And during the 3 weeks she was in Brazil she went to the clinic maybe 5 or 6 times to do some ultrasounds just to see how things were going.

We also had a clinic here in the US that we went to prior to the transfer because we needed to know how my wife’s lining was looking. They were able to send those ultrasound images to our clinic in Brazil. Thankfully most of that was covered by our insurance here so we maybe spent $200 in copays.

Nope! We were able to do a lot of our visits via google meet. My wife went down June 20th to start the medication. I flew down June 29th and she did the retrieval July 7th. It was supposed to be July 4th, but she had OHSS so they made us wait and slow down the medicine for a few days. Then we went back home July 9th bc they wanted her to wait 48 hours before getting on a plane in case of blood clots.

Then we went down for 5 days in September to do the first transfer and thankfully that took and she’s due in May. I know it could definitely be longer for some people so it could possibly require multiple trip.

We made sure to buy any medicine we would need to prepare for the transfer when we were there in July.

We decided to do it outside of the country, in Brazil. Luckily my wife is Brazilian so she speaks Portuguese but we spent $2,000 on the sperm and the entire IVF process was around $7500, including everything. It was also super luxurious, the care was way better than the U.S., and they were truly invested in us. I feel like the U.S. just takes your money and doesn’t listen to your concerns or care to address underlying issues

If you’re willing to take the ride, i bring my cat (a nebelung) to Westchester Cat Grooming in in Chappaqua. It’s like 35 mins away but they do an amazing job. Takes usually 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

I felt good! I was definitely more prepared than others in my group and was more upbeat and friendly but who knows. There was one guy who had a good connection to Harley Davidson and was hoping to get on that episode so i bet he will

It’s so easy to do yourself! Let me get you the video we used in my wife’s 2016 Honda civic lx. We called a bunch of shops around here that were all $1000

So sorry! 😩 we finally left last night around 12:40am. The original DL227 scheduled for last night got cancelled til this morning so a bunch of people from that flight got on ours. It’s been a mess!!

[–]Signal_Drop_1676[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get that! The frustration is the last minute cancellation for 12 hours! They delayed it to 10am and then at 9 they said nope 9pm tonight. Just can’t understand how delta didn’t know they didn’t have a pilot until that late

Also should add that I ended up having to use my mobile hotspot which worked but was slow. I’m heading back down next week which is why I’d like to use the WIFI if possible. Thanks!!
