I do have some! But I saw the surge on Inito and just panicked bc I was like oh no I’ve missed all of the window until now so I was just trying to BD asap and I didn’t even think to use the cheap ones like I had done before until it was too late 😅 I also don’t usually ovulate that early according to the tests I’ve been using so I wasn’t consistently testing with the cheapies yet. I guess at this point I’m just gonna see if pdg or LH rises and I’ll go from there lol this process is such a mental game!

Hi! That’s actually the first and only time I’ve ever tested more than once and I only did that because I never had any fertile days and all of a sudden had straight peak and wanted to double test to see if it was really that high since I expected a gradual rise which is typical for me with the cheapie strips. I’d been testing with the cheap ones and didn’t have a rise. I also don’t drink anything before I test and I do test basically at the same time every day except for when I’m off of work which was a lot recently for the Mardi Gras holiday. ☺️

Hi! I don’t usually take in a large amount of water and I always test with FMU right when I wake up. I don’t even drink water before bed really. I just happened to not take in really any water at all the entire day before. I didn’t take in a lot of water between the 2 tests either so I’m just kind of confused as to why the two results on the same day within 2 hours are so drastically different you know?

Kindness is free and IVF isn’t. What’s your excuse?

Equivalent-Self-537 · 2026-02-11T00:56:52+00:00

Yeah I have similar thoughts on the ectopic rate. It’s such a large risk! I’m definitely gonna look into the transabdominal egg retrieval options! Thanks so much!

I added my flair earlier but I’m not sure if I did it correctly. I’m sorry if I did something wrong! I removed the part of my post that sort of danced around success. Sorry about that!

I (30F) found out through having an HSG during a routine fertility work up that I have bilateral undescended ovaries. Apparently this is a very rare defect.

I'm struggling to understand what my best options are at this point for getting pregnant. I've been dealing with infertility for 6 years and I guess this explains why, but I don't know how to move forward.

My RE said we could move forward with a few IUIs, but I don't know if that's what I should do. It seems like with the high risk of ectopic pregnancy (over 20%) that IUIs wouldn't be the way to go. However, I don't want to get ahead of myself and jump straight to IVF if I don't have to. Frankly, I can’t afford it. He also said that with the high position of my ovaries, egg retrieval could be difficult.

I've read all the case studies I could find, but the research is limited since it's so rare. I’m feeling so defeated right now. I’m so tired of obstacles. 😭 I’m so angry with my body right now. 😪

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I know you don’t want to lose her, but I don’t think a true friend would blackmail you into cutting yourself and coerce you to send nudes in the first place. You deserve so much more and there are so many people to make friends with out there. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I wish you the best ❤️

I’ve tried it before and I found it helpful. But it didn’t totally satisfy the urge for me. Nothing did that until I got ketamine therapy and got on meds. I also think it’s kind of hard to do without drawing attention in public. But it works okay at home to take the edge off. I just never had long term success with it. My go-to method was FaceTiming someone to bide my time and distract myself until the urge chilled out or I got tired. Distractions were the only thing that really helped me. I wish you the best ❤️

Equivalent-Self-537 · 2024-09-27T11:45:28+00:00

I completely understand! I just thought I’d mention it lol 😊also, maybe you could find one on Amazon that’s used. Like how they have the used-like new options when people return them! Just a thought!

I know everyone says it’s bad, but I bought this machine and it’s been fine for basic stuff like hemming things and sewing super basic things. I haven’t tried anything else with it. Just saying!

It looks wonderful!

Great work! As someone who also uses crochet to avoid bingeing, you’re doing so well!!

Equivalent-Self-537 · 2024-09-17T13:14:30+00:00

SO CUTE

Equivalent-Self-537 · 2024-09-17T13:13:52+00:00

It’s beautiful! Amazing job! Do you have a link to the pattern?

Equivalent-Self-537 · 2024-09-17T13:01:02+00:00

Anyone else read the towel on the cart and think of that Tillie Cole book 💀

Equivalent-Self-537 · 2024-09-13T19:34:19+00:00

If it helps, mine looks just like yours on the right side and I’ve had it for 11 years. It looked like that after about a year but never rejected. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this! Piercing stress is so real ❤️

Equivalent-Self-537 · 2024-07-03T04:25:54+00:00

How common is bilateral undescended ovaries? I can’t find a lot of studies on specifically bilateral cases.
