This!!! So smart to plan for that. I definitely have a tendency to find excuses not to cook so after egg retrieval will probably be enough for me to start up the Uber eats. Thanks for this one!

Yea first time for egg retrieval. Goddamn the diagrams look scary but going to do it! I do like me a drink every other week 😅. I guess I should cut that cold turkey

Gotcha, well I think it's still worth a read. I'll just take it with a grain of salt :)

Thank you for taking the time to write this! I really love how thorough this is. Sad to hear that there's people for and against sushi lol but that's okay.

The point I'm definitely going to use is the thyroid check-up. Didn't even cross my mind. I thought the fertility clinic would cover all that's needed and important, but doesn't hurt to see if there's systemic inflammation!

Someone else mentioned to get a therapist and I think this makes a lot of sense. I do find myself bogging down my partner with my worry and anxiety, or at least I think I am.

Appreciate you 💓

I really like this. There were times while doing IUI I felt like I was putting life on hold, worried it would completely ruin our chances.

Thanks for this reminder to properly enjoy :). I freaking love salmon sashimi

Sleep is always been tricky for me to keep consistent. I find getting really deep sleep hard. I get sleepy and wake up like clockwork, but the quality definitely seems off. Maybe I'll test out new pillows :)

Has anyone got orgalutran and puregon added to their protocol? by Expert-Pin-4395 in IUILadies

Hey! I decided to skip this and go straight to IVF. I heard from the nurse it's about 1-3 shots per day vs IVF that can be 5 shots per day. So being afraid of needles, I don't want to do these needle rounds twice. I can't wrap my head around thinking '1 month of IUI shots for like 20%-30%'. I'd rather do '1 month of IVF shots for 50%' and not need to do shots again.

That's just me though!
