IVF / ICSI starting this week - anyone else?

Hey 👋🏽. New to this group. Starting my first (and hopefully only) IVF / ICSI cycle this week after TTC for almost 5 years. Feel like I’ve researched so much and there seems to be such a range of experiences - side effects etc. Hoping to start a thread for anyone starting IVF around the same time so we can support each other. Sending you all positive vibes! 💫

Heyy! I am starting this week to. I've been on birth control for a little over a week. I'll be starting the stimulants on saturday!! Sending you positive vibes too!

Praying for both of you and sending strength. You can do it! ❤️

Awesome!! Just said a prayer for you and Nichole. I hope it works out for you all like it’s working for me. Currently 29weeks pregnant

Thank you! Now 13 weeks! 😃

I’m a little bit ahead of you in the process but, just a bit. Just started meds for FET, baby dust to you!

Custody

My dear friend is working on a plan to separate from her Fiance. They have a toddler together. What does she need to know before starting this process?

I’ve had two faint positives recently. I’ll put those in the comments.

I took a digital clear blue. It said not pregnant. But had three lines. Anyone knows if this is neg or positive? I’ll post my others in the comments. They were dip ones

Are you trying this month?

Scared of a Christmas baby?! Who’s trying this month?

Are there areas of your house you don't let your kids go?

I'm having trouble aligning with my husband on household boundaries with our toddlers. We have no attic. We have an autistic teen whose room is on the top floor. His room is very spacious and stores Xmas decorations and out of season clothes.

To me, it seems like a space that can easily be boundaried off from the younger kids. My husband however, is inconsistent. So the kids get confused about whether they're actually allowed up there or not. They go and wake him up sometimes just to get a toy that doesn't belong to them. He seems to think it's a rule for the sake of a rule, but I find it convenient to have a place I can hide things from them - and I find it stressful to not have one.

I thought for sure I was out this month, but I swear there is a pink line? 🤞🏼😭 All my other tests up until now have been stark negative so I don’t think this an evap. Any thoughts? Is this too faint?
