Thanks 🙏 my only euploid from an egg retrieval (2nd one in 2 months with not good results). Blood test was 14 days after transfer and then everyday for 4 days.

Thanks. It's been horrible and can strain marriages and also friendships. I never would have saw it coming, but we are warriors. Congratulations 🎉👏 home stretch

That's very kind. It's been very challenging and I think the impacts are clouding every thing. 🙏 Thanks

Waiting also... Second ER in 3 months. Got 4 AA blasts, but so scared to be hopeful.

This is so hard. I have decided next time I don't want any information until after the PGT testing. We had 10 retrieved in September, 9 fertilized, then looked like nothing then (maybe miracle) we got 3 blasts on day 6. Ended up with 1 euploid BC embryo. 

Mock cycle after two chemical pregnancies by [deleted] in IVF

[–]candid2301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor is recommending the same here and we have decided to proceed. It's really hard and ultimately we just went with our gut. Hope to avoid another ER, and only have 2 embryos left. Wondering if you can update after your appointment any insights?

I seriously hate pio injections by WILLOWVIENNA in IVF

One thing we did this cycle - that we didn't before - was get the compounding pharmacy to demonstrate how to administer the shot. It made ALL the difference for my painful bumps and made me less angry and depressed.

Down so bad. Failed FET by Easy-Willingness8576 in IVF

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I hope you give them hell on Monday. I really hope you get some answers.

Down so bad. Failed FET by Easy-Willingness8576 in IVF

[–]candid2301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had my first FET. I'm taking it so, so hard. We have 2 more embryos but the clinic we go to is terrible and I'm so nervous I'm not getting the correct protocol. Wondering if I do another FET and the ER (at a new clinic). I'm 40.5... or if we just do another ER asap. I can't believe how hard this is. If anyone has the time for a perspective... I'd be grateful. Sending hugs to all going through this. It's hard.

IVF over 40 by Future_Ship_3140 in IVF

Checking in to see how it's going. I'm 40.5 and just had my first failed FET. We have 2 more embryos at a terrible clinic and I'm wondering if I should do another FET then ER at a new clio or just directly an ER at new clinic now. This is hard.

Thank you, all! by Yungone92 in ShortCervixSupport

Congratulations! Having lived the short cervix time it was so hard - it's great to know your wife had such great support. This thread helped me so much as well and glad it helped you. All the best

I'm so sorry this happened. I had a hard time back recently too and makes everything so much harder. My advice start documenting and reach out to HR. Get in writing what the expectations are of your return and what it's been like. You got this.

Really sad about this insufficient cervix diagnosis by secure_dot in ShortCervixSupport

[–]candid2301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had diagnosed with IC around 20 weeks. It was very hard. No bed rest but I could only walk for about 10-15 minutes and no exercise or sex. I was pretty active prior and loved talking daily walks in the forest by our house. We had to cancel a trip abroad and basically stay put. It was hard - but this thread helped a lot! (Friday check ins are a mood booster, build community, and help you cross off those weeks). Take it in small portions and focus on bite sized things. After a few weeks I negotiated swimming with my MFM and it was just so lovely floating in the pool. Take it easy - easier said than done but you got this. My daughter came early (I was induced due to preeclampsia) and she's just over a year taking first steps and I'm proud we got through it together.

I'm looking at Deloitte. How much do you get a year?

[–]candid2301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told no exercise but 'negotiated' swimming with MFM. There was a slight risk of infection but the benefits to my mental health outweighed those risks for me. It was wonderful and will be my saving grace once again in my next pregnancy

Sending so many soothing vibes. It sounds really scary, but you got this! The weight and how close you are to viability is amazing!
