Greetings ladies, I am an old member of this forum just checking up on you all. Infertility journey can be tasking but I pray that in ends in praise for you all like it did for me and other mama's in this forum. Keep doing what you are doing diligently while making sure you do your own research. Infact go for consultations with enough knowledge like a doctor to ensure that you understand what the doctor is aiming for and give proposals as well if necessary. I highly recommend endometrial scratch in your cycles. I did 5 IVF cycles and the only difference I made in the last two cycles that worked is doing an endometrial scratch and taking prednisone. Someone from this forum recommended it to me and I will say it worked because after 3failures, the change gave me 2 successes. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you All the best ladies, you got this. |
Married for 9years now and still bearing my father's name. I did not change my name and never would. |
I almost thought u were describing my brother. Sad u have one of "this" in ur family. They never change and are usually a bone in their parents throat. Like your mom, my mom always make the silly excuses of "he's your brother " bla bla bla, and no your mom is not promoting his behavior, mothers just have a different bond with their kids irrespective of their age and I'm sure ur mothers greatest heart desire and prayers is for him to change. For our parents sanity, my siblings and I contributed and rented an apartment for a year for my wayward brother and his baby mama just so my parents could get a break from him being in their face in their house and causing havoc everytime. U see the silent attitude u are giving him, it's the best for ur own sanity. However, just as u did, never keep quiet when u see an obvious theft. Sad news is that they never change. My brother is now 41 and no single bit of responsible behavior in him. Courage my dear. Just focus on u. |
ellaV:Lol � � � from pastor to where? The confusion is real indeed |
Richy4:She's determined to blame someone else instead of the husband with the problems. Why did the pastor who saw the mom in the marine kingdom not break the chain? Gullible pastor followers. Read ur Bible madam and stop blaming others over u and ur husband's predicaments. |
EndRape2:I concur. This husband is very manipulative and heartless. Any man with such degree of anger in him is not worth living with. The woman needs to stop the begging and let him do his worst. Divorcing may even be better for the lady's sanity. This so called kind man is a beast and has no business in marriage. |
chatinent:Thank you for this detailed digestion of his stupidity. How can a man be this gullible? Poor woman thinking she has a husband not knowing he's an *ewu* |
Tutu82:U are very right, all our stories are unique. However, I responded based on what the op wrote. They have not gotten to the point of thawing and the embryos fail to survive. The clinic just wants her to dive into a fresh cycle which makes absolutely no sense since she has frozen embryos. I'll personally be skeptical about the clinic. U however made a valid assumption about the Dr's knowing more. So u are right, if the Dr knows more as to why they should abandon the frozen and move on to a fresh cycle, then let him explain clearly to the lady and not give the vague point of fresh is better than frozen. All in all I hope and pray the op is able to get a successful cycle be it fresh or frozen. |
Blessgerald:They would not have been frozen if they were not good enough. I had a baby from a day 6blastocyst frozen embryo transfer. That is the embryo became a blastocyst on the 6th day and not the 5th day and was frozen and it's transfer was successful. Use up ur frozen Embryos and God will definitely bless u. Don't dive into a fresh when u have Embryos waiting for u. |
Blessgerald:Did you take an antibiotic before your transfer? It's supposed to be part of the process to prevent infections like this. Make sure u are prescribed and antibiotic in ur next cycle. I took an antibiotic for 5days prior to my transfer. Also ur clinic just wants to drain u of ur money. Frozen cycle is as good as a fresh and may be even better. I am a 2time successful FET candidate and u can proceed with ur frozen embryo transfer as soon as u are cleared of the infection. U don't have to wait 3 months. |
wonyi:Thanks sis! It was a FET so less demanding than a fresh Transfer. Fewer injections(progesterone only every 3rd day) and meds. During my TWW DH was on leave and incharge of the baby so I didn't have to worry about chasing her around. U know how busy they are at this stage. On a normal day she's a daddies girl and I'm only an option to her when daddy is absent � so she was fine with daddy viaout my 2ww. |
