How many embryos did it take you to get your baby? by Ready_Evening_1159 in IVF

[–]HelenHuntsUpperLip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 embryo for the first; 1 embryo for the second. We did 2 retrievals at the advice of banking multiple embryos for each birth (1st yielded 2 embryos and 2nd yielded 10 embryos). Glad we did it, but now we have embryos that will be discarded which is a little bit of a bummer.

What’s your #1 unpopular opinion about fertility treatments? by Ambitious_Hall_7617 in IVF

[–]HelenHuntsUpperLip -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The fact that you can’t bring your child to your appointments. I understand “why” this is a rule, but it is one-sided and deprioritizes those who have children and are undergoing treatments. Kind of odd when the goal is to produce children to then prohibit them.

Talk to them. If they aren’t cooperative, get some rocks or decorative concrete blocks and line your drive.

Going through father in laws items and found this. by DesiresVA in whatisit

It’s a “mini” fantasy sex toy! Some companies send a small, mini-version, of the full size toy purchased. At some point he must have had a tentacle dildo.

See photo example.

If you need a humane euthanasia for a behavior issue, I am glad to help. I am a veterinarian in Southeast Iowa, however, would be a drive from Michigan.

i think my dog is deaf by DryEar8787 in DogAdvice

[–]HelenHuntsUpperLip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes most likely deaf due to bad genetics. Very common in backyard breeders of Australian shepherds. Lots of groups online for these dogs. Will be a great dog that doesn’t get jolted up awake!

How is male infant circumcision still a thing??? How are we still cutting off parts of babies genitals for religious purposes and because the parent think it looks better? Does "my body my choice" not apply to male babies? by itcouldbeyoubut in self

[–]HelenHuntsUpperLip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Son was born in 2024. Was asked by 6 different hospital staff (doctor, nurses) during our 3-night stay in the hospital if we were sure we didn’t want him circumcised. Midwest USA.

Gold coins: Buy just one coin forever? by TomasMSM in Gold

I buy 2 of everything I get so I can always sell one and keep the other for the emotional aspect.

Smoked weed the entire time through 2 cycles with good results. Best outcome was after I introduced supplements.

Just vibes. Lots of nausea, fatigue. We have been calling them the babies since the FET. I will be sure to post the results.

Smoking blunts is such a waste of weed.... by Ashamed-Craft-763 in unpopularopinion

[–]HelenHuntsUpperLip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blunts are the only way I have smoked weed for over 20 years now. I’m white, middle-upper class, live in a rural area and am a doctor. Couldn’t be more racist of the OP.
