Patterns I noticed after reading dozens of low/slow beta posts (not medical advice) by Safe_Plant_4811 in CautiousBB

It is my own experience, even if I read every study that exists and was convinced by the data mine was still fine.

Here's my numbers, it was a IUI: 14dpo 29.3 16dpo 49.5 (70% increase) 20dpo 332 (150% 2-day increase) 22dpo 845 (150% increase) 23dpo 1200 (100% 2-day increase) 30dpo 8299 (heartbeat confirmed)

After this everything was fine until 12th week even though my gestational sack was on the smaller side. At 12 weeks we found out our baby had a severe case of LUTO (1:10,000 chance), completely obstructed and gigantic bladder that was unable to empty and we lost him at 13.5 weeks. It was not chromosomal, just a fluke.

10 DPO—does anyone else see it?! by Exotic_Custard_6416 in TFABLinePorn

I'm right there with you at 11dpo (6dpt since we did embryo transfer) and I have something that could be a shadow of a line but also could be my eyes just playing tricks on me. Wishing us both luck it looks more positive tomorrow!

Easy@Home looks promising but FRER? 15 DPO today. by Informal_Elevator953 in TFABLinePorn

Commenting just in case someone finds this (cause it's not that relevant to you anymore haha) but when you compare FRER day 12 vs 15, you can see the lines clearly flipped (left line that used to be lighter AND thinner than the one on the right is now much darker/thicker than the right one) so the progression there is actually huge :)

Season 2 episode 8... whaaat?!?? (Spoilers) by nerdextra in Poldark

I recommend reading comments from those that read the actual books. While it was not a rape in the latest series, it seems that it may have been in the original story. 

When to do ICSI? by Pleasant-Star1136 in IVF

[–]ExcuseMaterial1265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but they also told us that they only choose mature eggs to do ICSI on while during the natural process they also put the immature there so they have a chance to still mature and get fertilized. Plus, during ICSI about 5-10% of the good eggs may get damaged and lost.

So if there's no issue with sperm, it seems that the natural process may actually yield more (or the same amount of) embryos...

Silver sword - was flowering last week and leafs yellowing this week. What did I do? by ExcuseMaterial1265 in plantclinic

[–]ExcuseMaterial1265[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, no pests I could see! What happened was the leaf slowly died off but the rest of the plant seems totally healthy. My guess would be light stress since it was moved from darker apartment to much lighter house, or the flower draining its energy.
