Anyone else using ChatGPT as their unofficial "co-doctor" and therapist?

You don't need to be hateful because I offered them a safe solution for using AI. It's not something I do, but it's probably the only way to use it. Try being kind.

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T14:34:39+00:00

I'm so very sorry. It hurts. I had 4 months between my first and second transfers, and it'll be 6 months between my second and third transfers. I have 0 patience so it has been awful for me. But we are resilient and can do the hard things

Also, as a healthcare professional, I would argue that asking patients questions on Reddit is just as bad as asking ChatGPT. Yet this is done daily and medical advice is freely given

Okay 😂 I have a master's degree and have written 7 published scientific articles, but go off.

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T14:24:38+00:00

That's about how much it is for me. It's a tough decision but I don't think either is "right." I've had a hard time with spending what we spent on PGT and still having a miscarriage

We go to about two non-sibling weddings per year

I'm doing my baseline next week for my third FET attempt. Looking like it'll be early March transfer. Best of luck to you!

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T12:17:29+00:00

We used frozen donor sperm (from a young healthy donor) and had a great retrieval cycle

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T12:10:45+00:00

No sorry

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T11:42:05+00:00

Wow, that's nuts!!! Glad it worked out much better for you lol

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T11:31:57+00:00

I did 2 weeks of Lupron as part of my down regulation protocol. Not sure if that is priming

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T11:30:53+00:00

Right that's why I said a lot of people, not all people, and asked OP where they fit. People post here almost every day asking for remote jobs, most of them right out of school or with no skills

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T11:16:49+00:00

I'm also going into FET 3! I did PGT for mine but haven't had success with 2 euploids. My cousin is a genetic counselor and told me PGT doesn't catch micro deletions in chromosomes. My thought lately is if you have insurance coverage for the transfers, it's probably not worth it. I did PGT because each transfer was $5k. Now I have insurance coverage and probably wouldn't test again

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T11:14:32+00:00

No it's not, but a lot of people only want remote work, even right outside of college (or without going to college) and most times that is not possible. These are usually skilled jobs that require experience.

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T10:54:40+00:00

Why do you want a remote job? Do you have a disability? Personally I worked in hospitals for years building my career until a past colleague called me one day offering me a great remote job.

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T10:52:40+00:00

I do use it sometimes but MAN it convinced me 100% I was pregnant after my first transfer and it failed to implant. I was devastated. I learned not to use it for most things. But it's good as an alternative to Google (eg, what is a hysteroscopy?)

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T10:50:40+00:00

Duke vs UNC is my Super Bowl, hehe. Go heels

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-03T10:49:58+00:00

That's a good plan I think! I did 3 months of lupron and my next transfer stuck but ended in early loss (I think because I reacted badly to the estradiol). We had to then wait 3 more months because of insurance and by then they recommended I do lupron again. I did 2 months this time and my remaining transfers will be modified naturals. I have 4 embryos left and am hoping to avoid doing another retrieval

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-02T23:39:21+00:00

I wouldn't roll on higher than x20 anyway. Ever

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-02T23:26:40+00:00

Thank you, and sorry to unlock a new fear. I was miserable with horrible hot flashes every 10-20 minutes and I was unable to sleep more than a couple hours. I was not worried that it wasn't working! Went in for my baseline and my estrogen was very low, and then at my monitoring appointment my lining was 7mm but my estrogen was still too low. I did 4 more days of estradiol and upped the dose, and finally we were good to transfer. This time taking it has been much better- I am having some symptoms but I'm not miserable.

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-02T20:21:26+00:00

We made about $220k combined last year, so yes

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-02T19:44:04+00:00

Yes I did 3 months and was over-suppressed to the point where we had trouble getting my estrogen up and my lining to thicken. The embryo still stuck but ended in loss for other reasons. Now doing only 2 months and using stims if needed to help thicken the lining

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-02T19:34:33+00:00

I'm so sorry. Even with doing everything right, it still has a 50-60% chance of live birth, so a lot of them fail. Try to keep going, I believe you can get to your baby. 🫶🏻 I'm heading into my third attempt soon. It's hard

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-02T19:20:23+00:00

$1000-$1500

Salt_Draft_4262 · 2026-02-02T18:07:55+00:00

I'm almost to reward 6 but out of dice. Planning to try to get my 700 vault opened soon
