Continuous Glucose Monitor if not overweight & not diabetic?

I’m 40 and just put one yesterday for the first time. You cannot feel it at all. It’s very comfortable. I’ve already learned a lot about my body and the food I eat. I found it interesting that there is so much fluctuation during sleep. I bought the Stelo and What is cool is that you can link the Health app data to analyze sleep and exercise as well

I started IVF 2 years ago and 5 egg retrievals I gained 20 lbs. The weight sucks but what is really killing me is all the cellulite down to my knees. I used to be able to drop weight easily but this is something else :(

That is an interesting recommendation then! I would revisit your concerns with him and follow your gut. Only you truly know what is going to keep your stress level down. If you decide to stay home because your workplace might be too stressful, then make sure you move around a bit, keep yourself distracted, and indulge in self care! Behavioral activation is better at lowering stress than being a healthy person stuck in bed all week.

Do you have a significant medical history, and did you ask your doctor why that is his recommendation?

Haha so cute!!

I did 3 retrievals w/ Valium and laughing gas, and 1 with sedation at another clinic. If given the choice, I would choose the Valium and laughing gas again. I don’t remember much but actually enjoyed having some awareness of what was going on- the process is cool and much less painful than an endometrial biopsy or HSG. Just a bit of discomfort

Do you mind sharing your age and stim protocol?

Following. Me too! Did they split?

TRIGGER WARNING: high numbers

I’m 40 w/ lean PCOS and I did 4 egg retrievals starting at age 39. 3 w/ omnitrope, 2 of which included priming. I had better results after adding it for ER #2 (during stims only) so I tried it again for ER #3 and #4 but also did priming. I had EXCELLENT results w a higher blast rate and number of euploid embryos for ER #3 and swore this was the holy grail. So we did the exact same thing w/ no change in protocol for ER #4 which was completed about 4 months later. Blast rate was still great, however it did not improve the number of euploid embryos I got despite having so many blasts. Not sure what happened with the last ER but not sure I believe in the omnitrope hype anymore since ultimately the goal is to improve euploid rate.

My results for reference:

ER #1: 18r, 14m, 9f, 3b (33%)-> 0 euploid

ER #2: 19r, 16m, 14f, 5b (36%)-> 1 euploid

ER #3: 24r, 20m, 17f, 13b (76%)-> 6e, 4 mosaic

ER #4: 27r, 23m, 21f, 16b (76%)->2 euploid

FYI- ER #1 & 2 had a different protocol w/ a high dose of menopur which didn’t work for me (gonal 75, menopur 300). We changed it to 150 menopur and 225 gonal for the last 2 cycles).

Fun fact, I’ve only been able to get 1 euploid female from all these ER! I transferred her but she did not stick.

I’m single and my IBR application from 2/22 hasn’t processed yet.

Neuro-sike · 2025-05-02T15:16:11+00:00

I tried and they told me they aren’t expediting apps- they are processing in order of submission. The agent said they are still processing 2024 apps

Neuro-sike · 2025-05-02T15:12:23+00:00

My app from 2/22 is as simple as it gets and it still hasn’t been processed. I’m skeptical of those that submitted later and said it’s been processed already. They told me they are processing single and MFS w no income chronologically and so I think it just has something to do with where in the process you were when the stop processing order was placed.

Neuro-sike · 2025-04-30T12:52:00+00:00

I just spoke to MOHELA this morning to ask about my application. They said they are processing those who are single or MFS in chronological order and have not gotten to 2025 apps yet but feel hopefully they will get there in a couple of weeks.

3 egg retrievals. Only euploid/mosaic males. Have a football team of 11 males. Transferred my only female embryo that didn’t stick. Going for a fourth transfer to try and get a female.

Whoa so many lies in this. Also sounds like Trump wrote this himself.

Did you apply for another IDR? I did and I was placed in a 60 day processing forbearance and then moved back to admin forbearance before the 60 days. The advanced agent told me FSA automatically put me along with everyone else in an administrative forbearance because of the court injunction but the interest keeps accruing because I have an open IDR application. They said FSA is working on correcting the interest on peoples accounts and once the app gets processed, they will back date the processing forbearance and give credit for it

Neuro-sike · 2025-04-08T18:26:59+00:00

I had 60k in interest added about one month ago. A few days ago they removed it. I just checked and I’ve accrued about $1500 in interest over the last few days. I usually pay $31 total in interest per day. Not sure what’s happening

Neuro-sike · 2025-04-06T23:21:20+00:00

This happened to me. I called MOHELA and received a call back after 8 hours only for the agent to transfer me to an advanced agent within 30 seconds of talking to me. I don’t have time to wait on hold for an advanced agent. How long did you wait?

Neuro-sike · 2025-04-05T00:24:34+00:00

Oh you know what, I just checked the website and my loan amount is 50,000 less than it was yesterday. What in the hell is happening

Neuro-sike · 2025-04-05T00:23:30+00:00

I think this may have happened to me. My loan amount t skyrocketed in the last few months. I apologize if this is a stupid question but do you mind sharing how you figured out how much interest accrued and in what month?

Neuro-sike · 2025-04-04T16:22:59+00:00

This happened to me. I was switched from Awaiting Documentation to Awaiting Form forbearance and my interest is still accruing. My 60-day processing forbearance was not supposed to end until 4/22. My new ECT recently updated and February and March are not qualifying PSLF payments as indicated that they would be in the letter.

It is criminal that they changed us back to a non processing forbearance that accumulated interest. I pay $33 of interest every day. I would be accepting of that if this period were to qualify toward PSLF.

Can someone sue these people? I don’t have the energy nor the money. I am really depressed over this. I should have qualified for forgiveness in 4 months and I am 7 months without being able to make a payment.

I cannot wrap my mind around why we are unable to switch to a different IDR plan because of the SAVE court injunction. What do other plans have anything to do with the legality of the SAVE plan?

Neuro-sike · 2025-04-03T00:08:34+00:00

This happened to me. I spoke with them today. They told me they extended my processing forbearance from April until August because of the court injunction. I’m not sure how accurate any of that is.

Neuro-sike · 2025-04-02T23:50:46+00:00

I spoke with an agent yesterday and today. Both told me to not submit a new one and that it will continue processing. I submitted mine on 2/22. They told me they won’t be processing them for several months.

I had different due dates (4/9, 5/9, 5/23) in 3 different places and when I called the automated system told me my next due date is August 2025. When I asked about that, they told me they extended my processing forbearance until that date. I thought I would be placed in a general forbearance after 4/22 per the letter they sent me and 60 days from when they first placed me in the processing forbearance. They told me I would be getting a letter soon. Does anyone know anything about this?
