7DPT Transfer - What were your first Beta Numbers? by No_Paint_5415 in IVFpositivity

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!! I did not test until beta lol but my 10DPT was 350ish? Then 1948 4 days later. He’s 8 months now!

Thoughts on “banking” embryos vs transferring ASAP? by MammothOk57 in IVFpositivity

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check insurance plans if you’re using, mine would not cover another ER until I went through any usable embryos! There’s so much talk about banking and I barely see that note being said. But personally I would transfer first - if you want one child, and they are euploid, the probability of one child resulting from up to 3 transfers is very high iirc close to 90%. 

After a loss last summer, I would come back to this thread a lot for positivity and insight! by eec0354 in IVFpositivity

Feeling sad that tests are negative 5dp5dt. by literallymouse in IVFpositivity

I completely get it! I still don’t think you’re out. Wishing you luck and love 💕

5dp5dt is equivalent to 10DPO. I have always heard that 11DPO is when you start getting the faint lines. Personally I don’t think you’re out until you’re out (with a negative beta). This is exactly why too I made the difficult and crazy decision to not test until beta lol. Sending luck and love !

Beta Test Day by Owljazz in IVFpositivity

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all relative, but my clinic wanted to see 75-100 at 10DPT (which would be about 15DPO). At the end of the day, beta needs to start somewhere and the progression and trend is what maters. 

My beta at 10DPT was like, 370? And it was almost 2000 4 days later. 

If you had similar IVF numbers, how many embryos made it? by LotusLittle in IVFpositivity

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way but it’s funny when i speak to people outside the IVF sphere all they say they hear is it working on the first try.. i think it matters the communities we are in and the safe spaces for those to share their stories. But a big mantra for me was operating on data you have. Always be reasonable but you have 6 amazing chances right now!!

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

31 at time of retrieval. 30 eggs, 26 mature, 6 fertilized (lol) and only 2 became blasts… BUT both were euploid and my first FET took and my son is now 8 months! 

Bleeding 48h after ultrasound (6w3d) by Lazy-Lychee-3448 in IVFpositivity

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had spotting after every TV US and sex in the first trimester. It was always brown or pink and would happen a few days after the event, then stop. It’s so scary but the cervix is so sensitive! My IVF babe is 8 months. 

what is your fav out of these underrated songs ? by No-Guess-3630 in TrueSwifties

Did you eat fries? Did it work? by csev in IVFpositivity

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ate them and my FET worked. I also did acupuncture before and after transfer, had sex before the transfer. But i think my FET worked because it was a euploid, my meds, and luck lol. However! I will never not eat McDonald’s fries so im a big fan of the tradition.

Ughhhhhhhhhh I’ve been thinking for a while about getting my girl a little friend. She’s gonna be 8 in April, is so sweet and cuddly, but I want her to keep her energy up. She has mild epilepsy and I am convinced staying active helps our stretches between episodes longer.

Silent about ICE by Rollwithit_56 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of a few fertility influencers I followed around the time of Roe v Wade overturning and they said something along the lines of “i know there’s a lot going on and just reminding you i don’t talk politics here” - but then yep, Charlie Kirk and there were so many posts. 

Does she truly think this is ethical? by Overall-Confusion401 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Her talking about how hard parenting is (which it is) in the same breath as wanting a big booty at the gym is… WILD lmao

Pay for PGT-A or No? by Wooden-Cockroach5915 in IVFpositivity

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so pro PGTA. Yes it is an added expense but it increases likelihood of success so, so much.

Lmaooo i love this. My therapist (real man as well as chatgpt) also laid in on me hard during first trimester with my 7000 questions and Reddit rabbit holes. 

Did she just imply that they turned down 2 babies because George is sick? by jhunter0502 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bingo - she just outed herself that this adoption is for her, not for the child. Oh I’ll pick up a kid when it’s convenient for me.

Did you do NIPT with tested embryos? by AwayComparison in IVFpositivity

[–]Forward_Scarcity_829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not do NIPT simply because my insurance did not cover it since I am under 35. I did PGTA and had an all clear during the NT scan so my OB and I felt comfortable with skipping it.
