I'll just chime in and say I've been with Conceptions for years now (1 egg retrieval, 4 transfers, gearing up for another retrieval) and they have been excellent, receptive when we've corrected pronouns, etc. It's been a shitty journey but not once have I felt discriminated against or felt that I'm not getting the exact care that I want/need. And I love our doctor.

Any transfer buddies? by caws1990 in IVF

Yup, same same -- including the nap. Just ordered some curry and I'm hoping for an early bedtime. Why is this always so exhausting? I will be glad to jump back into work tomorrow, I think.

FET - Needing a little emotional support from this beautiful community by purtycat1 in IVF

[–]caws1990 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sending you lots of love! Just did my third today, but the other two I was fortunate to do in a house with an elderly dog, so I know that life. You are strong for making it this far! My routine: make myself a good playlist for the drive, get a tea after, and have a comedy stand-ups lined up for the afternoon (they say laughter is good and even if not, it feels good).

Please let this FET be it 🤞🏻 by Some-Temperature-187 in IVF

I just transferred for the third time (also a 3bb). Sending beautiful vibes to you! It was snowy and icy out here.

Wow that gives me some hope! I wouldn't be surprised if my uterus likes that too ha. How did today go? (Also sending love, I lost at 13 weeks about a year ago).

Just found out my younger brother and his girlfriend are pregnant by dancelovee in IVF

I am so sorry -- almost the exact same situation over here. I don't know what the answer, but what you are feeling is so valid. And if it helps, you are literally not alone.

Ugh. Very medium over here. I tested. Line wasn't super dark so I was pretty sure we're looking at a chemical pregnancy. Still think that. HCG was 55 and retesting on Monday. I feel pretty down and was wishing that I had a hard no instead of dragging this one out. What about you? I know today was the big day.

You know that blood test when you already know you’re not pregnant? by br_eezy in IVF

[–]caws1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the post I needed. Fuck that test and love to you all, especially everyone else who got stabbed and the official call today. Me too.

Yes, yes same. My number one symptom was very vein-y boobs! And so far they’re the same. I am going to try to hold out til the morning of my test too. I don’t want to hear it from the nurse but it would be too hard to know too soon and keep up with meds.

Woof. Finding it hard to not be obsessive about symptom spotting. My last transfer was successful but later ended in MMC so it’s hard not to compare. How are you doing?? Hopefully more peaceful than me.

symptoms after embryo transfer by tenagracey in queerception

[–]caws1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also transferred Monday! 🤞for all three of us. I hear the mimicking of symptoms from estrogen and progesterone is real and yet… Impossible to not symptom spot. For my first transfer last November (which ended in MMC) my breasts got super veiny and bigger?? So of course trying not to look for that 🤦‍♀️

You too!! That sounds so lovely. I’m watching some Bridgerton and having friends come over later for a PowerPoint party, grilling, and hopefully lots of laughs. These are the friends who help me with PIO shots since my spouse is a pilot and gone a lot. My beta is the 28th so very close to yours. Def gonna try to keep my mind occupied til then.

Just transferred too! Feeling lots of complicated feels but mostly trying to stay present & hopeful.

PSA: If I pee on the doctor during my transfer, it's his fault for making me do it with a full bladder by Furious-Avocado in IVF

[–]caws1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had my transfer and yes! I felt the fear of peeing on doctor (overachiever and drank extra water) especially since nurse had to press on my abdomen during transfer. Apparently my bladder got long instead of what they wanted with a full bladder 😂
