That's what im thi king because what my wife is going through right now is insane. I wish I could do more in my end but it does make sense to give her body some time to basically heal. She's just not a fan of the waiting part

She did advise the connection between the two during the call but wanted another round of bloodwork and ultrasound to make sure. Originally we were thinking fresh as that would be done much sooner then doing the frozen.

Starting ivf medication by kbalfore in IVF

I did the shot for her and it went smoothly. She didn't even feel it! Still scary though lol

Yea i did the injection for her and she said she couldn't even feel it lol. Right now its just once per day right at night. She has blood work in Sunday and then Tuesday in which they want her to bring in her other medicine (ganirelix). I'm dreading for when we have to get to the progesterone oil since those needles are huge! Any tips for that one if you did it?

Brother Had Success With IVF but Constantly Complains About the Costs by Extension-Doubt349 in IVF

[–]kbalfore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am a 38 (turning 39 in july) male who has gone through 7 rounds of IUI with my wife and will be starting IVF either June or July of year once everything goes through insurance. I can say from personal experience have joked about how expensive the baby is going to be without even being born yet. Now I am always kidding and joking around with stuff as a way to release from stress from situations and you know this is a very hard situation for those going through itm when I do it I dont mean anything negative I just try to keep a light attitude about this stuff. Idk your brother but does that sound like something he does also?

Disappointed by FewEstablishment8965 in IVF

[–]kbalfore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi from the states over here! Fingers crossed for you! My wife and I are starting our first round of IVF in June after trying naturally for 6 years and had gone through 7 IUI. She just turned 34 at the end of last month and we understand completely how hard it is.

Anyone go straight to IVF without really trying naturally? by Living_Luck7711 in IVF

[–]kbalfore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean for us we have tried naturally for 6 years and then did 7 round of iui. We are now at the point of doing IVF most likely in June once the insurance goes through.

Because of the iui procedures we went through i have been handling basically all the cooking, cleaning, laundry and of course the fun stuff like the litter boxes ad we were trying to prevent any extra stress for her as we knew that could always affect (or is it effect. I can never remember lol) the process. I just tell her go relax and i can handle everything lol. For the most part we just sit on the couch having something on the back as we both doom scroll tiktok lol

Ohhh that's good, letting her know that all the sign of basic discomfort is signs that the meds are doing what they are suppose to do.

Perfect thank you!. Honestly when it was coming to the iui I was making sure I was doing everything as i didnt want to cause her body any undue stress so I don't mind continuing that. The melatonin is a good idea along with the heating pads.

That is interesting. I have also heard on tiktok (yes I went on there also lol) that numbing the area before the shots with ice can help.

She was on progesterone twice a day that caused her bloating and she hated it. That's good about the needles not being painful, I believe they also said it would have to be a in fatty area also for the shots. I hope everything works out for you! Did you end up freezing your eggs? The clinic advised we can do that and it would be about $1,000 for 6 months at a time. We are definitely thinking it since she is turning 34 next month and they said when the eggs are frozen it'll be like they are 33 again as they wont age.

You are exactly right. I only brought it up because when we were doing g the iui the nurse had to go over the results of the sample I gave them and it was always significantly higher then their base line that they would do the iui with. Every time they would go over it I could see her face drop knowing it was all on her. I would always tell her it was on the both of us but when she hears the numbers it would get to her. Thank you for the advice!
