IF Testing & Treatment w/o June 10

britters314

**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.

Diagnosis (if you've been):

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

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?):

How are things going?:

Any questions?:

GTKY: Tell a fun fact about yourself.

Diagnosis (if you've been): Unexplained

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

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Contract phase for embryo adoption

How are things going?: Good. We had a bit of a delay while working out the details of the contact between us and the placing parents, so we haven’t gotten our paperwork to sign yet. It shouldn’t be too much longer though.

Any questions?: Nope

GTKY: Tell a fun fact about yourself.
I collect spoons (the souvenir kind, not just random spoons). I haven’t gotten many in recent years because I haven’t traveled to new places, but I’m hoping to start back up.

@britters314 Good luck with the embryo adoption!

Diagnosis (if you've been): Unexplained RPL.

Status (TI/ICI/IUI/IVF/FET/benched): benched I guess? 

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): FET was unsuccessful.  I have to wait until August to meet with doctor to discuss what's next.  Also, wondering if I started to become allergic to the Progesterone in Oil because the last several days my butt has been very itchy from injections and only seems worse...  *sigh*

How are things going?: 

Any questions?:  Nope.

GTKY: Tell a fun fact about yourself.  I'm a bit out of fun right now, but I can see my GIF, so I'll say that I have several medals from the Novice Championships in England for Archery from when I studied abroad.

@dpjennifer I’m sorry your FET wasn’t successful. Do you have any embryos left or would you have to think about doing another retrieval to try again?

dpjennifer

@britters314 We have one more good embryo left.  Then a mosaic embryo we'd have to consider.

@dpjennifer I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that at least one of those embryos results in a healthy baby for you!
