Hi,
Currently going through ivf and have my transfer tomorrow of 2 day 3 embies.
I had my egg retrieval on Monday with a hcg trigger of 10000iu and im on progesterone. Im absolutely dreading the thought of being pregnant, the insomnia I have right now and blocked nose and uncomfortable body aches, how do you do this for 9 months?
I've been preggo before but lost it at 8 weeks and couldn't sleep. I've been a right &$&hole to my husband and im making myself so anxious that I don't want to transfer.
Please help me.

Hi.
i think if you are going through ivf then you must really want a baby. Yes pregnancy can be tough for some people but just remember it doesn’t last forever and 9 months out of your whole life is such a short period of time. At the end when you have your baby that is so wanted it will be worth it.

Also every pregnancy is different even for the same woman so you may not experience the same symptoms as last time

Thank you ladies. I appreciate it. I've just had two lovely day 3 embryos transferred. 🤞🤞

Hi there, just wondering if your 3 day transfer of 2 embryos was successful? I've had same done today but two weeks feels so long until I find out!

Hi Alisha, wishing you the best of luck with your transfers, the 2ww is awful haha.
So I ended up pregnant with one of those embryos and it unfortunately didn‘t turn out viable. We had a yolk sack and no fetal pole at 7 weeks then went and had a ‘d&c’ in which the doctor absolutely screwed up. She said it was done and only found a small piece of ‘product’ (I really hate that they call a pregnancy product) and said I must have miscarried the day before. I continued bleeding very heavy for the next 4 days and called the clinic and they told me that the bleeding was fine. 5-6 days later I was having extreme excruciating back and leg pain and my doctor sent me to hospital only to find that I still had a 7 week pregnancy in my uterus. Ended up high as a kite on painkillers, they kept me overnight and did another d&c 6 days after my supposed first one. As if the first one was traumatic enough, I had to do it again.
This was our 5th round of ivf and and only second transfer. We have totally come to terms that we can’t have kids and are living our best life together now. ❤️
I know you didn’t ask for this story but it helps me by talking about it. We have crappy eggs and sperm and I’m 41. I feel like we have done the best we could have and won’t look back with any regrets.
I wish you the best of luck with your journey and keep me updated with how it goes. ❤️
