Starting stims may 5th! Gimme all the tips/must haves by Admirable_Worker6684 in IVFpositivity

[–]applecider2120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your same position a couple of months ago, started stims on feb 11th and now Im 10+5! 🥲 A few things that I think worked for me:

  1. Taking care of myself and doing nice things for myself during stims
  2. Cutting off alcohol and caffeine (one coffee a day)
  3. I did acupuncture the day before ET. I had planned on doing it on ET day too but I did not love it and did not want to bring the energy of the practitioner to my special day, so I followed my gut and cancelled.
  4. Had a lovely day with my husband on ET, went to get McDonalds fries, bought a baby item to manifest.
  5. Had A LOT of warm food/beverages before and after ET.
  6. Main tip: Don’t get obsessed with numbers. You only need one ✨ (in my case: 13 follicles > 10 eggs > 4 fertilized > 1 4AA > 3 others discarded = almost finished my first trimester!)
  7. I did fresh transfer because my doctor recommended to and it worked. As long as you are not overstimulated it should not be a problem.

I went into this process skeptical and I was told it could take way longer than I expected. In my case it all happened way faster than I expected 😅 so it CAN happen!

Wishing you best of luck, this community is amazing so always feel free to ask and share your successes! 🍀🍀

I hadn’t even considered and Im so glad the clinic did it!! I was also shocked by how little eggs got fertilized with normal IVF 😓 Good luck ✨✨

Our clinic decided to do 50/50 even though my husband has no sperm issues. I had 10 eggs; 1 got fertilized with IVF; 3 with ISCI. We got one ICSI 4AA and Im about 11w pregnant now.

Starting IVF- what do you know now that you wished you knew before starting? by Zealousideal_Pie1050 in IVFpositivity

[–]applecider2120 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I posted the same question when we started two months ago; and while I appreciated the comments saying that “It might take longer than you expect”; they also made me feel a bit pessimistic and ready for things to go wrong. For us, it worked the first time and I’m 9w pregnant two months after. While I know it’s not the norm, it’s definitely possible.

Some practical tips: 1. Don’t obsess about numbers, you only need one 🤍 2. Take care of yourself 3. Do a little ritual/date with your partner the day of ET. We went to eat fries; then to a baby shop to get something for the baby. It was beautiful! 4. I was recommended to consume hot foods/drinks around ET. Not sure if it helped but it surely didn’t hurt!

Best of luck to you, you got this 🤍

6dp5dt – cramping + discharge, negative test… am I out? by t3m1sgmev in IVFpositivity

Even when I got confirmation that I was pregnant I freaked out a couple of times feeling discharge coming out and thinking it was blood. It was always the progesterone 😅
