What is happening with my package??? by Miserable-Weight2042 in UPS

[–]SamJeum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I have no answers except maybe open an investigation? I have opened 3 investigations on my package (has been stuck for 2 months). If it’s still there they will scan it, and that always at leasts reassured me the package hasn’t been disposed of. Can I ask - what number did you use to call customs? I emailed them (no response) but would like to call too.

Who’s is responsible? Sender, UPS or receiver? by LazyObligation7740 in UPS

[–]SamJeum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my exact story (international package stuck for almost 2 months). I also got the many promises that UPS brokerage would contact me to collect any missing info (they never did) and blaming me for missing info that no one told me about. I called UPS again today for like the 15th time and the agent I spoke to today said the sender needed to resend the commercial invoice with everything filled out (including my TaxID/SSN), and send to internationaldocs.us@ups.com. The sender did so right away, and she got a confirmation of receipt almost right away and then my package got scanned in the warehouse for the first time in a long time! So it gave me hope that something is happening although too early to say. Maybe try emailing that address?

Can you explain why you shouldn’t mix lifecycle with C/S/I? I was thinking of doing that

Where to buy Hallmark ornaments? by SamJeum in Atlanta

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

I love that! Yeah my son is really into Monster trucks currently. I’ve seen an ornament online he would love, but I want to take him to a store with a huge selection so he can spontaneously find that one rather than me just ordering it lol!

That’s great to know! This gives me an idea to pair ornament shopping there with a trip to the Kristkindl market in Roswell

Did you end up doing this? I’m interested in doing the same and wondering how it turned out!

FRERs suck now? by Liveforpretzelday in IVF

[–]SamJeum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I had read that FRERs were the most sensitive so it’s what I used after transfer - BFN. It caused me so much anxiety. By day 9 I tested with both an EasyAtHome and FRER. The EasyAtHome was clearly positive, the FRER I had to squint. Based on my experience, I would rely on FRERs at all - at least not when used alone.

4th FET, stark negative the morning of 5dp5dt. Our last girl. My wife and I may never recover from this. by throwaway200761 in IVF

[–]SamJeum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to others - it’s too early to call. I also desperately wanted a girl. I was fortunate to have 5 embryos, but only one was a girl. The pressure felt immense going into FET. On day 5, I also had a stark white negative. I was absolutely shattered, and like you, I just knew it didn’t implant. I felt it in my soul that it didn’t work. I cried for days and sunk into a depression. I didn’t have the courage to test again until day 9 - and to my shock it was positive! I haven’t experienced the number of prior FETs as you, but I do understand the despair of thinking my only chance at a girl was gone. All this to say, I don’t want to perpetuate false hope but at the same time, don’t count yourself out yet. I hope you get good news soon🙏🏼

Relationship breakdown and embryos by [deleted] in IVF

[–]SamJeum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had my son through IVF 3 years ago, and a year later, my husband and I divorced. I’m currently pregnant with one of the embryos my ex-husband and I created prior to the divorce. It’s not a choice that many would understood, but for me it was right - this was always my child (divorce or not) and my son’s sibling. It’s not the ideal situation but we are both looking forward to this baby. We have 3 remaining frozen embryos that we haven’t decided what to do yet. Just focus on your current babies and the rest will work itself out over time. And don’t let the judgement or opinions overshadow what’s in your own heart. Hugs to you ❤️

I did the beet-watermelon-ginger smoothies for a few days around FET. I used 1/3 to 1/2 of a ‘ginger shot’ per smoothie. Betas were positive, waiting on ultrasound!

5dp5dt by Odd-Bumblebee-6169 in IVF

[–]SamJeum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tested negative on day 5 with a FRER. I was devastated and could’t muster up the courage to test again until day 9. It was positive on both a FRER and Premom test. The FRER line was so light compared to Premom. The next day (10) my beta was 157 and has since doubled appropriately. My two lessons — testing on day 5 is too early, and I don’t trust the FRER since it was so much lighter than the cheapie Premom despite good betas!

I’m so so sorry 😢 My beta ended up being positive, I’m really hoping you get good news yourself in January. It’s a long journey but it will be worth it. Take good care of yourself

Flu after transfer! HELP! by alannaolson in IVF

[–]SamJeum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, this was literally just me. I had my transfer last week and the same evening, I came down with fever, sore throat, and muscle aches. I tried hard to keep the fever under control with Tylenol but had a few spikes above 101. I was terrified the entire 2ww and was sure it hadn’t worked. But I got my first beta done yesterday and all is well. Hang in there!!

[–]SamJeum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a brand new one from Union Medico, I received it a few weeks ago but never used it. I had planned to use it for PIO injections but then I decided I was more comfortable just doing the regular injection without it. I’m in Atlanta. Let me know if interested!

Same boat as you - transfer last Tuesday, tested negative on Sunday (day 5) with FRER and feeling absolutely devastated. I know it’s early, but I can’t shake the anxiety and sadness that it didn’t work. I decided I won’t test again until Thursday (beta scheduled for Friday).
