I had a baby in 2022 thru timed intercourse with letrozole, shot of ovidrel and progesterone. Attempting this again (I’m now 39) and in the dreaded 2 week window. Blood test is Monday, and I took a test today and it’s negative. I want to tell myself I took it too early, but wanted to get some outside opinions. I think the first time I did this my expectations were so low I wasn’t so anxious. This time sucks. I feel like my time is running out and I’m anxious AF. Why is it worse this time around.

I would say don’t count yourself out until the blood test. Also wanted to share that I feel the same way...and am basically in the same position. My first baby was letrozole and TI, got pregnant the first cycle. I’m now on cycle three of letrozole, ovidrel, and TI trying for baby 2. Maybe it’s that I’m two years older or last time we were just really lucky. I was shocked that it worked so quickly last time that every cycle it doesn’t happen now is just so disappointing. You are not alone. This journey is a rough one.

Good call. I’m the exact same with the issues. I just don’t know if I can afford IVF. May just be this a few times then be very thankful it worked for me in the past

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Starting with our very first IVF cycle this week and kinda nervous 🤞
Nurse says retrieval to happen tentatively around 18th Dec but then transfer can take place in early February too considering genetic testing takes weeks. Is this the norm? Just fearing the team is not unnecessarily delaying things owing to holiday break.

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature. This is my third cycle and I’ve been pretty positive up until today. It’s especially hard to get this news in the middle of a work day. Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.
