Anyone else transferring in June? We transferred on 6/2, a 5AA tested embryo that was almost fully hatched!
Re: June 2022 FET's
We were supposed to transfer in June, unfortunately due to my high TSH we won’t. Once it settles back to normal levels we will transfer. I wish everyone the absolute best on your journey!
Anyone else doing Estr@diol patches? These things have been doing all sorts of weird things down there (crazy discharge, weird sensations, etc). Anyone else experience that?
What all have you done during your two week wait? I need to keep distracted!
We decided not to do any at home tests because we had a chemical pregnancy almost two years ago and that really messed with my head doing the testing early. Definitely starting to get anxious though.
@ttc3y love how you are keeping yourself busy. I work from home and am finding it really hard to concentrate this week. How did your ultrasound go? Have you heard a heart beat?
Our ultrasound went very well. We didn’t hear the heartbeat but we saw it which was just as good in our prospects of a viable pregnancy. I had a wave of maternal pride that our little miracle showed up.
We obviously still need to wait until we get our second blood test on Monday, but we're so excited about seeing a clear positive!! 😍😍
I'm so excited. We had a chemical pregnancy in 2020 and the blood work had come back 40 and then 38 so I was having some serious anxiety about getting this bloodwork done.
@ttc3y So happy for your progress. Sorry those PIO shots have been so bad for you though! What gauge needle are you using? My doctor recommended a 25g 1.5in but the pharmacy was out of them (because of COVID vaccine/boosters) and had to give me 22g which are bigger. My clinic gave me a couple 25g to try and they are sooooooo much better. With the 22g I would bleed a lot after and was pretty bruised. I've finally found another pharmacy that had 25g needles in stock and they're so much better. They're a little bit harder to push in so you just have to go slow, but I've liked them so much more! Maybe worth asking your RE or nurse about.
I've had mild symptoms off and on since starting with the transfer cycle between the estradiol and all the progesterone so now it feels like those symptoms finally mean something!
Sending you all continued positive vibes!
Yeah, I don’t think the gauge of the needle is the problem with the PIO. I tolerate the actual injection just fine. It’s the soreness that occurs 8 hours later. The worse was when I was giving the shot in my leg to give my backside a break. My whole thigh would be sore and inflamed from one injection. I couldn’t walk properly or climb stairs for a week. I’m counting down the days. The injections continue for me until the end of this month but it’s worth it.
We have a beautiful healthy 8 week embryo growing in me and we heard our little one’s heartbeat yesterday. We have graduated out of fertility and into regular OB care! :-)
I’m so happy for you @enaids! I’m going to continue to think positive healthy happy baby vibes for you with exponential HCG labs. I hope you will be able to see your baby’s heart beating at the 6 week mark. ❤️
I also don't have an issue with the needle going in. The smaller needle has definitely helped prevent the soreness and bruising I was feeling with the bigger needle after the fact.
That's amazing that you've graduated! I hope the last couple weeks of your meds goes by quickly! I know I'm ready to put this phase behind me. ❤️❤️
