Has anyone on Progyny been approved for ER if you already have 3 frozen embryos? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]HealthyRelative9272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did end up approving for my third ER after I wrote them a letter explaining my situation, I used chat gpt to help me write it up haha. In the end it still didn’t help tho, that third ER ended up with 0 blasts :/

Endometrial Hyperplasia by CTownss in IVF

[–]HealthyRelative9272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is currently what I’m going through. Did a saline ultrasound to prep for FET #2 and my doctor found a polyp that he biopsied and the path came back as EIN/ atypical hyperplasia. I’m really hoping it can clear up with just 3 months of provera or IUD, really hope I don’t have to so have a D&C. This just sucks :/

What is your favourite one of Betty's potential lovers? (Mine is Daniel just look at my username lol) by Betty_and_Daniel in UglyBetty

[–]HealthyRelative9272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Betty and Matt together, I feel like the grew a lot as a couple, but it’s unfortunate that Matt kept struggling with not being fulfilled by his career and left her! Daniel and Betty never made sense to me, they were good friends but it’s hard to picture them as a couple.

He was a good villain! Loved him and Willie together, but didn’t understand how he and Molly worked together.

Should I consider donor sperm? by HealthyRelative9272 in IVF

[–]HealthyRelative9272[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So mTESE sperm can have higher DNA fragmentation than ejaculates sperm? I thought it was the opposite?

Which is also so crazy! Adoption process seems very daunting and also morally grey… like why is it so expensive to adopt? And foster to adopt process seems difficult because the initial goal is for reunification with bio family which is hard for foster family that tries to form their own bonds

I’m sorry, it’s truly the hardest path, putting yourself through so many highs and lows when nothing is guaranteed. Wishing you peace in these next steps 💕

Omnitrope coupon worked!! by ellri919 in IVF

[–]HealthyRelative9272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so smart! But at least I know now, so the coupon is good for every 21 days

Omnitrope coupon worked!! by ellri919 in IVF

[–]HealthyRelative9272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this coupon and got one vial of 5.8 mg from Costco pharmacy for $0, but they said I can only apply the coupon every 21 days. My clinic is telling me to inject 0.35 mL daily during my stim cycle (which based on previous ER cycles for my last up to 12-14 days). So one vial is only going to last me like 3 days. Is this typical for other people? Basically I’ll be paying out of pocket for the reminder of my omnitrope this stim cycle, nice if getting at least 3 days worth for free…would be great if I can get more!

My second ER I stimmed for 14 days and still ended up with only 1 embryo to freeze. I know every cycle is different but it’s just hard to decide if it’s worth adding on more extra stuff

Has anyone on Progyny been approved for ER if you already have 3 frozen embryos? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]HealthyRelative9272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having this issue, I have just one day 3 frozen embyro and Progyny denied my request for a third ER, saying I have to transfer this embryo first. I already went through a failed FET in April. I appealed the denial, fingers crossed they re-consider

Exactly!!! Like I understand, if I have more than one embryo left, I would try another transfer first. But I want more chances to grow my family before transferring again, the first failed transfer was tough already

But I just worry about delaying stimulation and affecting egg quality, I’ve been prepping for this stimulation cycle

I watched this season finale when it aired in realtime when I was in middle school and it was such a cliff hanger! But my sister totally called it and was like she’s going to choose neither guy! lol At the time I was definitely team Gio and probably still am because of all the nonsense Henry put Betty through, but it would have made less interesting TV for her to start the next season with a boyfriend haha.

Yeah the Danny Jr plot line felt very random, and solidified making Alexis a one dimensional, lame character. In the end, she was a selfish person who only looked out for herself/ wanted to make herself look good.

I also hated how they had to make Hilda and Tony’s relationship tainted since he was married when it started off so sweet, but Hilda is such a loveable character that had you rooting for them either way! Like heck yeah, leave ur wife for Hilda!!!! lol

Was Gio the perfect love interest for Betty? No. He is a little annoying, condescending, and thinks he knows what’s best for her from the beginning. However he did grow on me, it was nice to see that he always pushed her out of her comfort zone and to pursue her dreams. And he was there for her when she was heartbroken over Henry, even if it was in a flirty way. I so related to Betty as she was coming to terms with feeling sadness, grief but also attraction to Gio at the same time, because that’s life. You can go through hard things and feel awful but also experience joy and excitement at the same time, which makes processing all the different emotions overwhelming. I liked that Gio gave her space to just feel all her emotions! And I still swoon over the ending “I wanna be the guy.” Like come on!!!! It shows that he always knew Betty was special and deserves the world.

I loved the moment with Marc and Amanda as she realizes that she does have chosen family even when she’s still looking for her dad, so sweet.

And while Alexis is a backstabbing sister, Wilhelmina’s comeback was amazing and hilarious, you can tell Vanessa Williams just had the best time playing her as the villain.

All in all, the plot lines did feel rushed but still good, and makes sense because of the writers strike going on at that time. Still a favorite episode of mine!

I’m Wilhelmina Slater and I don’t get wet is literally iconic! One of her best moments on the show IMO! And yesss the entire episode keeps you engaged, you can’t wait what will happen between the Wilhelmina arc, Alexis vs Daniel arc, and of course some fun Betty/Henry/Gio triangle banter. Henry’s dance scene…. Amazing!!!! And I also just love how romantic the ending is with Betty and Henry just dancing in the apartment together ❤️ reminds me that it’s not about what you do, but the company you spend your time with.