MummyNeto:-Warm feet very important. It was extremely warm here but I wore socks until my bfp. -I also divided a pineapple core ( the hard middle part of a pineapple) into 5 parts and ate one each day from the day before my transfer. No bed rest. Be a little active but don't over work urself. Being active increases blood flow to the uterus. I also ate a pomegranate on the day of transfer and the day after. Laugh alot. Watch comedy shows or be around people who make u happy. No stress needed at this time of ur life. I don't know if the above points helped but it gave me peace of mind that I was actually doing something and it was a success so why not? All the best my dear. |
PositiveLady1:My clinic added it to my protocol. So the fertility clinic actually prescribed it. |
chigirl45:I didn't do a myomectomy. My fibroids are too many for any form of surgery. A surgery for me will cause more harm than good. They are not big though, they usually only grow bigger in the early days if my pregnancy. I did not cycle in Nigeria. |
PositiveLady1:I started taking the prednisone on the same day I started my medications and I'll be on it until about 10weeks of pregnancy. I take 10mg daily with 1 low dose Aspirin. |
[quote author=Agumbawife post=103889644][/quote]Sorry I didn't cycle in Nigeria. I took monthly Lupton shots for 3 months prior to my FET and had the endometrial scratch one week after my last Lupton shot. That's Approximately 2 weeks to the start of my medications. |
flawlesskayc:The endometrial scratch is for everyone going via IVF bc it makes the uterus more receptive to implantation. Sorry I can't explain how the endometrial scratch achieves it's purpose but it creates a more receptive uterus for implantation. The prednisone helps in suppressing natural killer cells for people with endometriosis, adenomiosis or anyone who's diagnosis makes them prone to having natural killer cells in the uterus. It also increases blood flow to the uterus alongside low dose Aspirin(81mg). |
Hello everyone, it's been long I followed up this thread but I use to be a committed member and got alot of help from here. I just want to encourage you all and chip in my 2 cents of what I think made the difference for me. An advice I got from someone in this forum that changed my story I believe. I am an IVF veteran I'll say after having gone via 7rounds of IVF(FET inclusive), what else can I call myself? Thank goodness the journey ended in praise. I got my BFP from a FET transfer 4weeks ago so baby no 2 on the way. Had my daughter from a successful cycle in 2018. NOW TO WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE IN MY LAST 2 SUCCESSFUL CYCLE Sisters pls and pls make sure you do an endometrial scratch and take prednisone during ur cycle. I had tried every thing until someone from here told me not to attempt any cycle without an ENDOMETRIAL SCRATCH and PREDNISONE. I followed the advice and my last 2 cycles have been successful. NB: My pelvic is messed up, I have stage 4 endometriosis, had a hydrosalpinx that led to the removal of one of my tubes. I have multiple fibroids and my ovaries have numerous endometromas etc. Infact I thought I was never going to have a child but here am I looking forward to baby no 2. I've ever only transferred 1 embryo every time. I wish u all success and pray God takes us all out of the waiting room My testimony is just to encourage u all that it's not over until it's over. |
Beautifulsenora:I had a similar situation and still do(worst now bc both of my ovaries have multiple cyst and are behind my uterus). One of my ovaries was hiding behind my uterus during my IVF cycle and the Dr told me there was going to be a challenge(if at all it was going to be possible) getting eggs from the particular ovary. However, on the day of my retrieval, a nurse pressed very hard on my tummy(it hurt a little) and with the guidance of an ultrasound they were able to get a couple of eggs from the hidden ovary. So if the uterus doesn't give way once the ovaries are stimulated, in my case pressing on my tummy helped in moving the ovary a little forward for egg retrieval. Ur Dr could try this and hopefully it works out well for u. Good luck my dear |
Na wah oh. Last last wuna go the alright. Goodluck! |
It took us 5 years to conceive after marriage and I had to do IVF. Shocking thing is that I got pregnant for hubby a month after we started dating but lost it. No abortion or anything to get rid of it, it passed on its own and we were very excited it passed because we were not yet married then. When we finally got married, where pregnancy? 1year,2year,3yr, and 4 years no baby. Then the 5th year with fertility treatment we got pregnant. We actually started fertility treatment in the 2nd year and only succeeded in our 5th year of marriage after 5 rounds of IVF treatment. U see this baby thing, it has no formula. Just develop a thick skin for whatever people say and focus on enjoying ur marriage while TTC. Womb watchers start watching for pregnancy the next day after your wedding so u can never please them. Courage my dear, I pray u don't have to wait for too long and hope u and hubby are best buddies. |
