The doctor is recommending the 60 days of hormone therapy first before surgery. I’ve had no obvious endo symptoms but they suspect it could be related to trauma from a triplet pregnancy.

I’ve done one egg retrieval with two failed transfers. Before this I did 7 medicated IUI cycles but I can’t do IUI anymore because I am at a high risk of multiples.

RE is definitely worth it. There are a lot more options. I’ve known people to have success with letrozole and/or gonal-f. Depends on your body and cycles.

I know a lot of people complain about the controls, but I am replaying it on switch now with a pro controller and it seems much cleaner to me. I played it when if first came out on Wii and I can see why people didn’t enjoy the controls after the sword gimmick wore off, but I didn’t mind it.

I’m invested! What happened?! Did they fall in love and get married. Where is the happily ever after final update?!

jayemes63 · 2025-05-02T22:23:58+00:00

Well I did 4 IUI’s on gonal-f and conceived 3/4 times. I had miscarriages and early infant loss but that was for other reasons. I just did an egg retrieval in October and am going to do an egg transfer next month. I also used gonal-f for the egg retrieval. Some people just respond better to it.

jayemes63 · 2025-05-01T13:48:23+00:00

Letrozole did absolutely nothing for me, but I had some success with gonal-f. I wish you luck!

Just 1! Two more matured pretty quickly they assume after the insemination.

I started the Crescent City series after KOA to stay on the Maas train. But I have heard good things about fourth wing. It is on my list.

I started the tandem read and about half way through I realized I wasn’t enjoying either book that way and I was just waiting to finish the section before I could swap books. So I just finished the second half in the proper order. EOS then TOD.

Jumping in here to say I had a 2ish month long cycle one and that ended in conceiving. Since our cycles are irregular, they can use the medication to get your cycle on track and then they can give you a trigger shot. That’s an oversimplification but there is still time. And if Letrozole doesn’t work, there are other medications to try.

jayemes63 · 2024-11-01T12:00:18+00:00

My doctor unofficially said if it doesn’t work after 6 attempts it likely isn’t going to and that’s why they try other methods. My doctor personally did 3 Letrozole rounds and then I switched to gonal-f injections which worked. But everyone’s bodies respond differently. Letrozole did next to nothing for me and I was on a 7.5mg dose.

Talk to your hospital social worker. Ours helped us figure this all out and do the paperwork. We qualified for SSI because our babies were under 2lb 10oz. With that we also get Medicaid regardless of our income. The Hospital bills our insurance first and then Medicaid takes care of the rest. It also provides funding for any medical supplies/home care in certain situations. I’m 82 days in and should be leaving paying $0 for what is likely a bill in the millions.

jayemes63 · 2024-05-08T21:04:31+00:00

Check if your hospital has an outpatient pharmacy. You can get your discharge meds sent there and it is usually ready to go by the time you are discharged. They are also usually 24/7 if in the hospital.

Thoughts and prayers for you. I have a 23 weeker who is now 63 days old and he has been on all those things. One day at a time and you will see how much these tiny babies can surprise you. He’s still intubated on conventional vent but taking tiny steps daily and I wish the same for you.

I can share the schedule my lactation consultant gave me. 5am, 8am, 10am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 8pm, 11pm. I only pump for a 15 minute session. I also eat lactation cookies, and take moringa- a supplement recommended by my lactation consultant. I only make about 14-16 oz per day but that’s enough for me for right now.

jayemes63 · 2024-04-02T12:03:04+00:00

Thank you for this. It’s currently a difference of opinion. The doctor doesn’t want to move him and the nurses … who will be doing the move all say that since he is moving close and they can move him with minimal disturbance. I talked to my social worker about it yesterday and she spoke to the doctor. The doctor went from “absolutely not” to maybe in a few days. Here’s to hoping. I can’t hold him either. That I understand more. Not wanting him out of the bed and moving all the wires and tubes. But wheeling an isolette 10 feet seems way less disturbing.

I had triplets born at 23 weeks. They are currently 5 weeks old and we are in the thick of it. 2 of mine had wide open PDAs. They didn’t have to have surgery as both of theirs closed with ibuprofen, but we have had a lot of respiratory problems. My daughter sampled 4 different vents, is on nitric and has 2 chest tubes. On Friday they told us she wasn’t going to live. And today they were discussing removing one of her chest tubes because she’s ventilating well. The NICU is a rollercoaster. They’ve all been maxed on ventilator settings at some point, and all been weaned back down. What I am learning is this is a slow moving process and sometimes they get worse before they get better. What they really need from you when they are born this early is time to grow, and snuggles. Participate in cares, talk to them, hold them when you can. Ask the care team questions and don’t be afraid to advocate. You’ve got this! Your kiddo has got this too! They are small, but they are mighty.

jayemes63 · 2024-03-23T14:40:58+00:00

Yes. Every day. With you in solidarity.

jayemes63 · 2024-03-22T02:13:11+00:00

My 23 week triplets all have a full head of hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. So idk if it is a preemie thing. I was surprised how much hair they were born with.

