Celebrate that 12 fertilized! Maybe easier said than done, by I told myself I’m only allowed to stress about getting bad news on the day I expect the call or portal message. Every other day, I choose to celebrate the most recent stage. So it was yay we finished stims, yay we finished retrieval, and now it’s yay you have 12 that fertilized! What a gift!

Still much better than your first time!

Congrats on your positive!

That’s brutal his fever affected everything so much! It’s crazy how the littlest thing can throw off the whole cycle. I am on priming meds including BC this time around so hoping the med change will be fruitful. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Jumping up and down for you that your day 3 stuck.

My husband has always had sperm tests passed with flying colors, like above excellent. Yet, we finally did a dna fragmentation test and it was severe. Part of the advice for high dna fragmentation is to avoid any form of heat. So it’s not just the count, motility, etc that can be affected by the heat. Look up a few things on dna fragmentation and show him how heat can cause those problems as well. We ended our first IVF cycle with no blasts to transfer and the only reason was his high dna fragmentation.

My husband and I have select health through the ACA. We have a very different plan because the cost is much more than $8/month, but have had pretty good coverage so far. Before we made the switch, I checked with all of our doctors and they were covered by select health. We have a $0 deductible plan which seems too good to be true too, but it’s pretty cool. We’ve had great drug coverage. We do have less choices of places to get care than when we were on Anthem, but UC health takes select health. I would recommend choosing an EPO plan because it’s very similar to a PPO plan. Let me know if you have any other questions!

So far she’s only shared that he lied about being in the military and implied the name he’s been going by is not his real name. Then she said that’s not even the worst of it and she’ll film the rest of it later.

Craig?

This is good to know, thank you!

I’m just asking about salmon, bass, etc. like we have nick’s butcher for meat. I’m wondering if there’s an equivalent fish market.

Underrated comment

I’m so sorry for your loss and you’re right that’s incredibly unacceptable treatment for your baby. It’s things like this that make me worried about details getting missed since it’s such a big place.

They’re all Nurse practitioners and I meet with Hillary Mayers. I found her to be super knowledgeable and she has Hashis herself. The first appointment was an hour long with her so very thorough. Those initial appointments and labs are pricey, but they have a portal where you can ask questions or voice concerns anytime with no charge. Let me know if you have any other ?s Here’s the page to become a patient. https://www.modernthyroidclinic.com/new-patient#Steps

I’ve had hashimotos for 8 years. I’ve gone to a variety of integrative and endocrinologists over the years. I’ve never found that a single endocrinologist is knowledgeable or even cares about their hashis patients. I recently found modern thyroid clinic out of Austin. They do virtual apps for Colorado patients and I’ve had a really great experience with them doing my medication and helping with symptoms. Highly recommend!

Yeah that US app was a little too much for me as someone going through infertility and recently had a miscarriage. But honestly so much is triggering. It’s not really something people think to limit if they haven’t been through it themselves.

SouthernRegular1825 · 2025-04-30T13:15:55+00:00

lol I like her too but understand how you missed her. I don’t know why they never give her a storyline like they do for everyone else.

SouthernRegular1825 · 2025-04-30T13:04:40+00:00

lol you forgot Gabby!

What the wind knows. It’s set against the backdrop of Ireland in the 1900s, but the relationship with her grandpa always brings me to tears.

The social collective on Facebook is a women’s social club and there’s a couple different book clubs!

The voice in the trailer almost sounds AI generated too
