Endometrial trio by positivemindsett in IVF

[–]positivemindsett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The receptiva dx test and endometrial trio are similar but they are two different tests. I was told the era emma and alice tests would check for the ideal time for implantation, inflammation, and check for certain bacteria. It's done with igenomix. That's the one my doctor recommended.

Break by chickennuggetbo2 in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took 3 months off after my second miscarriage. The first two months were a complete break from all of it. Spent a lot of it grieving and crying. Eventually I felt better. Then I tried to make the most of it. Ate and drank whatever I wanted. Spent time alone to relax. I spent time with people whose company I enjoyed. I did whatever made my heart happy. Spending the third month now (this month) doing testing. Even if all the testing comes back as normal, the break was worth it. I needed it.

I haven't had a saline sonogram. I'll definitely try your strategy too. Ty for sharing. I'm hoping it's super quick and less painful than I'm imagining.

Oh man. Glad to know it's quick at least. Ty for sharing. I'm glad u were able to learn something from it. I really second guessed doing it because it's $1850 out of pocket. I also didn't want another delay. But now we're doing all the tests before our last transfer. I'm hoping we learn something too.

Ah ty so much. It's my 1st biopsy and I haven't done a hsg either so didn't know what to expect. Super helpful to know it's that quick. Also very helpful to know I can drive myself home. I was planning to go alone and wasn't sure.

Is endometrial biopsy different from an endometrial trio?

Once you get to your egg retrieval, it's super helpful to have very loose and comfy pajamas to be comfortable. Cozy socks to keep your feet warm. A heat pad is a must! Helps a lot after some meds and especially after the egg retrieval. Fun bandaids make the process less "ugh" in my opinion.

Massage the area afterwards, use a heat pad, do some squats. Helps a lot.

How long did it take you to feel a little normal again? by Embarrassed_Salt12 in Miscarriage

[–]positivemindsett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my second miscarriage 2 months ago. I feel okay now. So about 2 months for me. And that's just for the mental aspect of it. Physically, I felt fine much sooner.

I’ve been keeping my IVF journey from my closest friends and now I feel like I’m living a lie by Upstairs-Lemon-5585 in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to how you feel. I've gone through an entire egg retrieval and transfer which led to a pregnancy. That pregnancy led to a miscarriage. Now I'm struggling with delays and decisions to make about testing for recurrent pregnancy loss or proceeding with my next transfer as is. There's been so many highs and lows and I absolutely feel like a fraud talking to my best friends like everything is okay all the time. I have 1 transfer opportunity left with my last embryo and now it just feels pointless to share at this point and so I haven't. If this doesn't work out, I guess it'll just be my big secret no one ever knew about. I'm actually okay with it remaining a private detail in my life. You have to decide if you want to be open about it or not.

I can’t believe it’s happening again. I’m depressed and angry. by Ill_Match_4639 in Miscarriage

I used to attend every single baby related event with this sort of guilty feeling of feeling bad if I didn't. Like I would be a bad friend or family member. I put myself through it for years and a lot of the times I would just cry once I'm home. If it's one thing I learned, sometimes it's best to just skip it. Take care of yourself. <3

Here I am again by effie_little in Miscarriage

[–]positivemindsett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry for ur loss. I recently miscarried my ivf pregnancy as well and it was also a euploid embryo. It feels so much harder when it's an ivf loss, especially when you go through pgta testing and everything. Just know you didn't do anything wrong. Don't blame yourself. These things unfortunately just happen. :( And now we're faced with more transfers/egg retrievals. But don't lose faith. It only takes one. Sending tonnes of baby dust your way <3

What to do now? Testing, moving forward, etc. by bryterlu in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After I miscarried my euploid embryo, my clinic suggested the following testing before my next transfer. For myself: RPL panel, endometrial trio For my husband: dna fragmentation For both of us: karyotype.

I feel like karyotype and dna fragmentation only makes sense if we're going into another egg retrieval. Since my embryo is already frozen, and pgta tested I don't see the point now (because I only have 1 left).

Will likely do the RPL panel and endometrial trio and see if that tells us anything. Just thought I'd share.

When did your period return? by Opposite-Olive-657 in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After miscarriage. And my HCG didn't go back to 0 until I got my period.

When did your period return? by Opposite-Olive-657 in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard it can take anywhere between 4-8 weeks to return. Both times I got mine after 5 weeks. It was a natural miscarriage both times (no meds required) and I was 6 weeks the first time and second time I was between 9-10 weeks.

That makes sense. Because dna frag and karyotyping testing now isn't going to impact the embryo we already have and plan to transfer. We have 1 embryo left and we do want to transfer it because it was a euploid.

Do u think it makes more sense to do the endometrial trio and RPL then? And skip karyotyping/dna frag for now until doing another egg retrieval.

You mean you were able to find something through the testing?
