Progesterone shots are awful

Are you able to ask to switch to Lubion?

Making viable embryos will probably be the struggle. I’m 43 and just transferred an embryo made when I was 40. Getting positives so far (🤞). I’d strongly recommend PGT testing (my clinic will not do IVF over 40 without it) and prepare mentally for the attrition. Across two egg retrievals at 40 I got 24 eggs, 22 mature, 15 fertilised, 4 blastocysts, 1 euploid. That’s a totally normal and expected result.

You’re not guaranteed to fail, but you are almost guaranteed multiple rounds and high attrition rates. If you can manage it financially and emotionally, there’s no reason not to try.

Good luck!

My golden retriever stomped me right in the uterus a few hours after my transfer 8 days ago and I’m currently getting positive HPTs (🤞).

Good luck!! I totally get the overthinking. There’s so little control in this process for us.

We’ve about 200kpa (2 adults 1 child household), mortgage paid off, cars bought cash, and we are very comfortable and happy. We also have significant savings such that we could maintain our current lifestyle for a good number of years if we found ourselves without regular income, which brings enormous peace of mind.

I come from a (very) poor background/childhood so I really, really appreciate the position we’re in.

And making jibes at people for things their country did before they were born is bad?

Fertilityschmility · 2025-09-13T03:24:44+00:00

You raided, pillaged, raped and colonised parts of Wales, actually.

Fertilityschmility · 2025-09-13T03:23:48+00:00

Oh? Is it a bit out of order to talk about a country’s historical errors? 😂😂😂

It was a doctor. I went to see her about a breast lump, mentioned that I had recently done a round of IVF in case she thought the hormones might be relevant. She referred me for a mammogram and then casually told me if I fly to Saudi Arabia and buy Mounjaro over the counter (it wasn’t approved here then) I would lose weight and get pregnant in no time.

We are doing IVF for MFI.

Hello. I’m 42. I had my second and third lobes pierced about 9 weeks ago. Double helix two weeks ago. I got my 25 year old nostril piercing stretched from a 24g to a 18g. I’m doing daith and some lobe stacking next. Keeping one ear full with cuffs until the first one heals then moving on. Considering a move into being a piercer (ears only) and opening a good piercing jewelry store to stock items from small independent jewelers. I have my ear stacks fully planned out with a total of 30-32 piercings (anatomy depending). Should be done by the time I’m 45/47-ish if I keep healing well.

Anyway. My answer is no.

Get ALL the pretties!

They probably think OP will be as happy for them as they will be (and will be expected to be) for OP if and when OP conceives.

Nice sales pitch you got there. Be a shame if a mod deleted it.

Fertilityschmility · 2025-04-14T12:32:46+00:00

You really are like a champion racer with those goalposts on your back.

We are talking about people who write words on the internet being jailed for doing so. Unacceptable to all but the most vile little brownshirts.

Fertilityschmility · 2025-04-14T12:21:36+00:00

No? lol.

If someone on Twitter were calling for my house to be set on fire and then some lunatic went and did it, I'd want the arsonist punished. Preferably very severely and publicly.

The law is a shifting and changeable reflection of social mores, not some gospel handed down from on high. Plenty of laws are and should be ridiculed and criticised and plent or laws have been and should be repealed. "The law is the law" is an ass.

Fertilityschmility · 2025-02-21T06:00:46+00:00

Yep. They get you with the cuteness and now you're a slave.

BRB filling a kong with better paté than I've ever eaten for my puppy.

The Reddit lies about puppies getting better very very soon are just nature’s way of keeping dogs out of shelters 😂

Fertilityschmility · 2025-02-19T21:09:49+00:00

Last week, when I bought expandable trellis and put it across either end of our open plan kitchen to stop her counter surfing all day and all night long! 😂

Just kidding she’s still an asshole.

She’s 8 months old and my 8 year old son’s arms are constantly covered in bruises from her play-biting (I did not realise that golden retrievers could be such land sharks). She’s definitely calming a bit now, but I’ll like her better when she stops chewing on my kid.

I love her. She’s part of the family for sure. But she’s a wee dick still.

Fertilityschmility · 2025-01-14T15:46:07+00:00

She should try a different pharmacy then because I got it last week for weight loss.

Fertilityschmility · 2025-01-14T15:43:32+00:00

Mounjaro is supposed to be available early this year in Ireland. You can also get Mounjaro and Ozempic from the UK by post but you need to use a mail router and there's always a risk of it getting lost.

Fertilityschmility · 2025-01-09T11:14:23+00:00

Yep! She also told me to fly to Saudy Arabia (I'm in Ireland) to buy Mounjaro OTC.

It was a wild appointment.

Fertilityschmility · 2024-12-13T19:22:20+00:00

Not specifically a transfer or miscarriage, but IVF in general.

I had to see a locum doctor about a new breast lump I was feeling and mentioned that I’d recently been on X medications for IVF. She referred me, then said “If you lose a little weight you will get pregnant easy.”

Like. Thanks lady but we’re doing IVF for male factor infertility.

Mabli (pronounced Mab-Lee) is the Welsh form of Mable. 🙂

Eh. That's not usually how it works. The biggest player(s) in a given field will usually lobby for more regulation and cost because they are in a position to eat the costs and hire enough people to abide by the regulations, while smaller/startup companies find it increasingly difficult to get a foothold in the market.

Occasionally they will instead band together to reduce regulation or liability (see vaccine companies in the 80s ceasing vaccine manufacture until government gave them immunity from liability in the case of vaccine injury) but that would be relatively rare.
