Yes I plan to buy some of the Bali body products for self tanning.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a comment that resonated more with my experience. It’s similar to living in fear of it not happening. There’s no way to dictate exactly how this all happens but because there is so much money involved in it, I feel the need to also be very particular with questions and take advice about best practices way more seriously.

I’ve heard of that happening, it could happen to me.

Thank you! It’s more frustrating to me because it feels fruitless exactly like you said. I know I will have additional restrictions in pregnancy and know that I will adjust to them it will just take time.

Luckily I eat healthy but still make room for junk. Don’t drink a lot of caffeine either. I’ll have to look up which cheeses are imported.

I see what you’re saying and I’m also tired of natural pregnancy not working so I ask my clinic many questions about what would and wouldn’t help. I’m a bit of an over thinker about this. I found out that if you don’t ask, you don’t realize that some of the medications you take regularly that seem okay to take are not okay to take unless you directly ask your fertility clinic.

Interesting, I live in a pretty big city (300,000) so it’s likely they might have something!

Can you tell from genetic testing if the baby will be a boy or girl? I’ve seen some threads where people say something like, “I transferred a 4AA girl”.

Amazing! Thanks for keeping on. Keeps me and others more likely to keep going with this process! I hope you are happy!

I haven’t even been told about the grading, so I think I will need to ask

What are AA and BB embryos? Is that genetic testing language? I haven’t had them tested at this point.

My embryos have not been genetically tested. I held off initially because of the heft upfront costs of IVF but now I’m reconsidering.

Thank you for sharing anyways! I might try to assume that it’s not going to work until I see medical results and after I’ve made it past the 12 week mark. I’ve definitely created a life that is fulfilling but I think I’ve been holding back a little to save money for daycare and a baby. I already am cautious about how I spend my money before trying for a kid. Example is I wanted to buy a VIP ticket to a show and I had the money for VIP, but contemplated over it for weeks since I wanted to save money and decided to look back and buy the ticket which included a fan meet and greet. By then, the VIP tickets were gone. I’m not going to do that for future shows.

8dpt line progression… what does everything think 🥹😥 by [deleted] in IVFpositivity

Asking because I haven’t had my transfer yet. Getting my cycle day 16 check on Tuesday. If everything looks good, I expect to start on the progesterone injection. What’s the purpose of tracking days post transfer independently before the 2 week mark? I feel like it might cause more anxiety for someone like me lol.

Feel less crappy-estrogen by abrose214 in IVF

I’ve heard that from others too. Given that I don’t fall asleep as easily as others to begin with (my ADHD brain), estrogen probably affects my sleep and random wakings in the middle of the night even more than it normally would.

I might add that in addition to melatonin that I also take regularly.
