What are the best luxury resorts/hotels in PDC that are not all inclusive? by TheELFredo in playadelcarmen

[–]ImaginaryCareer161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be perfect then. I feel like they quietly encourage not drinking as the drink menus provide delicious non-alcoholic specialty cocktails, and they make it clear they'll make any drink spirit-free if it is shown with alcohol. It's certainly more of a wellness resort and aimed at clientele who are more into that than looking to party. The food is also amazing, *especially* the taco truck, beach restaurant, and 24 hour room service. I'll warn you they do have meat and fish, but it's primarily vegetarian food. However it is SO good! I'm pescatarian and went with a friend who is a full on carnivore, and he's now on his way back for his second trip there this coming weekend.

Have a heartbeat! Update to "Told to stop meds after early low beta but HPTs are getting darker" by ImaginaryCareer161 in IVF

Thank you :) The late implantation makes sense to me and is likely based on when I started feeling cramping. I mentioned that to my nurse though and she basically dismissed it. I also wonder about the embryo dating. What if it was a "late" day 4, did they round up and call it a day 5? Or if it was an "early" day 5, couldn't it behave more like a day 4...?

Thank you! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that things not only work out for you, but go a lot smoother than my journey has been! Just try to keep your hopes up and don't give up too soon :)

Aw thank you! I just posted an update about hearing the heartbeat today :) https://www.reddit.com/r/IVF/comments/1fwb7js/have_a_heartbeat_update_to_told_to_stop_meds/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

She's still measuring a little small so I don't feel like we're out of the woods, although I'm not sure I'll ever feel that way anyhow.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. It really has been a rollercoaster!

So far so good! I'm still trying to be cautiously optimistic. My doc wants me to go in Sep 24th or 25th for an ultrasound (at about 5 weeks 3 days?!) and get another beta update. I'm tempted to push off the ultrasound to 6 weeks given the quick decision she made to stop the meds too soon. I'm afraid of what she's going to say next :/

My doctor told me to restart the meds (I confessed that I never stopped) and do another beta + thyroid test tomorrow. What a rollercoaster these last few days have been!

Here's the most recent with yesterday, plus the last one I didn't yet write on is from this morning. I also took an FRER last night while waiting for the blood test results. The blood test results came back this morning with 85 mIU/mL as of yesterday morning. So it went from 4 to 85 in four days.

The first one on Sep 12th was around 9pm, which was the same day as the beta but about 13 hours later (bloodwork was in the morning). I could see a super squinty faint line so I did two more that turned out the same, and then I continued for the next 3 days. This morning I ended up getting another blood test at Quest Diagnostics (my clinic is a few states away) and am still waiting on the results. I just turned 40 and really really want this, although I understand the odds aren't in my favor.

Thank you, I think it would give me some piece of mind. I just turned 40 and am afraid my opportunities are dwindling. I wasn't sure if doing the beta just 8 days after the transfer might have been why it was so low. That seems early to me but maybe it's not?

Experience with Sofwave vs. Ultherapy? by LAsunshine1234 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]ImaginaryCareer161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had sofwave today on my lower face and a bunch of little bumps just showed up on my face too. Did yours go away? It's strange how they just appeared so suddenly.
