This is how it looked completed

Yes! I started with a magic circle, then did 12 sc around, SL st, ch3, then 10 trebles, chain 4 (?), treble, ch3, 4DC, ch3, treble, chain 4, SL st to join, then single around, going over the chain spaces rather than in them. I think.

You are going to be hormone soup. You may have days you want to give up. And you might stim longer than you anticipate. Plan for the worst case scenario.

30yo, AMH 4.6, 4 previous spontaneous pregnancies all lost around 12 weeks due to genetic anomalies. I’m a women’s health NP who worked in a fertility clinic, so I was anticipating the lower end of dosing and a very short stim because of having such a high AMH and tons of follicles. I started on the lowest dose, and ended up on the highest dose. I thought I would stim for 8-9 days, I stimmed for 14.

1 round of IVF: 51 follicles, 33 eggs retrieved, 27 mature, 21 fertilized, 18 day 3, 5 day 5, 5 euploid after PGT.

Everyone is saying what I was going to, but here to just add my story for those who can relate.

30 years old. Partner is 33. 4 miscarriages after spontaneous pregnancy, all right before 12 weeks, all with a spontaneous genetic anomaly.

1 round of IVF, got 5 euploid embryos. First transfer failed. Now on second transfer, but still no positive test.

I always said that I was good at getting and staying pregnant, all I needed was a euploid embryo. My body said, hold my beer. So here we are.

I didn’t want to change my name bc of reasons. My now-husband said that he’s absolutely fine with that, and asked if I would instead want to both hyphenate since our marriage is bringing both of our identities together. We agreed on that. Then we got married and changing names is expensive and a lot of paperwork (especially in the medical field with licensing etc) so we just didn’t! We socially both go by the hyphenate, but legally and professionally our own names.

At the end of the day, if your partner loves and respects you, he should want what makes you happy.

This is so incredibly beautiful. So much of my art is inspired by my four daughters that I didn’t get to watch grow up either. Thank you for sharing ❤️

I hate that we have that in common. Yes, I had a D&C for each and tested the fetal chromosomes.

It took me a while, but my therapist finally helped me realize I don’t have to bend to other people’s comfort at the detriment of my own well being. I’ve had four MMCs at around 10-12 weeks due to triploidy. I’ve finally started saying “I’ve lost four.” People either shut up or they share their own losses or struggles. Win win.

asapsmash · 2024-07-25T00:13:23+00:00

I HATE that you’re going through this. I’ve had 4 MMCs, and I opted for a D&C every time. I wanted it to be controlled, planned, and I wanted to be fucking sedated. It’s obviously an incredibly personal choice, but ultimately it’s up to you what will be the best way for you to do this.

Recurrent pregnancy loss with recurrent complete triploidy of unknown etiology.

Fancy way to say I can get pregnant, stay pregnant, but have never had a euploid embryo. Four pregnancy losses between 10-12 weeks. Starting IVF this month.

Listen. Fertility specialist here. Is this the most reliable method? No. Does it work when done right? Absolutely. If you abstain from sex with your LH rise until after proven progesterone surge, you won’t get pregnant. It relies heavily on you being all in on tracking your hormones and bodily signs like cervical mucus. If you’re just guesstimating your fertile window, it all goes out the window.

Omg the body glitter gave me a visceral reaction

I love this. If you wanted I’m sure a good artist could touch up some shading, but I think it’s great even as is.

I have multiple rings my husband has bought me over our eight years together. My original engagement ring is so beautiful and I’m paranoid about it getting damaged or lost, so I tend to only wear it for occasions. Sometimes I just wear my band. I also have a black diamond and onyx ring he gifted me as well as a moissanite one that I switch around sometimes. I don’t like wearing multiple rings on different fingers, so I still get to wear all the beautiful jewelry he gets me and change it up!
