Wondering how other couples decided when the time was right.

We completed two ERs, the second was devastating . I felt unwell, got high BP, an endometrioma and no embryos. We do have an embryo from the first ER.

We are speaking with a clinic in Europe to arrange DE in late summer/autumn. When I imagine going on this trip and possibly coming back pregnant, it is absolutely thrilling to me. If this is how my baby is meant to come to me, I can’t wait to meet him or her and I don’t want any more delay.

I am also concerned about the possible impact on my health if any more ER. (My BP is usually low, and I didn’t have an endometrioma on the first ER, so what the heck happened there?) If we did another ER, my RE suggested a modified natural round. RE says we’re still candidates for IVF, but I feel ready to move on to success. I’m done with struggle and I’m done hoping to be part of a lucky 1%. The odds of DE are so much more hopeful. I’m ready for ease, health and motherhood.

Husband says he will do whatever I want, but he wants to try an ER again. I want to honor his feelings as well as mine.

We have a great relationship and we will work this out. I’m more wondering what lenses or perspectives others used to decide when to stop ER and try a DE round. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

This came up for me and my husband as a possible middle name for our baby girl. There is a very prominent woman in the Hispanic/Sephardic Jewish community named Noelia. I was intrigued by that, since I like the name, but always associated it with “Noel”. I did a little research, and learned that is sometimes considered a variant of the Hebrew name “Noa”. Anyway, curious as to how others of Hispanic/Sephardic descent view this name.

Hi, wondering if anyone has gotten pregnant the same cycle as their receptiva test. If so, what was your experience? I know some docs allow sex during the cycle and some don’t.

To anyone who attended or is attending UW Milwaukee, did you do video assignments very often? And were your courses asynchronous, synchronous, or a mix? Thank you!
