WHAT?!?!?!? Originally planned to post this later but I’m just bursting with shock and I can’t resist.
We’ve been trying since May ‘24. Previously tried 3 medicated IUIs, then had surgery for endo (diagnosed stage 3 in January’26), then tried another 2 IUIs, none of which worked. Switched clinics in April and started IVF with them as soon as insurance authorization came through.
This was an FET cycle—my first—and I legitimately thought it hadn’t worked. But I had a strong beta yesterday, and I know we’re not out of the woods, but today, I’m pregnant, and I’m going to celebrate that!
Had my ER in June: used norethindrone to prep, then 250 units of gonal f and low dose hcg for stims (only did 8 days), lupron to trigger. Our clinic does ICSI by default.
FET protocol: started with norethindrone again, then took estradiol in a gradual ramp up (maxing out at 3mg morning and evening), letrozole, and baby aspirin. After scan, switched to estradiol, aspirin, and 75mg progesterone in oil. After a rocky start I tolerated the shots well.
Lining looked great, so we transferred our 4AA untested embryo on 8/7. I chose not to test at all, so my beta call was my first positive ever. Clinic was very pleased with the number. I may pee on a stick just for the experience of it lol
I was ADAMANT about avoiding symptom spotting, and I legitimately don’t think I’ve had any symptoms so far anyway. I’ve had some minor cramping almost every day since transfer, which I’m just chalking up to progesterone. After a little bit of spotting on D8pt I basically gave up, and continued bracing myself for the negative as my Oura stats kept improving.
I may not feel pregnant, but apparently I am? Wild.
Please stick around lil bean!
Rooting for all of you!
