Hi all,

I had my first <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> cycle between June - July. Fresh transfer of 2 blasts on day 5. We were thrilled last week to get a double digit beta (doc office said anything in double digits was a +, and I was well above) and spent each day since noticing my symptoms and starting to figure out how our life will look when we have our first child. I had pregnancy symptoms all last week - my bladder felt like it had shrunk 50%, I was super thirsty, had a crazy sense of smell, mild nausea, etc.

Today I woke up and felt normal again. I had my 2ndblood test this morning and my betas came back lower than last week. The news was delivered by a doctor at our clinic who we've never even met. She didn't even tell me if I should expect to get AF soon, if it's going to be more painful than usual, etc.

We paid out of pocket for <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> and have no frozen embryos left. F***** all of this, and please don't tell me to "stay positive." This is grueling, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
