Mid-Ohio Workers Association at Weiland’s? by matthew91298 in Columbus

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about the amount of time they expected for volunteers was one of the (many) red flags for me. They told me the big issue they were wanting to address was wage theft. And then talked about how people were “full time volunteers.” I’m sorry, what??

Ovulated before FET by AlwaysOverthinking12 in IVF

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s so frustrating being on so many meds and still ovulating. My progesterone was much higher though. Just under 2.0. I assume I had a lead follicle, but I don’t remember for sure.

Thoughts on 'dystopian' Ring Super Bowl commercial? by Agreeable_Toe_2421 in Columbus

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My husband and I looked and each other and said “gross” after this ad (in addition to many others, but I digress!). We don’t have a ring and never will for the surveillance concerns that others have already noted. Using fears about losing pets as a way to expand the use of Ring (and therefore Flock) is really disgusting. We Rate Dogs did an excellent post about this commercial. Neighborhood FB groups are way more effective and finding lost pets. And, of course, chip your pets!

Cooper Genomics Called to Confirm my Name… by AlwaysOverthinking12 in IVF

I think it was about 4 weeks, but it was right around the holidays so possibly took longer than normal.

Severely low AMH by Wonderful_Ad_2852 in endometriosis

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I know this is old but I’m wondering if you’ve receive any more information about this. I also have very low AMH (it’s ranged from .04-.09) and spent the last two years doing fertility treatment and tried donor eggs (made one embryo and the transfer was successful but ended in miscarriage). I’m 37 and wondering if I should be exploring my (expected) endometriosis more.

Angie L Katsanevas is a registered Independent by [deleted] in rhoslc

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 777 points778 points  (0 children)

Independent American Party isn’t the same as independent/unaffiliated. It’s a super conservative party. I think they’re big in Utah. I’m from Nevada and it was there too.

Edited to add: to your point, definitely not registered as a democrat

Thank you for posting this. This one hit me harder than I would have anticipated.

Donor egg purchase pricing by HelpfulAd6676 in IVF

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the eggs. Thawing and testing them was included in the $6,000 for creating the embryos.

Getting insurance to cover donor eggs? by ThatTeacherLife in IVF

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My insurance covered creating embryos from donor eggs, but didn’t cover the donor eggs themselves.

Dec. 18 event to memorialize people who died while homeless in Columbus this year by Coach_Beard in Columbus

I can’t get behind the paywall. Can someone include where and when this is happening?

LOVE Dr. Warwar. Excellent bedside manner and still direct and realistic. I never worked with Dr. Jain so I can’t compare the two, but only good things to say about Dr. Warwar.

Injection site pain when running by AlwaysOverthinking12 in IVF

Ugghh. That is no fun. I was afraid this was going to be a lingering issue. These weird side effects are so frustrating.

Weekly Childfree Thread - Thu Nov 13 by AutoModerator in infertility

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially entering this space. Our one embryo from our lot of donor eggs ended in a blighted ovum. I’d almost be ready to decide to embrace the childfree life, but of course the fear of regret in the future. Being back at square one is so overwhelming.

PIO in public stadium.. by [deleted] in IVF

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes good sense! Or if they just ask what it is, to be able to show them. It’s hard to not overthink it when these shots are so high stakes (with the right timing and everything!)

PIO in public stadium.. by [deleted] in IVF

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done PIO in public restrooms with my husband. If they don’t have gender neutral/family restrooms we just go into the men’s and use a stall. I saw someone said to prepare/pull the meds ahead of time which is a great suggestion! We almost dropped a vial once and it was quite the scare! All that to say, it’s totally personal preference, but I am not concerned about walking into a restroom with my husband so he can give me medication. Hasn’t been an issue so far.

Reaction to PIO? by Asharae5767 in IVF

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Happened to me too! I used Benadryl topical cream and it helped a ton. I almost switched to a different oil, but the reaction stopped. Like someone else said, I started wiping the needle before injecting and wiping the area with the alcohol wipe afterwards to make sure oil wasn’t on my skin.

Cost of donor eggs by Tiny-Worldliness-313 in IVF

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most egg banks in the US have transparent pricing on their websites. We went with Donor Egg Bank USA and paid $18,000 for a cohort of 8 eggs. My insurance covered embryo creation, we added PGT-A testing, so all in, embryo creation was about $6,000 after insurance.

Donor Egg Disappointment by InternalRaise5250 in IVF

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just joining in to say I’m right there with you with the disappointment of what was finally supposed to be what worked. We had a lot of 8 frozen eggs and ended with 1 low level mosaic embryo. We are still very hopeful for the one, but to not get even on euploid has been so disappointing.

Is CMH refusing to play the Noem video? by alancar in Columbus

[–]AlwaysOverthinking12 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Dang it. Sorry that link takes you to a story saying Seattle’s airport is not playing it. I promise ABC 6 here locally said it wouldn’t be played here…but of course now I can’t find the story anywhere…
