Anyone went through or are going through IVF?

Question

Hey everyone I'm new here. Just switched over from another app since it quit working. It's harder to find people who are going through fertility treatments on this one so I figured I'd make a post! Anyways me and DH have to go through IVF. We spent last year testing and found we have to do IVF. We start injections and all in two months and I was wondering what all to expect. How was your experiences with IVF good and bad? Thanks in advanced for your responses : )

Answer

We conceived our son with IVF ICSI. Had a fantastic doctor and the experience couldn't have been better. We now have 5 frozen fertilized embryos to turn to if TTC #2 doesn't happen naturally.

Answer

Hey Krystal. Any particular reason u used ICSI. I'm starting IVF next month and that wasn't in the plans. Did u only transfer one egg.

Answer

Meagan, I agree it is hard to find people going through or planning to start ivf. We just finished thr first cycle (we did FET) and in 2ww period. 
​
​In our case the process was not so stressful primarily because my husband and I kept positive attitude and kept normal routine.

​As far as the shots were concerned, they were not painful but as follicles started to grow, I felt bloated and had to use bathroom more. I did have severe ab pain after retrieval and was in bed for two days. Progesterone in oil shot was and is painful and I have constant sore butt now lol because in my case this inter muscular shot is given every day but I got used to it. 
​
​Good luck to you and try to stay positive even if it gets stressful or frustrating. I'm finding that the hardest part is not the injection or not being able to have s glass of wine but by far this 2ww!!!!
