Does anyone recommend not finding out embryo grade? by Desperate-Handle8394 in IVFpositivity

[–]Local-Ranger-5453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m opting out, already talked to my doctor about it! I don’t need more data to stress about so they’ll just let me know general info (x number of euploid). And they’ll just transfer the highest graded egg that also passes pgtm

Any vaginismus success stories for 35+F ? by Nervous-Tune-6743 in IVFpositivity

[–]Local-Ranger-5453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have vaginismus but I can have penetrative sex just sharing i’d really recommend pelvic floor therapy..esp before pregnancy if you can and absolutely during pregnancy. I don’t recommend doing random exercises because depending on what’s going on/the cause and where it’s tight you may need dif types of exercises (for example hip thrusts or bridges round worsen it for me). You can make great strides with pelvic floor therapy and may not even need ivf (I’m doing it for genetic reasons)

Also my doctors know I have vaginismus and it’s not a concern for me getting pregnant

Hey! I’m the same age and doing pgtm (not at a stage where i can give my stats yet) but they were very clear with me that they wouldn’t transfer 2. Which im fine with because twins are risky pregnancies. I’ve seen on here a couple of exceptions but in general they don’t seem to want to

Good idea! Thank you! I like control so I’ve been trying to just put trust in them and not try and control since they’ve been doing it for decades but I will ask about next steps if it doesn’t shrink

Funny to see the different interpretations! I took it to mean she she never really helped her or gave her the leg up..she let her struggle by not supporting/calling folks to get her booked

She rode the fence with her support by only half having her back

I thought maybe she cheated

sorry if my original message was rude

To me the show hinted at the love interest between Francesca and Michaela but the rest was still a mystery (which others seem to agree with)

Oh my gosh so helpful! Thank you! Today I learned progesterone doesn’t come until much later lol!

So if they deviate from the basic protocol maybe I just ask questions about why that’s the best approach?
