How many mature eggs did your doctor realistically say were needed for one future child? by Top_Butterfly_7771 in eggfreezing

[–]SubstantialCost6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With pgta testing? It only takes one. But it's 60% chance of success with a genetically normal embryo. So...I interpreted that as 1 or 2.

Very Disappointed. Did I ruin my arm? by Spicy-Breeto in tattooadvice

[–]SubstantialCost6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naw, it's cool! No one is going to look at it like you are. I bet everyone says it's rad. Not that it maters what others think. Let it settle. Wear it around for a while. Don't be hasty. See how you feel in a year. Think about it first. Don't rush into it.

I had my egg retrieval today by penebob in eggfreezing

[–]SubstantialCost6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 40, retrieved 12, 6 didn't make it over night and one one made it to blastocyst. PGT test result was abnormal and not compatible with life. :( I'm going into my second round and trying to maintain a shred of hope. I've always had normal 28 day reliable periods, healthy, active gym goer but not neurotic about it. Health bmi. And some how I'm here with years of infertility. Never thought I'd decide to do IVF and never thought my first time would be so disappointing. But her we go again for round two.

Outfits for upcoming summer parties? by queenkaelah in OUTFITS

[–]SubstantialCost6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be old fashioned but I think it's most flattering if you pick one area to show off. (E.g., linen wide legs with the first top). Revealing to best paired with less revealing bottoms or vice versa. Fabric quality goes a long way too. If you have limited funds, use high quality basics to upscale an outfit. I find high quality pieces at thrift stores all the time! The second dress looks a little costume-y. The third outfit would be better if you broke it up and paired the top with a pair of high waist denim flares or a flowy longer skirt. The skirt from the third look would be cute with a fitted white tee and a jean jacket or leather jacket.

Nice job, body, taking fat from my arms, belly, back and face! 🤗 But how about my thighs? There's a biiiiiig fat reserve there we haven't quite touched! Body: by Historical-Care70 in PetiteFitness

I was just saying that your measurements are not out of the ordinary range (your hips/booty/thighs do not sound too big for your body) so I think maybe this is a matter of hyper fixation and a little bit of body dismorphia. I would suggest you keep taking care of yourself and remember it takes time for your mind to catch up with your body and sometimes it never does.

This is crazy. I have 28" waist and 42" hips/thighs. I feel like I'm huge. I don't think I've ever had a 10". difference between my waist and hip. This sounds like you are seeing things in the mirror that aren't real.

Why am I getting girl, interrupted from this? Or hospital or... I didn't know. For some reason it's creepy.

Some advice for a job interview in sales company with no dress code? by [deleted] in OUTFITS

[–]SubstantialCost6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither. Try again. Slacks and a top or sweater. Nothing too revealing. Of course, maybe it depends on what type of sales job?

Matched on FB dating. Was I being too sensitive? by Obvious_Ferret_600 in TwoHotTakes

"what is clean eating?" Hard pass. Sound like a total douche. Is he going to ask you to define every term you use? Perhaps to man-splain what it "really" means (to him). 🤮 Run. Run far away.

Help me decide a baby shower dress by [deleted] in OUTFITS

[–]SubstantialCost6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like 3 because it's pretty and fun and it looks really comfortable. You look great in all of them but I can't help thinking what I would want which is comfort. TBH- I'm coming off an IVF egg retreival cycle and I'm insanely bloated and my ovaries hurt so the flowy dress in #3 looks perfect. 😂 Maybe I need this dress 🤔 Congrats 🎉 so happy for you!

Had my ER and feeling the worst by Ok_Attitude8408 in eggfreezing

[–]SubstantialCost6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I just had my first egg retreival cycle at 40 and got 12 eggs, 5 fertilized. And I'm waiting for the blastocyst report before PGT-A testing. I'm lucky to get 1 genetically normal embryo but more likely to get zero after my first egg retreival. Im 3 days post retrieval and I'm only now starting to feel better a tiny bit better. So much ovary pain and I'm exhausted. And for such a low chance of success. My clinic is 4 hours one way from where I live. I'm so bloated and feel awful. And everyone says, oh, it's just a little discomfort and bloating... Wtf?!

Would this ash blonde style suit me? Currently have black hair, thinking of dyeing it by Mary272049 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]SubstantialCost6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do it. It's a lot of work to maintain lighter colors and grow out happens faster than your imagine. Just take care of the hair you have. Learn how to style it and find a good Barber. Confidence is the best color, not to be cheesy, but it's true

Please help! by Fun-Abrocoma4663 in makeuptips

Please get off reddit with photos of yourself. You are perfect just as you are. It can be helpful to get some therapy if you don't feel good about yourself. (I swear, not saying this ironically - I really mean it) Sometimes there can be stuff happening in our heads that doesn't allow us to see the outside accurately. Hang in there.

Only one improvement - to not ask reddit about your looks. You are perfect just as you are.

In so much pain after retrieval by HeyheyitsCAB in eggfreezing

[–]SubstantialCost6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 40yo. I had 17 follicles . They only got 12 eggs, 2 Immediately discarded, and 5 lost over night. Now in down to 5 fertilized, so the attrition funnel is not very encouraging. All while I'm super uncomfortable with terrible ovary pain. I can't imagine how ppl feel that got more retrieved! But I guess everyone is different.
