Infertility

If I see one more Facebook pregnancy announcement....

I swear, my already really hormonal self is going to have a breakdown.  Lol. Sitting here crying,  wondering if this 4th attempt at ivf will finally be "the one". While everyone around me pops out kids like they are pez dispensers.



Had my FET (2) on Thursday. They are day 7 frozen embryos.  I have 6 more on ice. ... just praying for a Christmas miracle,but really not trying to get my hopes up.  Every other time (x3) it has failed me.  

Just so not in the Christmas spirit this year.  

I don't want to take a home test.... how early can a positive result show anyways????? I am going in for my blood test NYE. 


UGH

Re: If I see one more Facebook pregnancy announcement....

  • Yeah, I hear ya. 

    My good friend just announced pregnancy number THREE on Facebook. Yeah- 3 pregnancies in 3 years. She knows what we're going through, so I'm surprised she didn't tell me first and give me a heads up.

    I mean... really?? THREE in 3 years??

  • @LeFemmeViolette omg.  I feel exactly like that.  I know girls i went to high school w or YOUNGER that are ob baby#4. I can't even have 1 yet and these girls are having 5 at a time lololol
  • I'm so so sorry (((hugs))) I know how hard it is. I finally disabled my Facebook than opened a secret Facebook and only friended a couple people that I chat with on there and who I know won't be getting pregnant and don't have small children. You might want to consider this, it has really helped a lot. I just made the excuse that I only wanted to use Facebook for the chat feature and therefor only friended them to chat.

    Oh and yes sometimes it feels like people are so insensitive. They are so caught up in their joy they don't even think of how anyone else might feel. I told my cousin a couple years ago about my struggles and now she is on #2 in the time I have been trying for #1 and I guess she must have completely forgot about what I'm going through because she decided to do a gender reveal game at our Family Christmas event so I had to fake sick and not go because i would have felt awful the whole time. They are attention seekers anyways and make a big deal of everything in their lives.

    TTC for 8 years.
    Started in 2008 with timed intercourse, ovulation testing, no official monitoring.
    OB-GYN recommended Clomid and timed intercourse, attempted for 6 straight months.
    First surgery June 2009 (OB-GYN): diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and large hydrosalpinx on right tube.
    Second surgery (July 2009, RE performed this): Right tube had to be removed, lots of adhesions removed.
    Attempted "trying on our own" as per RE recommendations, unsuccessful 5-6 months.
    HSG performed December 2009: left tube open.
    February 2010: started Femara and timed intercourse, attempted 6 months, no BFPs.
    Took a break for a while.
    January 2011: started IUI process, ovaries never properly responded to medications, 6 failed attempts, never actually completed an IUI.
    Took 2012-2014 off due to depression and frustration (side note: did complete grad school to become a nurse practitioner- great distraction).
    2015: started seeing RE again, went through tons of testing and HSG, left tube now blocked, only option is IVF.
    September 2015: Started first official IVF cycle, cancelled in October due to large cyst on left ovary.
    October 2015: started on birth control for 2 months.
    December 2015: attempted to start another IVF cycle, cysts on both ovaries on initial ultrasound, left was huge, cancelled to aspirated cyst.
    January 2016: Cyst back, surgery for ex-lap, cyst and adhesions removed.
    March 2016: Attempted second IVF cycle, estrogen way too high, cyst back, cancelled again.
    April 2016: Third attempted IVF cycle, 7 eggs retrieved, 2 mature (but not great) embryos made to fresh transfer, neither implanted.
    May-Sept 2016: Break to regain sanity.
    Sept-Oct 2016: Attempted fourth IVF cycle, very successful, cyst still on left but we ignored. 7 mature "great looking" eggs retrieved, 4 mature embryos made it to day 5 transfer. Transfer aborted due to large amount of endometriosis fluid in uterus.
    FET of 2 embryos completed on 12/12/16.
    12/22/16 1st Beta 179 BFP!!!
    12/24/16 2nd Beta 449!!
    EDD 8/30/17 with two girls!!!!!

    Audrey (4lb 8oz) and Olivia (6lb 6oz) born 8/10/17!!

  • Thanks ladies.  I really might stick to the gram.  Aka instagram..... at least I can control what I see on the re
  • I am totally there with you ladies. How in the hell in the last week did I get 3 pregnancy announcements? I think I am finally going to de-activate my facebook today. It is just too much for me right now coupled with the holidays
