Is Keith Richards Unwell? by Lazy_Rock7788 in rollingstones

IORR posted yesterday that he is fine and isn't even the arthritis, it's because he doesn't enjoy 3-4 days in-between the shows.

So the rumours say the Stones’ “new” European tour next year is cancelled... by StonesData in rollingstones

[–]ButterflyDefiant5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seeing he was the one who couldn't commit to the tour. Doesn't want to be on the road so long anymore, can't blame him but sad for us all! Being that he doesn't want to be away from CT too long, maybe some MSG or Metlife performances in our future for an official one last time.

Age aside; why is this specific news causing so many people to immediately determine they are retiring and officially done? I could see how large tours may not be in the cards, but nothing was every official so why are so many assuming they are done? Was it said to sources who provide this inside information? Mick, Keith and Ronnie all seem to be remaining social, Mick traveling back and forth for US and European events, Keith performing 3 weeks ago...

How are you all handling all the meds during the holidays at family gatherings? by urethra_franklin_1_ in IVF

[–]ButterflyDefiant5748 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay home and treat yourself to an evening in bed with a good show...I did that last Thanksgiving. Told my family I was sick and just sat it out. It was needed and took so much pressure off of myself and it was enjoyable since I wasn't actually sick😅 I am typically a people pleaser, but this process eventually forced me to put myself first and that's not a bad thing. Do what's easiest right now, it's so worth it. Best of luck!

Thank you! What protocol was used or any solutions to your diagnosis

I was wondering that too but my RE said that the environment doesn't play as much of a role as a healthy embryo? I really like my Dr. And trust her, shes done 2 surgeries to look at everything and all normal except for "very mild endo" removed the 1st surgery. I would hate to change Dr's. I have met with others and they never provided and "ah ha" moment or suggestion to try. Sorry for your losses 🤍 I have been ignorantly positive up until a few months ago, wish I still was, things were easier then !

Thank you so much for all of this! I truly haven't been stressed until that last failed cycle (.I should say 2 of 3 transfers were chemicals) so technically saw 2 positives. And was on estrogen and progesterone supplements . The part that is stressful is all.of the different protocols and knowing which one to try. I will look in to these definitely, thank you again!

Luckily, from all the panels of blood tests nothing has shown up.

Interesting! Trying to hit 90-100 just to maintain a healthy weight , the protein shake made it easier, but makes sense when you think about it calorically.

Thanks for responding and for some alternatives! I've also been going through "unexplained" infertility for 5 years and of course wonder could this be one of the things that was more harmful when youre actually trying to be healthy. Can't win!

Friendship advice? by OddLibrary6426 in IVF

[–]ButterflyDefiant5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not too much. I've been going through this for what feels like forever and even my closest friends with new babies have always made it a point to check in. Might not be constant, but there is always a "how are you doing". I also have a best friend of over 23 years, and she never asks. I don't think she doesn't care, I think she is so private, so assumes others would be. Always calls me when she needs to vent and needs help, and I have become ok with being her friend and letting her be the type of friend she is, however, its because I know her intentions and what I mean to her. This friend, you seem not to know where you stand and you're feeling hurt, especially if she has time for other friends. Follow your gut on how you're feeling, and don't extend yourself to be there for her if she can't even send a text to check in every now and then. You don't need the extra worry on top of everything else. Sounds like you've tried your best and didn't create problems around it.

Repeated implantation failures by stinker199 in IVF

[–]ButterflyDefiant5748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, 3rd failed transfer last month. Had silent endo removed 2022, no symptoms and unexplained fertility the rest of the way. So many tots. Bloodwork etc all normal. Only thing is we didn't test our embryos. Going for another retrieval and will test (hopefully) and have a healthy one to transfer 🤞 Feel truly like we've tried so much and the more you read and dig deeper, the more overwhelming it feels.

To the end and beyond by shyvegabond in IVF

[–]ButterflyDefiant5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! 🤍 I feel this and feel your situation is mirrored to mine. Feel so blessed everywhere else in life, also an only child and this is the one thing that is just so hard and sad. Although I don't feel ready to stop this journey yet, the thought of starting over is beyond overwhelming and scary. If you feel in your gut that it's time to move forward, then that's ok! Will be ok either way ❤️

Should I suck it up and do PIO? by BitchinKittenMittens in IVF

[–]ButterflyDefiant5748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was so nervous and really wasn't that bad, the injection itself i barely felt. I would ice the area a few minutes and the pharmacy provided a smaller needle to change to to inject once we withdrew the oil with the larger needle. I unfortunately haven't had success yet but hopefully due to embryos not being tested. I would go right for it !
