IF Testing and Treatment Week of 01/06-01/12

bluetickgal · January 2020

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 ball game. 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 (WTO/TWW/TTA):

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

How are things going?:

Any questions?:

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019?

bluetickgal · January 2020

Diagnosis (if you've been): PCOS and Unexplained RPL

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Letrozole (5mg), TI, and Progesterone after O

How are things going?: Going pretty well! Trying to keep the crazy away during this TWW...and doing ok with it overall! I’m definitely in the see-saw of hopeful and feeling out, but we’ll see what it should really be by the end of the week! In other news, DH and I have re-committed to a healthy lifestyle after doing terrible over the holidays...and I’m so excited about that!

Any questions?: None right now.

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019? Meeting all of you wonderful ladies!! I hate that we are all here, but I’m so happy we are in this together and here to support each other! You all are truly amazing!!

@bows22 sending you all the positive vibes for your procedure tomorrow (was thinking it was today, but then looked back at last week’s thread and realized that was wrong)! Hope all goes well, and you get news of good results very soon!!

@inthewoods23 hoping your biopsy & receptivity test goes well today and you can move on to your next FET very soon!!

*Edited because I realized I had a procedure date wrong!

inthewoods23 · January 2020

@bluetickgal thanks! It's later this morning. Just trying to make sure I don't use the bathroom beforehand!

Diagnosis (if you've been): unexplained, low morph

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): I'll classify myself as TWW now since the biopsy today (which is technically like 5dpo anyway)

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): biopsy today! Results for Receptiva come in a week, and the ERA in 2 weeks

How are things going?: Good. The day is finally here! Hope we get our results fast but so much is going on this week that I'm sure it will fly by and we'll get the first results before I know it

Any questions?: not right now

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019?
Road tripping to Chattanooga (a 13 hour drive with charging stops!) and Atlanta for a 4 day weekend.

mvt2003 · January 2020

Diagnosis (if you've been): MFI

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

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

How are things going?: We spent Friday night doing our IVF informed consent videos - I really really wanted MH to understand the risks of all of this plus the fact that this is an intense medical procedure, which I think he does now. He got a lot of hopefulness from our initial RE meeting, and I also needed him to recognize that this is not a sure thing. He did not realize at all that some ER cycles do not work, for example.

I also have to call my insurance today to check in on the prescriptions, hoping that I can FINALLY get some clarity on the topic.

Any questions?: Nope

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019? Probably my vacation with MH to VA - I got to spend some time relaxing and reading by a pool.

feather_heather · January 2020

@inthewoods23 - Hope everything goes smoothly today!

kpearse99 · January 2020

Diagnosis (if you've been): Secondary Unexplained IF

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): 7.5 of Letrozole, IUI #4 and Progesterone after O

How are things going?: Ehhh... it's okay. I tested yesterday morning at 12 dpiui and it was a BFN so I'm not expecting much from my beta tomorrow. I took it surprisingly well yesterday, but today I'm a little more sadder about it. I'm still taking the progesterone, though, just in case it was too early... but at least I'm prepared for negative news tomorrow when they call me while I'm at work. I'm ready to get to this next cycle and switch things up a bit with the Clomid. I know a few people that got their BFP when they switched up their meds to clomid, so FX!

Any questions?: What are the main differences between Letrozole and Clomid?

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019? hmmmm.... my trip to Napa with DH!

@bluetickgal I agree that meeting all of you has been such an amazing memory. I also hate that we are all here, but I wouldn't be getting through all of these tough times if we weren't together.

@inthewoods23 thinking of you!! I hope it all goes super smoothly today!

@mvt2003 I'm glad YH seems to fully understand how serious this all is now and the risks that are involved. I hope you get good answers from insurance today!

kiki047 · January 2020

@bluetickgal ooh I need to join you on that healthy lifestyle commitment. The holidays were dangerous.
@inthewoods23 good luck today!
@mvt2003 glad YH is starting to see the light a little. It's good you're trying to educate him along the way too. I hope you can get some answers from insurance today.
@kpearse99 I'm so sorry for the BFN

re: letrozole v. clomid, the best way I can explain it is that letrozole is an anti-estrogen drug so it inhibits the enzyme (aromatase) that produces the estrogen hormones. Clomid blocks estrogen receptors, thereby stimulating the hypothalamus to produce more FSH & LH. The end result is often the same, they're both anti-estrogen drugs that stimulate ovulation. Letrozole tends not to thin your lining as much, and clomid shouldn't be used when you're prone to cysts. Letrozole doesn't linger in your body while clomid can build up which is why there's a lifetime limit of how many clomid cycles you should be allowed to do (I think it's 3). Someone gave a really good analogy of the difference a while ago but I can't remember who it was and now I can't find the thread.

