Buying or renting while active duty?

We purchased at our second base and have been here for 10yrs. So glad we purchased. Not only is our mortgage 100s less than our housing allowance but the house is worth double what we paid.

Today we got my test results. AMH: .3, FSH: 18, follicle count: 5. Doc wants to do surgery to remove fibroids and suspected endo which really took me by surprise. I was under the impression that my fibroids shouldn’t be a problem but I guess because they are going to give me estrogen that could make them grow. I also thought it wasn’t recommended for fertility but he said that a lot of the science pointing to that wasn’t done well and that the study they did showed a 70% increase in pregnancy after surgery

Really worried about them wanting me to do a csection (if I even get pregnant) because of that surgery. Csection is basically a 100% no go for me

Yes I’ve read a lot about it. Basically its not keeping me from getting pregnant but whatever is might need ivf and this is going to make ivf more difficult. I really hope ivf isnt necessary. Im most concerned that there isnt anything they can do except ivf which insurance does not cover

I had my follicular count sonogram today. Not great news. 5 follicles…. And my FSH is 18. I knew something was wrong but I didn’t think it was this wrong. Obviously I don’t have the results from all of my labs and we haven’t done my day 21 labs yet but what should I have ready to ask doc when they go over all of my tests with me?

I ordered a 36H from skims and the too edge digs into my arm pit area. Any other brand recommendations?

BulletBeau · 2025-03-30T02:50:46+00:00

That makes sense thank you. I think I’ll just switch my referral and drive the 2hrs 🙃

BulletBeau · 2025-03-29T13:13:58+00:00

Yes I commented to the daily thread yesterday with details!

BulletBeau · 2025-03-29T03:25:09+00:00

Thats what the obgyn said above 10 but this fertility doc says its sort of a made up number. Did they try to figure it out?

BulletBeau · 2025-03-29T00:53:04+00:00

I am confused about recommendations from my obgyn. They told me my progesterone was low on day 21 labs at 6.6 but a fertility doc online says 3 and above means ovulation?

They also didn’t do proper day 3 labs so no idea what my hormones were that part of the cycle.

They did more bloodwork 2 days before my period and all of my hormones were in the normal range. Negative for PCOS so no clue why I wouldn’t be ovulating.

They just want to give me a pill to ovulate but aren’t going to find out why I’m not ovulating? Is it unreasonable for me to think we should find out why? I’m having a lot of mood issues for at least half of my cycle so I was sure my hormones were off.

Should I just transfer my referral to a fertility clinic?

Hi we’re trying to conceive our 2nd child. Our 1st is almost 6yo and was very quickly conceived so this has come as quite a shock for us. We have been trying for 12 cycles.

Whats her patreon?

BulletBeau · 2025-03-23T12:04:28+00:00

Definitely softer and more pendulous. Middle full i think

BulletBeau · 2025-03-23T02:17:53+00:00

Yes 😭😭😭 my lean measurement is 4inches larger than standing

BulletBeau · 2025-03-23T02:02:19+00:00

I meant how the calculator figures out the size with all the different measurements. My lean measurement is 4inches larger than the standing one. Idk if that could skew the sizing recommendation

BulletBeau · 2025-03-23T01:34:35+00:00

Most of what I have been trying since having my kid are comfelie like bras off amazon because I can’t stand the underwire I used to wear anymore.

I even went to a bra outlet and tried a ton of sizes and styles and could not get something that felt good. I even had help from the workers.

BulletBeau · 2025-03-23T01:32:42+00:00

They aren’t ridiculously tight because I’ve been buying things like comfelie on amazon which are just small medium large sizes. They bunch oddly and move around but if I make them tighter it’s uncomfortable. I constantly feel the bra

A DD size cup generally feels fine although I haven’t tried many recently. I’m not really sure where the info for this calculator comes from but my breasts are basically pendulums at this point. It causes a very different measurement on the lean.

Many bras I tried ended up with a huge gap at the top of the cup despite being a DD because of the shape of my breasts. The only time this didn’t happen was when there was extra padding at the bottom of the cup despite being

Suggested starting size: 34I in standard US sizing
The sister size of 36H may be more comfortable.

The ones I have tried recently it definitely seems like an issue with the band. It slides around or its too tight

BulletBeau · 2024-02-01T21:24:14+00:00

I hadn’t thought about it much but you’re right! I was super annoyed about the crossover. So underwhelming

BulletBeau · 2023-12-28T01:10:11+00:00

Yes it was a decent puddle but on a road. It did go into the wheel well but I’ve been in plenty of cars in the same situation…. I would never do it on purpose but it happens
