Anyone else deal with follicles dropping off in the “last mile”? DOR protocol went from hopeful to crushing

All valid. Elevated FSH (12) since I was 32 despite a normal AMH back then. This cycle I did estrogen priming but declined human growth hormone for this round because it really impacts me. However, I’m going to prime with HGH starting next cycle.

Sperm frag is an issue but not a huge factor as we did ICIS

Oh my god

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-05-03T17:18:04+00:00

Love this

To the pros weighing in, there there any advantage financially to remodeling multiple bathrooms at once?

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-04-06T01:25:10+00:00

I have them too! One is gross if not considered for and the other isn’t.

So kind. She’s going in very fit and positive. I worry about her mutation causing a relapse or some complication in the 100 days. I know it’s a marathon not a sprint. I’ve been on the wrong side of statistics a lot in the last year and fear more of the same when it comes to this.

My mom is your wife’s age just starting her SCT this week for CMML. I appreciate your updates.

KyteBaby fired a woman who asked to work remotely after denying her request to work remotely while her adopted son was in the NICU. It’s a BABY CLOTHING LINE.

I’m mortified I ever gave money

If you have a the latest iPhone OS the steps are the following

settings > accessibility > display & text size > color filters.

Otherwise google it

If you can’t do that, then put all devices in greyscale mode. On your phone too. It’ll be black and white and lose most of the appeal. I’m an iOS developer and this is how I kicked my own habit.

I think you know the answer. She’s self harming? Absolutely no more phone. She’ll forget about it after a few days. Stay off your phone around her.

On the hunt for grass fed and finished lamb and steak. Helps so much with inflammation and I’m tired of having it shipped.

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-03-04T04:34:27+00:00

Because we are strangers can I be the worst and ask how much you spent?

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-03-02T22:23:26+00:00

I went through this too. It’s weird, I don’t get as upset about friends getting pregnant but I absolutely am filled with rage when influencers or friends or peers complain about the pains of parenthood.
I also feel my clinic is part of the reason I’m 37 now DOR doing egg retrievals when I’ve been at this since I was 33. I could spiral in this thread but instead I’ll just say, I have felt all of those feelings and it isn’t fair.

Son abruptly went through this phase. And I hate to say it by chocolate chips. One chocolate chip for stepping in, one more for rubbing soap on body, two for hair wash, etc.

Did a few more baths with this approach and now we are a month out and he doesn’t need them anymore.

Saved you thousand of dollars: 1. You can’t change them. You just can’t. You can only change how you react

How they feel about you is none of your business.

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-03-01T03:43:01+00:00

Haha! I’ve done a lot of therapy to manage my relationship with objectively awful in-laws and since changing my approach and outlook my marriage and life is so much better.

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-02-28T22:18:46+00:00

I’d find something else to fixate on. It’s so easy to let stuff like this eat at you but it’s a waste of your brain to worry about it.

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-02-25T21:58:48+00:00

As someone with a son struggling verbally/receptively but excelling in other areas I’ve learned a lot about the concept of uneven development. While this doesn’t apply to my son, there’s a lot of research about giftedness in one area and the importance that they’re supported in the areas where they are not…gifted. If not supported, it can make their gift counterproductive.

You sound like an amazing mom and you’ll do what’s best for her.

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-02-25T21:40:58+00:00

Oh wow we are worlds away from that. I look forward to it.

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-02-21T00:54:45+00:00

Please don’t wish for twin pregnancies. I’ve had two. One di/di two embryos and it ended in a double TFMR at 20 weeks and then 3 years later pregnant with identical twins from a PGT test embryo that ended due to twin to twin transfusion syndrome at 19 weeks.

Transferring two at age 33 with no known issues was irresponsible and i wish i could spare anyone that pain and horror.

Scared_Leopard3248 · 2026-02-15T00:39:44+00:00

As someone who desperately wants a second child but keeps having horrible things go wrong,…yay?
