Week of August 12

What do you have going on this week?

TWW over here. Last week I started working part time, so that’s keeping me busy. My IUI was Friday and I was so uncomfortable Thursday through Saturday. Is that normal when using letrozole and a trigger shot? I never felt that way with the clomid. Friday and Saturday it was uncomfortable to walk, I’m guessing it was pain from my ovaries. Is that crazy?

Yes! It’s uncomfortable to walk for sure! Totally normal!

I’m at the most beautiful lake with DH! Our last minute trip totally worked out!! It feels so good to get away from everything. We have nothing ttc related for now. Just enjoying the moment!

Good to know! I wonder why I didn’t feel like this on clomid? They aren’t that different I thought?!

And your photo is beautiful- the hills in the distance!! Where are you?

Nothing going on over here

Meeting with my ob this week to discuss the immunology results. It was supposed to be yesterday, but they called and said he was going to surgery imminently and had to reschedule for later this week. It worked out fine because I got stuck in my own clinic at work and would have been late.

I still got nothing. And I'm getting more and more frustrated. My clinic keeps saying I need a D&C since we've tried to force a cycle 3 times. 1st time nothing, 2nd time lining to thick and 3rd never showed. I don't really think that's the answer though as I had a laprascopy/hysteroscopy in May. I am tempted however to do 5 days of PIO since I know that's forced a cycle in the past and has worked for a lot of others. I just feel like I'm never going to make it to my final FET.

Ivf education appointment tomorrow.

This week is vacation/staycation. Yesterday we went to the big amusement park in Ohio. Today is chill day (h has to do some oil changes and such). Tomorrow ivf education appointment and then not sure. We are trying to do an aerial course with ropes and zip lines but it looks like tomorrow is booked for it so we will probably go Thursday. And we have to get ready for our camping weekend.

I slept in til 9 today. I can't tell you how long it has been since I slept in that late. And I had no night time interruptions of my dog waking me up

I'm still waiting for my body to register the loss and start the process. I am trying to avoid meds. Last time things had started by now and my HCG didn't get as high this time so I have I'd love to know WTF my body is doing. I went for another blood draw at lunch to make sure the HCG is falling ok. So I guess we'll know more in the morning. At that point it will have been a week since I found out about the drop so I'll probably call my OB and see what he suggests.

I went to a rage room with my BFFs on Saturday. That was pretty cathartic. My thumb muscles are still kind of weak/sore.

[ilovecandy]

I am thinking about going on meds for my depression/anxiety. I am waiting to hear back from my ivf clinic about it. But does anyone here have any ancesotes about this?

I finally went on meds after resisting for a long time. I was basically suicidal after my 4th loss and there is no end in sight. Every specialist we have seen has encouraged the medication. There’s no use being miserable. I’m 6 weeks in to 50mg of Zoloft and I feel a lot more stable even though the situation is still awful.

Thank you both for discussing your experiences with this.  It gave me the courage to seek the same in hopes of feeling better.

[achi]

Thank you to everyone for sharing your stories. I am not in a good place right now and I went off the rails really really badly at H last night for something that is at the end of the day, really minor and was easily rectified in under 5 minutes.

I've reached out to a therapist that specialized in infertility and made an appointment.

[moonriver]

I’m spotting. 7dpiui. Again.

I'm sorry moonriver.

[VacayVaca]

I'm so sorry moonriver
