I was gonna leave this subreddit because I finally got pregnant!! But then I go to the obgyn and my baby stopped growing, has no heart beat, and now I have to wait to miscarry or take meds/have surgery. Welp. Welcome back to this subreddit for me I guess 😭🤪🙃

Started on the premium shit, now taking whatever is on special. But at least my nails are strong??

🙃

FET went poorly, my period is kicking my butt, and I swear I've walked in the same circle between rooms a dozen or so times today. My dogs are concerned

As I think about doing IVF next year, my coworkers won’t shut up about their kids. 🫪Like omg my kid is doing this milestone and it’s my kids first of of whatever grade is school. It’s nonstop. 🙄I just want to say shut the f up, but no got to be professional. I get people are excited about their kids but like at the same time do they have no personality besides talking about their damn kids. Also I’m on my period so extra salty today. 🫩

I've been at this for six years. We had one miscarriage after a successful first IUI and no obvious reason why I can't get pregnant. During initial imaging, they found bilateral dermoids. I was told to monitor them and plan on having them removed after a successful pregnancy.

Now at a check up a few weeks ago, I get the news that my dermoids have doubled in size (the largest is 14 cm) and need to be removed, but recovery would interfere with a long planned trip to Disneyland. The doctor says that they can wait until after my trip for surgery, but I can't ride on intense rides. When I asked what she would consider intense, she said, "Check their expectant mother advisory," which is basically everything.

So now I'm going on a trip that we have saved for ages to go on and I can't even do anything because I have to treat myself as though I'm pregnant, all without the bright side of looking forward to a baby afterward AND the door is slamming on whatever hope I had left. Fuck you, Infertility, this has been the cruelest fucking gut punch.

She doesn’t know that we’ve been ttc for a year and are having fertility investigations. She DOES know that our other friend has recently had an ectopic and obviously lost her baby. Could you be more unhinged to make that comment??

First off, You are very Blessed. Anyways “blah blah blah”

Why are so many doctors incapable of a tiny crumb of empathy

I’m assuming the absolute anxiety of abruptly losing my job after just starting infertility treatment just weeks prior cut off the surge. Amazing! “We shouldn’t try until you have a new job.” It’s only been 18 fecking months! What’s ONE MORE?!!

Is this a joke ???

They had a flood in the suite they use for procedures a week or so ago and apparently the contractors did spackling or something last night. EVERYTHING was wrapped in plastic and they could barely find anything. They literally had to get scissors to cut open the cabinet they keep the gowns in.

Thankfully the actual procedure room and lab was untouched.

And all this after 5 other emails this month congratulating my various coworkers on their births

😩😩😩

I was talking to a coworker about how we finally have our date to start IVF, and she was like “oh by the way, I’m pregnant! Us talking about IVF before must have manifested it for me!”

Too bad I couldn’t manifest it for myself ffs

how the fuck does anyone not see how insensitive this is?????

Two HSGs, an SIS and too many blood draws to count later, we’re on our second medicated cycle (clomid + Ovidrel) with TI and moving on to IUI next cycle if we’re unsuccessful in this one.
The one glimmer is that we just found out that in January have only a 25% copay for fertility treatments now! Backstory: our 2nd month TTC, my husband was laid off from his job. After a lot of consideration, we decided to keep TTC since my income was enough to sustain us, and we figured he would have another job within nine months of whenever we finally conceived (😂 to wishful thinking!). We live in North Carolina and generally North Carolina based insurance plans have no coverage for fertility treatments, so when he landed a new job in February, we didn’t even really think to look into his new insurance. Turns out, his insurance company through his new job is actually based in Maryland who has great coverage for fertility related medical costs, so during open enrollment this year I’ll be moving to his insurance! Still sucks but more IUIs and IVF are true possibilities financially for us now and that’s something! ✨

50% is the best I can hope for at my age. Then I heard from an IVF friend that her % was actually 25% while 5 years younger than me 😭 we sent out the same number of blasts, too...

And ofc my husband forgot to sign consent forms until they cc'ed me on them so who knows when we'll get the actual results.