kpearse99 · January 2020

@kiki047 thanks for the information! My lining tends to be on the thinner side to begin with, so I am nervous about that effect from trying Clomid....sigh. I'm feeling defeated again

emeraldduchess · January 2020

Gotta post and run but I'll be back with tags later! Good luck today, @inthewoods23!!

Diagnosis (if you've been): Unexplained IF, unexplained RPL, possible luteal phase defect/low progesterone

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): letrozole, trigger, TI and progesterone post-O

How are things going?: OK. I don't have confirmation that I O'ed because my temps were so messed up from being sick and being on winter break. I just assume 36-48 hours after I did the trigger on Tuesday night it happened. I started progesterone yesterday, but I have what *could* be spotting today, so IDK what the heck is going on. I also have a teeny bit of EWCM and my OPKs are STILL super-dark but not blazing positive (had a blazing + on Wednesday, Thursday). My body needs to stop the shenanigans. I am running out of time and patience.

Any questions?: Nope. May post my chart in the question thread later.

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019? Hmm. 2019 was not very kind to me, but there were good moments. Probably celebrating my friend's and my birthdays with afternoon tea.

kiki047 · January 2020

@kpearse99 hopefully they'll keep a close eye on things and can adjust as necessary. It's worth a shot at least! There's lots of reasons why it could work too, and clomid is considered the 'gold standard' of fertility drugs for ovulation stimulation.

Diagnosis (if you've been): PCOS, mild MFI

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Natural cycle while we're in limbo waiting for PGT results for our 3 frozen embryos (our appt is Thurs Jan 9th)

How are things going?: Honestly, better than expected. We've had a lot of ups and downs over the holidays, but I started teletherapy with someone that specializes in IF/loss trauma and that has been really helpful (Miss.Conception Coach, if anyone is on IG and follows her... if you don't, you really should. She's brilliant and is just as warm and reassuring and insightful IRL as she comes across online). I decided not to temp or track much and while I'm reasonably sure when I O'd, I'm also doing a fairly decent job at just trying not to overanalyze every ltitle thing, which is possibly one of the first times I can say that with any sort of confidence in 2 years (I went off BCP at Christmas in 2017 so it's been a full 2 years now). However, I also got (what I think is) a yeast infection last week, couldn't get in to see my GP and my RE's office blew me off telling me to go to my family doctor so in an effort to be proactive I just bought Canesten and it seems to be completely gone now so... yay? And despite what I just said 5 seconds ago about not fixating on my cycle/TWW, I am slightly freaking out that I jeopardized my slim chance that anything happened this month while we "weren't trying" (but still HIO for fun).

Any questions?: For anyone that did PGT, did your RE's office offer any kind of genetic counselling or would that go through CooperGenomics/a third party? I'm scared to ask about cost for that? Trying to mentally prepare ourselves for bad news on Thursday.

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019? Our wedding in July, and our Hawaiian honeymoon is a close 2nd.

kpearse99 · January 2020

@Kiki047 - you're right, it's still worth a shot, at the very least. It's a different thing to try and I need to get myself back to being optimistic about trying something different instead of keeping with the same protocol. So you find out your results on Thursday?? eeeeek! I'm so excited for you!

shoogapoff · January 2020

@bluetickgal FX for you! You're so sweet! And I agree about finding this place being a huge highlight in 2019 for me too!

@mvt2003 I hope you get clarity on insurance benefits soon. I'm glad you and YH talked about the reality of IVF. I know for me, blind optimism from lack of information is really frustrating and can make me swing to ultra-pessimism. Hopefully you two can be realistically optimistic together!

