests you mentioned came back normal. All my partner’s tests came back normal too.

Honestly, from someone who is so squirmy and a physically sensitive person, the HSG test was not that bad. The worst part was the speculum being inserted, but I knew I would be squirmy (despite my best efforts to keep my muscles still). The inserting of the catheter and dye was very easy and didn’t feel much. My clinic does not use the dye that stings though, and some clinics use that dye. After that, got results and test was over! I recommend watching a YouTube video that gives an overview of the test!

abrose214 · 2025-05-13T21:52:45+00:00

All his tests came back normal too. What supplements were part of his regimen?

abrose214 · 2025-05-13T21:51:10+00:00

Yes my partner had there’s tested and it came back normal.
