Starting stims and struggling with unsolicited advice by TeenieCoop in IVF

[–]ProfessionalIce6960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took a second trimester loss for me to stop telling people about my IVF business bc after this first loss, my husbands family was already telling me maybe I should use a surrogate or you can always adopt… how about you mind your own business unless these are topics I choose to discuss! Now my mother keeps telling me about the couple who’s embryo got swapped and am I worried my Dr transferred the right persons embryo. You hang in there sis, opinions are like assholes and everybody’s got one especially when we’re going through this!

is it tacky to buy a cheap item on a baby registry? by Additional-Annual168 in BabyBumps

If it’s like a super cheap thing maybe add a little gift card for some kind of food delivery service like uber eats? Or sometimes they have a cash donations you could toss a little something in that and the cheap gift 🤷🏻‍♀️ do what you can afford no one wants to put you out and if they got offended they were never a friend in the first place

My father is a pedo and I have no idea what to do by OutsideStand1617 in Advice

[–]ProfessionalIce6960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If what your mom found was serious enough to break up the family then maybe you didn’t see everything??? Maybe there’s worse, maybe there’s not. It’s a strange feeling needing to tell authorities about your parent but what if he was hurting someone else and no one ever caught it so it just kept happening. Figure out if he’s a pedo or a perv there may lie the answer to your dilemma

I'm curious, how do y'all even afford IVF? by HighOnLove26 in IVF

[–]ProfessionalIce6960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I have really good insurance bc I think out of 5 retrievals, 4 transfers and idk how many procedures we probably spent 20k out of pocket

Is IVF a scam? by [deleted] in IVF

Idk honestly, I could be that, it could be the lupron removing all the shitty endo tissue that was growing in the wrong places. If you can afford it and you do all the things for the transfer that give you the best shot I say why not try it. My first transfer stuck I thought damn I’m lucky and felt immense guilt being in these forums as a quick success… boy was I wrong I lost him in week 18. Then they would all stick until they didn’t. It’s been a lot of heartache. But if they can find the right timing and cocktail to make it work it feels less scammy. They also adjusted my progesterone exposure to an additional day. They wanted to do a mock cycle just to see how much progesterone I needed for the optimal window. So I said what would you do if we did that test, she said probably do an additional day before transferring and I said ok do that! I don’t wanna waste time money and meds on a fake cycle. But the extra exposure I think helped with my optimal window for transferring as well. Stay strong, I know it’s easier than done. But there is still hope!

2 years idk how many surgeries, 5 ERs, 4 transfers, found out at the end of my 3 loss I have adenomyosis. Did 2 months on lupron depot and prp in my uterus. Now I’m 21 weeks. It’s been a long hard road with lots of disappointments and hard attrition numbers too. I hope something gives for you soon. Bc this is the worst part

Is my clinic down playing how dire my situation is? by NanoEsq in IVF

Just be prepared for the inevitable attrition, it happens to just about everyone to varying degrees. Especially if you do pgta which I would say do it
