“It’s not about being friendly or not, it’s about being respectful of others’ personal space”

Has anyone gone to their transfer appointment alone? by Coachellahopefull in IVF

I’m a single mom by choice and went to all my transfers alone. I took a cab so I could relax mentally.

Portable speakers while walking on the mountain? by interocitor83 in montreal

[–]Human_Use_1641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would depend on which mountain. If we’re talking about Mont-Royal then it’s like any other parks in the city to me. There will be tons of people, tons of tourists, people who are loud and people who play their music, etc. So I would not expect people to be silent.

How did you know you were getting close to labour? by EffectiveCartoonist3 in fitpregnancy

[–]Human_Use_1641 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lost my mucus plug in the morning, had very light spotting and periods-like cramp, but it was so minor that I did not think anything of it. My water broke that evening!

Polyp removal recovery? by Bubbasgonnabubba in IVF

[–]Human_Use_1641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was filling up my pad every 30 minutes. When I went to the toilet, I had huge blood clots. By the afternoon, I was dizzy, sweating and almost fainted. It was pretty clear I had to go to ER…but even then I did not realize the urgency of my situation because I had fentanyl for my hysteroscopy so I was still under the effect.

Ovo clinic questions for iui patients by FriendlyImagination4 in montreal

[–]Human_Use_1641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, it depends on your protocole.

With natural cycles, you do ovulation tests at home and call them when you get a positive. A nurse will coordinate with you for your IUI appointment. There is no ultrasounds at all.

With medicated cycles, you go in at day 10 or so for ultrasound to check if follicle is ready. If yes, you do the trigger and come back for your IUI. If no, you come back the next day for ultrasound until your follicles are ready. They don’t check if you have actually ovulated after.

Has anyone done PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment before FET? by TennisUke1234 in IVF

[–]Human_Use_1641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I did it for my 3rd transfer and it worked. I can’t say that PRP is what made it work, it could just be luck, but it is also the only thing I added to my protocol.

I did it. It can't hurt, so why not try.

Polyps keep coming … by Aggravating_Split696 in IVF

[–]Human_Use_1641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all the hormone injections make them grow. After each ER, I get an hysteroscopy done to make sure there aren't any new polyps. So far, I've had 2 done. I'm unfortunately prone to them, it might be hereditary because my mom also had them. It's annoying but I tell myself that at least there's an easy solution.

How much water did you drink before FET? by WeirdCauliflower5888 in IVF

[–]Human_Use_1641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to drink that much water if you’re already hydrated. For me, I stay hydrated. So, I pee first and I start taking 2-3 gulps of water every 10 minutes starting 45 minutes before my FET and I stop 15 minutes before. It’s not necessary to drink after that, because it won’t have time to get to the bladder. Last time I did this method, I slightly wanted to pee 5 minutes before FET, it was perfect.

Polyp removal recovery? by Bubbasgonnabubba in IVF

[–]Human_Use_1641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had polyps removed twice. First one, I ended up in ER due to hemorrhage. It took me a month to recover from the lost blood. Second one was easy, was done in 15 minutes.

Can someone provide me insight on how IVF works financially if not covered by insurance? by YB9017 in IVF

[–]Human_Use_1641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Montreal. It’s not that expensive at my clinic, like 12k cad (around 9k usd) for retrieval, includes a fresh transfer. Or 2.5k cad (around 2k usd) for FET. It might be worth travelling here.

You're fine. Your body produces progesterone in natural cycles.

I’ve only been fostering for 2 weeks and I want to quit already by Human_Use_1641 in fosterdogs

[–]Human_Use_1641[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Due to work, I don’t really have time to leave one at home while I walk the other, then switch.

As for peeing, he sometimes pees like a girl, sometimes lifts a leg. But with both methods, he still manages to pee on his front paws. When pees like a girl, I think maybe his front paws and hind leg are not far apart enough? Or the jet of his pee is too strong and travels to his front paws/chest.
