I know this is mainly about fertility but I am not sure where else to ask this question. I want to get off my birth control but terrified that I will break out with my acne. Anyone have any experience with this getting off birth control/have any advice?

Start with b12, magnesium and zinc supplements about a month before you quit your birth control pill. It helps bring your natural levels into balance because the birth control has depleted them. Then it depends on whether you are prone to acne. I was.. I had acne pre birth control and then once I quit I broke out with a vengeance. It started 4 months after I quit, peaked at 8 months and by about a year.. my natural balance had been restored and I had no acne! Not even like I had pre birth control. By 1.5 years the acne scars also faded and at the 2 yr mark I had beautiful and happy skin without needing too much attention!

Also if you are not angling for pregnancy, a dermatologist/ endocrinologist can recommend acne controlling medications. Another avenue is to go to an endocrinologist to ensure all your hormones are all balanced. If they are then you will have less of a chance of acne outbreak. But all my advice is specifically for hormonal/ cystic acne alone. There are other forms of acne which I do not know much about.

First IUI cycle failed. 🙃 I hate everything

Retrival yesterday and they were able to retrieve 10 eggs. I had 10 follicles. So happy. I hope everything after this goes well. This is my first IVF cycle. So anxious. I am doing a fresh transfer on Monday. I hope we get at least 4 embryos. I am totally dreading the progesterone shots. Any tips on how to make it painless?

Sigh. Do you have friends or families that are just like popping out kids and getting pregnant like it's eating dinner? Dunno how they do it but man sometimes it's just difficult to hear all these good news... knowing that we should be happy but like sometimes secretly thinking like can you pace yourself.. while some of us are having a hard time just getting 1!!

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?
