IVF 2020 Chatter

[Lunabelle]

Sorry mum42crazy that your transfer didn't work.

I found this site which released recommendations about resuming IVF treatments which may be of interest to those waiting.

https://www.asrm.org/news-and-publications/covid-19/

We have also decided to try naturally while we are waiting for IVF, which is at the same time something to look forward to and heartbreaking as I remember the agony of the dissapointment after disappointment when we were last actively trying.

Good luck for everyone and I hope you stay safe xx

Congratulations @Embies 2020 ! That's amazing

I know it's been a while since I've popped in, I really just needed time to process my feelings around our cancelled transfer and the upheaval of our lives due to COVID-19.

After much flip flopping and agonizing over the pros and cons when we learned our IVF Center was resuming procedures, my husband and I have decided to reschedule our transfer. I've had to accept that, if successful, this won't be the pregnancy that I anticipated and always dreamed of, but this virus isn't going anywhere and we can't wait forever. I'm trying not to get too excited since we saw how quickly it was all snatched away last time, but it's hard not to catch my husband's giddiness about it. I called this morning and they are currently scheduling transfers for the week of June 22. They will call back on Thursday with our schedule!

We are officially scheduled for a frozen transfer on 6/23! My husband is excited. I will be too once our embaby is on board. I can't help but think about potentially getting cancelled again, it won't allow me to get excited.

Good luck

 

[LadyVictoria]

Good luck

Thank you!

Hi ladies! Me and my husband are starting IVF this month, as I had my tubes tied 5 yrs ago after I had my 2nd baby. I can't get them reversed cause of how much was cut. So we are trying IVF for the first time. We went on Wednesday for our test results and I have eggs of a 25 year old and my husband has a lot of swimmers. My doctor put me on weight loss med for the month to help lose some weight. I have gained 19 lbs since the virus. So I need to lose the weight. I have a son(by my ex-bf) that is almost 12 years old and a 5 year old daughter(hubby's). After I had my daughter back in 2015 I was forced to have a tubal ligation cause at the time I was living with my parents and my mom didn't want no more kids in the house so she forced me to have my tubes tied and one other thing which I don't really like talking about, cause I get judged for it. So hubby and I and my son are currently in a hotel, due to the fact that my mom was drunk and assaulted me. We are hoping by next month to be in our own place and more. (PLS NO JUDGING)

Welcome! The virus really threw off a lot of people's plans for fertility treatment. Wishing you the best of luck as you start your protocol! I remember feeling so overwhelmed, but you learn and get the hang of it as you go.
