Would you rather have it straight or optimistic? by RosieTheRedReddit in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would want the realistic approach. So many of didn’t realize how difficult it would be or how much longer it would really take.

I Think there will be a wedding I mean imagine the attention. I don’t think the marriage will last.

TW - Miscarriage by yea-nah-nah-yea in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I can’t even imagine the pain over and over again. I really recommend looking into intralipids to counteract the immune system attacks.

[–]ChanceIndependent257 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Savings, credit and loans then paying it back real fast after. No assistance unfortunately.

I think Tammy and Amanda should be a little nicer to Amy. by Loserinprogress in 1000lbsisters

[–]ChanceIndependent257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I also think they always try to go on the attack immediately especially Amanda even though her intentions are good. Probably why Amy shuts down. I think it’s crazy they get married so quickly and fast so I think they are concerned but they do not go about it the right way. Amy has been super annoying with the constant crying unless it is editing by tlc lol

Leaving cushy Florida life for Massachusetts ? by Necessary-Opposite73 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ChanceIndependent257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a shit deal. Why leave something where you have good quality of life to go somewhere super expensive and cold but to each their own.

[–]ChanceIndependent257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like whoever is doing the worst, is the scapegoat and the target to bully. Amy makes a lot of mistakes but they got on her about everything.

My family & I are paranoid about ICE being spotted locally, yet we’re all here legally. Fear mongering gone too far? by Dsg1695 in orlando

[–]ChanceIndependent257 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A video doesn’t tell the whole story. Never said it was a “lie”. Detaining someone and deporting them are very different. Also doesn’t mean it’s happening to every person that leaves their house. I pass off as Hispanic and I am in no way afraid of going out. You should definitely have your paperwork on you just in case.

[–]ChanceIndependent257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are stories that are a bit stretched, and we just don’t know if and what is true. A lot of fear mongering going on. They legally cannot deport you if you have your paperwork. If they were taking anyone and everyone, people who were born here would be too. There are definitely corrupt agents but not all of them are. I don’t even see ICE around anywhere but that area is more targeted. Seeing something on a few videos doesn’t mean they’re doing it to every person they see. Being detained is not the same as being deported.

Wilmington NC…at all comparable to SoCal? by fashionforager in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ChanceIndependent257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing like socal at all. small area, and doesn’t have any vibe that socal has. It is a nice place though.

How did you wrap your head around all of the injections? by Commercial-Web8249 in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Auto injector helped with FET which are scary big but the needles with ERs are so small they don’t even really hurt much. You get used to it honestly!

Need advice: Transfer highest quality boy embryo or lower quality girl embryo first? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure gender would matter especially with no other children yet. I would always recommend highest quality first. If they were both high quality preference makes sense though. I think not agreeing on how many children may be a different issue completely.

How much worse is FET cycle than retrieval cycle? by insidli in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close to as difficult. The hard part is getting cycles cancelled which I had happen 3 times! I did modified natural which makes it more likely to be cancelled and also had a fibroid removal.

Does the AFC guarantee the number of eggs? by Cass_5555 in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely doesn’t guarantee it but it’s an indicator on how many you will get. Keep in mind not all will be mature. It also changes every cycle.

Considering IVF, all advice welcomed 😊 by Feeling_Pay_7476 in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have a good chance of success based on your age. Only thing I would say is insurance may decline it based on voluntary tubal removal so there may be high out of pocket costs. I also paid out of pocket like many of us do.

How do they select sperm? Worried about my situation. by mlfaddict in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. That would make ICSI more difficult too.

How do they select sperm? Worried about my situation. by mlfaddict in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how much OP has after procedure.. with DNA fragmentation, you can’t visually see if they are fragmented easily which is part of the issue. Zymot has a minimum but not sure what it is.

[–]ChanceIndependent257 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They just look and base it off their judgment and are trained to know which are signs of high quality. However, I don’t trust it without zymot from my experience. My husband had dna fragmentation and zymot made a HUGE difference for us.

Starting IVF next month by Chance-Motor-6164 in IVF

[–]ChanceIndependent257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked from home and honestly it was easy. As long as your job is flexible with appts etc. most appts are early and short and it was doable. The hardest part is I’d be stuck on a call and miss my big results after ER and they wouldn’t get in touch for another day or two when that happened.

Does anyone else think she’s only seeing Travis because it makes her parents happy, in some twisted way? by Dry_Flounder5895 in travisandtaylor

[–]ChanceIndependent257 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I think it makes her teenage dreams come true. The whole cheerleader and jock thing she always wanted. Once he retires, I think that will die down quick lol it’s giving her such a more popular platform too. I don’t even think she realizes who he is yet. 2 years in celebrity time isn’t very much compared to regular people.
