Hey, all.
Thank you for sharing your stories yesterday. They are always amazing to read and further solidifies how much shit we've all been through to get here and how bad ass we are! Where's everyone from?
What's new? How's your week going? Any updates, feels, reservations, etc?
Nothing new here. Just chugging along until baseline in a few days 😬. Nursing my hot flashes and bruised stomach lol. You know, just regular old IVF stuff 😅

Hiiii!! My name is Natasha, 29 years old soon to be 30 this month. I started my IVF journey in February. Been TTC for almost two and a half years. Went to a fertility clinic in 2019/2020 that I hated and did 2 medicated cycles that failed along with 3 failed IUI’s. Took a long break and found an awesome clinic and I love my doctor. We are finally diagnosed with unexplained infertility with possible male factor (hubby has 3% morphology). IVF was recommended and hubby and I decided to roll with it and give it a chance. I had my retrieval a little over a week ago and got the call yesterday that I officially have 6 embabies on ice 🥰. This is my first IVF/FET experience so Im feeling allllll of the feelings lol. I have a hysteroscopy coming up in exactly one week and then I get to prepare for a transfer. I’m really excited and nervous!

Hope the bruising and flushes aren't too bad B! I had my lining scan today and for the green light for ERA biopsy on 9th wooo 😊 also, good job I did double check about the progesterone (thank you Sandy!) because they did have me down for 6 full days progesterone before ERA on day 7, but when I queried it, it should have been 5 full days and ERA on day 6. Apparently they'd done it like they would a normal FET cycle, but I don't know if that's right doing 6 days PIO before a FET anyway, maybe that's their standard protocol, I don't know 🤔 very confused. But luckily we caught the problem, and the ERA should tell us the exact progesterone timing I need anyway right? Trying to stay positive!

Good luck with your ERA! I had my first biopsy today and it wasn't fun but it wasn't the worst pain I've ever felt. Hope yours isn't too bad

Omg- so glad you checked! Also my clinic messes up all the time and I’m constantly making the nurses double check things with my doctor that I know to be true for my protocols.

Hi B, I’ve been reading and feeling connected with all your posts since the Jan/Feb group. Although I was not commenting, I went through my first IVF cycle and fresh transfer in February. Today we found out it’s likely a chemical and will pass in the next week or so. We have been TTC for over 18 months and this was our first “positive” test. Feeling quite devastated over the early loss.

Yep, unexplained for three years now, never a positive test. Failed ivf transfers and iui. So frustrating!!

So sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. It is an swful feeling to have such great news ripped away from you. I have been there and just want to say keep moving forward. You can do this! For me, it took more than a few tries, but it was worth it. Wishing you the best of luck!

Love the pic. Too true. I got my last scan before transfer tomorrow (which I bullied them into giving me.) long story but I basically said if they didn’t check me again I wanted to cancel the transfer lol. Anyway. I’m glad I did because now I have peace of mind. My lining is 1.4 and trilaminar. That’s the best it’s looked in all three transfer cycles so far.Fingers crossed my transfer goes smoothly tomorrow :)

Well... I just burst out crying on the phone with my nurse because my doctor told me it was 100% fine to go get my covid vaccine and now they are telling me I have to wait 30 days past my 2nd dose to do a transfer. And I am just so upset. I just feel like my doctor completely lied to me. Why would he do that?

Awe man! Had you asked if there would be a wait before getting it?

Also I forgot to add, they did a 3D scan today as well and told me I now have a fibroid (which has never been mentioned before so assuming it wasn't there). They weren't concerned, said it's not too big, and isn't impeding my uterus or lining so wouldn't have caused any implantation issues, but I feel like it's just another thing for me to worry about now 😣 anyone else have any experience with a fibroid?

I had cyst when I went for baseline in Jan so they postponed my cycle . In February again cyst was still there but they decided to go ahead with STIMS because cyst has become nonfunctional. During my egg retrieval they punctured it
