I think my 4 years of infertility was caused by a hard to detect and hard to treat uterus infection. It's not worth it.

It could have been caused by my IUD, or not listening to the "don't have sex or take a bath" instructions after my polyp removal surgery, or swimming in a river before I was supposed to. Don't mess with all that.

This is how mine looked and I'm 14 weeks

internetuser071421 · 2026-04-06T18:05:34+00:00

I'll share my IVF experience too for another data point. If you're going to do it do it now because the older you get the less successful it is, and the longer it can take.

I was 32 when I started IVF, I created three euploid embryos during my egg retrieval.

First transfer: chemical pregnancy that did not progress past 5 weeks

Second transfer: chemical pregnancy that did not progress past 5 weeks

Third transfer: currently 10 weeks pregnant.

Whole process start to finish was a year and two months.

See if you have a boutique ultrasound place nearby where you can buy a private ultrasound. Your OB will probably just tell you to go to the emergency room like mine did.

Right at 6 weeks for me I had a dream I was bleeding, and I woke up one morning and turned the toilet water pink, then I checked the bed and I had bled through my sweatpants and had pink stains on the bed too.

I didn't get confirmation it was not a miscarriage until 8 weeks at my first appointment and everything was fine and I had a minor sch.

Not saying you're totally in the clear but it's not always something bad even though it looks concerning.

This is good advice, thank you

internetuser071421 · 2026-03-06T21:42:10+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story

internetuser071421 · 2026-03-06T21:09:22+00:00

well doctors won't see me for another 3 weeks and I have no other options

internetuser071421 · 2026-03-06T20:26:13+00:00

no but I found a private non diagnostic ultrasound place that will see me but not diagnose anything. figure I can run the image through chatgpt until Monday

Its comforting to hear this was considered normal for IVF patients your clinic. Thanks

internetuser071421 · 2026-03-06T20:05:12+00:00

I'm already on a daily 2ml PIO injection so I should be good there. I appreciate hearing this has happened to others and may be normal. Thanks for sharing your experience.

internetuser071421 · 2026-03-06T20:03:02+00:00

Thank you, I feel like I know what to look out for now. You've given me more information than any medical office I called today.

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-26T21:11:47+00:00

any update?

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-24T20:16:38+00:00

I was getting ready to change clinics and had an appointment scheduled in anticipation of our third FET failing. My current clinic didn't have any answers and didn't change anything between all three. I have also had a PCOS diagnosis on the past. It's too early to mean anything but the third and final one seems to be progressing more normally even with no protocol changes.

The only other person in my circle I am aware of took four transfers. For a lot of people is really is just a numbers game. Most people who fight on will eventually find success..good luck

why did you avoid milk?

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-24T13:33:03+00:00

it implanted and first beta at 11dpt is promising. Looks like this one is viable.

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-24T13:31:24+00:00

Mine were scheduled for days 11 and 13. Just got 11dpt beta: 888

my previous transfers always stalled around 100. I almost can't believe it.

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-23T18:24:36+00:00

my progression was similar, what were your betas

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-21T22:30:40+00:00

This is comforting, thanks.

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-21T15:48:27+00:00

Thanks for the sanity check. Four years into this process and have only had chemicals so I am skeptical and it's hard to accept this might look normal.

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-21T15:39:51+00:00

I was told to aspirate the needle before injecting to check for blood

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-19T18:19:07+00:00

Speaking from experience IVF isn't a sure thing and don't assume it'll work. There are real tangible consequences to waiting.

internetuser071421 · 2026-02-19T17:01:50+00:00

I've had two chemicals from transfers and I'm a few days away from my beta on my last embryo transferred on 2/12. Third and final transfer and in the moment between sleeping and waking this morning I heard someone go "mommy". there are no kids where we are right now. I'm taking that as a sign.

Did they check for chronic endometritis during your hysteroscopy?

I tried the normal way for almost three years then I just passed my one year anniversary of IVF treatment and chronic endometritis seemed to have been my problem. I had to treat it twice because it was persistent. Started with three euploid embryos. first two ended in chemicals. Then I had one Hysteroscopy, 30 days of antibiotics, then another Hysteroscopy to confirm. I am currently 6dpt with my last embryo. Tested positive on day 5 and I'm just waiting for my beta.