@kpearse99 I think @kiki047 gave really good information on clomid. I started with clomid and had a good response, but developed a thin lining and cyst, so I went to letrozole and injectables after that. I've heard clomid works a little better than letrozole typically, and that's why it's usually used first, unless you have side-effects (like i did).Is there a reason they aren't adding gonal-f or something like that? (Besides it being stupidly expensive!)

Diagnosis (if you've been): blocked tube, AMA

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): letrozole, gonal f, trigger, IUI #3, and progesterone post-o

How are things going?: CD 1 was yesterday so I went to the dr this morning for my baseline ultrasound. They found a cyst on my fallopian tube- the same side as my blockage. So I've been googling, of course. It says that type of cyst could be a symptom of endometriosis...I just need to ask my doctor what he thinks I guess.

Any questions?: See above. Any insight?

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019? Probably meeting my now best- friend. I've been really lonely in the female friendship department, and she has just been a huge blessing.

kpearse99 · January 2020

@shoogapoff thanks for the additional information! It's helpful to hear everyone's experience and knowledge, so I really am thankful! My RE won't add injectables with my IUI and medicated cycles because they really add to the chance of having multiples and we need to avoid that as much as possible. I'm sorry they found a cyst, I really really hope it turns out to be nothing! When will you ask your doctor about it?

inthewoods23 · January 2020

@mvt2003 it helps to be optimistic but also realistic.

@kpearse99 ugh so sorry about the BFN

@emeraldduchess dammit shenanigans!

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/lv/s9b65vg70wyb.jpg

@kiki047 you might have good luck on the IF board for your question on the PGT. We ended up with all but one being normal so unfortunately I can't answer the question, but I'm sure someone has some experience

@shoogapoff don't have any insight but I hope that doesn't stop this round of IUI

Biopsy went fine. 20 minutes past my appointment time is when they finally called me in. I had a nice booklet on the Receptiva test to read while she did her thing. And surprisingly no pain meds needed afterward! Just some minor uncomfortable kind of cramping. The kind that just makes you feel a little meh.

I'll be on provera for 6 days to get my period (why idk, but whatever). The next cycle we do nothing again to give the body time to calm down and then we go into the FET cycle. So I think BC will be started again in late February which probably means a FET in April, and that's being somewhat hopeful there are no major delays or too many bookings.

keikilove · January 2020

Happy Monday, beautiful people!

I never did get fully caught up last week so trying to be more involved this week. I miss y’all when I can’t keep up!❤️

@inthewoods23 Hoping all went swimmingly well for you this morning!

@bows22 Prayers that the procedure goes perfectly tomorrow. Been thinking of you & hoping you’re feeling excited to find answers instead of nervous. (I think you maybe asked me last week, but Yes, my procedure got postponed until next cycle so we are no longer buddies this month. *At least not that kind!)

@bluetickgal So glad to hear everything’s going well for you! And love your GTKY question this week.🥰

@mvt2003 I hope YH is feeling really well-informed and clearly understand what you’ll be putting your body through. Also, FX so hard that your insurance finally stops giving you the run-around. What a drag it’s been!

@kpearse99 I’m so sorry about the bfn♥️. You’re right to continue the progesterone until beta. I really really
hope the Clomid does the trick for you next cycle! And in an effort to boost your usual positivity: remember that you did have somewhat recent success—even if it was fleeting. That’s a good sign that things are in working order & are bound to go fully well soon.😘

@emeraldduchess Sorry for the confusing cycle, those are the worst. And sorry that 2019 wasn’t the kindest to you, but hooray for 2020 & hopefully an infinitely better year!🤞🏽

@kiki047 Always a pleasure to see you posting!☺️ Glad to hear things are going so well. Very cool that you’ve found a teletherapist that you click with.💕 FX so hard that Thursday brings excellent news!

Diagnosis (if you've been): RPL, High Natural Killer Cell count & activity, several blood-clotting & autoimmune disorders, AMA, DOR.

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): We did another natural cycle. This past cycle was a whirlwind of being nervous about a hysteroscopy that ended up being postponed, then scheduling IUI#5 that got cancelled because I ovulated early, 2 days before the appointment & couldn’t be squeezed in earlier due to the holidays. So hoping our good ol’ HIO sessions at home were enough!

How are things going?: Just fine. I love the new year so I’m feeling great about all the work we’ve done to create concrete plans for fitness and financial health, etc. Feeling ok about this TWW: this week is packed with meetings & deadlines so hoping that will help it fly by.

