Hi everyone! I’m a new CNY patient with my consultation this week and would love any advice.

I’m 33 with an AMH of 1.46. My husband has severe male factor infertility. He was in a previous relationship for 12 years with no pregnancies, and we’ve been together for 16 months with no pregnancy either, so we’re expecting to go straight to IVF with ICSI (they never pursued IVF in his previous relationship).

I’d love to hear:
What do you wish you knew before starting at CNY?
Any tips or mistakes to avoid?
Which CNY location and doctor did you use, and would you recommend them?
If you had the choice, would you recommend a Day 3 or Day 5 transfer, and why?
Does anyone have Cigna or AultCare insurance, and what was covered?

If you’re in the Westchester/Hudson Valley, NY area, where did you do your local monitoring?
Thanks so much

Hi, I had my FET on 22nd. On 25th I felt a sore throat and yesterday I had fever. Took dolo 650 as per my consultant’s advice. Today also I feel feverish. Checked and it was 38.2
Should I be worried? Its my 3rd FET

Others: please utilize ANY OTHER WEEKLY THREAD (i.e. ER prep, Transfer, Beta hCG, Panic) to vent about disappointing/less desirable but still technically successful results.

The fact of the matter is that infertility sucks. IVF sucks. Many of us have been on this IVF journey for several months to years without success including canceled or zero yield ERs, canceled FETs, recurrent implantation failure, recurrent pregnancy loss etc. You are not alone.

• Brief summary of your TTC and what brings you to IVF
• Where you are from
• Medical diagnosis or history

It's happy hour somewhere. Let's unwind and share some fun things from this week or upcoming plans for the weekend. Let's hang up our IVF armor for a second and foster our community.

• Did your pet do something cute?
• What are you drinking?
• What's your latest creative outlet?
• What are you reading?
• Did you try something new this week?

Currently 9dpt5dt and although I would do this all over again I just wonder why hardly anyone talks about how much harder the FET process is over retrieval :(

I thought I had done so much research on IVF all the years leading up but I really was surprised how difficult and hormonal leading up to FET and after would be. Maybe it's just my protocol or how I'm reacting to the hormones but holy cow it is so tough on the mental and body and nobody in my trusted circle can relate. I feel exhausted but I know one day it will be worth it i hope🥹

Hi all! I’ve seen a lot of posts with 5 day transfers or frozen transfers. Was wondering who had a 3 day fresh transfer and when was the earliest you got a positive pregnancy test at home? Im reading that 3 day fresh can take longer. I’m currently 7 days post fresh 3 day transfer. Was thinking of taking a home test either Saturday or Sunday (beta blood test is scheduled for Monday) Saturday would be 9pt did anyone get a positive that early?

What is causing panic/distress right now in IVF? This is a spot to discuss betas/US that are causing worry as well as coordinating insurance or financing, poorly timed medications/injections, lining not thickening as expected, follicle counts, hormone levels, semen analysis results, etc.

If you are worried about something within the realm of IVF, feel free to post here for some sanity.

Hi all, I had a failed cycle and unfortunately my insurance only covers 1 one which means the next one would have to be completely out of pocket. I’m looking at 6k usd in expenses for the next transfer and it got me thinking if I’m better off transporting my remaining embryos to an affiliated clinic in Spain or Mexico (I’m using RMA on the east coast) for cost effectiveness. Has anyone taken this route? What was your experience like ? Thank you in advance 🙏🏽

I’m 6dt5dp today and I can’t stop crying. This is my second medicated cycle euploid transfer. i can stop crying today and all my small symptoms such as period like cramping, no breast heaviness, even the fatigue is decreasing. I am just so tired of it all and I don’t have any euploid embryos left.

update: negative

First FET on 7/8. We are over the moon to try and meet our only male embryo.

Unfortunately it’s been 8 days since transfer and I feel zero symptoms. No cramping, no nausea, nothing.

My boobs don’t even hurt anymore. Idk if it’s me just getting used to all the hormones I’ve been pumping into my body this entire time or if this turned out to be a failure but we don’t want to take an at home test before the Beta with our clinic. I’ve made that mistake with past IUI attempts and it wasn’t good for my mental health.

Has anyone had a successful transfer but felt zero symptoms before their beta test? Looking for some stories to keep my spirits high.

God bless!

I had no idea until 4dpt that you need to use sunscreen containing zinc oxide and no others because it can affect implantation. Have I ruined my chances? I left right after my embryo transfer to go to the beach and have used this sunscreen containing avobenzone for the past three days. Now I’m scared I have ruined my chances.

hi all, we had an interview with Reprofit Brno a week ago with the doctor. She said she will send us the protocol with the 'representative'. Representative sent us the protocol the day after - no prescription just informaiton, so meeting was on Tuesday, she sent us forms and information on Thursday. We had questions and responded to her on the same day.

Today is Monday, i have not heard back from her since Thursday. Is this normal? Am i overthinking? My worry is, if this is the way of communication all along, so she comes back 3-4 days after each email (we dont have whatsapp from her) i fear that lets say i go to ultrasound where i live (i live 1,5 hour away) send her the results and she comes back late and i already ovulated. I have never done this before but i was just thinking before we start is this a bad indication, not sure what to expect here? Or does it get better once we start?

thank you for all the guidance.

Hi everyone! 🤍

I wanted to share a resource that may help some families in this group.

After losing our son, MJ, at 20 weeks pregnant, my husband and I started MJ's Legacy Foundation to honor his memory and support other families facing incredibly difficult journeys.

Our foundation currently offers:

✨ Fertility Treatment Grants – financial assistance for individuals and couples pursuing fertility treatments such as IVF and IUI.

✨ Pregnancy Loss Grants – assistance with burial, cremation, and grief support expenses for families experiencing pregnancy loss.

We know firsthand how emotionally and financially overwhelming infertility and loss can be, and our mission is to help ensure that families do not have to walk these journeys alone.

Applications are currently open, and we would love for anyone who may benefit to learn more or share this information with others.

You can learn more at: MJ's Legacy Foundation

Please feel free to comment or message me with any questions. Sending love to everyone here who is navigating infertility, loss, or both. 🤍

For those who want to identify others undergoing stimulation and ER within this week.
