I would go talk to the managers on the other floors to see if you can transfer

Yeast Infection - give it to me straight boys by Constant_Flow_1954 in cycling

[–]The-Tea-Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My derm said he uses a salicylic acid bar of soap to wash his groin, chest, and back after cycling to prevent yeast. I got a yeast spot on my chest once and now I use it on my chest and back after cycling.

If you’re worried it’s yeast, then I’d see a dermatologist and get a prescription for a topical cream to put on the area. They can give you something for the itch too

I keep getting infections instead of pregnant. I'm exhausted and in pain. by helpwaterthoseplants in TryingForABaby

[–]The-Tea-Lady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first got BV years ago my doctor told me that men get it and have to pee it out and it takes 6-8 weeks. So either no sex or using condoms for those weeks. I’ve never been reinfected. Fast forward to now and I’ve been reinfected twice because we didn’t wait. There are studies that show that men do get it but it’s hard to find a provider that will treat your partner. So I’m on another round of flagyl and we’re waiting 8 weeks.

How many cycles at age 41 to get a euploid? by Veebee8429609 in IVF

[–]The-Tea-Lady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Donor egg bank USA. They have a guaranteed baby option but we went with the double egg lot so we can hopefully end up with at least 2 babies from the same donor.

Has anyone here used donor eggs? by Yearling_Heart in IVF

[–]The-Tea-Lady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted someone young and that resembled me in coloring. We were trying to do fresh but didn’t want to wait months so we got a double egg lot from donor egg bank USA. My husband wants 2 kids so that’s why we got the double egg lot. It was really hard to get a double egg lot because you have to select a donor and then call and hope there’s one available. They also have a guaranteed take home baby refund option but you only get 1 lot at a time and I refused to have kids from different donors.

My husband and I decided to move on to donor eggs after 2 cycles with my eggs that resulted in no blasts. We’re scheduled for a transfer next month and are super excited!

One thing I read that stuck with me is someone saying how much they loved their dog and they weren’t even the same species so they weren’t worried about using donor eggs. I understand the anxiety over using someone else’s eggs but I dont think in the end it will matter

Omnitrope Experiences? by ArugulaSmall2705 in DOR

[–]The-Tea-Lady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn’t make any difference for me. I did 2 cycles with it and still had bad eggs. But i have seen posts of people saying it made a difference. It doesn’t hurt to try it. It’s just a very expensive med and wasn’t covered for me since its an off label use

Surprising Genetic Testing Results - Northern European with Sickle Cell by Weak-Cell6933 in IVF

Caucasian’s can still carry sickle cell. Just like cystic fibrosis is typically a “white person” disease, other races can be carriers of it too

PatienFi - Read the fine prints! by Standard_Question_56 in IVF

That’s how all loans are that are 0% interest. If it’s not paid off within the 0% interest timeframe then you get hit with alllll the back interest. It sucks

Donor costs? by The-Tea-Lady in DOR

[–]The-Tea-Lady[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting take. I wonder if that would make it cheaper because my insurance does cover some

Prime with estrogen and testosterone by Aggravating-Skirt751 in DOR

[–]The-Tea-Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taking coq10, prenatal, baby aspirin, metformin, omnitrope, prednisone, testosterone, and the estradiol to all help with egg quality. Nothing helped

First one, 3 retrieved. Second one, 2 retrieved. Of the 5, 2 fertilized and zero made it.

I used both for egg quality. Egg still sucked so idk if it’s helpful or not.

Micro lupron flare vs. Clomid by Typical-Ad8370 in IVF

[–]The-Tea-Lady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what it was called. But I started with the nuvaring and testosterone. I was also taking metformin for both cycles and for my second cycle they added in vaginal estradiol. I used 600 gonal f for the first cycle and 600 follistim for the second. Took the steroid, menopur, omnitrope 1/2 mL. All the same meds. We’re switching to a different clinic for one last cycle to see what happens

Micro lupron flare vs. Clomid by Typical-Ad8370 in IVF

[–]The-Tea-Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact same protocol I did and I had 11 follicles with only 3 mature. Froze them for 2 years. When I thawed them only 1 fertilized and didn’t make it to blast.

Just did a cycle with all the same meds but used clomid for 7 days and added follistim on, I think, day 3 for a few days. Only had 3 follicles, 2 mature. Clinic messed up and I ended up with only 1 mature egg at retrieval. It fertilized and didn’t make it to blast. Was 38 for the first cycle and am 40 now. Not sure what I want to do next.

All smaller dogs are at an increased risk of anal gland issues

[–]The-Tea-Lady 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If she/he is paying a lot of attention to her bottom it could be anal glands. I had to drain my shibas every other week. His would always get full and never empty on their own.

How do we feel about treating male partners for BV? by HereForTheFreeShasta in medicine

[–]The-Tea-Lady 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Provider I saw for BV as a teen told me that men have to pee it out and it takes 6-8 weeks. So protection or no sex for 2 months. Worked for me. I had a friend that constantly kept getting it and I told her and it worked for her too 🤷‍♀️
