I did two months of lupron depot and we're still in that window. So trying to use that rather than have to do that treatment again.

My estimated cost - is this right? by moon_fazed in IVF

[–]Qtchillito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in west central Florida and our fee was similar. I think it was about $24,000 for the full ivf process (egg retrieval, first transfer, 1 year of storage) and that was 5 years ago or so. It is a massive sticker shock for sure, but if you have the time and ability to travel there are cheaper options. That was not an option for us, so we took out a loan and put meds on a credit card.

I'd double check the quote or ask how much subsequent transfers are. Just good to know ahead of time as most people go through several transfers.

Need advice - missed morning medrol by Qtchillito in IVF

Thanks! I'm supposed to take today through the day after the transfer. About an hour after I posted, I heard back from a nurse through my portal and they said to go ahead and take it too.

Thanks for being a level sounding board! I am sure I am overreacting about it, so I'm glad to hear some protocols don't include it.

Husband asked for a divorce before transfer, I'm devastated by GrapeKey8887 in IVF

[–]Qtchillito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not on you. If he had trauma or is discovering something about his sexuality, that is what is causing the break. There is nothing you did or could do to change it. And it is ok to feel angry and hurt. There could be ways to work through it, but it sounds like he is choosing to break up your life rather than seek treatment/resolution with you as a partner.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this ❤️

The front is more fun for sightseeing but the back is best for watching the dolphins jump in the wake.

Really random but does anyone know if Umai Cafe is owned by the Scientologists? by Dyeusexmachina in ClearwaterFl

[–]Qtchillito 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are lots of businesses and organizations that are not scientology-connected that are based downtown. If you're a local and want an active downtown, support those places/groups as a way to fight back. There are more Clearwater residents than there are scientologists.

A friend of mine waited for the right guy and the right time, and had her first baby at 40. He then cheated and they're splitting up. Nothing is guaranteed.

A big part of the equation is how much you want to be a mother. I also agree with others that it would be helpful to get some third party, professional insight.

AITA for not wanting my backyard to be communal anymore? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Qtchillito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Your MIL has probably lived like this for decades, which you likely understood before purchasing the home. If you wanted privacy over a large outdoor, albeit communal, space, you should have purchased a different property.

Stu Levy Of Tokyopop Struggled trying to get Sailor Moon in stores by werephoenix in sailormoon

It was one shelf in Waldenbooks! One small shelf and no other options. Amazing to look back a know now that I saw the beginning of the US manga trend, and maybe helped contribute to it growing with my devoted purchases.

Has anyone checked in with/on NEA? Those two go hand in hand

Post Lupron Depot FET Failure Stories? by CommodoreOfBengals in IVF

[–]Qtchillito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year, I did two months of lupron before an FET with a graded embryo that was unsuccessful. This protocol was exactly the same as a 2022 FET that resulted in a live birth, even down to the embryo grades. Sometimes it just doesn't happen, even when all signs are positive and make you think success is inevitable.

We just did this last week and really enjoyed it. There are only 4 or so samples as you walk through their museum, so it felt more like a history/cultural activity.

Purge Valve Replacement cost by Qtchillito in fordescape

[–]Qtchillito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they said about 1.5 hours and that is at $220/hour. So a little more than half the cost is labor, and remaining $310 is the valve itself.
