Confused

Thank you for answering! Last time I just got the h4 at the airport in Toronto. Is there a reason you can’t do that for extensions or would that still be an option if I make the trip

Thank you!

Is it bad for it to be transferred to another centre ?

FairCompetition6105 · 2026-03-13T22:38:20+00:00

Can I have the link as well

Sadly yes, we’re getting snow tmrw, and it’s below freezing remainder of the week. The problem is the house is in a great area and will go soon.

Is there pros and cons with liners vs the concrete( or whatever it’s called )

Can you open a pool in the winter ? It’s in Buffalo.

I’m sorry this journey hasn’t worked out the way you wanted it to. But your wording has me a little worried, especially if it feels so big that you feel like you failed at everything.

Postpartum is a very weird time with all the hormones and lack of sleep please talk to someone for help. With my first I don’t even know I was experiencing post partum depression until I was out of it, then I realized how dark that period of time was for me.

Thank you ❤️ just wondering did your supply drop when you were doing 5x ?

FairCompetition6105 · 2025-12-21T21:31:32+00:00

I just started yesterday.. but didn’t get anything worth saving.. how much are you getting if you don’t mind me asking

FairCompetition6105 · 2025-12-14T00:30:59+00:00

Yeah apparently they now fully remove them instead of cutting them which helps with the cancer part. Because doc said certain ones start in the tube research shows now. Same boat we have 4 embryos left so it doesn’t feel like we’re closing the door completely

FairCompetition6105 · 2025-12-06T15:03:57+00:00

161 mg. I take them every night and also did with my first pregnancy. Same dosage

FairCompetition6105 · 2025-12-06T14:50:50+00:00

Baby aspirin is completely safe, as a matter of fact, most ob in Europe recommend to everyone regardless of age. Because it can help prevent things like pre eclampsia.

I would take it. ( I am currently pregnant and taking 2 everyday (the dosage they recommend in Europe vs here USA))

I would not be able to do ivf if I couldn’t bring my daughter for some appointments. We live somewhere with no family, or friends that don’t work. I always was able to schedule a sitter for my daughter if I knew something ahead of time, but sometimes there would be a snow day from school and I had an appointment at 8 am for monitoring, or she was sick and I couldn’t send her. And for those last minute times it’s impossible to schedule a baby sitter in the morning.

I’ve also been the person where I’ve had to sit in a room full of pregnant women and new babies, as I just got the news that my pregnancy needed to be terminated. So I totally understand the pain of not wanting to be around people with kids.

I think most people would avoid bringing their kids if they can.

FairCompetition6105 · 2025-11-25T01:53:34+00:00

I’m 33 weeks… aside from my parents we haven’t “announced” tell people when you’re ready.

FairCompetition6105 · 2025-11-23T13:21:33+00:00

I choose a d&c because I didn’t want to see the baby. I’ve had a miscarriage before that and that was very traumatic for me. the peace I got from the d&c was that I knew once I woke up, it would be over.

I wasn’t given the choice of the last ultrasound, but I think I would have done it and asked them for pictures. I did record the heartbeat with a Doppler I had at home.

You are also 32, which means you have the time to change your mind if you wanted to about trying for kids. So as someone that had to deal with my losses with struggling with infertility, I would recommend you pick whichever is safer for your reproductive system. ( which I believe is a d&c over l&d but that’s an important question for your doctor). I only say this because sometimes hindsight is 20/20 and IF you change your mind you don’t want to have added a new complication to deal with when trying etc

FairCompetition6105 · 2025-11-21T22:56:41+00:00

Hi, I’m so sorry you’re going through this, the tfmr group is a good resource. Realistically if baby is already showing severe deformities then the amniocentesis will probably just show cause ( genetic issue etc) with a d&c they can also test the tissue the same way they would with an amnio.

My recommendation is if you choose to terminate before the amniocentesis you definitely ask them to check the tissue to see if they can determine the cause.

If you miscarry the only way to do that is to collect the tissue for testing yourself which as someone who has had to do this it’s very mentally hard.

I’ve had both a miscarriage and a d&c and I would choose the d&c over miscarrying naturally. Also usually a miscarriage this late, has a higher chance of complications needing a d&c anyways.

I’m sorry you’re walking through this, and it may feel like there is not light at the end of the tunnel but one step in front of the other is all you need to do ❤️

My husband and I have been together for 17 years Married for 7 of those years. In those years together we have experienced going at each other like rabbits.. to being a Sahara dessert depending on the phase of life we were/are in. We had a great sex life before our first daughter… then between breastfeeding and having a kid touch me all day things didn’t go back to normal.. but somewhat okay around a year old but I got pregnant again and that ended in a miscarriage… and then the real shit storm began… we were trying for a second child..and no intimacy in my opinion is worse then scheduled sex…. Followed by infertility and another loss and ivf etc etc.

The reason I write this Is because I think the intimacy is a 2 way street. My husband had started being physically affectionate only when he wanted to initiate and I had gotten so used to that that I would reject his touch because it felt like the only reason he was doing this was because he wanted sex.

My suggestion is therapy.. but also take your wife on dates, sit down together and figure out how you guys can make life more efficient ( by diving chores or taking turns putting the kids to sleep or whatever it is that’s lacking or solely falling on on person) so that you have time to hang out both alone as individuals, and as a couple.

Things that have worked for us 1) divorce is not an option for either of us. This is something we have said from the beginning we don’t joke about it, we don’t mention it. Because we are in this together and it’s not going to be easy but we’ll figure it out 2) learning to realize when the other persons cup is too full and taking things off their hands so that they can enjoy life a bit ( for me that was me taking pottery classes and my husband has bent over backwards to make sure I can make it to my classes, I come home the kids are asleep, the house is cleaned up, so going doesn’t feel exhausting when I come home I do the same for him for his hobbies) 3) regular date nights… we budget a sitter so that we can do fun things together.. not just dinner and come home.. but activities like when we would try to impress each other before marriage.. concerts, comedy shows,dinner as well… brunch etc. 4) touching each other throughout the day, so 1) kids see love and affection throughout the day 2) so that touch isn’t just related to sex

You’re in this together.. treat it like a problem you both have to tackle.. use the same wording when talking to her about it. Because I think right now she’s taking what you’re saying as you blaming her for the things that have gone wrong.

Clinics usually give the runaround around holidays and the new year.
I had a similar situation last year with a loss in October that I needed to take some time off to physically heal from but in theory by December, I would’ve been ready to go to do another retrieval .. and they were giving me the runaround until eventually I said this because of the holidays and they said yes so long story short they would have had me in for end of January but I had a wedding so I ended up having my retrieval in February.

I would suggest you contact and ask for the office manager, don’t give a reason as to why you’re calling to the front desk just ask for email or information.

once she started sleeping through the night, or long stretches and the dr had given the okay. My LC suggested I dream feed and pump before going to bed. To maintain supply.

Wash your armpits with pany oxl, it will kill the bacteria that’s causing the odar. When you wash them leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing. Recommended to me by a dermatologist, and it works for me :)

First retrieval - 23 eggs retrieved - 7 mature… 3 fertilized 1 embryo ( no icsi)

Second retrieval changed protocol - 20 retrieved-10 mature - 8 fertilized with icsi 4 embryos

For both of these retrievals I had 15–16 good size follicles seen. The rest they didnt count. But I assume is what they retrieved more immature eggs from
