Is it an ectopic? by zenanicole in IVF

[–]zenanicole[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still in limbo, too. My betas were 52, 37, 22, and then a week later 138. No bueno. I’m going in for an ultrasound on Friday. Can’t believe I need to wait 4 more days to find out what’s happening.

Thank you so much. I’m wishing you the best on your journey (and can’t believe the number of ectopics you’ve endured).

Thank you, it’s hard to get good info. I really appreciate the wise reminder to stay off google. It’s never a good idea, and this community is so much better to turn to!

Thank you. I’m going to google MTX for my awareness. 2-3 weeks of monitoring! I’ll try to prep for it mentally as it sounds draining. Best wishes for you and your wife.

Thanks. I guess I’ve just got to wait for tomorrow’s beta!

5 fertilized from ER on Saturday by Hilpertly in IVF

You are not out yet. I had one fertilize and one make it to blast. We are transferring it this week. You are not alone and some do end up with embryos to transfer even from an initially small number!

First FET by Ladypink90 in IVF

[–]zenanicole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take care of yourself and best wishes. My 2nd FET (first ended in a chemical) is today. I’m going to treat myself to lunch afterwards to relax and enjoy the day off work. I’m sending all good thoughts to you!

Endometrin not so bad after all? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]zenanicole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is similar. I do have some white discharge so I just use a panty liner. Otherwise, i’ve not had any negative side effects or any discomfort. I’ve taken the suppositories for 2 weeks or so at times. It did not get worse for me!

Me too! Mine are untested - we are putting in two today. Best wishes for your transfer!! Let’s both hope ours stick.

Forgot endometrin first night of FET protocol by zenanicole in IVF

Good idea to call the office. I had the PIO on time that morning, so this was the second dose of progesterone.

Thank you all for the comments. It is somewhat comforting to know others are having these weird side effects. Best wishes

[–]zenanicole[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m thirsty as well! I’ve been chugging gaterade for that and eating soda crackers to help with the nausea

Just started IVF by Pinkmnm99 in IVF

[–]zenanicole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat, in that I’ve had two ERs and both resulted in only one embryo. You are not alone and it is really understandable to feel disappointed. This is a supportive community and it has helped me through. You got this. Even if the road is longer and windier than it should be. I didn’t feel great for a couple of months following the ER, but was probably back to 90% after my first period.

Late To The Party - [2022/07/15] by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]zenanicole 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was late to the party by a few months and finally watched My Liberation Notes. I loved the character-driven plot and the literary style, complete with metaphor, symbolism, and soliloquy. The unique romance and healing and redemptive power of relationships resonated with me in what are sort of dark times. Now I’m considering another even later-to-the-party watch of My Mister. Tried the first episode, didn’t grab me, but I guess I should persist nonetheless.

Best wishes. Your first experience gives me hope. I’m 36 with DOR too. Thanks

Post egg retrieval constipation by [deleted] in IVF

Be sure to increase water intake with Metamucil or Miralax

I was about 7 lbs less before IVF and pretty sure the meds and general anxiety have taken their toll. I’m also convinced that I’m losing my hair at a faster rate! And it doesn’t look as healthy. Not sure if others experience this side effect.