Any questions?: Not today

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019? From TTGP, I still laugh at the memory of being called “Hocus Pocus b*tches”. That was the best!😆 2019 was very hard in regards to TTC but I achieved major milestones in my career so that is a great memory of accomplishment.

inthewoods23 · January 2020

@keikilove oohhh we need to make a GTKY thread for favorite TTGP moments! I think we'd have some hilarious results. Cuz mine is your confession about using the large needle meant for only drawing up solution instead of the smaller needles for your injections 😱😆

Or the GTKY talking about sex with our husbands. Oh man that one was so many laughs! 🤣

mvt2003 · January 2020

@keikilove I second @inthewoods23 about Favorite TTGP moments! I literally thought of you on Friday night during our shot training videos! We're not doing PIO as of right now, but the thought of you doing the shot with the larger needle haunts me

keikilove · January 2020

@inthewoods23 I just burst out laughing SO hard!🤣🤣🤣 I had to do an injection last night & was smiling about your post where you suggested making a helpful thread for IF meds tips & tricks “but it’s kinda too late for Keikilove”. That was the best too!😄

@mvt2003 I had no idea that confession would make such an impact!🙃 Hahaha I truly hope it spared some of you the horror IRL even if it haunts your dreams.

@kiki047 I was in & out of the IF thread the week you posted an update on moving forward with VF, but I haven’t stopped thinking about how you said you have to do your shots with the huge ‘horse needle’ too. How is that even possible?!?! So many hugs to you, friend!❤️❤️

kpearse99 · January 2020

@keikilove I do try to remind myself of that as often as possible... I had success with the first IUI (although very VERY short lived) so there's nothing saying it won't happen again soon. Thanks for the needed reminder, friend! I so hope this natural cycle ends up being a magical one! It would be so amazing!

@inthewoods23 I am also on board with that GTKY thread!! There are so many to choose from though

Hocus Pocus B*tches was a highlight for sure as well as @keikilove 's needle confession!!

inthewoods23 · January 2020

@keikilove some people just learn it the hard way 😆 I think it resonated so much with us because there's a first time for all of us and yet you were going through it so much worse than the rest of us and that could easily happen to anyone!

mercury94 · January 2020

*lurking*

@kpearse99 I never used Letrozole, only Clomid, but wanted to add that I’ve been told that the max is 6 cycles of Clomid for women under 38 and 3 for women 38 and older in case that makes a difference in your plans moving forward. I really hope this switch does the trick for you.

kpearse99 · January 2020

@mercury94 thanks, friend! My RE said we could do 3-4 cycles with the Clomid. 🤞🏼

shoogapoff · January 2020

Update: I'm a go for IUI #3. We're doing some crazy high (to me) doses of meds this time. I start gonal f tomorrow and do 225 u, 225 u, 150 u, then go back for a scan. When I think that my first round with injectables was 75 u doses, 225 just sounds ridiculous. But, I am not a super good responder, so I guess I just need those high doses. Since we pay for meds out of pocket, I told MH that this is one area in which I'm not a cheap date! Clomid is like $15/ cycle, but apparently I need $1,000 of your finest shots in the stomach! 😋

I didn't get to ask about the cyst. I didn't really think it would effect this cycle since it wasn't on my ovary. I'm more thinking it could be an answer to what is going on with me, since my blockage is unexplained.

@inthewoods23 I would love a favorite TTGP moments thread! I probably wouldn't be able to attribute all of the memories to the right people, but it would still be fun!

@keikilove Hocus Pocus B's was the best! I live that we can learn to laugh at that stuff!

inthewoods23 · January 2020

@shoogapoff yay for starting the IUI!

DH just reminded me of another great moment. I was on the subject of us doing this GTKY and he's like "are you still doing the long con?" referring to the Peggy that thought I was a troll and I think it was @mvt2003 that chimed in that I couldn't possibly be a troll 😆

bows22 · January 2020

@bluetickgal thank you so much for thinking of me! I’m excited for you to test at the end of the week! The end of the TWW is such a rollercoaster for sure.

