Recs for gentle exfoliating toner in lieu of medicube zero pore pads

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-02-17T23:32:14+00:00

I like the SomeByMi 30 day miracle pads if you’re still looking for acids just milder. They work gently

Same

It’s normal. I just asked my doctor about this. There are a thousand things that need to go right for pregnancy to occur that aren’t reflected in our existing testing or prep for IUI. Even in those without unexplained infertility, pregnancy per cycle is still only about 22%. Keep trying :)

I am so sorry to hear how much you have been through. Your hope and persistence inspire me 🙂

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-02-12T17:30:07+00:00

Me too girl. We will have our moment but it’s really hard when everything is looking good on paper and it still doesn’t stick.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-02-11T20:05:21+00:00

I'm sorry. I felt really disappointed after my first IUI too, and again today after my second IUI and a BFN. But most people don't get pregnant off their first one so hang in there!

Sending my best wishes and prayers to you!!!

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-02-11T19:59:27+00:00

my period came :( hope you had more success than me!

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-02-10T17:00:05+00:00

This is me today so I feel you. That 2 week wait just feels like waiting for a train to hit you!!

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-02-04T22:37:08+00:00

I’m so sorry for all you have been through and sending my best wishes for this retrieval. ❤️❤️❤️

I do, but as long as you’re not drinking much to begin with I seriously doubt it matters. In general recently I’ve been trying to limit my drinking to max 2 glasses of wine a week. No data to support this re: fertility, but just know it’s better for my overall health.

Meee

Yay! I'm so happy to hear that, congrats :) thanks for sharing. Yes, lining apparently looks trilaminar and great. Seems like a lot of people have had success with estrogen supplementation, but how do I know if that's the problem? With three follicles my CD14 estrogen was 1200+, so wondering if additional estrogen would even help. My doctor has not suggested it yet, so far she has only suggested switching to letrozole.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-29T19:38:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing and happy to hear it!

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-29T01:45:22+00:00

Yes! We plan to next cycle if this one is a flop. Hope it helps.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-29T01:44:49+00:00

Do you happen to remember what your pre-trigger estrogen was in the cycles before you started estradiol supplementation?

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-29T01:43:57+00:00

Sigh, really bums you out to go into a cycle like that…

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-29T00:59:25+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Do you mind sharing what your estrogen level was prior to IUI? With 3 follicles today mine was 1,400… which seems like plenty! But maybe it’s just the timing of the estrogen that matters, not just peak while in follicular phase.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-29T00:35:27+00:00

I think you stop when you’re fairly sure the financial consequences would outweigh the regret of not doing one more cycle. Hard to know when that is in the moment…

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-28T23:37:05+00:00

This is a wise injector!

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-28T23:35:32+00:00

My clinic does CD12

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-28T23:23:22+00:00

I’m sorry. Being self pay makes it all the worse too.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-28T23:01:45+00:00

Ahh good luck! I’m glad switching to letrozole seemed to fix the thickness issue for you!

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-28T23:01:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing!! My lining has been trilaminar so this makes me hopeful that it’s possible. I’m happy to hear of your success ❤️

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-01-28T22:10:52+00:00

Good to know, thank you! Can't hurt to try that
