Trying To Conceive Circle
Final FET – CD 1
Cycle Day 1… Here we go again. This time though - I know it’s the last time I’ll climb on this roller coaster ride. This time I’m far more aware of the heartbreak that may lay at the end of this road. This time I’m not blissfully and naively planning for the best. I’ve accepted…
3DP3DT – Medications Suck.
3DP3DT... So what essentially, in the world of normal pregnancy, be considered 6DPO. Too early to have legit pregnancy symptoms, too early to test positive, etc. However, thanks to the amazing IVF Medications I've got going on - I feel AWFUL already. Absolutely, 150% awful. Pure exhaustion - I'...
ER and Transfer Done – 2DP3DT of 3 Embryos – 06/22/2023
Well, just like that - The awful journey of our 2nd retrieval is over. Now, moving into the awful waiting for 2ish weeks to see what happens. How did that journey turn out? Not well... Manifesting was garbage. My results - less than impressive. Remember, I wanted 10 eggs... 8 fertilized... a c...
Maybe manifestation is working… Retrieval scheduled for Saturday.
Let's recap with yesterday's manifestation rambling... "So, for today I’ll end this with my manifestation, my believing, my praying…. Wednesday, June 7th, Baselines and Day 1 of Stims… I hoped to have 9 follicles on the right and 4 follicles on the left. That was my manifestation. Lucky number ...
IVF – Stim Day 6 – Such a lonely process.
Eleven days since my last entry. Eleven days of ups and downs. Of course. I'm on Day 7 of stim meds today. Seven straight days of injecting myself 3 times a day and then 4 times a day starting yesterday. Seven straight days of hormones coursing through my body, making my already weak mind weak...
Lied to Myself – Negatives do hurt.
I lied. Absolutely, positively lied to myself. Completely. This whole time I said I'd take home pregnancy tests leading up to my beta as "I'm used to a negative". Well, I am used to a negative. Completely. 100%. They didn't phase me... However, I'm not used to a negative after injecting my...
5DP3DT – Just Waiting.
I had planned to journal through the whole stim process. Obviously at some point that idea went out the window. Why did I not write another entry? I have no idea. It was a chaotic roller coaster and before I knew it, we were done. I responded well. Very quickly. We went from 9 follicles…
IVF – Baselines and Stim Day 1 – 10/26/22
Yesterday was the full beginning of this journey. Completed Baseline Ultrasound and Labs. 7 Follicles on the Right, 2 Follicles on the left. Praying these grow and more pop up that are good. I know that each follicle doesn't guarantee an egg. 9 sounds great, until you realize all 9 may be wor...
AMH Results, Game Plan Options
Another day. Another week of crappy answers. The biopsy came back fine. Thankfully. I should be thrilled, but I honestly wasn't really worried that it wouldn't. Then it popped up that I had more results. Waiting for the AMH and logged in - Well, THAT was depressing. New levels - .45. Seriou...
New Girl
Hey, I'm new to this site but just looking for a place to write down some of my thoughts and maybe meet some new people. My name is Hailey and my husband, and I are going through infertility. We found out a month ago that my husband will not be able to have children on…
