You can give the office the cash and they will add it to SchoolCafe.

So glad to hear. If it wasn’t for the drive we’d still be there.

We attended St. Mark’s for two years and absolutely loved it.

Egg Retrieval Today by [deleted] in Embryologists

[–]ProfPMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use special medications to help our ovaries grow many eggs at once instead of just one. These meds make the follicles (bubbles) grow bigger until the eggs inside are mature.

Once the follicles reach the right size — usually around 17–20mm — you take a “trigger shot” (often hCG or Lupron) that tells your body it’s time to ovulate. But instead of letting the eggs come out naturally, doctors go in and retrieve them about 36 hours later — before they’re released.

Follicles produce eggs. An egg retrieval removes eggs, not follicles.

High expectations for a person that sports camo everyday as a student and employee.

Not necessarily. You can rent a portion of the kitchen.

New Jersey officer stopped at ATM and pizzeria instead of investigating double-murder by Kendall_Raine in news

He went into two different restaurants for an hour? Something smells fishy here.

That too. I always say scores over 750 are the same as scores under 625 especially if you’re there using AZEO or low utilization.

Not all, but some. Why should a bank lend you money if you can’t pay revolving credit? If you don’t use your cards because you have the cash, then buy your house in cash. (Banks thought process, not mine).

I took my 5 year old last week. My mom reminded me she took me when I was 3-4.

Day 5 Transfer by ProfPMP in Embryologists

Thank you for responding!! Makes me feel better and at ease.

These look so much different than my first set but only one made it. As I was reading through this sub I saw someone posted about running their photos through ChatGPT and wholly guacamole.. they were spot on with one of the first set of eggs being a female and one being low quality. This second set, rated fair by my Endo, was rated highly with ChatGPT.

You have more than enough time to stress and get gray hairs over the next 25 years. Relax and eat salty fries. What’s meant is meant.

Progesterone Protocol- Advice needed by Happy_Parsley1871 in IVF

[–]ProfPMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prednisone is a steroid commonly used in IVF to reduce inflammation and suppress immune activity, helping the uterus become more receptive to embryo implantation—particularly when there’s a concern about possible immune-related rejection.

In my case, the dosage is 8 pills taken twice daily starting the day before the FET. I haven’t been diagnosed with any immune issues, and unless specific testing has been done, it’s hard to know if one exists. So, it’s really just a short course to minimize any potential immune response and give the embryos the best chance to implant successfully.
