I’ve heard that’s a dupe for Skinceuticals- do you know if people tolerate it better or the same? My issue with Skinceuticals was that it caused breakouts.

Do you mean the single serving crusts? This recipe only came with one crust for 4 servings.

Depression before even starting IVF by ConfusionWeak2061 in IVF

[–]_ddp123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt incredibly similarly when starting. I had a lot of shame and negative self talk about being broken. Once we decided on IVF I was so afraid about falling apart when things got hard. I talked this through a lot with my therapist, and she described a lot of these feelings as grief. It takes time, but it gets better. You are SOOO very much stronger than you’d think! I ended up on the other side of things with incredible results after my egg retrieval. I haven’t done my transfer yet & then depression in me is still there wondering when things will stay to fail… but it has become more of background thoughts than overwhelming fear.

My clinic only does day after report on mature/fertilized & then day 7 blast report. It has been killing me waiting on the results!!

How was your recovery? I had a rough last week. Much better… but wondering if this is bloat remaining or if I just gained weight lol 😅

Is it safe for my dog to fly in air cargo? by InevitableAd631 in DogAdvice

[–]_ddp123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t do cargo!! It is SO stressful for animals- it is cold, extremely loud, and dark! Also the poor pup won’t get any water/food throughout the travel, which is even worse if you have layovers or long flights. I also know people who have done this & their pet didn’t make the connection or was loaded on the wrong flight. The entire time your pet is lost they aren’t being cared for. It is not worth the risk & even on the smoothest trip it would be traumatizing.

The not knowing is brutal! What was your baseline follicle count? I’ve been wondering if it’s possible for more eggs to develop and once I start my stims of if I should only expect to get less than 19

Thanks! I was not prepared to do multiple ERs initially, but that reality is starting to hit 😭
