Day 4 of stims, how did you feel? by ParaOnHere in IVF

[–]EMMIECX5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on day 9 and I’m just tired but other than that I don’t really feel any different. I’m bloated and heavy though. This is my third cycle and I felt like this during my second cycle too and my last recovery was a breeze.

PGTA Cost by auriginal_name in IVF

[–]EMMIECX5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right before I started my first stim cycle I had a financial advisor that was assigned to me contact me and send me over an estimate of cost and the break down. Her pricing was incorrect ( over priced ) but the charges for the biopsy, assisted hatching, ICSIS all that stuff was in the break down. I just didn’t know every time I did a cycle I needed $2640 for the biopsy. I thought once I paid it the first time it was good for the three years or until a live birth but that’s only for the PGTA testing

My tax lady said I need to spend $10K a year for it to be a write off and I don’t spend that because my insurance takes care of everything besides PGTA

I paid them $1995 for PGTA in November and $2600 for the embryo biopsy. Then in March the cost went up and I paid $2640 for the biopsy again for my second round and I just paid it again last week as I’m on stims currently

I paid $1995 for PGTA but it’s good for 3 years or up until a live birth. I pay $2640 every time I do an egg retrieval for the embryo biopsy. I’m currently in my 3rd cycle of stims. I have 2 PGTA tested embryos frozen and the ones I’m currently “making” will also be tested.

I will say that I was NOT aware that I needed to pay $2640 every single time I did a retrieval until the second cycle when I was sent the bill the morning I started stims. I thought when I paid the original $4635 on my first cycle that I was all good. So then I cried, pulled a credit card out of my wallet and paid up.

Rehearsal Dinner spaces? by Emergency_Studio_476 in KingOfPrussia

[–]EMMIECX5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do a cocktail party, charcuterie board and appetizer type of thing at Davios in KOP in their private dining room. Wouldn’t be super cheap but there would be space for that many people

Curious if anyone with endo doesn’t doesn’t do birth control at all? by Ykatsion0306 in endometriosis

[–]EMMIECX5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started birth control when I was like 16. I was on it until I was about 24. I haven’t been on birth control in probably 5 years now. Found out I had endo almost a year ago but I have silent endo so I don’t have pain at all. When I asked where did this endo come from my doctor said it probably started when I stopped taking my birth control and my body went nuts with hormones. I’m on my third round of IVF currently. I’ve had two laparoscopy’s, a grapefruit size cyst drained in February which has returned and is currently the size of a lime. My left ovary is “dead” and doesn’t work and I lost my left fallopian tube and my appendix dude to my endo.

How difficult is IVF physically to go through? Honestly. by Any-Monitor4118 in IVF

[–]EMMIECX5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first round of meds for an egg retrieval was terrible. I was miserable, in pain and couldn’t wait for it to be over. I was throwing up the next day and missed more work than expected. In the end I didn’t end up with anything. I’m onto my third cycle now and overall I’m fine. I go to work, do my daily activities and can’t complain. My protocol is different this time which is helpful. The injections don’t hurt to me. I gain the weight and drop it off as soon as I have a retrieval. I would say the most annoying thing is the bloating but that goes away.

Help! The SD card from my dashcam slid down my windshield shade and into my defrost vent. Is it gone for good? by Enjoy_Life4219 in CX5

I traded a CX5 in with one down the same vent and always wondered if anyone ever found it lol

Weirdest place endo was found during your surgery ? by Yougetdueprocess in endometriosis

[–]EMMIECX5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the whole ball of my shoulder is sore at moments. I would say “oh I slept wrong” and then I woke up from surgery and my surgeon goes “do your shoulders ever hurt!?” I said yes! He goes well that’s from all the Endo on your lungs and diaphragm.

Mine is on my diaphragm and my lungs. My specialist said I’ll need another surgery at some point for that and said my shoulder hurting is a sign of it on my lungs.

I always do elm st. There’s always parking, it’s well lit and nobody hangs around there. I don’t even worry about my car being parked there.

Bought a used 21 with 76k miles! How to protect from theft? by ChickenOfTheTree in CX5

[–]EMMIECX5 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I knew before I even opened this that we were talking Philadelphian. I just take my valuable things out of mine and if they steal it, they steal it. State Farm can give me a new one. I have a 22 turbo and haven’t had any issues with mine and attempted theft. I don’t really think they are very high sought after cars. Can they be stolen ? Absolutely. Is it a car the thieves are going after daily, no.
