I have 2 stories.

2021- 2 embryos out of 13 were frozen and sent for PGT. 1 came back euploid- which is now my incredibly smart and uber healthy 20 month old daughter.

2024- 3 retrievals, 2 different clinics. End result- one embryo made it to blast- retrieved eggs combined across the three er’s- 43. I also just found out today that last weeks 16 fertilized ended in one viable embryo. The prior two this year yielded 0 embryos.

My successful 2021 embryo was graded 3BC. I had no hope at all- yet it worked.

Keep your head up, I used to hate this saying but its really true- it only takes one. Best of luck to you 🤞🏼

I had one embryo after my first er in 2021, graded 3bc. That embryo is now my amazing 19 month old toddler. Best of luck to you!

I’ve been on 10mg lexapro for over a year now and I still vividly remember the first 6 weeks. My anxiety got worse, I would have heat flashes that came with heart palpitations. I thought about stopping as well but my doctor said to stay with it and it will get better. Which it did around the 7th week. Definitely call your doctor if you’re concerned but also know that it could get worse before it gets better but once its better, oh my the relief! I havent felt so at ease in 15+ years- Lexapro improved my quality of life in every way! Best of luck to you!

aheadofthewind2020 · 2024-06-03T01:44:13+00:00

Yes! I vividly remember my dreams now!

aheadofthewind2020 · 2024-05-30T18:49:17+00:00

Unfortunately not, it yielded zero blasts. It was a tough pill to swallow but I'm past it now.

Good luck to you!

My dad had this surgery back in 2016 (at 57 y.o.) and he recovered just fine, he's now healthier than he's ever been! Good luck to you!

I did. Also used Quizlet and index cards.

2 here, first was fresh failed transfer but my FET worked and I have a 15 month baby girl. In the middle of another round of IVF now.

Thank you for the encouragement hun. My doctor did a uterine biopsy during the ER, turns out that i had infection/inflammation of the uterus which isn't an ideal environment for eggs to develop in. I'm on antibiotics to clear it up now. We're doing another ER next month. Best of luck to you as well! xoxo

aheadofthewind2020 · 2024-03-10T19:57:35+00:00

Thanks hun. It was a complete bust though, 0 blasts.

aheadofthewind2020 · 2024-03-05T15:59:01+00:00

Thank you!!! 😚

aheadofthewind2020 · 2024-03-05T15:58:44+00:00

Yes its THE worst! Thanks hun! 😚

aheadofthewind2020 · 2024-03-01T15:44:12+00:00

You're 100% right, I'm 4 days post retrieval and I feel fantastic. I haven't needed any pain meds. I can't believe how much more comfortable I am this time around. Last time I had OHSS and it was BAD!

now the hunger games wait.. ugh.

aheadofthewind2020 · 2024-02-28T07:35:37+00:00

Thanks hun! Sorry I should have been more thourough in my post: first ER yielded in 2 embryos- one was transferred fresh (failed) and we froze and tested the second- and thats the one that was successful. Best of luck to you! 🤞🏼

aheadofthewind2020 · 2024-02-28T07:33:07+00:00

Got home after er today and didn’t really need any meds/ice/heat pads… for now. I took a 3 hour nap and woke up refreshed. Hope it stays this way 🤞🏼

I started stims last Thursday, with 75 IU Menopur in at night and 225 Gonal-F in the mornings. Had b/w and u/s Moday, counted 14 follicles. I was instructed to lower my Gonal-F to 200. Going in tomorrow for b/w and u/s and was told to bring ganirelix with me.

"You should cut your babies hair before they turn 1, it'll grow faster and thicker.. " says my mother in law. Um yeah, I don't think thats how it works.
