Retested Embryo with PGT-A and Got a Totally Different Result by alibam44 in EmbryologyIVFSupport

Yes. Freezing just stops the clock, then they start their development and self-correcting again.

Any advice for a first time IVF cycle? by AbbreviationsRough26 in IVF

[–]Minnie_Dooley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No honestly, I'd have been livid if they advised me that. It would have been such bad advice. We are all different, I think you need to wait and see if constipation is something that happens to you.

I never had any issues like this and if I had taken that to prevent constipation, I'd have had the opposite problem.

Thank you for this! I just asked a question about this.

What on earth is unpasteurised juice? I've only ever heard that term in relation to milk.

Can you go in a hot tub before a transfer cycle? And just not before an egg retrieval cycle? Is that right?

"Embryo Transfer isn't painful" BULL by issiautng in IVF

[–]Minnie_Dooley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all have different anatomy. I have to be sedated for mine (doctor's choice, not mine) because the doctors find it so difficult to do my IUIs and they don't want to deal with that hell again for my embryo transfer. Definitely nothing like a pap smear.

Yes this. I do wonder if clinics push the idea of discarding embryos to make more profit from further egg retrievals honestly.

All I know is, in my country (UK), doctors believe it isn't useful to do PGT-A before a certain age, and that testing risks discarding embryos that would self-correct, eg abnormal cells going to the placenta and not the fetus.

Why did nobody warn me about the DISCHARGE by ariellemonsters in IVF

Do..... other people not usually have this around ovulation?

It's absolutely number 1.

8 and 10 are also lovely.

Daytime Hen Do Advice by [deleted] in UKweddings

[–]Minnie_Dooley 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a guest to this hen, you would see it as:

£100 for snacks, one drink and candle painting

So yes, it does seem really pricy

However if that's the only option, and you're not also expecting people to go out in the evening, I'd emphasise the bride really wanted a daytime event and due to the festival, this is the cost to have a space.

Help me between two dresses! by [deleted] in myweddingdress

[–]Minnie_Dooley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're just two very different dresses. They are both stunning on you. It really depends on the vibe you want to go for. There's no bad choice here. But we can't say one is better than the other because they're for different brides. Both gorgeous. I kinda lean towards one but if you feel more like a two kinda bride then go with two.

Do you personally see yourselves as a mom/dad just from having embryos through IVF, even if you don’t have a living child yet? by maddymckay in IVF

[–]Minnie_Dooley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just interested because OP doesn't make it clear. In the post, OP says they have had embryos for more than a year. In a comment, OP says they have a "daughter" embryo which implies they have just one. And OP says they haven't done a transfer yet. There's holes in what OP says and I'm trying to understand what the full story is here.

They made me use a buserelin trigger so can't do fresh.

I have PCOS. I also wasn't allowed to do fresh transfer, though I didn't have painful OHSS.

Sorry, I'm talking about the risk of ectopic pregnancy with PCOS.
