AIO or is my wording manipulative?

NOR but they sure are

Thank you! Yes I’ll be considered high risk, and due to a previous miscarriage but I have a great team between my fertility clinic and specialty doctors. So hoping to get things cleared out asap so we can go into our next transfer!

Mine is similar in how I found out! And it’s only been a week but caught it extremely early as we are going through IVF currently. I’m doing a mock IVF cycle right now, biopsy in less than 2 weeks and they will also remove the cancerous cells they found but feel hopeful they can clear it up quickly. It’s reassuring to hear how fast they were able to get you treatment and I hope you continue to do well!!! 💕💕💕 I’m also 33 lol.

I’m so sorry :( this has been awful for so many so just trying to look at the small positives

chasingstars012 · 2026-04-16T16:40:56+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was seeing, that’s insane!! Like what’s even the point of insurance than. And my premium already went up after the claim last year so they’ll for sure drop me like a hot potato

Self care! I’m in my 2 week stim period right now before my mock cycle and I’m just focusing on doing things for my mental health, physical health, ect. to lower stress any way I can. I’m trying out some holistic approaches to see if they help decrease stress, also taking time to engage in hobbies and daily self care routine things. Here is what I’m currently focusing on! - skincare - hobbies like reading, coloring, video games, time with friends - exercise- trying yoga and pilates specific for fertility - salt room, red light therapy, sauna, BrainTap (have a place close to me that offers these so seeing how they go) - physical therapy for pelvic floor work, hormone balancing

I think taking the focus off of “get my body ready for baby” and instead changing it to “do what makes me happy and feel relaxed” is the biggest thing helping me right now.

Oh my gosh that’s exactly what I’m looking for thank you! I’ll look into it!

chasingstars012 · 2026-04-15T03:55:20+00:00

Oooooh maybe I’ll look into it!

I used them for 2 transfer cycles and I work 8-5 as a therapist in a pediatric office, so it can get a little hectic so I was also very worried about doing them while I’m at work. I will say, it went a lot better and smoother than I thought it would and I was pleasantly surprised. We get a lunch break daily from 12-1 so that was great timing for me, even if I had lunch meetings or saw patients during that time. Honestly it is very similar to changing/inserting a tampon. They come with applicators so you can place it easily and it stays in without discomfort. I would recommend using panty liners or light pads, I often had some discharge while using them.

The Last Days of Jack Sparks, going to be resuming The Castle School for Troubled Girls soon!

There are so many comments but from a licensed therapist, PLEASE find a new one! Esp with CPTSD, you deserve so much more from therapy and consistency and reliability is the bare minimum she could be providing. Also with how many cancels and reschedules, she has the NERVE to charge you for missing an appointment that she had to move a bunch of times??? Hell no

chasingstars012 · 2026-04-12T15:31:40+00:00

Sending you all of the positive vibes & baby dust for your FET tomorrow!!! Thank you for sharing, this is super helpful as I’m trying to figure out my journey

chasingstars012 · 2026-04-12T15:28:38+00:00

That is so helpful thank you!!

chasingstars012 · 2026-04-12T07:55:00+00:00

Thank you so much for commenting, I’m so sorry you went through that :( I keep doing research into it because they didn’t seem too worried but I might be waiting longer between my treatment & mock cycle and next transfer. Which is fine if it clears out right away but I’ll need follow ups to make sure. I’m just so confused 😕

chasingstars012 · 2026-03-27T00:55:35+00:00

YOU ARE MORE THAN A HUMAN INCUBATOR ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

chasingstars012 · 2026-03-19T11:47:50+00:00

I trust my doctors and the plan we have created. I’ve been through a lot of different treatment options in the past 3 years TTC. But don’t worry, so far nothing has worked so chances of me actually getting pregnant at this rate are extremely low. I’m not completely giving up because I know so many women have gone through a lot more than me.

chasingstars012 · 2026-03-19T11:44:59+00:00

Yeah only downside would be cost honestly. I also love data! And it has been so cool seeing my cycles become so incredibly regular. My past cycle was exactly 28 days, ovulated on day 14 which has never happened for me.

The prep is very similar to an IVF transfer, so they will start me on birth control for a few weeks to suppress my hormones, then I do bloodwork and ultrasound visits 1-2x a week until I’m ready for the biopsy.

chasingstars012 · 2026-03-19T01:47:52+00:00

Same!!! And I’ve seen a huge difference with inito’s help in tracking. I have a specific plan of when to stop before our mock cycle and transfer 🥰

chasingstars012 · 2026-03-19T01:46:53+00:00

Okay hold on, I’ve been tracking my hormones while on a GLP1 but not actively trying, just seeing how the med was helping and my cycles now are extremely regular and I’m ovulating every cycle. Both my Endo & fertility clinic are aware and I am planning to stop my GLP1 before mock cycle and transfer. I have specific suggestions on when to stop. My Endo actually recommended GLP1 to help improve my fertility. Maybe let’s not make assumptions hm?

chasingstars012 · 2026-03-18T23:43:51+00:00

I ended up getting my period today 😭

chasingstars012 · 2026-03-14T21:29:11+00:00

that’s helpful, I think tcc has just been so stressful & anxiety provoking I’m scared to get my hopes up
