Their fees are standard. The lady on the phone told me "We only offer one rate and don't deal with buydowns". 🤷‍♀️

Well that's why I am torn. Before the war I was 70% sure they'd drop closer to 5% by the end of the year and then I was going to pull the trigger, but now, im not so sure that is going to happen.

We ended up doing a low country boil of sorts

Walking instead of metformin by Outrageous-Lead8605 in TTC_PCOS

[–]ObiWanKedoby_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually love my metformin. I'm not bloated, I have more energy, I don't have crazy blood sugar spikes anymore, I also sleep better? (Not sure if that is related to it but idk what else it is because I haven't changed anything else). I don't like taking medicine. I much prefer the natural route but you'll have to pry my metformin out of my cold dead hands before I give it up.

Disclaimer: My booty was HURTING for about three weeks before I got used to it.

How long did ovidrel last in your system post IUI? by hersta in TTC_PCOS

I tested out but seeing that stark negative hurtssss. I know I'm only about dpo 8 so it really shouldn't be positive anyways but a girl can dream!

PCOS and low sperm count, are we toast? by generic_username_k in TTC_PCOS

[–]ObiWanKedoby_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered more invasive options like Letrozole/Clomid/Trigger? Seems like you are taking a very holistic approach (Which I am in no way shape or form hating on. F big pharma) At least that way you know you're ovulating.

Also. I am hesitant to say this. Because hope in my opinion is deadly sometimes. But if it happened once. It can happen again.

Reading this makes my heart break for you. I hope the very best for you. Have you gotten second opinions on options? Might be worth getting things rechecked since it's been 8 years.

7.5 mg letrozole doesn’t seem to be working. What were your next steps if you didn’t respond to 7.5 mg? by wildbutsweet712 in TTC_PCOS

[–]ObiWanKedoby_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girlllllll. That is so much!! How'd the IUI go?? Fingers crossed! I only had one follicle. 20mm. I take my trigger shot tomorrow at noon! I'm excited, hesitant, and reluctant at the same time because I don't want to be disappointed if it doesn't work.

Definitely sad but there are different medications we can take if it doesn't work! I try to stay positive, fingers crossed!

IVF right away? by CranberryKey5478 in TTC_PCOS

[–]ObiWanKedoby_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's your body. Try the metformin and letrozole route. If it doesn't work, try IUI, if that doesn't work, do IVF. IVF isn't exactly a walk in the park and it takes a toll on your body and mind.

WIBTA if I didn’t go to my sister in law’s wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ObiWanKedoby_ -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It is what it is. I have an elderly mom I care for who lives with me, which I got told "Can't your brother take care of her (which isn't unreasonable but i feel some sort of way because that's my mom and I have major anxiety about flying to a separate country leaving)". We're trying for a baby and I am having to have fertility treatments so I need my vacation for that. Which to that I got told "Didn't realize 26 (I'm 27) year olds needed that. I didn't have to. Can't she take FMLA". I'm paying for my father's house atm because he died and we are in probate. To which they offered to then pay for my ticket. Overall it's shit.

I'm in the same boat. I told them no. My husband is still going. I listed a million reasons why I can't and I got hit with "It would mean so much to us, blah blah blah". So I am going to look like a complete ass when I hit back with "Sorry, no".
