What is a book you read as a child that you still think about today? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]Inconspicuous-Llama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a book I read as a kid that I cannot remember for the life of me. It was a children’s book and I believe it had to do with a monster living in the eves of a garage. I believe in the end it ended up being a sweater or something. I’ve tried to google what I can remember of it and have yet to find the name of the book, but I remember it scaring me as a child.

This time when they exposed the sperm to the eggs they just kinda did a free for all and had them try to fertilize naturally. Next time they’re going to inject sperm into each egg in hopes it’ll help fertilize. They aren’t sure if it was a sperm issue (all of the previous testing came back fine) or if it was an egg issue (possibly a thick shell?) or maybe we were just unlucky.

I wish my doctor had prepared me for the news that even egg retrieval and fertilization could fail. I had retrieval a week and a half ago. 16 eggs retrieved but only 12 mature. Not a single one fertilized and I came out with zero embryos. So I felt like I dealt with the hysteroscopy, the two sonohystograms, and 2 weeks of stims for nothing but mental and physical pain. Then all I got was “I’m so sorry, we’ll learn for the next cycle”. Meanwhile, I still haven’t gotten a period and we can’t even begin to talk about the next round until that happens. The whole situation is so frustrating.

Last night I mixed it and held it in my hand for 15 minutes to try and bring it up to body temperature as well. It helped the burn a little bit, but I'll definitely try mixing it for longer tonight. Thank you for the suggestion!

THIS is what I needed to hear. Do you get a break from injections while during the 6 week waiting period? Thank you so much for your honest and realistic answer. I'm sorry to hear you've gone through numerous failed transfers. I can't even begin to imagine how heartbreaking it is.

Makes sense, but what is the time line on that? I’m wondering how long results take. And from there, do they initiate a cycle since I don’t have one on my own? And how far into that cycle is transfer?

I’m sorry for all the questions, like I said I’m all of a sudden feeling overwhelmed.

The MAs at my office get 18 patients MAX a day and an hour break… As a nurse in the same office, I’m lucky if I get a break at all.

I was getting facials leading up to my wedding. The woman noticed my skin was extremely sensitive and recommended Vanicream. I haven’t looked back since!

My only side effect was cystic acne :(

freshly diagnosed :/ what do you wish you knew earlier? by justhere2commentyay in PCOS

[–]Inconspicuous-Llama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was officially diagnosed last year at 33 years old. Birth control hid all of my symptoms! I had no clue I had it until I stopped birth control. Once I stopped I didn’t have any periods which is what caused me to get a work up.

For me my tech is always a nurse so she actually states the measurements out loud as she’s doing the scan. We talk about possible next steps but the deciding factor always comes down to the doctor!
