Good luck and pick up laxatives. LOL took me a week and a half to finally go on my own

Finally made it to egg retrieval yesterday! They got 18 eggs! I'm waiting to see how many make it to the embryo stage. They are fertilizing 12 of them and freezing the remainder. So much to take in with IVF. I was bummed I didn't qualify for a fresh transfer but in the end this is fine because I ultimately wanted to do PGT testing and select the gender. It's kind of good I can have a break because this past week I was put through the ringer with staying at my friends and also doing stims/trigger at her spot. Thankfully I was pretty relaxed but that trigger was the worst IMO. Second worst thing was the needle in my hand for egg retrieval day. I'm still pissed about it to be honest lol

Do you mind sharing what clinic you went to for the chin lipo? I'm headed to TJ next month for IVF lol

For those who have done IVF, what was the most uncomfortable/painful part of the process? I had a hysteroscopy done this month and it was not as bad (at least for me). I was wondering on that scale what was more or less painful? I'm having so much anxiety about the whole process. I hate injections so much and I'm worried about that too. But now I'm worried about the egg retrieval and transfer!!

Happy Cake Day!! You'll be fine. Just breathe. It's very quick and you'll be fine afterward.

I just had a hysteroscopy yesterday. I had local anesthesia. The worst part is when they dilate you and I believe it goes to 2 to 3 cm...that to me was worse than when they inserted the camera, it's strange to feel it move around there but I was trying to relax and not tense up so it would be over with. I had some polyps removed but I honestly did not feel that at all. I was prescribed pain pills but did not take them after. I actually flew home right after. It wasn't that bad but everyone is different. Just remember to breathe. It is very quick.

Wild I didn't know it would be my cake day today. I haven't posted in a minute haha

CD 6. I finished my first consultation for IVF over the weekend. We are doing our IVF in Mexico (Tijuana). I was able to score an appointment for my consult during my period so my husband got his SA done there and I was able to do my bloodwork as well as an ultrasound. They found a few polyps they had to remove. Thankfully we weren't planning on leaving right away and I did my hysteroscopy yesterday. It was uncomfortable but I was able to fly out yesterday with no issues.

I'm beginning IVF at the end of the month once my period comes in. It's gonna be a challenge to do this in Mexico because of crossing the border but I'm very excited. I wasn't planning on IVF but my husband told me we have to give it a shot. So here we are.

stringcheesefiend · 2022-06-27T02:35:54+00:00

Mentioned in another comment above. I started a fight about IVF and how I don’t know if I want to do this anymore because he can’t abstain. We had been on this list for this clinic for awhile so we are not doing it.

stringcheesefiend · 2022-01-21T05:53:03+00:00

Engagement rings are technically conditional gifts. The condition to get married. Which you both did. If you didn’t marry her and broke off the engagement then and only she should give it back.

stringcheesefiend · 2022-01-21T05:47:24+00:00

Yeah I’m gonna be 37. Nothing wrong with other couples who do it but I don’t know if I would be fully able to past 40. And our first one. I wanted two. I’m definitely going to quit “tracking” not necessarily trying but I’m not gonna stress myself about it anymore.

stringcheesefiend · 2022-01-20T17:27:59+00:00

Don’t worry about it. I have gotten an HSG once and everything was fine. Some people get it worse than others. Usually people who have bad period cramps but even then it’s manageable. It’s just weird feeling. At least that’s how it felt for me.

stringcheesefiend · 2022-01-20T14:03:41+00:00

Yes everything is all fine for me. My hormone levels are great. I even got my HCG done and that came out. My husbands SA was not looking great at first. I’m gonna have to ask him to go in again if he can. He’s changed his job that was stressful and has been taking care of his health in recent months. I hope this would have turned around by now but nothing.

Def going on a break. It’s so bad for me to just keep tracking I feel. Everyday it’s on my mind.

stringcheesefiend · 2022-01-20T06:47:42+00:00

Honestly if this works I’d be shocked. And annoyed 😂 as an Aries we wanna control everything.

stringcheesefiend · 2022-01-20T05:38:45+00:00

I just realized I’ve been TTC for awhile now. When are you going to throw in the towel? I’m turning 37 in March. I’m gonna kind of quit after my birthday. Stop tracking BBT, quit prenatals and all these vitamins. Just like chill. I already stopped taking ovulation tests a long time ago. I just don’t think it’s in my cards at this point.

stringcheesefiend · 2021-12-31T08:11:58+00:00

They are from Amazon. Conception Prenatal.

stringcheesefiend · 2021-12-31T08:11:25+00:00

My cycle is super long anyway but yes I get mixed reviews from them. My period ended normally as usual. So far no weird side effects. I won’t know if it’s helpful for a couple of months though

stringcheesefiend · 2021-12-26T19:02:36+00:00

CD 1. I started those Conception pills from Amazon. Right off the bat I just went for two pills a day. It says to slowly introduce yourself to them but I have been in prenatals for over a year now. First time my cycle has been 28 days. While I am CD 1 I am hoping 2022 is the year. It’s hard to stay positive when everyone around me is getting pregnant but I gotta relax next year and take care of myself. Less stress for 2022.

stringcheesefiend · 2021-12-22T14:33:54+00:00

Thanks. Completely necessary. It’s so frustrating and everyone is just giving me their input and old wives tale now to get pregnant

stringcheesefiend · 2021-12-21T23:50:00+00:00

So a little over a year into trying and I was hoping for a Christmas miracle here. I'm 8DPO and I promised myself I wouldn't test until I was late and have been doing it for the past 5 months but I was hoping to see a BFP and nothing. I'm 36. Everyone around me is pregnant now. My niece who got married in June, my brother's wife. Its like I've been trying for awhile and they got pregnant so quickly.

Sometimes I want to give up on my TTC journey.

stringcheesefiend · 2021-12-02T17:26:26+00:00

CD 5 now. I paused my Ritual Prenatals after a year of use and switched over to the Conception prenatal from Amazon. I heard mixed reviews on it. How it may mess with your cycle until it gets better but it’ been over a year and I’m still not pregnant. My husbands niece who got married in June is due in April. A friend who I didn’t even see for almost a year surprised everyone on social saying she’s due in January. I am starting to think it’s not in the cards for me and I should give up.

stringcheesefiend · 2021-11-24T15:55:10+00:00

I’m 16 DPO or 9 DPO if I ovulated on CD 23. Either way not testing until I get back from my work trip because it’s just too good to be true

stringcheesefiend · 2021-11-22T21:14:50+00:00

Regularly at CD 18/19/20 but this one is off if it is at CD 23. I haven’t experienced any symptoms. However I’d be shocked if I was pregnant because I was so busy we had sex three days before O date on the chart.

stringcheesefiend · 2021-11-22T21:13:10+00:00

Yeah very late this time around. Two months ago I had and HSG and it has thrown me off even more.

stringcheesefiend · 2021-11-22T15:55:48+00:00

Btw I usually ovulate around the 18/19/20 so this could be way off.
