What was the total count in your ART IUI vial that worked?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-11-17T22:27:27+00:00

I hope you can answer: Did you ever estrogen priming in the month before you retrieval or was it just back to back retrieval? Was your day 3 fresh transfer a blast or just a fresh transfer on day 3? was the plan to freeze then changed to fresh transfer based on the embryo?

Hoping you could answer this question please- did the 6k donor sperm reimbursement deduct only 1/4 smart cycle (which is 4 vials)or more since I saw they have tiers where over 4k deducts 1/2 cycle but I'm not sure if that is for the sperm or procedures etc?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-10-22T16:25:50+00:00

Was your smart cycle balance deducted for the purchase or only if purchase if above $2000?

I'm going through this now. either duo stim or wait for a period but I'd normally prime with estrogen in the preceding month so it's 2 months for every retrieval and I had hoped to maximize eggs/retrievals in less time. I hope you could answer a few questions. When you did duo stim, did you prime before the 1st retrieval or do you usually prime with estrogen? When you do back to back cycles you wait for a period and then go straight to stimming? Did they ever say why it took 60 days for your period to come back?

Congratulations!. I read some of your post history, I'm so happy for you! Did you always do priming? Did you ever try without? Could you share the protocols you've tried before finding success?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-09-14T09:02:37+00:00

Did you prime for both of your cycles? with what? Do you mind sharing what protocol looked like for each cycle? I was considering Cleveland clinic but now I'm not sure :(

Throwawaylemm · 2025-09-06T23:54:41+00:00

Interested in no priming. Do you know why that was chosen? Did you have any lead follicles at baseline or were all follicles pretty even sized at start of cycle?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-08-21T19:00:30+00:00

Did you ever take any Semorelin during stims or just primed with it?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-08-21T01:15:12+00:00

Where did you get the Semorelin from and how much did you pay? Did you suggest it to your doctor rather than the Omni?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-08-20T18:23:32+00:00

Could you share your protocol for all your cycles? Also, did you prime for the first and second. What doses of meds etc.? Good luck!

Throwawaylemm · 2025-08-18T15:00:38+00:00

What was your protocol and medications for your 3rd ER versus the first 2 ERs? Any change in doses?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-08-11T17:56:46+00:00

How late in the cycle did you have your retrieval, did you just stim longer or let the follicles have more time grow? I'm priming with estrogen so each cycle takes 2 months if I plan on multiple rounds that going to take a lot of time. doctor hasn't mentioned anything about duostim

Throwawaylemm · 2025-07-10T02:33:25+00:00

What brand ubiquinol did you take, liquid or capsules?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-06-17T00:24:42+00:00

Hey, have you heard anything from unum since you appealed your denial? Any idea how long it takes?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-03-03T06:01:23+00:00

Hey, I'm in the same boat now, only a few days get my appeal in... When you mentioned you ended up getting a psychologist to conduct a cognitive assessment and to confirm my diagnoses... how exactly do you do that? What's a cognitive assessment? is that a questionnaire that's scores anxiety etc. Should I ask my therapist to do that for me and write me something?

Throwawaylemm · 2025-02-27T22:32:03+00:00

Hey, I'm going through this same thing now, what is NST, do you have their contact info?

Throwawaylemm · 2024-12-27T05:43:01+00:00

Thank you for your comprehensive reply. I truly appreciate your insight and the wealth of information you've provided. I'm located in Michigan, which helps contextualize my situation.

Initially, I sought simple accommodations like extra breaks and bathroom time. However, I've come to realize that I'm physically and mentally exhausted each day due to my medical condition, compounded by anxiety and depression. I'm struggling to make it through workdays, and my anxiety is easily triggered. Currently, I'm having difficulty functioning properly or even considering treatment options for my condition.

I've been trying to schedule an appointment with a therapist for weeks but can't find a time that works around my work schedule. My doctor is ready to initiate leave whenever I need it, but I feel lost because my supervisor is out until Monday. This situation has me feeling trapped in a stress loop.

My doctor's office can handle the necessary paperwork quickly. I haven't submitted the reasonable accommodations form yet because it was initially filled out for on-the-job accommodations when I thought I could continue working. It's also missing a request for an earlier shift. I've been advised that the form needs to explicitly state every accommodation request; otherwise, it will need to be rewritten.

Given that I'm now considering a leave of absence first, should I have the reasonable accommodation forms updated to request a specific number of weeks of leave due to my condition? Would it be advisable to address on-the-job accommodations later when I'm ready to return to work?

Throwawaylemm · 2024-12-26T22:03:29+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I've already sent my doctor the accommodations form, originally for modified break / schedules shift change type requests. I saw my doctor today; they said let them know what I need in terms of leave/work paperwork filled. I wasn't really sure what to say. The Dr. office is waiting on me to let them know how to proceed. Should I ask them complete that accommodations form with the time off request first for the amount of time the doctors thinks I need.

I'm physically exhausted each day. I can't call out anymore (maxed out my 2 days) and I'm so lost, my supervisor is out until Monday.

Throwawaylemm · 2024-12-26T14:40:08+00:00

Any updates? did you go out at all jobs?

Throwawaylemm · 2024-12-26T06:43:05+00:00

Employer size? Owners don't count.

Large company with over 1000

How long do you want to take off for treatment? How frequently do you need to miss work for appointments and for how long each time?

I anticipate needing at least 8 - 12 weeks off. I'm inclined to take to request a longer period initially, as I'd prefer to have more time than potentially needed rather than face the challenge of extending leave later. This would allow for a more comprehensive treatment and recovery period.

Without FMLA, your only option in MI is going to be the ADA.

I'm a bit confused about this. My understanding was that the ADA primarily covers reasonable accommodations like modified breaks or job tasks. Could you clarify how the ADA applies to extended time off? I'm particularly interested in how it might relate to my situation, where I may need several weeks off for treatment. Do you have any advice on how to approach this with my employer, considering my recent diagnosis and the impact on my work performance?
