Hang in there, give yourself grace and ask others to do the same with you. Your hormones are going to be altered, but it’s temporary so just try to find some things to give you joy. I scheduled a massage but do whatever you need to take care of you. ❤️

I’m on my second round in the two week wait right now. I hate how I feel on the meds but hoping it’ll worth it, I know it works for a good chunk of people.

Not great tbh. I cried every day, was very sad and would get annoyed very easily. First couple days weren’t too bad, it’s the second half and it lingers in your body a few days after you stop taking.

Few things are less sexy than timed sex, so do whatever you need to do to help yourself relax! My doctor signed off on moderate drinking, so my husband and I would have some wine or cocktails beforehand like a normal date night at home.

Hang in there! Timed intercourse can work. I got pregnant after 4 rounds of timed intercourse.

I am on my third IUI and it didn’t work... have been trying for 1.5 years and we are unexplained. I am not sure whether to continue with IUI or go through IVF route... Anyone in a similar situation, can you share what did you do and why you chose one vs another option?

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?

I had a surgery for ectopic pregnancy about two weeks ago and I’m still insanely tired. To add before the surgery, I was given one dose of methotrexate and my hemoglobin tanked from 13.8 to 10.8 between the first blood test ( May 1st week) and the last ( June 1st week). I think my tiredness is cause by a mix of low hemoglobin, methotrexate, and surgery. Any advice on how to get my energy back would be appreciated.

Hi friends here… how long would you wait between FET cycles? I had a miscarriage (a few weeks only) in May from the FET, and my doctor said I could start a new FET cycle now that I have my period. I’ve been on Thyroid meds but they don’t monitor my TSH (unless I ask it to be checked). The doctor says no need to wait unless I want a mental break. I don’t need a mental break but wonder if I’m rushing when my body is not ready. Just confused… thanks all!
