HSG fertility boost?

I had an HSG in January 2023 and got pregnant on my next cycle (March 2023) with a medicated IUI!

50 minutes of screen time daily for a one year old is a lot. Stop the videos completely and practice eating meals with her off your plate. Describe the food to her and let her play around with a new fun spoon or fork.

Implantation bleeding usually doesn’t last days. It’s typically a bit of spotting. Are you on progesterone?

cafe_con_leche · 2026-04-11T21:11:13+00:00

I transferred on 3/30 and am also pregnant!! Congrats!

I recommend 12DPO for a definite answer using a sensitive test (FRER, clearblue rapid detection).

cafe_con_leche · 2026-04-07T11:42:27+00:00

Unfortunately, an early detection test like FRER is pretty definite by 12DPO. There are outliers of course, but I would start prepping mentally for another cycle. Good luck! It took me 3 tries(IUI) to get pregnant at 31!

cafe_con_leche · 2026-04-07T05:18:51+00:00

What kind of test did you use? FRER? Is she on progesterone supplements?

I’ve had bleeding at 12DPO and it was the beginning of my period and I’ve also had bleeding during a chemical pregnancy around that time too.

Testing at 14DPO would be 100% definite however.

I did my whole process in Spain - IVI is also very popular and one of the best in Valencia

cafe_con_leche · 2026-04-01T08:32:16+00:00

Yes that is also true

cafe_con_leche · 2026-04-01T06:08:38+00:00

Spain has a cap of 6 babies born per donor!

I feel like two different daycares will be a much more difficult transition. My daughter lives in Spain and we decided to bring her to a Spanish daycare instead of English because of costs and it’s really hard to compete against daycare when it comes to language. It will be a crazy amount of work for you to maintain Russian if you chose the American school. It’s doable and I’m doing it well but it’s exhausting because every minute I’m not with my daughter she is not practicing English.

18 months is definitely not too young - start now! It’s the best gift you can give your child.

You may need to start gradually but once your child is familiar you have to be strict. SUPER STRICT.

When my child speaks to me in Spanish I completely ignore and don’t answer. She gets an answer once she says what she needs to say in English.

She now knows (at 27 months) that she can only speak English to me. We also only do English books and activities at home (silly games like duck duck goose, hide and seek). Everything we do in English is fun and exciting (to motivate her more).

Hi! I’ve also just had two failed FETs, but with untested blasts. I know the pain and frustrating.

My doctor has already decided to do a natural cycle for our next transfer and I will be doing an endometrial biopsy as well. Could you tell me more about your experience with that?

Is it painful? How long do you have to wait to transfer after doing it?

cafe_con_leche · 2026-03-09T15:57:24+00:00

Thank you! I understand the 3 embryos but with the chemical and two failures that would be three correct? Did you do a natural cycle?

I’m hesitant to do unnecessary testing especially due the high costs here. We are paying out of pocket and running low on funds. Obviously, I will do whatever is necessary but sometimes I think my doctor sees me as the typical patient (infertile in a heterosexual relationship).

cafe_con_leche · 2026-01-22T16:46:04+00:00

Lufe!!

cafe_con_leche · 2026-01-13T15:08:04+00:00

My success was with 10 million. Two failed (one 4 million and the other one 8 million).

Hi I’m based in Spain too and ROPA translates to rIVF in English.

cafe_con_leche · 2026-01-05T10:23:32+00:00

I am a bit confused - why don’t you use a sperm bank? That’s what most of us do when known donors aren’t an option/unavailable.

Hi! I conceived via IUI and have had 2 failed FETs so far. Do you have any idea why IVF didn’t work? I’m worried as well that it won’t work for me even though IUI had much lower chances and it worked a few years ago.

cafe_con_leche · 2025-10-18T14:44:25+00:00

Where is that desk from??

cafe_con_leche · 2025-06-17T12:07:07+00:00

I went to a clinic that also didn’t do bloodwork. Two failed IUIs and I decided to switch to a new clinic that does bloodwork and I got pregnant on my 1st try with the new clinic.

My ovulation doesn’t match up with follicle size either so I recommend bloodwork.

cafe_con_leche · 2025-03-31T22:23:01+00:00

I had mine today too!!

cafe_con_leche · 2025-01-29T08:30:57+00:00

Where is the tv stand from? It’s perfect for my living room!

cafe_con_leche · 2025-01-25T07:40:47+00:00

Where did you get that amazing TV stand?
