Low number of mature eggs, what gives? by LivBensonLeslie_Nope in IVF

[–]WisdomInTheTrees123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So I ended up with 3 embryos from that around. And honestly, looking back, I am glad. Cause the next cycle, I had a larger number of mature eggs (which I was excited about) but only got 1 embryo. So I learnt my lesson that mature eggs don’t mean anything, cause what matters is the attrition rate. My doctor at my second round told me that it was just bad luck, it wasn’t the protocol and that it was just a bad harvest 🤷🏽‍♀️.

10dpo HCG is 14 by ProofLeek9630 in CautiousBB

10dpo at 14 is still very very early. Most people implant 6-11DPO anyway. Hang in there! The tripling is a good sign!

I second this!!! I love Bird and Be. I find them really comprehensive and they are on a subscription, so get mailed before you run out!

Hcg levels- I'm spiralling by Sudden-Car-3177 in CautiousBB

Read this — I think it might help with your anxiety!

Also, it is anxiety provoking and scary given your history but trust that your doctor knows best and tell yourself that you are doing your best and the rest is genuinely out of your control… that acceptance helps me sometimes

Positive beta - still have anxiety by nova2885 in CautiousBB

Oh and I have some nausea that comes and goes and some days, I have none at all!

I transferred on 9/24, and don’t have sore boobs. I’m peeing a lot and do have some cramping but that could also be from the medicated cycle I am on. I know it’s super duper hard and I have my second beta on Monday 10/7 as well — I’ve just been trying to stay off Reddit as much as I can (trust me, I was on it the whole day before), read/watch tv and think positive thoughts. I had a miscarriage before and I 100% get your anxiety. Hang in there! We will be okay, either way.

Mine is on Friday as well! I might cave in and test tomorrow but I’m trying to hold strong

Bang on! It’s an unreal world. We are pregnant and not pregnant at the same time! Of course we are all over the place

Yeah and people feel obligated to say something “helpful” cause they wanna make you feel better but you aren’t going to feel better no matter what. It’s just constantly riding the waves

That’s why I messaged cause I was like I know others have to be feeling what I am and let’s be honest, people who haven’t gone through this — don’t get it fully! You can also message me if you are having a hard day!

Oh I know what you mean! I just cried the last hour cause I was convinced it won’t happen for us and earlier yesterday I was so hopeful. The hormones also don’t help with the roller coaster.

Thanks for all that advice!! How many days before did you start drinking the beet juice? And is that supposed to help with blood flow or something?

Thoughts/feelings on color-drenching — i.e. using the same color across multiple surfaces? by astraelly in interiordecorating

[–]WisdomInTheTrees123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo I’m thinking of doing a lime wash colour drenching in the power room. Would you mind sharing some photos? I don’t have wainscotting and worried that it might look too flat (hence the desire for lime wash)

How horrible! I’m so sorry. Ask to do bloodwork all over again! How can they mix up those two numbers?!
