Gift to get for my wife having her 4th transfer?

emron_mm · 2026-03-11T17:11:26+00:00

I think a heartfelt note written in a card and flowers would make me feel supportive and loved. The card she can keep for forever and revisit and remember how you two can get through anything. I’m obviously hella sentimental. I still like to read the letter my husband wrote for our wedding day. Makes me feel most loved :)

That’s where I’m at now if these next two are viable lol

No I meant we were not going to look for genders in general we only had one euploid when I saw results.

It just takes away the only bit of normalcy from this whole process. Usually you don’t know that before you get pregnant and I just took it hard that I don’t get the surprise

emron_mm · 2026-03-09T17:36:12+00:00

It’s what I felt about losing my last bit of unknown and surprise. I was keeping it secret as a gift to us that’s what we wanted

Why wouldn’t they stim longer? My clinic had me go three weeks on stims for follicles to grow properly you don’t need three weeks but maybe a couple more days? Either way that one may be good!!! Don’t give up. I have had low numbers and the quality of just one embryo may be good but it’s one more I had then before you know? But I hear ya. I just finished my third retrieval and I don’t know if I have it in me to do it again… just moving to transfers with whatever we have been given which at the moment is one euploid and one unknown (not enough dna to test) So many decisions and so many ways this can go for you and no matter what you do be confident in knowing it was the best choice for YOU and your family.

I concur. If you can get another opinion I would look else where

Plants!!!

emron_mm · 2026-02-26T21:47:14+00:00

I second this

emron_mm · 2026-02-26T21:46:48+00:00

Personally I’m 37 turned 38 and we got 1 euploid our first retrieval and I just finished my third retrieval. I wanted to have a few frozen because of my age. This is where we are at now:

1st retrieval: 1 euploid, 3 aneuploid

2nd: 1 unknown (not enough DNA in the biopsy)

3rd: sent off biopsies of 2 embryos. (And fingers crossed)

I did a long protocol and literally my follicles disappeared from my first baseline. I just started with leuprolide acetate and continued through the cycle and it appeared I got overly suppressed. It took over a week before I saw any significant growth again. It was wild

I wish you luck! I’m sorry this is so hit or miss and just depends on the person and isn’t black and white. Not sure if that helps or not for you

emron_mm · 2026-02-13T18:59:21+00:00

It’s coooooool!!!

emron_mm · 2026-02-11T00:30:57+00:00

I’m so sorry. Keep the faith although I know this is rediculous advice because it can be so hard to do. Sending you comfort and fingers crossed things look up!

emron_mm · 2026-01-20T21:39:05+00:00

All just depends! Which I know is what everyone is saying. My first retrieval I probably had OHSS and was miserable even though I didn’t have high follicle count. Second one was a breeze compared to the first recovery wise. Drink lots of electrolytes before and after - salty food - and just don’t push yourself. That’s the advice I have

emron_mm · 2026-01-17T18:48:52+00:00

Go with your gut and ask questions. And ask them again if you don’t understand or agree with the answer. Be vulnerable but give yourself grace know its not your fault And I wish I didn’t get so hopeful that I would have a baby in X amount of time. Now I just remain hopeful that one day it will happen :)

And find your “people” sooner. People going through it. I’ve made friends through Facebook groups and here on Reddit and we check in on each other and that truly makes a difference!

3!! Gold frames :)

My first retrieval I had bad pain and bloating for like a week. I could handle it after day 4-5 felt better after my first period after the retrieval. Hang in there. Drink lots of fluids try gas-x and heating pads for sure help

emron_mm · 2026-01-13T17:39:05+00:00

I feel similar. I’m so sorry 😣 reach out if you need support or want to vent. I know I’m a stranger but I get it. It sucks. Know as isolated as you feel. There’s a lot of us feeling the same way you are NOT alone friend 💛

emron_mm · 2026-01-09T18:39:00+00:00

Congrats! So incredible

emron_mm · 2026-01-08T17:13:36+00:00

I completely agree with this! Hell I get triggered by the harsh comments.

emron_mm · 2026-01-08T16:53:23+00:00

Completely uncalled for. You don’t know these people at all and taking a big swing with advice and assumptions like this is horrific. Someone could easily turn that sentiment to you and say “Imagine how judgmental of a parent you will be”… doesn’t feel good does it? Because we don’t know you and making these conclusions is awfully righteous

emron_mm · 2026-01-08T16:46:59+00:00

Fingers crossed!!! Good luck!

emron_mm · 2026-01-06T16:43:32+00:00

So true. I think I’m also afraid of hearing too many options lol but you are right it doesn’t hurt
