IF Testing and Treatment W/O 1/23

mambo5-2

This is a place for those of us who have already started TTC, but have started infertility testing and/or treatments. You can express your thoughts, feelings, and frustrations on infertility. TTC can be a long journey naturally, then add in the difficulties associated with infertility, and it becomes a whole new ballgame. The road to infertility can be lonely, frustrating, and complicated, so let's make this a place where we can vent, ask questions, and support one another. Feel free to resurrect this thread at any point in the week if you have something to say. Treat this as an ongoing conversation.

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): nothing. considering even possibly not taking progesterone after ovulation.

Any questions?: Is there any harm in taking progesterone cycle after cycle after cycle?

GTKY: What is something I would never guess about you? I was a vegetarian for 8 years, and I really don't enjoy eating meat, but my H is a big meat eater and it's just easier to cook and eat it. But I definitely could live without it. Except bacon..hehe

@mambo5-2 wow about marrying at 19! i'm so glad it seems to have worked out!

@bearmomma1 i been so long without meat that i don't even know the basics about how to cook it. at this point, although i'm very happy being vegetarian, i am at least partly vegetarian because it would require a lot of work to learn how to cook meat but i'm a pretty good veggie cook.

Diagnosis (if you've been): decrepit ovary, body that doesn't want to be pregnant

Status (TI/ICI/IUI/IVF/FET/benched): benched

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): waiting for my beta so i can stop the shots

How are things going?: for those of you who have been following along here, i tested yesterday and tested again this morning and my tests are stark white. i am, almost beyond a shadow of a doubt, not pregnant. i was telling @acleverusername in a different forum that one of the hardest things about this for me, for some reason, is having to contend with other people's sympathy. So, you know, please don't be sorry for me. Just remind me that i'm going to get to drink actual booze again soon, and that i can stop injecting my a** daily with 2ml of progesterone in oil soon. i am really, really tempted to just quit the pio but i know i need to wait for my beta on Sunday.

Any questions?: nah

GTKY: What is something I would never guess about you? i dunno uh, i'm kind of an open book, even online, apparently. everything i can think of to say about myself seems like something people would already know, or have guessed. how about: i used to be a martial artist. i held a black belt in one system and was on the cusp of a black belt in a second system when i quit practicing 4 years ago because i worried about getting kicked when i was first trying to get KU.

@optimistgardener I feel ya on wanting to stop the PIO a literal pain the the butt. I felt the same thing when my transfer failed in June, I was over the shots for no reason.

@optimistgardener cheers to the booze friend. I’ll have a drink with and for you tonight. And cheers to no more shots in the ass!
