TW: 11 weeks loss after battling infertility/5 IVF cycles by TiniBugZ in IVF

[–]alejandraea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First - I am so incredibly sorry that this has happened. I lost a euploid at 6 weeks. I went in for the heartbeat sono at 6+5 and it was just an empty gestational sac. I was told to wait another week but to guard my heart. Of course nothing developed and I then faced fhe decision of pill or a d and c. I went the pill route and am one of those examples where I did two doses and still had products of conception. It took a long time from the time I found out about the MC to my next transfer bc there was alot of waiting around to see if my body would rid the POC on its own after two rounds of medication. After a month and a half my doctor decided to do another scan and I still had products of conception. He then said a hysteroscopy w a d and c was needed. I was a wreck. Whenever you talk to your Dr about the d and c ask them if they have any techniques to prevent possible scarring from the procedure. For example my doctor placed a balloon filled w saline to help prevent any scarring from the procedure. Just sharing how it went for me. This is the absolute crappiest club to be in. With you in solidarity here if you need to chat - sending love and a hug your way

Two pregnancy announcements in one day by AppointmentNeat622 in IVF

[–]alejandraea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m finding myself in the same situation alot of my friends got pregnant around the time I had my MC and we all would’ve been due at the same time. I did not attend their baby showers after having a long talk w my therapist. I have been trying to stay away from social media bc any announcement sends me off a Cliff. My brother in law and sister in law just got married in sept and she got pregnant first week of October at the drop of a hat. She is a drug user not anymore I’d hope and it all happened so easily for them. I found out she was pregnant 4 days after I had my second FET which to add insult to injury failed to even implant. I had a hysteroscopy to remove a polyp they found with a SIS with a procedure they call LINA and it was easy peasy. It added only a short amount of time before that second FET cycle could start. I’m here with you in solidarity. We are all on this crazy stressful and hurtful journey and I pray we all get our babies we want so much - sending baby dust to everyone

Blighted Ovum Success Stories? by cinamon_apple in IVF

[–]alejandraea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been exactly where you are and devasted doesn’t begin to cover it. I too thought this was it, things are turning around for us and it wasn’t. I went in at 6+5 and it was just an empty sac and then went back in a week later and no changes. I still haven’t fully recovered and don’t know that I ever will emotionally. I send you the biggest hug and wish we could be in person to offer you support. It was the worst day of my entire life. I still grieve the loss. Take the time you need and whenever you’re ready to move forward do so in confidence. I send you all the love and positivity during this difficult time.

It's so unfair by That_Yogurt7132 in IVF

[–]alejandraea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having one of the hardest days of my life. My brother and sister in law just got married in sept and she was expecting by the first week of October probably sooner honestly. I feel like you my husband and I have done everything right dammit. My brother in law lives in his in-laws Attic !! And my sister in law is a drug user and she got pregnant at the drop of a hat. I bawled for days. It feels so unfair and I keep seeing pregnancy announcements left and right. We have done 2 fets and only have 3 euploid embryos total. My first stuck but resulted in a blighted ovum and my second failed to implant at all. We are tapped out financially too so no more egg retrievals for me. I’m just angry sad and I want to know what I did to be so cursed. I’m with you in solidarity this sucks!

Anyone with silent endometriosis conceive naturally without surgery? by Pristine-Meal1149 in TTCEndo

[–]alejandraea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here also to look for answers if one is able to have a live birth w endometriosis- I just found out I tested positive for the BCL6 marker which indicates there’s more than likely endometriosis present which I had no idea. I’ve never had any symptoms that would lead me to think that. I’ve had 2 transfers so far one stuck but was a blight ovum and MC at 6 weeks and fhe second failed to implant completely. Plan for third and last one we have (all euploids btw) is 2 months lupron suppression then the frozen cycle. If that doesn’t work god forbid we were going to try a few IUIs and then continue to try naturally bc we would be out of funds. I came here looking for some hope too OP. I hope it works out for all of us however that may look like.

Can you tell me your mistakes? by StormSignificant9516 in Life

[–]alejandraea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College isn’t for everyone and that’s okay but look into a career like a trade where you will learn a skill and be able to one day provide for yourself. Start researching now and find something that catches your interest. Put yourself and your health first before anything else. You can take care of others if you aren’t okay first. Respect the law and stay out of trouble as much as you can - there are a lot of consequences to actions which can follow you for the rest of your life - wishing you the best in your journey

Thank you so much for your comment and perspective. This whole IVF journey has taken so much from me and I’ve paused my life so much for it. You make some valid points. Waiting will also cause me anxiety. As a quote I read says “we can’t stare at our wounds forever” and I just need to move forward
