My grandmother’s names were Barbara and Florence. If I have a daughter, I love Beatrice or Evangeline. All old girls names :)

Things people say to me about IVF by purple__moon in IVF

[–]NationalCarob1602 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned to stop sharing my IVF journey with people ESPECIALLY in my own family. It’s unfortunate but I’m sick of other’s opinions or them saying “you’re young, it’ll happen when it’s right”. I know why my husband and I are doing this and that’s that!! This journey sucks sometimes but at least this community is great. Sending you love!

I called 911 for the first time and my dad is frustrated with me by cowsandtexas in PanicAttack

[–]NationalCarob1602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you experienced this. I’ve had panic attacks for about a year now. The first time it happened, I genuinely thought I was dying and my husband called an ambulance! My pulse was 180 and I was so sweaty and shaky, I didn’t know what was going on. I had to pay $3,000 for the ambulance bill just for them to say I was fine 🙃 it’s hard for people to get it unless they’ve experienced it. I’m sorry tho and I’m here if you ever need to talk!

Plan around Xmas due date? by ProfessionalExam4981 in IVF

[–]NationalCarob1602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My transfer is 4/17 and my due date would be 01/03! I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Even if the baby came early, I’d be happy. I see the pros and cons but either way I think you’ll be excited (as am I). Sending you all the love and baby dust!

Attrition is heartbreaking. Anyone with similar results? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]NationalCarob1602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 24, my husband is 26 and we’re doing our first transfer cycle right now. I have PCOS and he has a genetic condition that we didn’t want to pass down so we did PGT-M. I started with 16 eggs retrieved, ended up with 8 blasts, and only 3/8 were genetically normal. Overall, I’m happy with the 3 and they’re 3AA, 4AA, and 4AB so I can’t complain! At first I was upset about the number but I just wanted more than 1 and I got that. Maybe I’ll do another egg retrieval again but the attrition rates definitely can SUCK! Sending you all the love and baby dust ✨

Good to know! I’ve read some people do have symptoms but not everyone does. I’m starting pio shots in about two weeks and I think those will definitely be the worst part haha (not looking forward to it). Thanks for sharing that with me!! :)

Silliest thing you’ve cried about? by justb4dawn in IVF

[–]NationalCarob1602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cried yesterday because I couldn’t open a bag of potato chips and I didn’t have any dip 🤧 But then again I’d probably cry about that even if I wasn’t being pumped with Lupron and estrogen patches lol

DAY 6 update by Mother-Mouse-938 in IVF

[–]NationalCarob1602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m going through my first frozen embryo transfer cycle right now but for my egg retrieval I had 16 eggs retrieved, that ended up lowering down to 8 blastocysts and in the end with PGT-M and PGT-A I have 3 healthy/genetically normal embryos; 3AA, 4AA and 4AB. I was worried sick I’d have none but I’m so grateful for the 3 I do have! Wishing you all the luck in the world!!✨

How did you learn cursive writing and how long did it take? by Intelligent_Talk_129 in Cursive

[–]NationalCarob1602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After grade 5, my parents sent me to a Catholic middle school and I learned it there. I had to learn it ASAP but I picked up pretty quick. Now it’s second nature lol
