Millennial couple | IVF | Severe endometriosis. 2 IUIs, 1 IVF- canceled transfer. FET 1- 11/21/2019, Due date: August 2020!

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

Last night I created a blog to chronicle our journey through infertility and IVF. Once I started, I just couldn’t stop. It’s like the words wanted to pour out of me and were just dying to get out. Maybe no one will ever read it & that’s fine. It’s for me. https://t.co/cFVd2FDLq7

@jesswilson8525 @ShimmeryBelief Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words. Never considering getting a second opinion. I’m seeing her at the 3-month mark. If I’m still dissatisfied, I’m moving on to a second opinion.

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

Anyone had a second degree tear that was not healed after 8 weeks? Still in pain and wondering if my doctor just didn’t stitch me up right and what I can do next. She prescribed me an estrogen cream and told me to just let the tissues heal but it doesn’t feel right. #childbirth

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

@ShimmeryBelief Yeah, i have another visit at 3 months. I feel like that’s long enough for me to go in pretty aggressive with her. Hopefully by then it’ll heal?

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

So my job offers really good maternity, and the idealistic side of me considered trying to fit in another retrieval b4 going back to work, with the idea that the transfer would happen down the line. Yeah,that’s not happening. My hooha feels so shredded,nothing is going up there

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

@Evies__mama Yeah it’s definitely pricey! Can you rent it for a month or so or get it second hand? Either way, hopefully it’s just a phase and she’ll start to sleep soon. Covid has made this whole pregnancy and newborn experienced really....messed up

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

@Evies__mama I’m so sorry. Are you able to afford the snoo bassinet? I know it’s pricey but we got it and we’ve found it worth the money—it helps soothe them back to sleep.

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

@Evies__mama Aww I’m so sorry. Is there anyone who can help you for a little bit so that you can get some rest?

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

So my doctor has basically stopped responding to me regarding my shredded perineum other than her advice from the last visit to let it heal. I’m so confused. Am I not a patient still? I’m really disappointed. She’s one of those “high-end” UES doctors & i paid through my teeth

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

Except it’s now 9.30am and he’s STILL WAITING! @statcare in what universe is it acceptable for you to keep a sick person standing outside for more than an hour??! And you’re charging $100 for this test too, so it’s not like we’re getting it cheap or free!

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

So my husband started running a fever last night. Given that we have a newborn at home, we thought it was imperative that he get tested for covid. @statcare is offering the rapid test and they had an 8am appt available, so my husband schlepped there early.

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

@ShimmeryBelief Yeah, it’s like the moment I gave birth and paid the fee, I wasn’t important anymore. It’s a terrible feeling. I feel really alone.

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

@ShimmeryBelief She told me to keep doing kegels. Honestly I think she’s kind of lost interest in me.

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

@jesswilson8525 You can do it! Hang in there!

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

Like in the surface I seem great. I’ve lost a ton of baby weight and I’m able to get some sleep as we got some help but I genuinely feel like a mess. I’m in pain, anxious and worried and depressed. Like seriously will I ever walk without pain ever again? #childbirth

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

Well after suffering from acute pain, I finally went in to see my obgyn again for the second time in 5 weeks. This time, she says a suture may have fallen out as my perineal tear is open and exposed and hasn’t healed. No infection thankfully

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

Like it’s just so much pain. Why is this happening? Did a suture really fall out or did she just not stitch me up right? Why are all my friends bouncing around after 1 week and I can barely even sit and move properly.

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

As if my childbirth tear isn’t already killing me, for the first time in my life I’m suffering from bad eczema flare-ups. Went to the doctor for steroids which took care of flare-up 1 last week and now it’s back. I’m utterly miserable.

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

@our_trying @tubesdontwork Don’t focus on symptoms! I was so sure my FET didn’t work that when the clinic asked if i wanted the news via email or call, I was literally like “whatever, don’t care” but the FET actually worked. Can you try to keep your mind off it by doing other things?

[IVFcouple @IFcouple]

Bad day today. I honestly feel so GUILTY having bad days because i know i have it better than most but that’s how I feel. I’m annoyed with my husband, annoyed with our help, in a ton of physical pain, worried about my baby ALL THE TIME and tired of being stuck indoors.
