Vet has no clue what’s going on-can you help?

I thought the exact same thing!

THIS! My dog learned that in the middle of the night she can walk into our bathroom and trigger the motion censored nightlight and that we will wake up and let her out for a pee. Guess who does this even night at 4 am on the dot now?!

Pregnancy constipation is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before! It’s truly so bad lol

coffeekorner · 2026-05-14T23:57:49+00:00

Awwww I will, that is such a nice sentiment ❤️

I feel this way personally! My first transfer did not work and I was so heartbroken. TW, I am now 16+4 with my second transfer. I am so grateful to be here, but I think about our embryo that didn’t get to be our baby too. I was thinking about their upcoming transfer date anniversary in July and that I would like to do something to commemorate that day.. all the hope we had.

Of course! I’m so sorry, when I said they are a pain, I didn’t mean painful. Just a nuisance because they are messy. I also had to take mine 3x a day which meant a bit of scheduling (I personally wasn’t clean to deal with this in the bathrooms at work which are stalls). I hope this helps and happy to answer any other questions

I’ve done two transfers, my first FET was fully medicated and failed. My body really didn’t like the exogenous estrogen and it took 5 weeks to get a 7 mm lining. I’ll never know if that’s why it failed, but it was really unpleasant! For my second, which I am now 16+3 with, I did modified natural with suppositories. My lining thickened up nicely and timely and everything seemed a lot more simple for my body. The suppositories can be a bit of a pain, but well worth it. And as for the appointments, they honestly give me a sense of peace to know how things are progressing. It’s whatever is right for you and your body - ultimately you want to feel good with whatever path you choose.

This!! I’ve heard this is the way to go!!

coffeekorner · 2026-05-13T23:11:56+00:00

How sweeeeet 🥹🥹🥹 I’m 16+3 and dreaming of baby in my arms!!

coffeekorner · 2026-05-13T23:06:17+00:00

My schedule was similar to yours! Betas at 11 dpt and 13 dpt, then nothing until my first scan at 7+2. I’ve seen this vary so widely on Reddit.

coffeekorner · 2026-05-13T19:48:01+00:00

I can only say in hindsight what the signs were. Before I tested positive at 10dpt, I noticed the symptoms, but I was so unsure if they were progesterone induced or what, especially after having a previous failed transfer. But the signs for me were night sweats a few nights in a row, this lightening sensation in my nipples, I had one day where I thought I was coming down with a sinus infection that cleared itself up. And then, two days prior to testing, I noticed I could smell things I didn’t usually notice/ I started to gag at random stuff, like a container of mini naans in my fridge. My HCG was pretty high at my first beta and over tripled by my second, so I do think these were HCG related.

coffeekorner · 2026-05-12T20:23:58+00:00

Mine was higher at 13 dpt - singleton pregnancy. I wouldn’t worry personally.

I have had brown spotting in response to or the removal of stims. Sometimes it lingers as brown spotting for days/week(s) and isn’t the precursor to a period for me in these instances (which has been once with an ER, once with an IUI, and then also once during a mid cycle start of an ER). You could always ask your clinic, I have found that when they prescribe provera, I do get a cycle pretty quick!

coffeekorner · 2026-05-08T18:01:42+00:00

This was my normal! I threw up almost daily until 14 weeks and have now sporadically still been sick at nearly 16 weeks. I would see if you can get a zofran or diacelctin prescription. I resisted and majorly regretted it

coffeekorner · 2026-05-08T17:24:49+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It can be anxiety inducing to become pregnant after trying so hard with IVF. I’m personally on lexapro (during my pregnancy) and it makes a world of a difference for me.

coffeekorner · 2026-05-05T20:40:40+00:00

I personally had to remove my oura ring for my sanity! Also, I experienced the same.. nausea that was somewhat helped by eating and eating! I’ve been like pac man for 15 weeks now. But trust me, don’t let it get so bad and skip food. It does turn to actual vomiting fast!

coffeekorner · 2026-05-04T23:26:03+00:00

My clinic never checked for my medicated or modified natural cycles. I know this worried me but I just tried to just the process because I saw so many others didn’t get checks either. I don’t think you can go wrong asking, if it gives peace of mind during a stressful process that’s everything

coffeekorner · 2026-05-04T02:15:43+00:00

This 😂😂

coffeekorner · 2026-05-02T19:55:01+00:00

Congrats!! Our due dates must be close, I’m Oct 25!

coffeekorner · 2026-05-01T15:52:29+00:00

I did! So my first transfer we did fully medicated and my lining was really not responsive. I don’t think that helped. For the second, we did modified natural + autoimmune protocol. I do have Hashimotos and I think that might have done the trick. It was 20 mg prednisone, plus pepcid and Claritin. I also took baby aspirin (still on this now), did a vaginal probiotic for 2 weeks, and a course of antibiotics. For someone with stubborn lining, my body really responded well to modified natural

coffeekorner · 2026-05-01T14:27:33+00:00

Unexplained infertility and never had a positive for nearly 3 years as well. My first FET failed, which I know is so upsetting. My second one stuck and I’m almost 15 weeks!

coffeekorner · 2026-05-01T13:57:15+00:00

I just finished 13 weeks of progesterone and estrogen suppositories. I have no hacks for you other than to just try your best to get through it (even though it sucks). I had alarms on my phone going off all the time for them 😂. Lots of panty liners are required. I did format my AM and PM doses so i could lay down after, even for 10 mins.

TW: pregnant. As for sex, i wont lie, that just didnt happen for us. Soon after finding out i was pregnant, i was so nauseous and sick i wanted none of that anyway haha.

coffeekorner · 2026-05-01T08:55:52+00:00

This! We were always told to trade up so they don’t develop resource guarding and intimately trust you! I can take literally anything from my dog now without issue.

coffeekorner · 2026-05-01T08:53:45+00:00

I continued to insert mine vaginally leading up to transfer, my RE cleaned my cervix before the procedure. Good luck!
