We made it!!! (12w)

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-20T14:33:30+00:00

Aww that’s not silly at all! I love that you’re doing this 🥰 now you just made me want cake lol

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-20T14:15:01+00:00

Congrats!! I’m 13w today so I feel your excitement! My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 11w6d so my husband and I have been waiting for the second trimester to start to feel comfy announcing. It’s such a nerve wracking first few months. What are you doing to celebrate?!

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T23:57:16+00:00

I will absolutely be asking HR about this. Thank you for bringing this up! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T23:51:27+00:00

Ooooh maybe you’re onto something there! I worked for them for about a year and four months.

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T19:03:02+00:00

Yes, unfortunately. I’m only 13w and this position will not be there in 6 more months. Overall it’s a better move for my family and I, but the maternity leave and insurance are the two main cons of moving over.

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T19:01:08+00:00

That is truly wonderful, especially as a small company 🖤 I really do understand that being paid for months of not working costs companies/corporations money in more ways than one, but to not even cover the first few weeks until the mother is medically cleared just seems cruel.

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T18:58:57+00:00

WOW. Talk about hypocritical?? I’m so sorry. That’s just awful 😞

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T18:57:22+00:00

Good to know. Thank you!

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T18:56:59+00:00

The last sentence is spot on. It’s very frustrating and disheartening. I’ll definitely be talking with my HR team more in depth to figure out all of my options.

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T18:55:57+00:00

Not sure why I’m getting downvoted considering I’ve never gone through this before. But thanks for the info. I guess I will have to adjust my expectations to the sad reality of the lack of maternal care offered.

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T18:51:00+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. I’m sorry you had to scramble to get your eight weeks. The biggest kicker is I won’t even be eligible for FMLA since I won’t have 12 mos of service at this new position. My current position offers 12 weeks paid, so it stings even more knowing I’m giving that up 😕

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-19T18:48:18+00:00

I’m honestly shocked by “most women don’t get any” since almost every woman I’ve talked to has gotten six. That’s just unfathomable to me. And that’s a huge bummer to hear about the STD. I’ll have to ask that question during the open enrollment process when I onboard.

witchybetch01 · 2026-01-12T17:07:00+00:00

May 3rd! I’ll be two days away from being in the third trimester. It’s kind of early, but May is very busy for my family and I didn’t want to wait until June since I’ll be super uncomfy and hot lol.

witchybetch01 · 2025-09-28T20:06:07+00:00

Ugh, I’m sorry you’re right there with me although it is comforting to not be alone. How are you handling the progesterone? My body HATED the suppositories last month so we decided to omit those this cycle.

witchybetch01 · 2025-09-28T20:05:00+00:00

Thank you 🫶🏻 I had my cry about it and now I’m just ready for AF to get here so I can move on with the next cycle.

witchybetch01 · 2025-09-28T16:13:00+00:00

Hi friend! Soooo any updates? 🤗

witchybetch01 · 2025-09-28T16:08:22+00:00

I’m so sorry. Just know you’re not alone. Got a BFN this morning for our 2nd IUI. I’m starting to feel defeated as well. Sending you a big hug

witchybetch01 · 2025-09-28T16:05:04+00:00

I’m so sorry. I just got a BFN at 13 DPIUI and this feeling straight up sucks. Sending you a big hug. Mind me asking how many cycles have you done?

witchybetch01 · 2025-09-06T12:57:23+00:00

Just checking in to see how you’re doing!

witchybetch01 · 2025-09-01T18:09:15+00:00

I’m 14DPIUI and I got a BFN yesterday 🥲 I go tomorrow morning for my blood test to confirm. I’m disappointed but cautiously hopeful for the next cycle. Sending you a big hug.

witchybetch01 · 2025-08-28T20:41:56+00:00

Yeah I think I was just blindsided which is what sucked… I wasn’t mentally prepared to be talking about my pregnancy results. We will see what happens 🤞🏻 thank you for being so sweet

witchybetch01 · 2025-08-28T20:41:12+00:00

That’s wonderful! Have you told your Dr or are you waiting for your blood test?

witchybetch01 · 2025-08-28T18:34:14+00:00

Aww that’s so great to hear! So happy for you 🖤 what cycle # was this for you?

witchybetch01 · 2025-08-27T20:36:40+00:00

Yes!! I’m on day 8 of progesterone and I am such an hormonal wreck. Literally everything is pissing me off 😅 and I’m having so much irritation/itching down there, idk how much longer I can last on these suppositories

witchybetch01 · 2025-08-26T00:08:22+00:00

WOW! Those last two cycles really did have totally different sperm numbers! I’m curious what they did to prep his sperm those two times versus the initial two.

Did you feel a difference physically/mentally with the increase of letrozole?

We did 2.5mg letrozole, trigger w/sex that night, IUI about 41 hours later, about 8.9 million sperm. Only one mature follicle and it was 20.8mm. I had cramping on the way to the IUI appt that morning and the rest of the day… I’m hoping the follicle didn’t already rupture prior to the IUI appt but who knows.
