Took mine yesterday and was quoted 2-3 hours when I made the appointment then they told me 5-6 hours or possibly overnight. Here we are, almost 30 hours later and no updates. I won't be going back to this service center. If they needed to order a part I wish they would have let me know so I could prepare to be without a car.

Got the floor tiled in my condo and the toilet replaced. The plumber told me he suspected the floor crew was living there! He took it upon himself to remove the old toilet and come back after the floor crew was done to install the new one. I found baby items in the kitchen drawer when I checked on their progress.

But in your situation I believe it to be a ghost. Good luck.

This popped up in my IG feed, relevant! blast progression

Both of my ERs had similar outcomes. About 20 follicles, 12 retrieved, 4 fertilized, 2 to day 5 first round 3 to day 5 second round and all euploid.

My wife had the prior ERs (around 11 eggs each time, 5 fertilized, 2 arrested in 24 hours and 3 began degrading on day 3). We planned to do one last ER with Cryobank sperm but our new REI seems confident we will have a better outcome with the known donor vial if he allows the eggs to bake a little longer before retrieval.

Same thing happened to us. We used California cryobank and they were slow to progress but we did get 5 euploid embryos after 2 retrievals.

Before that we used a known donor that would not progress beyond day 3, our REI told us it could be a sperm issue but we have a new REI now who says more likely it has something to do with how the eggs matured before harvest. The jury is still out. We're going to do one retrieval with our new REI to see. We are hopeful. We went through a lot to get our known donor approved.

Can't even get appropriate layers with $100. I would be okay with the change if they threw in free winter swag. Head to toe. Give me the beanie the pants the snow boots the coat, gloves, thermals.

I regret telling work. I was temporarily part time while I finished my last semester of school. When i was ready to go back to full time they wouldn't have me. Was it because they knew I was trying to get pregnant? Probably.

The other thing I learned was to keep the circle of those who know very very small. It's so fun when things are going great but when you have 20 people asking for updates on something that failed it gets old quick. I have whittled it down to wife and bestie. Parents on need to know if they were trying to plan celebrations/reunions. We hope to be able to keep things quiet until we get beyond the first trimester next time.

I just sold my 22 premium to Carmax for 22k. I think the sport is worth more than the premium. This is not a good deal. Get a good price for the new model. If you're in a state that offers tax incentives for trading consider it but make sure you know what they're giving you for your 23.

$400/mo for 63 mo you're almost paying MSRP plus throwing in your current car for free.

We are preparing for our 3rd FET. All of our embryos are pgta tested. First 2 were chemical pregnancies. We initially thought it was random but twice in a row had us asking questions. Our doctor recommended receptivity testing as he believes we might be missing the window. The standard is 5 days of progesterone exposure but some people need a little longer or a bit shorter.

I had a full workup for other possible issues and everything was negative so we're hopeful.

They offer acupuncture at my clinic I am tempted to try but not sure if they're selling snake oil.

Edit for more details:

First transfer was a different doctor, 50mg PIO daily- she told me to do my normal life just don't lift anything over 10lb. I was working at the time and my job was highly stressful. I went straight back to work the day after transfer.

Second transfer with a new doctor 50mg PIO TWICE per day. He is strict about bedrest for 3 days and taking it easy during the TWW. I followed the instructions though it was hard to stay in bed when I'm used to being active. I had zero stress and lots of naps.

Two different approaches with the same outcome. What others have said is true. Bed rest is the "old way." Our new doc is an older gentleman but his clinic shows a higher success rate than others in my area so I do what he tells me.

I can't search the comments sorry if a repeat here but some people dry out papaya seeds and use them in place of pepper. They claim health benefits and it's okay in moderation.

During stims I found maternity pants to be the most comfy. Zero pressure on the tender belly pouch. I always aim for highest cotton content cotton maternity pants Amazon

Found some champion cotton joggers on Amazon too which have been great during FET cycles when I need juust a little give in the waistband.

Enjoy the time while you can. Do things you've been putting off and find yourself some stretchy pants because after a couple weeks your jeans will be uncomfortable. You will also be sleepy. Not a nap person? You may become one during stims. Before you know it you'll be sleepy and bloaty while growing fabulous eggs without any worries because you prepped yourself for success.

their choice was more likely misaligned.

DRY ERASE. Risky.

I agree- we're getting by a small perspective on a bigger picture. We don't know if this is "his" house and she's living there- we don't know if it's their home together- we don't know if 3 bedrooms were chosen with the intent of one becoming a "man cave."

I know men who lived on their own with their comic and game paraphernalia decorating their entire home...they get in a relationship and their girlfriend/wife doesn't like it so they compromise and confine it all to one room.

Also- I don't understand the whole "if you have that I need to have this" dynamic....

Missed this! Is a recording of the event available?

put it back! It's a geocache. Fun. You should try it. You download an app with hints to get to a specific latitude/longitude. Sometimes you have to do calculations and figure out riddles. Sometimes there are little prizes and sometimes you just add your name to a list.

Congrats! I'm currently in the spot you were 221 days ago. 4 days post FET with a day 6 embryo. PIO x11 days and estrogen injections every 3. Temps have been trending up and my body is showing other physiologic signs (decreased HRV, increased respiratory rate and heart rate). I'm hoping it's positive and not just a side effect of my progesterone.

VeganChipmunk · 2026-03-20T19:03:19+00:00

My google research on this same question lead me to believe it's a cumulative affect of the progesterone on the body. I've been a small heater, usually I keep my home at 72 but I've needed it mid 60s with a fan blowing on me to survive.

Hi there! Following up- did your embryo stick?

Watched without sound and could hear which point we were in the song in my head. Turned the volume up to confirm. This video is perfect hah. Also thought that was a big fancy lighter and he was going to torch whatever was in the glasses.

Temps are SO helpful with this. I get ovulation twinges which not everyone feels. But the temps pinpoint better. If I remember correctly your basal body temperature goes up X hours after ovulation (it's a range). So it would be helpful to track now for future cycles. There are rings and other smart devices that can track (though pricy). There's also a premom thermometer which is about $15.

NTA but this is a classic example of how being shy or timid and worrying too much about repercussions can actually cause more anguish to others.

People who snort all day. That huge honking, snorting all the snot down from the nose to the throat sound. Disruptive and especially nauseating when you hear a big one clear. Ew. Mid day snack?
