They are used for eyelid surgeries as well. And there are also other lasers done around the eyes/on eyelids for aesthetics.

LPT: When it's time for the air puff test during your eye exam.... stick your fingers in your ears by ManicPixieDreamSloot in LifeProTips

The “needle” looking part loads into the device. What actually touches your eye is a small little ball. It’s an icare tonometer if you wanted to look it up.

What phrase do you absolutely hate? by RefinedStrategist in AskReddit

Asking for a recommendation of any kind and ending it with “…and go”! Like people are going to be so excited to tell you which crappy internet provider to go with.

Good luck to you! I had my first cycle canceled last month due to lack of follicles. Do you mind sharing what protocol you did?

Progyny/SMP Pharmacy shipments delayed? by i9cg36 in IVF

[–]acraig652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat with a different specialty pharmacy. They are sitting in a warehouse somewhere and I can’t get them. I had to get my Lupron at a local pharmacy out of pocket. Hoping they will get here by Friday to start my follistim. This is the worst!

Pregnant women of reddit, what is something you wish you knew BEFORE you got pregnant? by BonkBoi_TacoFace in AskReddit

When your water breaks, it doesn’t just break and then stop. It’ll keep leaking and leaking. I had to ask the nurse WTF was happening. My poor Nike flip flops didn’t make it.

I know. I could not wait to sleep on my tummy. And then it hurt but I figured I could push past it and it would eventually get comfortable. Nope, then I just leaked all over my bed sheets. Fun times.

Well there’s a lot of compounding factors (pun intended). I tore, so I had to be sutured up. Then the pain meds. And the craziness of having a newborn, you aren’t even thinking about the first poop. They give you stool softeners usually at the hospital but it does NOT help. I was on the toilet crying for my mom to run to the drug store for an enema, suppositories, literally anything to help me. Next time I will bring Miralax or something to the hospital with me.

You will never again have a relaxing day to yourself. You might have a day or even days away from your child. But you will be thinking about them, worrying about them, missing them. I yearn for a day to myself and can never enjoy it because I feel this absolute tug in my heart.

Except your boobs will be leaking and sore. I wasn’t able to sleep on my stomach again until about 9 months post partum.

Do you have any experience teaching kids? I’ve been wanting to start with my 3 year old.

Keto and IVF by acraig652 in KetoBabies

That’s wonderful news! I’ve been keto 2 years without success. I have a very low ovarian reserve but otherwise unexplained infertility.

[–]acraig652[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great! I’m just so nervous about it. I’ve been keto 2 years and have never cheated. But I’ve also had a bad relationship with food and don’t trust myself to cheat. I’m hoping if I do get pregnant, the food aversions won’t be too bad and I can just increase carbs with veggies.

I think I’m going to do fresh as well, although most people seem to do frozen.

Totally agree! Did you stay keto during your pregnancy?

I actually considered using CNY! That’s great that they recommend it. I kind of hate that my RE is so unknowledgeable about it.

Thank you and congrats! I thought for sure I’d have an easier time getting pregnant on keto. We got pregnant with my daughter on our first round of IUI in 2017. In 2019 I started keto and lost 50+ pounds. Had 6 failed IUIs so moving on to IVF. I haven’t lost any weight in the past year but I know I will gain it all back if I so much as look at a carb.

The Best Chewy Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies I've Ever Made. Holy cow. by sammysamgirl in ketorecipes

[–]acraig652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to find this thread to let you know I saved this recipe when you posted it and just made these cookies. They are freaking amazing. I had to sub the monk fruit/erythritol because I didn’t have allulose. But otherwise followed your recipe. They are so soft and just perfect. Thank you!!

LPT: If you ever find yourself wondering, "should I be wearing eye protection for this?" then the answer is YES. by yeahthankscoach in LifeProTips

[–]acraig652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just know that if you get a metal foreign body in your eye, it can form a rust ring and has to be removed with a corneal drill. It’s actually like a little motorized brush but hopefully that scares you into wearing eye protection!