KanwuliaExtra:I bet u are not married yet. |
Redrosely:No matter how much we love our kids, our happiness too counts. Infact it'll be hard to give ur kids the best if u are not happy. Don't mind all the daddy talk, it wouldn't kill them. Last last they'll come to terms with his absence. U are not married, forget that man. Live like he doesn't exist. Don't call or pick up his calls. Calling or answering his calls is kind of giving him room to continuously disrespect and torment u. Good thing is that u are working and can cater for ur self. Forget his existence and focus on u. If he ever takes out the time to travel to u to make amends, use the opportunity and bring about changes. Give conditions and be firm abt them. Infact be ready to leave the marriage if he doesn't follow the rules(reasonable ones of course like him coming home more often). Marriage is not a do or die affair. It's not worth living in an abusive (yes u are being abused) marriage all because of your kids. They may be ur offsprings but u don't owe them ur life. Besides, where is the dad in their life now that u are in.the marriage? Quit the marriage if nothing improves. |
Cameroon nova see anything yet. The sins of all the bloodshed by these french people who call themselves la republique du cameroon(lrc) di catch up with them. Ambazonian their blood no fit let them win anything anywhere. Lrc go continue to crumble and fail in all aspect. Shege! |
grandlexuz:Ashia my brother from another mother. Ur wife huh mmmm, no comment. Quick recovery papa. |
In this time and age who says " autistic and disabled" people. Identifying someone by their health condition/situation. Pls kindly edit your topic to "People with autism and disability". They should come first, n they are individuals who have a condition. Identify then as say "Ike" and not " autistic Ike". Thank you |
MiddleSpot:Good question! |
truthsayer009:Facebook! We chatted everyday for 5 months without ever meeting each other. Random friend request from him. And we got married 2 months, yes 2 months after our first meeting. Almost 6yrs together now and waxing strong. Never a dull moment together. Not saying we are perfect, just happy together. I guess love happens when it happen because I don't know y Me of all people accepted a facebook friend request from a total stranger. |
QueenSekxy:My dear, I am exactly like u, and now that I'm married, I sometimes have issues with hubby because he is a peoples person. We'll get invited and I will not want to go because I don't want to meet anybody. When hubby even succeed in convincing me to come along, I want us to return almost as soon as we get there. Worst part is I'll exchange no with people because they ask but when they are calling me, I feel like they are irritating, sometimes I don't pick and I never call back. At work, I am just in my room. I don't go to the staff room at lunch because I don't want to meet people. I can go on and on but what I know is that to me, I need my space every time. My only interesting person whom I don't get bored chatting with is my husband. It's not the best way of life but interestingly I'm enjoying my life this way. Maybe it's just our own way of life. Atleast we are not hurting anyone are we? Don't worry my dear, if u can change then fine but if u cant, no worries, U are good the way you are. We are all unique. |
finecheek12:Sorry for your loss my dear, I've been via this pain before. Unfortunately sometimes it can even take up to a month for your body to realize the baby is dead. Ask you dr to prescribe meds (misopristol I think) which u can insert vaginally to cause contraction and miscarriage. That's what I did after waiting for close to 2 weeks and no bleeding. I can imagin ur disappointment. Don't worry dear; u will have another. Most missed miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities. It was hell when I experienced it but to the glory of God I'm pregnant today and everything good so far. Good luck |
MrsEnny:I'm smiling because this was me exactly a few weeks ago. All my symptoms vanished for a week. I knew it had ended but guess what, baby is right here dancing the last time I saw him/her lol. Ur symptoms will return my dear, its hard not to worry. Even right now, I have on and off days. Some days I don't feel pregnant at all and other days are terrible. Enjoy the symptom free moment. Take this from someone who almost went mad due to symptoms disappearance. I actually concluded that it was over but look at me now, everything is fine. |
hope43:Mmmmm I've never heard of such a protocol oh. And the dr should know well enough to tell u to either cancel ur cycle or convert to iui based on ur tubes if only 2 follicles are developing. Stim, stop and wait for collection after a few days sounds crazy l. Whatever his motives are doesnt make sense, my dear, don't waste ur money. Follow ur instincts and cancel, the protocol doesnt sound right, not at all. Good luck |
