IF Testing & Treatment w/o April 22

**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: It’s National Infertility Awareness Week! Anyone doing anything special to relax from all the stress of fertility stuff?

    Diagnosis (if you've been): Unexplained

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

    What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): Still waiting for CD1 🫠

    How are things going?: Based on labs my clinic was adamant that I’d ovulated…oh…15.5+ days ago now. But here we are still waiting for CD1 so we can go again. WTFAF!! I’m def not known for a long luteal phase, then again, should have known things were going too smoothly. Still, trying to get away from all the negative energy of the past few days and just focus on nourishing my body to be in the best place possible when the time comes.

    FX I can report back later this week that we’ve finally made it to a new cycle 🤞

    Any questions?: 

    GTKY: It’s National Infertility Awareness Week! Anyone doing anything special to relax from all the stress of fertility stuff? Didn’t realize that was this week! So nothing really planned. My acupuncturist did recommend adding cupping during my Monday session, and that was a nice, hurts-so-good kind of reset for me.

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

    How are things going?: We had our pre-matching meeting today and went over all our preferences, so now we are officially entering the matching phase! We’ll get updates every couple of weeks so FX we get matched quickly!

    Any questions?: Nope

    I had a massage over the weekend, though that was just coincidental timing. Luckily I haven’t been too stressed lately anyway (though I’m sure that will change if matching drags on too long)

    @britters314 (full disclosure, this Q comes from lurking in the TFAS thread) Are you able to express preferences like sex of the embryo during the matching process? If so, does that interest you at all?

    @aisleofviewtwo When I posted that I was wondering if I should have addressed this lol. No, with our agency, we can’t give preferences or choose which embryos to implant based on sex. Most of the embryos haven’t had any genetic testing anyway so if we gave a preference we’d probably be waiting a long time.

    TW other kids mentioned:

    We have two boys and they both are really hoping for a sister. It would be cool to have a girl next (and if we had chosen to adopt from foster care again we would have said we want a girl) but H and I will be happy either way.

    Diagnosis (if you've been): low Amh, APS syndrome, Amh 

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

    What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): we were supposed to do a FET this cycle but unfortunately things didn’t work out. So we are doing another medicated cycle and I added some supplements. Our insurance approved us through August to continue trying IVF

    How are things going?: I’m so exhausted with all of it right now. I’m honestly feeling like giving up on it. If we weren’t the ages we are I’d take a step back for awhile and regroup in a few months but we don’t really have the time for that. My husband and I agreed we’ve only got the emotional bandwidth for a few more tries and after that we are done. 

    Any questions?:

    @britters314 Happy either way is a great place to be!

    @charmedlifex3 I’m so sorry to hear the FET didn’t work out for this round, you’ve had more than your fair share of setbacks. However you end up choosing to proceed in the months ahead, it sounds like you and your husband are on the same page, and I hope that helps you find the resolution you need 💛
