Please please pray for my husband and I as we wait to see if we are finally having a baby after two years of infertility. This could be it but the anxiety is very difficult. I feel hopeful and hopeless at the same time.

Gynaecological Procedures

Nearing four years of loss and infertility, I have had near every gynaecological/fertility procedure available.

Post laparoscopy, ablation surgery and a hysteroscopy I was given four pain pills. FOUR PILLS. For weeks worth of discomfort and nearly 4 weeks off work. I couldn’t even shower alone for over a week. But when I had my wisdom teeth removed, I was given an entire bottle of T3’s and only needed maybe a quarter of them, if that.

When I had my biopsies done, no pain medication was given, no freezing was offered, and the clinic had forgot to advise I take a OTC pain killer before the procedure. Not that an OTC painkiller would’ve helped with the discomfort I experienced. My clinic originally tried to convince me to skip this procedure because it was “extremely painful”. They were right about it being extremely painful, but how can they acknowledge this without offering medication or freezing? Instead we're encouraged not to get a clear understanding of our body or suffer through the process.

When I had my HSG no pain management was given. I was told to take an low dose pain killer beforehand. As if that would be enough to help with the sensation as dye was pushed through your uterus/tubes with enough pressure to clear any small blockages. And don't get me started on how I waited in a public hallway in nothing but a hospital gown for over 30 minutes before my procedure, not allowing me any sense of comfort or privacy.

When I had my egg retrieval, the only clinic in my province does not offer general anesthesia. Because apparently shoving a needle repeatedly in to your uterine wall and ovaries does not constitute as a procedure which would benefit from GA. If you saw the amount of blood on the examination table after my 1st retrieval or the two nurses pushing down hard on my pelvis to try to get my left ovary to become more accessible, you’d probably agree with me, more than freezing and a quick shot of medication needs to be done.

Gynaecological procedures deserve proper pain management. It's only humane.

Hi Tumblr world, I’ve been hiding out because IVF is a TRIP and I just need to yell into the void (no one IRL gets to know this for another week!) and be excited that…

I’m PREGNANT!

My beta HCG had to be over 50, and it was 101 today! Thursday they want to see it double then I can book my first ultrasound for 4 weeks from now. I can’t even comprehend that this is happening…

Having a bad, sad day as I think about the baby I want so badly but having trouble getting to. Thought I’d share with you something I wrote about a year ago regarding how I’m still currently feeling.

We’ve only been trying for about 6 months, and I know there are some beautiful souls out there who have been trying for so much longer. I am with you in mind and spirit. My door is always open for you if you need someone to listen. God knows I need that too.

Cd28 maybe? Idk.

Tested. Bfn on a cheapie.

Within 5 minutes of taking the test I started spotting 🙄

Not even sad, just ready to get prepped this cycle for IVF hopefully mid-July.

Already called to schedule my well-women's visit with my obgyn, getting my AMH rechecked today since it's been over a year, and then I get to schedule a "Nurse Teach" where they run me through the IVF timeline, tell me about ordering meds, etc.

Very much looking forward to no meds this cycle. No Letrozole, no trigger shot. It's actually a huge relief.

If anyone is interested, I'll try to update about the IVF process as I go through it. Otherwise I'll just continue to use Tumblr to scream into the void 🤣
