Our first IUI | baseline ultrasound, letrozole days 1-3, annoying side effects, insurance issues

[@user-ob9tk1co8p]

I’m on my second month of Letrozole. Both times I get extreme fatigued and headaches and then twinges and cramps towards ovulation. May god bless us both with offspring ❤

[@RachelVinn]

Thanks for sharing! God bless you 💜💜

[@AlainaNess-rn1ts]

I think it's amazing how you are explaining every step of this TTC process. It's so informative and greatly appreciated!

[@RachelVinn]

Glad it was helpful!🙌🏼

[@KourtneyWish]

I don't comment on KZbin videos ever, but I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for being so vulnerable and posting your TTC journey. I found your page a couple months ago when you posted your 1 year TTC video and I relate so hard to how you feel. It's been 10 months for us, trying to stay postive! There is not much KZbin content that is as in depth and relatable, so thank you from one TTC girl to another for doing what you're doing. So many prayers and love for you and your journey! Excited to follow along! xoxo

[@RachelVinn]

I needed to hear this today! Sometimes I feel like I share too much so it’s good to know it’s helping 🥲💜

[@RJLPChirupadmini]

Praying for you and AJ !!!! Hope you get the good news soon . If you feel alone , Don't forget that all of us are there with you in this Journey !!!!!!

[@RachelVinn]

Thank you😭💜🥹

[@jordanlouie6603]

I’ve watched your videos for awhile but recently binged the last few because I was behind - your content has been so great lately, thank you for sharing so much of your life with us! I’m also Christian and your dedication to your morning prayer time is so encouraging. You are so brave in sharing your TTC journey too ❤ Praying for ya!

[@RachelVinn]

Thanks so much :) I really appreciate the kind words

Got pregnant on my first cycle with letrozole. But i did a supplement of many vitamins for 6 months before i tried, like oil fish, coenzyma q10, victamin C, Royal jelly, the pre-pregnancy vitamins and of also a healthy food since january of this year! Cut off pizza, burguer and all White bread and rice, sugar... so prepared my budy and try to improve egg quality.

Your vlogs are the only ones i stop everything else to watch early 🥰 love from Germany ❤️

[@RachelVinn]

You're the best! 💜 god bless you

[@tiare9484]

Ive been watching you for awhile now and am so happy that you documented your experience. I just went in for my HSG and have been told I have a blocked tube. My doctor briefly did mention IUI maybe be the best route to take. I have my follow up next week to discuss further. I must say I am super nervous about taking letrazole from all the symptoms people have reported after starting it. Anywho, thank you for documenting your experience and CONGRATS on baby boy-I was in tears when you announced.

[@RachelVinn]

You got this!! 🩵🙏

[@oliviagracevlogs]

Good morning, Rach! ⭐️ I've been praying for you! I hope you have a great day, and you're literally one of my fave youtubers and humans in general. I love how genuine you are with us despite the struggles you endure. God is good, and he has a plan for you! 💗🫶🏻

[@RachelVinn]

Thanks so much Olivia!! I really appreciate it 😭

[@oliviagracevlogs]

I love your channel so much Rachel. Its not only entertaining but relaxing to watch. And when I’m finished I feel refreshed and encouraged instead of ALOT of other KZbinrs leave me feeling drained and icky I guess. Sending love and positive vibes💖

Wishing a speedy solution to your journey,....You are an inspirational human!

I’ve also been on a long TTC journey - in my experience about half of folks who try Letrozole experience some major side effects, while the other half don’t. For some, Clomid worked better slash was easier to handle (ex less harsh side effects). We tried Clomid two months ago and it was ROUGH. I had horrible headaches, night sweats, and major depressive thoughts. It didn’t work for us. Our Dr switched us to Letrozole the very next cycle and the difference was like night and day - no major side effects! We monitored my follicle sizes and did timed intercourse. Happy to report it worked! We’re going in for our first pregnancy ultrasound tomorrow. ❤ My point is, if this Rx is too much for you, maybe it’s not the right fit - don’t be afraid to switch it up next cycle. My biggest hope, though, is that it DOES work for you - so that you can finally start building your family (and also that we can have similar pregnancy timelines). My fingers are crossed for you! ❤

[@RachelVinn]

Ahhhhh amazing congratulations 🥹

You can also remount your original diamond on a yellow band if you wanted! I recall you like a different shape instead of the Princess cut but just an FYI 😊

[@jessssalemme]

I’m relatively new to your channel, I’d love to see a sort of Q&A with AJ, or just like story time background on your relationship, how you met, your guys story, what he does for work etc! Not sure if you’ve done that recently!

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Your such a genuine and awesome content creator Rachel, hope your insurance is okay. Your super pretty in purple🤩💜💫!

[@dariiashevchuk9811]

Thanks for sharing, appreciate all you do for us. Here in Ukraine my doctor also suggested to try the letrozole but I’m still in mixed feelings. Feeling like not ready.

[@Angeliquess]

My first IUI got cancelled on my CD 3 as I have cysts which affects my estrogen level 😢 It was a big disappointment. Hopefully we start next month! Finger crossed it works first try for you!!

[@RachelVinn]

Ugh I’m so sorry!!

[@annakoretchko688]

just learning of these hip issues, need to figure it out

[@Lyndsay915]

Had my first IUI on Aug 16, and I was so excited and anxious to take a pregnancy test today....and it was NEG :( UGH. My company offers no infertility benefits, so everything is out of pocket for this. Now I'm just waiting for my period to come.....

[@JennaHong]

I love lavender on youuuuuuu😍

@RachelVinn good morning how are you ☺️ happy early 4th of July Independence day

[@randitocherox]

Thinking of you Rachel

[@babster2524]

I had headaches and hot flashes on my first round of letrozole. Also, I had cramps in my ovaries that ramped up until I ovulated. It was so bad on ovulation day that I could barely walk and then a few hours later it was gone. The second round I didn’t have much in the way of noticeable side effects and the cramping came but was less severe. Currently on my second day of the third round and haven’t noticed anything.

Hey, I just wanted to ask about your experience of the ultrasound on day 3 of your cycle.

[@mansoor3159]

Rachel me and my sister is your biggest biggest fan and she really loves your vlogs a lot you are my inspiration and my sister is sending you lots of love😀💖💖

[@TobilobaOlusanya]

I love your videos

[@rociomarquez8810]

I have been on letrozole for four months and the first month I also experienced super bad headaches , if you have high estrogen it also contributes to the headaches and can be considered “cyclical headaches” But after that your body adjusts and you shouldn’t feel it as bad next month. I also felt twinges but very minimal. I’m approaching 1 year of treatments with my fertility clinic but have been trying for over 2 years. May God bless us who have been struggling with infertility 🫶🏽

[@RachelVinn]

That’s great to know, praying for you 💜🙌🏼

[@bren_z]

We are here with you both!!! Hoping it's good news soon. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Which Pilates did you do?

I ended up just going for a walk haha

Or you could’ve removed your diamond and had it reset in a gold band. But love a moissanite.