@inthewoods23 glad all went well today. I hope your results come quickly. The Peggy accusing you of being a troll and the resulting comebacks are definitely up there with the funniest TTGP moments for me, that was hilarious hahaha

@mvt2003 wild Friday night haha! But I think it’s good that you are making sure YH understands in detail what’s going to be happening. I had no idea how intense IVF was before joining TB.

@kpearse99 I’m glad there is something different planned for next cycle. I’m sorry for the BFN though. I hope maybe it was just too early. I’ll be thinking about you tomorrow ❤️

@emeraldduchess ugh I’m so sorry that your body is messing with you. That’s not fair.

@kiki047 ahh Thursday! I hope you get amazing news ❤️

@shoogapoff I’m glad your IUI is a go! Hopefully the extra meds is the kick your body needs. As for your 2019 memory, am I remembering correctly that was a coworker that you were going to ask on a friend date but she beat you to it? Or did I make that up. Regardless, that’s amazing that you met so recently and are so close.

@keikilove it’s funny that you say that about being excited versus nervous because that’s exactly how I feel! I’m so excited to get concrete answers versus vague speculation. I hope the TWW flies by for you! I hope you never have to have your hysteroscopy!

AFM - Hysteroscopy is at 1:30 tomorrow. Trying to figure out how I’m going to go that long without eating, but I suppose I’ll survive 🙂. I’m being put under so I have no idea how I’ll feel after but I’ll update when I can!

inthewoods23 · January 2020

@bows22 good luck tomorrow! You should at least be able to drink water which can help keep you from feeling hungry. My procedure had been scheduled for 12:30 so I totally understand the feeling about not being able to eat all the morning

bows22 · January 2020

@inthewoods23 thank you! yes I can drink water! And Gatorade, apple juice, black tea, black coffee. I was surprised there were so many options. But only until 10:30. I have to be there at 11:30 so the nerves will probably start creeping in at that point which should keep the hunger at bay.

emeraldduchess · January 2020

@bows22 good luck today! 💜
@mvt2003 I'm glad your DH is understanding just how intense the IVF process is. We aren't at that point yet, but I did give DH a quick summary of what it involves and he definitely seemed overwhelmed.
@keikilove how could I forget about Hocus Pocus Betches?? 🤣
@kpearse99 I am so sorry about the BFN. 💙
@shoogapoff damn, girl. That's a lot of meds! FX it does the trick! LoL at "finest shots".
@inthewoods23 LOL at that Office gif. I love it so much. DH and I binged on that show every night during school vacation. I can't believe I didn't watch it when it was on. I'm glad things went well yesterday and I hope you get your results soon!

kpearse99 · January 2020

@shoogapoff so glad you can do the third IUI!!!

@bows22 I’ll be thinking about you all day, friend!! ♥️♥️♥️

I had a weird dream last night about all of us! We were all fish (🤷🏻‍♀️🐡🐠) and we were protecting our water from being invaded. It was probably sparked by yesterday’s drive by Peggy 😂 but @mercury94, @ruby696, @mokay19 and a few others came by to help protect us! And then we all swam off together 😂 so weird!! Anyway, the last time I dreamed about TB group someone moved on from here so I’m hoping that’s the case this time too!!

emeraldduchess · January 2020

@kpearse99 that's too funny!

bluetickgal · January 2020

@inthewoods23 so glad the procedure went well yesterday and you should get results in a couple weeks! Hope that time flies by and you get great results! I love the idea of a favorite TTGP GTKY...so many good ones have already been mentioned!

@mvt2003 that’s good you were able to watch the videos together so you both know what all is involved in the process! Hope you got good news about your prescriptions being covered yesterday!!

@kpearse99 so sorry for the BFN, but I hope you get better news today!! Oh my goodness, that dream is awesome! 😂 I hope several fish get to move on very soon and that you are one of them!!

@emeraldduchess so sorry for the confusion this cycle!! I hope you get some clarity soon, and That the shenanigan-full cycle leads to wonderful news!!
@kiki047 yes, the holidays were brutal!! I hope you get a wonderful surprise and this natural cycle is a success! Hope your appt goes well on Thursday and you get great news about your PGT results!

@shoogapoff ah, thanks friend! So glad you are a go for IUI #3! That does sound like quite the increase, but hopefully it is exactly what you need!

