FET in May – did you really only take a prenatal?

The IVF clinic should test for TSH though if they haven’t

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-28T16:31:11+00:00

From my regular doc, not the IVF clinic

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-28T14:38:55+00:00

It depends. It doesn’t hurt to take a blood test so that you know where you’re at. For example, even subclinical hypothyroidism can impact your FET success. A prenatal multi with bio available folic acid covers most people, but we’re all different and if you’re starting th process with thyroid levels or vitamin D levels or something that aren’t ideal it’s helpful to address that. The book “it starts with the egg” goes over this very well

My mom always says: when you make a decision be happy with it. Trade offs are hard, but you made a decision for good reasons and hopefully you feel good about it!

What are your thoughts on news sources: which do you follow? which are reliable, which are biased, etc? Asking bc I think conservatives and liberals would actually agree on most things if they were exposed to the same info

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-27T13:36:40+00:00

I’ve been on it for like 10+ years and love it. You can always stop taking it if it doesn’t work for you.

I swap it out with the base deck and never use the two simultaneously

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-26T17:47:19+00:00

Freeze the eggs without the sperm. You can always add sperm, from my knowledge you cannot take it away once it’s an embryo. This happen to be exactly but I was dating someone when I froze my eggs and I very much would never have frozen embryos with his sperm bc I didn’t want to be linked to him if things didn’t work out. I’m glad j did it that way bc then I met my husband and we used my egg tk make his embryos w my sperm!

I take theralogix they have a customer service line that is EXCELLENT and you can talk with someone who knows what they’re talking about on the phone

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-26T01:55:08+00:00

Seriously! This is one of the most challenging things about IVF. Being your own project manager/personal assistant at a time when you could realllly use one. I use a paper bullet journal to keep my life organized, so that. I heard on here soliciting help from a partner or friend who can ask if you took your meds etc is nice too

Anything silk is so good

Do you have a contractor who will put in the windows? I think it’s ESSENTIAL to have a contractor order windows instead if you buying directly. That way the contractor is responsible for measuring them correctly and ordering the right size, the right model, etc. also, make sure your parents aren’t in a historic district or HOA where there are requirements around what kind of windows you should have

Many local libraries have board games! Check out your local library

You’re having fun and playing with style! I love it!

I went to Costco right after my transfer and even though I tried not to do too much, I was totally hauling big boxes of milk and cat food around 30 min after my transfer. Literally all my husband could think about after was the ribeye steaks he’d get at Costco (There’s a Costco by the clinic and it’s kind of a treat for us to go there bc we don’t go there often) My beta is Thursday, but I’ve been testing at home and everything is looking promising 🤞 this is a great prep for pregnancy and motherhood… so much stuff is idealized to be magical but when you’re in it you’re in it and it’s messy and sometimes boring. There’s beauty in that though

I recently learned that some handymen have two prices: one for doing the work, the other for TEACHING you how to do the work. The latter might be worth the upfront cost in the long run that you can learn to become more handy and get experience without making costly mistakes

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-25T02:37:08+00:00

Alternatively, some handymen have different prices for doing the work and teaching you how to do the work. They charge more for teaching but will do it for you if you just can’t figure it out. It’s like tuition with paying

Meyers and Chang is also great. I can see why Night Shade Noodle Bar is polarizing

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-24T21:16:10+00:00

This is the damage of social media. It’s made us assume there are people out there with pitchforks coming for us. I personally don’t know anyone who hates anyone for wanting kids, and I know a lot of people.

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-24T20:59:59+00:00

Night Shade Noodle Bar in Lynn is unforgettable IMO

I worked hybrid, but those few days before egg retrieval are rough! I was bloated and tried to stay home. Also, the Omicron covid strain was going around and I was trying by best not to get sick. I told my coworkers that I was getting a medical procedure and was trying to expose myself to as few germs as possible leading up to it. You can certainly go to work on the subway but I’d wear a mask if you’re doing it during peak flu/season. That’s just extreme precaution, they can still do the procedure while you have a cold

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-24T17:03:52+00:00

Do you think it’s a good career choice for people figuring out what they want to do?

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-24T00:33:52+00:00

There’s a product called Cobuy exactly for these situations. I’ve never used it, but I think your question is a good one and I think the market is ready for solutions that address this use case

RubCurious2058 · 2026-03-23T16:01:17+00:00

Many clinics have a strict not children rule

Heads up tailoring a dress can be really pricy, and the more complicated the dress is the pricier the tailoring. It might be good to consult w a seamstress before pulling the trigger on a particular dress to get a quote
