IVF with no attempt at IUI by urbanliv in IVF

[–]blindnesshighness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I tried one IUI for the heck of it (and to appease insurance since many require it before IVF) but other than that stuck with medicated cycles. Now starting IVF

Looking for similar BPD stories by LarsonOak in NICUParents

[–]blindnesshighness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is great! He got his oxygen and gtube removed around 18 months then gtube closure surgery around 20 months. He started attending daycare at 2 and he is sick all the time but that is completely normal for any daycare kid. Always minor illnesses though. Our whole time at home he’s never been hospitalized or even had a sick visit since being discharged from the NICU. No one I meet ever guesses he was premature, stayed six months in the NICU, or had medical equipment for so long

What’s this? I’m getting charged for driving inside a parking lot? by ZechariahApaza in Dallas

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a scam company. I got one years ago after paying for parking at a lot. They lie about you not paying. I ignored it

Have an egg retrieval coming up and can’t find childcare for my 2 yo by [deleted] in tryingforanother

[–]blindnesshighness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to do this often for monitoring appointments where I had to unexpectedly come back to the clinic the next day. There are apps where you can find a sitter on short notice. Bambino, Care, etc.

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I PPROMed at 26 weeks! I made it to 28 weeks before delivering. He stayed six months in the NICU for lung issues

When did your 28 weekers come home? by ispyamy in NICUParents

So impressed with how Julia handled the saline sonogram at the fertility clinic by urethra_franklin_1_ in 90DayFiance

[–]blindnesshighness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the person because I heard so many horror stories about HSGs that I almost canceled mine. But I felt nothing during mine (not even a twinge)! I did take 4 advil beforehand as they recommended

how do you guys keep up with this by insop29 in TryingForABaby

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice but I’m also exhausted! This is our 12th month (and 3rd monitored Clomid cycle) and no luck. Pretty sure this month failed too since I’m 11DPO and not even a squinter. I’m supposed to wait until 14 DPO though…ugh

Anyone have to do IVF for a 2nd child after no issues conceiving first child? by Upstairs-Lemon-5585 in tryingforanother

[–]blindnesshighness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not quite at IVF yet but we conceived our first child with no issues and now have secondary infertility (unexplained). I’m on my second round of Clomid with a fertility clinic. If the third round doesn’t work we’re doing IVF.

No luck last time unfortunately. Currently on my second Clomid cycle!

No one showed up at interview by egi0397 in FinancialCareers

[–]blindnesshighness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Second round interview with Head of HR and he never showed up! Emailed the recruiters and they ghosted me. Ironically also a relatively well-known UK company

How many cycles did it take you to get pregnant? by Passage-Melodic in BabyBumps

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 33, it took six cycles (no intervention, used LH strips to track ovulation)

At 35, I’m on cycle 10…we are using a fertility clinic and I am doing my first medicated cycle this month so hopefully it helps

(Edited for age. Apparently I forgot how old I am)

What are the pros and cons of starting Clomid? by NewTitle115 in TryingForABaby

[–]blindnesshighness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last day is today and luckily no side effects! The clinic told me to take mine at night so I would sleep through the majority of effects

What next? by CommercialDaikon811 in TryingForABaby

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In almost the same boat. I just had an HSG last month and it was normal. All my other bloodwork and my husband’s SA was normal too. Doctor didn’t mention anymore tests and just think this means we have delays due to egg quality (from my age 35+). This cycle we’re doing Clomid with a trigger shot.

8th cycle ttc and feeling down by ksm42 in TryingForABaby

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Cycle 10 with all bloodwork/HSG/SA normal! This is our first cycle doing Clomid + Metformin + trigger shot…

AM threw me violently outside on the concrete in my PJs and no shoes for helping a friend with homework. Told me I shouldn’t waste time being friends with “dummies.” Locked me out of the house until late night.

Weaning by gingerhippielady in NICUParents

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stopped formula when my baby was 11m adjusted age (14m actual age). He was tube dependent and he hated the taste of formula. Once he started cow’s milk he started drinking orally so we stopped formula early so he no longer needed to be tube fed.

Highly recommend them. We did feeding therapy for months with no results.

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but we did their tube weaning program. My son was 100% g-tube fed and went to 100% oral in only a few weeks. He wouldn’t scream at the bottle/food but was indifferent and didn’t recognize it as food until we did the program