@keikilove thanks lady! I know none of us had the best 2019 TTC related (since we are all still here), but I was hoping we could each think of something positive from the year! I’m hoping this natural cycle is a success for you!!

@bows22 thanks friend!! Sending you more positive vibes since today is actually the day! I hope it’s not too difficult with not being able to eat most of the day..that’s good you at least have some different options of things to drink though! Praying all goes well!

emeraldduchess · January 2020

@kiki047 we've missed you! I will definitely check out that Miss. Conception you mentioned. FX that all goes well on Thursday!
@bluetickgal glad the TWW crazy seems to be staying away! So far so good for me (except for the stupid bbt stuff). But I know that next week is when I'll be all over the place emotionally. Totally get that see-saw feeling.

flowntheloop · January 2020

Diagnosis (if you've been): Waiting on my period to begin testing. Had my first RE appointment yesterday.

Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): TWW

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Testing begins when my next cycle starts.

How are things going?: It has been a pretty rough year. I took a break from the forums here as things got pretty intense (emotionally). We have had no luck in conceiving (likely multiple CPs), so we had our first RE appointment yesterday. My doctor seemed hopeful despite the possible CPs. I'm waiting on this period to start so I can start my fertility testing, but she is being a vile witch and toying with my emotions by being a little late and presenting with weird symptoms. Just trying to stay sane at this point.

Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/tlmYrzj5Are7e/giphy.gif

Any questions?: not at the moment.

GTKY: What was your favorite memory from 2019?
Having a new mushroom species I discovered named after my town.

feather_heather · January 2020

Officially not pregnant. My blood test was negative (as expected). I told the PA I wanted to speak with my doctor about doing an ERA, the risks of PGS testing our frozen embryos, and transferring more than one embryo. My insurance won't cover another egg retrieval until I go thru the 7 frozen embryos I have left, and I cannot handle another year and a half of heartbreak going thru them one by one.

kpearse99 · January 2020

@flowntheloop Hi Friend!!!!!!!!! I have missed you!! Although, I am sad that you have found yourself back here and I am so deeply sorry for all of the CP's you've gone through this past year. I am glad you have met with a RE and are getting some help. It's good that she's hopeful

@feather_heather

I am so sorry, love. My heart aches for yours, for everything you're going through this week. I think it's good that you want to talk to your doctor about those things and I hope they are things you can do.

inthewoods23 · January 2020

@flowntheloop welcome back! Although under sad circumstances. I hope you find the answers you're looking for!

@feather_heather sorry for the negative beta. Sounds like an overwhelming amount to discuss but I like the path you are taking.

bluetickgal · January 2020

@flowntheloop welcome back! So sorry for such a tough year!! I’m glad you’ve met with an RE, and I hope the testing will give you some clarity and hope for the year to come!

@feather_heather I’m so very sorry, friend!! Sending you all the hugs, you have had such a tough week already! 💜 I hope you can get some answers from your RE about how to proceed in the best way for you!

mvt2003 · January 2020

@feather_heather I'm so so sorry, friend. I think your discussion points make so much sense. I'm sending you

@flowntheloop welcome back, although not under great circumstances! Hopefully testing gives you some clarity and a path to move forward!

@bluetickgal still in RX limbo, unfortunately! My nurse submitted them to the online pharmacy and we're kind of just waiting to see if they get approved. My progesterone (the only non-injectable) was approved right away so feeling anxious about it still!

kpearse99 · January 2020

Confirmed negative beta test for me. It's okay, I'm okay. Honestly, I had a brief moment of panic while working out on my lunch break thinking of how "what if this was another CP?" The thought came out of no where and really stuck with me! So I was a little relieved to hear it was negative (which I already knew it was going to be) instead of the other type of bad news.

The treatment didn't work, YET and I am not pregnant, YET but that doesn't mean that it won't happen soon for us.

shoogapoff · January 2020

@bows22 Yes! Same person! Wow. Great memory! It has been really crazy. I don't make friends easily, and we've clicked on a lot of levels, including IF, actually. I don't know if I ever mentioned it here, but she and her husband have been TTC for 6 years, and have had some losses. Not something you want to bond over, but I think it's a big part of why we're such fast friends.

shoogapoff · January 2020

@flowntheloop Okay, the mushroom thing sounds awesome!
