Vent Friend complaining about pregnancy

• Upvotes

I have been TTC for 3 years officially and unofficially like 6, my husband and I never used protection. We have 3 losses under our belts the most recent last week.

My best friend knows this and has a 9 month old and is in her second trimester with her second and shes been constantly complaining about her child and pregnancy. And I've been there for her but I'm just at a point right now where I cant.

She knows about the recent loss, I did gently tell her I mentally cant handle the venting right now and i a pretty sure she forgot.

I'm not like extremely mad at her and shes not a horrible person I'm just frustrated and really sad especially tracking this cycle to make sure the Letrozol worked and I get my period even if its later than usual. It also doesnt help that theres 3 women pregnant in my church and one of them was a few weeks ahead of me and I'm just.. not expecting my baby on mother day anymore and kinda wanna sleep and not wake up again.

Caveat: I am slightly depressed but won't ever do anything I love my husband and my life, I have a great support system so please dont read into the sleeping forever thing. Its just how I feel right now.

Sad So tired of not ovulating

3 Upvotes

Just a vent, I guess but always would love to hear other people success stories and vents as well.
My insurance doesn’t cover anything fertility, including letrazole.
My husband and I both agreed to wait at least another year and a half before committing to spending thousands on treatment.
I do ovulate 3-6 times a year (usually 4) and the lack of chances we get is devastating me.
I’m now on month 4 with only one ovulation, we timed everything perfect and still a no go.
Yet everyone around me is becoming a mom, even though I’m the one who has wanted this the most/longest.
I’m ready for my announcement, but I’m sure even when the day comes, I’m so traumatized by this process that I won’t be able to be truly happy until my baby is actually here.

Cervical mucus, but no positive LH

2 Upvotes

My last cycle was the first time tracking, I had a classic cycle with cervical mucus(that I only checked the day after ovulation so I couldn’t know for sure) and a positive LH strip, and a good progesterone blood test a week later.

I get between 3 to 6 periods a year.

I have had egg white cervical mucus for the last six days, most notably the last three days I have found a lot. However, my LH is still nowhere near ovulating.

When I got my estrogen test tested, it came back completely normal a few months ago.

How long do you see cervical mucus before you ovulate

Advice Needed Letrozole and trigger shot

1 Upvotes

Hey, im new to the group, ill preface this by saying I dont have PCOS, my wife does and her and i are currently trying to conceive. We are working with Shady Grove Fertility in Eastern Pennsylvania, we love them so far but they are recommending timed intercourse with Letrozole and a trigger but the price per round is a thousand dollars which we don't have. We are looking into just seeing if she can do letrozole and no trigger as the biggest barrier with conception at this time is the lack of ovulation. Any advice and thought are greatly appreciated thank you!

Advice Needed First FET for IVF and clinic is insisting on Assisted Hatching

1 Upvotes

I'm really struggling with whether trying to argue with my fertility team about AH is worth it. I'm 27 (turning 28 in a few weeks) and am hoping to undergo my first round of FET soon. I went through 6 failed rounds of IUI.

My issue is that I received my treatment plan and assisted hatching is on it but I don't see it as necessary at the current time. I've done the research and read multiple studies and reports that indicate that there is no sufficient evidence on the performance of AH. Additionally, my insurance did deny coverage of AH because of this lack of evidence so I would be covering it out of pocket. Affording it isn't the issue but the out-of-pocket cost did play a factor in my research and decision.

With this being my first FET and my age, I don't believe its necessary but my clinic is being very insistent about it. I have 15 embryos and am willing to take the risk of failure.

The advice I need is, should I just give in and go along with the AH? What has been your experience with AH? Did you chose not to do AH and later regret that choice?

Advice Needed Advice needed- no ovulation

1 Upvotes

I started Ovasitol in July for high testosterone. I just got it rechecked and it had dropped to 44 from 65. I used Provera in September to induce a period and now currently cycle day 27 with no signs of ovulation. I’ve been on Ovasitol for 3 months. Should I continue? Add metformin? I’m just shocked I haven’t ovulated by now. Any advice?
