Hi everyone! First time posting here and hoping others have been on the same boat.

I'm 8w3d, fully medicated euploid FET. HCGs looked great and heartbeat and everything was looking great as well at our 6w6d ultrasound - our graduation ultrasound is next week!

I'm posting because I keep seeing content everywhere about extreme nausea, food aversions, and fatigue by now and that hasn't been my case, thankfully but it does give me some anxiety so want to see if anyone else has similar experiences? Maybe it's actually more common than social media is making me think?

For me it's been sore/tender breasts, more bathroom visits, sometimes a bit more tired so just going to bed a bit earlier, my stomach feeling a bit unsettled but not nauseous (I am prone to motion/sea sickness so I know this isn't even close to nausea for me), and food preferences/mental blocks but not the aversion I see where food/smells makes you gag.

Don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful it's like this and everything has been going great but because I did have two chemicals prior to IVF, there's usually a nagging feeling something has to go wrong so just looking for more positive stories. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Just looking to see past experiences with this program in the case of refunds.

We are about to start our first IVF cycle and it's via the Shared Risk Program. We were looking over the contract and it left us a bit confused. We are asking them as well as a legal representative but figured if anyone had any insights it would be appreciated.

The section on refunds explains all the conditions on how to get a 100% refund as well as a partial refund. That part was clear to us from Day 1.

However, right after stating the conditions, it has a section that states if a participant is terminated from the program for not completing the program in 2 year OR in SGF's sole discretion is no longer eligible to continue due to restrictions in participation (like age or medical condition), SGF will keep the money and all the cycles will be charged as if they were completed outside the program (i.e. per cycle versus a package).

Is this a loophole for them not to refund you? Has anyone has any issues with receiving a refund because of this?

The program sounds amazing but it is a lot of money and only reason we even felt comfortable with going through IVF is because of the possibility of getting most of the money back if it doesn't work out.

Thanks!

Hi everyone

First time posting and as the title says, just looking for any advice/tips/encouragement as we will be starting IVF in about 2 weeks.

Myself (30F) and partner (31M) have been TTC for 15 months, had 2x chemicals on Cycles 1 and 2 with no positives since then including 4 cycles on letrozole to help with "super ovulation", and are currently diagnosed as unexplained as physically everything checked out and his analysis was good too (DNA fragmentation wasn't recommended).

Due to borderline AMH (1.7-1.9) with an AFC of 9, I will be starting a microdose lupron flare protocol.

Just getting a bit anxious as the countdown continues and figured reaching out to this community might be helpful before starting. Once I start, I will probably keep away for my own mental health as I do not want to compare my journey with anyone else's.

Appreciate any bit you can help with. Thank you <3
