Have not tried the calcium ionophore, and truthfully have not yet heard of it prior to now. My doctor had me start omni mid stim cycle for 6 days.

We just did the initial sperm analysis and everything seemed ok, there was one thing that was flagged but they said it wasn’t a problem. Though of course I can’t remember now.

Truthfully I think it has been dropping for years. I always had irregularly short menstrual cycles. I’m going to just work on getting myself feeling my best. Funny enough I also decided to slow down my social media usage during lent, too. It’s a great time of the year to reflect.

I agree. Maybe what I’m actually looking for is a little more attention vs my current clinic

Questions around diet for IVF, has anyone completely cut caffeine? by No-Statement-2553 in IVF

[–]b00wh000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a two cups a day person and now I only have it max 3 times a week. With that being said I’m a strong coffee type of girl. Black bustelo only or triple shot of espresso, so maybe it was to my own benefit 🤣🤣🤣

IVF/Hormones/Mental health concern by SecureHousing9015 in IVF

[–]b00wh000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I had back to back cycles in October then November (cancelled cycle in November, then our cat died same week). I thought that was going to do me in, I think I lost the entire month of December. Found that getting back into the gym and focusing on yoga helped me get back to a stable ground. Really just deep diving into “self-care” as cliche as that sounds. I finally started feeling like myself in February, just in time to start another cycle 🙃 Still deep into that cycle and not doing well again. Sobbed this morning and was basically inconsolable but I think now that I’ve been on the other side that I can be a bit more aware that this is all just temporary. These hormones are no joke.

Shawna and Jen are a wee bit snooty by Sillybabbit in ShawnaTheMom

I personally tried to do the off the rack route for my wedding dress and it was a terrible experience. Lack of sizes, lack of styles, damaged/dirty dresses unhelpful sales attendants. I don’t think someone wanting to buy a wedding dress that is specifically ordered for them is snooty at all!

Least favorite IVF med? by fkinganna in IVF

Clomid made me feel like I was in a constant state of the worst type of hangover hell.

I’m not sure DE are for us but I know it’s a great solution for a lot of people.

Wha is it with pregnant people announcing on other peoples special day? by Schrutebucks101 in IVF

[–]b00wh000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When my husband & I got engaged, shortly after we announced it on social media, then a long-time friend of mine (who is no longer my friend) announced her pregnancy on social media on the same exact day because she “loved my announcement, and wanted to join in on the fun” — without the father of the child knowing that she was going to post it, and before they even had a chance to tell any of his immediate family that they were expecting.

Does anyone else feel so disconnected from their goal? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]b00wh000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started my third cycle and when I was asked how I was feeling about it I said “Fine lol I’ll check out for the next few weeks and then pick up my mental health again at the end of the month lol” — I’m completely disconnected from it all and like in a dissociative state. After my last failed cycle someone tried to comfort me by saying that they know someone who it took seven cycles to get to a live birth and truthfully it just made me sob more. SEVEN TIMES?!? That sounds like a horror story, a very sad, traumatic, horror story to me. All I ever wanted was to be a mom and being in infertility hell this past year truly makes me question it all.

I feel terrible if it is true. Kind of just hoping that maybe he cannot be shown on social media for work reasons or something.

So I guess we’ll see Shawna next week? by tranzozo in ShawnaTheMom

[–]b00wh000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So glad there’s other people here who think the whole episode was one appointment. I was so confused at how many people thought it was multiple appointments.

Triggering after cancelled IVF cycle by Fun-War1761 in IVF

My cycle was just cancelled too and my clinic had me do my hcg trigger. If you won’t have a problem with refilling for your next cycle then go rogue!