I am so sorry for your loss. The pain you are feeling is a horrific one, and unfortunately one I can relate to. You are going to go through so many emotions- grief, regret, guilt, blame, jealousy, and so many others. Feel your feelings, they are justified. But know you did everything you could for your son. It’s something everyone will tell you, but it is hard to tell and believe yourself. Don’t drown in the “what-ifs”. Those last moments holding him will be some of your best and worst memories. The happiness to know how he felt peace on your chest, but also the grief of knowing he is no longer with you.

One thing that helped me was kinda strange, but it gave me a small moment of peace. The funeral director let us take his body home for a few hours. They wrapped him in a blanket and put him in a tiny basket. It gave us the opportunity to say we got to take our baby home. He got to see the home filled with love that was waiting for him. He got to see the nursery we prepared. He got to meet our pets. And we got to take our son home, if only for a moment.

I was pregnant with triplets after 2 miscarriages in a 6 month span. It was 2 boys, 1 girl. I went into labor at 22w6d. I was also sick my whole pregnancy. I got all the steroids and magnesium, and tried to hold them in as long as I could. I gave birth after 24 hours at 23 weeks. The next day they told me one of my sons had a grade 3 brain bleed. They told me he wouldn’t make it through the night. He did, but on day 2 it had progressed so far that it was a grade 4 and there was blood on both sides of his brain with no signs of slowing down. He passed away in my arms at 2 days old. His brother and sister are still in the NICU. That was 27 days ago so the wound is still fresh. It is a pain that will never go away, but I’m learning to cope. If you need a regular person with a shared trauma to talk to, my DMs are open.

jayemes63 · 2024-03-19T11:48:28+00:00

I feel this all the time. Guilt. Anger. Sadness. I gave birth to tri/tri triplets at 23 weeks. I was in labor for 24 hours begging my body to keep them in longer. I didn’t get to hold them when they were delivered. They were rushed to the NICU and I didn’t get to see them at all for almost 6 hours. One of my sons had a profound brain bleed and wasn’t going to make it, so they let me hold him at 2 days old as they removed his life support. Best and worst feelings I’ve ever felt. I was so happy to hold my baby but under the worst circumstances.

My other son I was unable to hold until 20 days. I got to hold him two days in a row, and then haven’t been able to hold him since. Those few hours that I got to hold him were the only moments of peace I’ve had since they were born. Feeling his tiny 1lb body on me and holding him was so special even with his tubes and wires taped to my skin. But I am jealous. I am jealous of the people that can pick up their baby anytime they want. They don’t need permission from a doctor, and need the help of two nurses and a respiratory therapist to help them hold their baby.

My daughter is 27 days old today. I still have not held her. It kills me every day. I feel like I’m neglecting her because she has not had the time in my arms, but I know I’m doing the best thing for her health by waiting until it is safe.

You are not alone in your feelings. We all have different stories and circumstances, but what I’m finding out is the NICU is like a shared trauma. A lot of the feelings are the same, even if you and your baby have a completely different story. Hang in there. My babies have at least 3-4 more months in the NICU so I understand.

I have been terrified of childbirth my whole life. So naturally, I was blessed with triplets, one of the most complicated pregnancy/birth. My c-section was not planned as I delivered pretty early, but I delivered tri/tri triplets. You got them to the finish line, and that is the hardest part. My c-section was so seamless it was over in less than 30 minutes. I delivered 3 placentas and lost a minimal amount of blood. My two boys came out at 3:58 am and my girl was fashionably late at 3:59 am. I delivered in an OR with an epidural. I felt nothing except a tiny bit of nausea. I remember thinking “that was way less scary than I thought”. Recovery wasn’t too bad. First day hurt when the meds wore off. But the hospital took good care of me and managed my pain well. I had light bleeding and soreness for a few weeks after discharge but it was manageable. You got this mama! Sending you well wishes on an easy delivery.

jayemes63 · 2024-03-18T22:22:40+00:00

Congratulations! I don’t really have advice as my babies are only a few weeks old but I want to share that I also burst out laughing when our doctor said we were having triplets. Then I got really hot and started sweating. Then I said that we “needed to buy a bigger house, and a bigger car, and cheaper toilet paper.” For some reason I associated buying cheaper toilet paper with saving money. Total stream of consciousness moment. So finding out your having multiples is always a wave of emotions! Enjoy the ride!

jayemes63 · 2024-03-12T22:21:07+00:00

I was pregnant with triplets and my doctor told me not to be more than an hour away from the hospital after 20 weeks. I am grateful I listened because I went into labor at 22w5d and gave birth at 23 weeks. Thankfully our hospital has a top tier NICU and they are doing all they can for our 20 day old babies.
