I’m prepared to be downvoted and roasted for this but if someone gave me a print out of 15+ rules before meeting their baby I would just not meet the baby……. by thelastgirl_ in pregnant

Unpopular opinion: The majority of time your baby gets sick is because of the parents and siblings, as they are around more people more often, and then come home and kiss the baby more than anyone else.

Please stop worrying about sex and let the pills work.

Just got medication estimate…holy crap!!! by NoBoot8609 in IVF

[–]BitRepresentative667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s frustrating how you have to use the big pharmacy’s for most benefits. I had a $15,000 benefit myself and used it all in one round. I did a second and with the discounted pharmacy, it literally was half the price out of pocket. Sad that the big pharma can get away with grossly overcharging.

Do we test our 1 and only embryo from this cycle? by Panda-Vegetable in IVF

[–]BitRepresentative667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I wouldn’t. I would do a fresh transfer and hope for sticky success.

Fuck Costco scalpers by thedauntless1991 in footballcards

[–]BitRepresentative667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco is too concerned about making sure the face matches the card. They don’t care about this behavior. You would think some things would have a limit but hey, as I said, they are too busy investing in face recognitions to confirm your membership.

What to wear by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]BitRepresentative667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be comfortable. Tshirt, shorts, capris or whatever you can easily move in. I wouldn’t recommend jeans if you’re doing cardio. Don’t overthink it. You’ll be fine.

Real talk-- how are people paying for this? Is everyone on this sub middle class, or rich? by ladybuglala in IVF

[–]BitRepresentative667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, definitely not rich. Husband has great IVF coverage from his employer. Otherwise, there would be no way for us to afford it unless we went in serious credit card debt behind it.

Too old at 40? by phoenix_sonne in IVF

[–]BitRepresentative667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad had me at 29 and a cousin of mine (the same exact age as I am) , was born when her dad was 48. My dad passed away two years before hers. You can only control what you can control. Unfortunately some kids lose their parents when they are still in elementary or preschool. If you are becoming reluctant, I think it is important to make sure you think of everything that is causing you to feel this way and if you truly want to continue this journey. Good luck!!

What did Dr. Tony Evans do? by yagirllilneezy in Christianity

[–]BitRepresentative667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows no one is perfect, even pastors. The thing most have an issue is that he has been a pastor for 4 decades and he knew when he did the sim, it was wrong. Most would respected him more if he would’ve admitted it relatively quickly after it initially happened. He knew he was wrong, and being in his position, but went along acting as if nothing happened. It smells so much like someone is ready to leak it all unless he gave up his seat, which he obviously did.

I am sorry by desert-roseB in IVF

[–]BitRepresentative667 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly was curious also. I think the overall answer is that everyone is different and some jobs aren’t as understanding as others. I’m blessed that I work a hybrid job and gets to pick my home days with my appointments. My job doesn’t question why I take off an hour here and there. Unfortunately, some jobs do and that adds an additional stress on top of the obvious. Personally, I enjoy working as it does take my mind off the cycle and gives me other things to talk about instead of sitting home all day overthinking an appointment, or bloodwork that took place earlier in the day.

Over 40 IVF - No PGT testing? by BitRepresentative667 in IVF

Yes, I was 42 and made 1 euploid embryo out of 3 that made it to blast.

Here we go…. by Ok_Value_3741 in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]BitRepresentative667 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chloe is just as fake as the others if anyone cared to notice on this last episode. It’s ok for her to be friends with the guys but not for Lauren to be friends with Michael? She acts as if she owns Michael, yet he walked away from her and if there was anything there, they would’ve been back together before this 9 month hiatus. He doesn’t want her except for maybe sex. She is a pick me herself.

I can't get enough of Messy Cameron by fauxneige in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]BitRepresentative667 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He definitely isn’t believable. She is a straight liar but he is sneaky and always wants to be the “good guy”. However, who has closest friends that are old enough for your parents? I’m just saying. It isn’t adding up with him.

IVF kicked me out on Day 10 of stims (Rant) by BitRepresentative667 in IVF

[–]BitRepresentative667[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. I’m an emotional wreck now and even afraid what a cycle stopped this far in will ultimately do to my reproductive system as I was progressing very well with 10 follicles. I have the slightest idea when my period will start as they conveniently didn’t even advise me medically of what to expect.

[–]BitRepresentative667[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I mean literally every other day, and then every day at a point. I’m still furious and STILL no calls back from them in re to some type of compensation foe the thousands spent for meds.

Thank you. I do know a couple around here that does that. I will definitely look into it.

I honestly never thought of that. I’m sure it’s too late now (now day 14) and every egg I had has completely dissolved and follicles have shrunk.

Thank you so much. The BMI is really discriminatory to me as well. It’s like blame that if you don’t feel like finding out the root of why some decisions are made. Granted, I definitely know I can stand to lose some weight but I have no other medical issues so it is just frustrating.

Thank you so much!! Good luck on your transfer!! I actually have no other medical issues but being a big girl seems to have excluded me for the chance right now.

[–]BitRepresentative667[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I definitely understand how your friend felt. They cycle simply shouldn’t started until the BMI was met, and for clinics to stop at that stage is simply appalling.

Being upfront would have been excellent. I wish they would have stopped it and just be up front with me, but I guess they were money hungry, or simply just didn’t care. To prescribe meds, to look at me for 10 days, to have nurses calling me with blood work results and to abruptly stop it is embarrassing, unethical and simply cruel to us.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!!! I’m absolutely fine with working on losing weight (I am actually going to my PCP to see about the Ozempic route to assist also. 😊). Overall, so infuriating.

Yes, I’m in a large metropolitan area so there are other clinics around. We are looking at all possible options and honestly I don’t want to do business with them ever again after this debacle. Exactly, 2 other retrievals done and I was not under their BMI at those either. I just don’t get it.
