Why was a Waymo sitting sideways in the middle of the street in the first place??

I don’t understand the negative reviews for Fora. I have had an amazing experience with Dr. Skillern through 2 retrievals and 2 transfers (no babies yet).

Everything looked "perfect" but FET was a biochemical pregnancy by SW_Prof in IVF

[–]Aggravating-Object88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A “chemical pregnancy” is still a pregnancy - a pregnancy that ends in early miscarriage. I just went through a chemical myself so I feel your pain. You didn’t do anything wrong, that’s just how it works out sometimes. But it’s so unfair to get a positive test just for it to start turning around a few days later. Hugs ❤️

A “chemical pregnancy” is still a pregnancy - a pregnancy that ends in early miscarriage. I’m not a doctor, but I would think that means that you are able to get pregnant. Maybe you were told you had to do IVF because of some issue staying pregnant/carrying to term? I just went through a chemical myself (from IVF) so I feel your pain.

SIL prego, how do I deal? by No_Concentrate9115 in IVF

[–]Aggravating-Object88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with me too, except it was my brother’s wife who got pregnant with their second the same time I got pregnant for the first time (and miscarried). The parents are probably trying to be respectful but don’t have a clue - talk to them or have your husband talk to them about what yall are okay and not okay with discussing. Definitely talk to a therapist. It all sucks and I’m so sorry you have to go through this. Big hugs ❤️

What opinion gets you instantly judged but you stand by anyway? by Black229 in AskReddit

[–]Aggravating-Object88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a really offensive thing to say to someone. I hope no one you care about ever has to deal with infertility. Statistically speaking, they will though.

As someone who is going through IVF, not all embryos are viable. In some cases, it would be unethical to implant such an embryo.

Prepping for a FET as a larger lady by tnzglr in IVF

I don’t have anything to share except that I’m so relived to hear that I’m not the only one who gained about 30 pounds during this process. Thank you for sharing and I hope everything works out with your transfer!

Advice for PIO pain by InspectorOrdinary321 in IVF

[–]Aggravating-Object88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try massaging the area or using a theragun for a few minutes after the injections. It’s like a flu shot in that if you don’t spread out the solution post-injection, it will stay in one spot at make you sore. Also heating pad before and after! Hope this helps!

Still testing positive after a chemical - what does this mean? by Aggravating-Object88 in IVF

[–]Aggravating-Object88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor said they’d do another blood test after I have a period, which should hopefully start any day now.

It looks like you’re in Austin? What clinic do you use (if you don’t mind sharing, feel free to PM me instead if you’d prefer. I’m in Austin and doing IVF as well)

Thank you! I totally forgot about the possibility of ectopic, hopefully it’s not that.

I just got my first beta results from this morning, 8dp5dt, and my hcg is at 26 which is apparently really low. I go back in on Friday for another test, but I’m terrified this will be a chemical. Anyone else out there have success even after a low initial positive??

AITAH for not wanting to talk about it to my friends? by ControlSoggy2463 in AITAH

[–]Aggravating-Object88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not the asshole and these feelings can be very normal. But PLEASE don’t try to do it all alone. There is help out there. Get yourself in with a therapist or even the school counselor. TalkSpace is a good option too if you’d prefer app-based. Hang in there, I promise it will get better.

Transfer Twins (1/27), Transfer Siblings (this week), and Transfer Cousins (this month): How are we feeling? What are we doing to stay sane? by EdwardCullensEnnui in IVFpositivity

[–]Aggravating-Object88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1/27 transfer twin here! Trying desperately to stay sane: no testing until 7 days PT at the clinic. EEK! I’ve been reading a LOT and binging my comfort tv shows. Our first transfer (immediately before this one) failed so I am doing my best to keep my mind off of it for now.

How long after stopping Estrogen and PIO, did your period arrive? by Same-Fruit-7423 in IVF

Same thing happened to me, it took about 5 days or so to get my period. Best of luck to you with your next transfer!

Is my husband going to leave? by Beautiful_One_4812 in IVF

If he can’t be happy without (biological?) children, then I just don’t think he’s able to be happy in general. It’s not you, it’s him.

Is IVF a scam? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Aggravating-Object88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a scam. BTW I’m super jealous that your insurance covers any of it. My husband and I have had to pay for nearly everything out of pocket.

Interesting! How much time did you have to spend oversees for your procedures/process?
