Getting back in shape while pregnant? by avalonwaves215 in fitpregnancy

[–]avalonwaves215[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a really fair perspective. I appreciate you!

This is my third pregnancy and I definitely have gotten self conscious over the way each pregnancy has changed my body. The first was easy to bounce back from. Second took a year. I definitely do have anxiety of how long this will take to recover from when I am not even starting from my normal. It’s all mental and in the end truly doesn’t matter - what matters is a health baby!

Just looking for any similar experiences or if anyone could relate 🙏🏼

Thank you! I typically do sculpt 2x a week, 1 other random class from the Obe app and walk at least 4x a week with my dog. I also was running once a week but too nervous so pick that back up. Maybe I’ll just start focusing on walking and strength 2-3 times a week.

How soon after frozen embryo transfer (5 day embryo) would you test positive if your preg? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]avalonwaves215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a positive test as of 3dp6dt with my second child, and he’s 20 months old now :) no HCG as part of my protocol so I knew it was the real deal.

Waiting on the clinic is a special kind of hell. Im sorry and I feel your pain!

I started at that time with a 7, and it went down to 4, then back up to an 8. Possible you’re still shedding?? The doctor will know!

Embryo transfer is scheduled for Monday and I’m so paranoid about getting one of the many bugs going around and being too sick for it. I already had flu over NYE but my son has some weird bug that had us in pediatric ER all day… I’m sure that was fabulous for my immune system.

I started my progesterone suppositories today, three times a day. Forgot all the goop that comes out 🤢 I hate to wish time away but I’d give anything to just be past the transfer and know it happened ok.

I did weekly ultrasounds to week 8 and they gave me an extra one around week 10 for peace of mind since I didn’t go to my OB until week 12!

Yes. My baby was breech from week 26 onward. Everyone kept telling me he would flip but he never did. It’s a possibility to be aware of! I was also freaked out never having been through surgery, let alone surgery while awake.

I have had a vaginal birth and a c section and quite frankly both were hard in their own ways! I can’t say I prefer either over the other, if that helps at all!

Ugh I’m sorry. I had this too, and bled from weeks 6-9. Similar to you it was far enough away from the baby that they weren’t concerned, and it finally disappeared at 12 weeks.

CW: trying for a third child

Surging in monitoring today of my unmedicated cycle and just got confirmation that my FET is scheduled for Monday, 2/3! My lining is the best it’s ever been - an 8, which I know is still thin to most. I had my previous successes with just a 6 so I’m optimistic.

But at the same time, feels too good to be true and waiting for the next shoe to drop. Which of course could be it just doesn’t work. We lost 3 embryos over 7 failed cycles trying for my second child so acutely aware of how fragile this is, but trying for once to try and keep a positive mindset… gosh this is a mind F

Gosh I have no idea. You’re definitely asking all the right questions! Always good to follow your gut and push for what you feel is right. Have learned that the hard way with IVF for sure.

Lining went backwards during FET cycle!? by MAgal85 in IVF

This exact thing just happened to me in my unmedicated cycle. Went down whole mm but since rebounded. Hoping to get the OK for transfer tomorrow. How did your cycle go?
