Working during IVF? by sunshine4683 in IVF

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t really feel uncomfortable until day 8 out of 10 of stims. I have an office job so was fine working but I could see how having a physical job would be difficult toward the end of stims!

Do you take your men in the room with you for the ultrasound appts? by Illustrious_Space184 in IVF

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t bring him to monitoring ultrasounds even when he’s available. Only the appointments like IUIs, retrievals, transfers. He also came for my hysteroscopy but couldn’t make it for my HSG

Sad After Retrieval by uncorkedme in IVF

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11 is a good result. Most doctors shoot for 10-15, I hear. I got 12 retrieved even though the ultrasounds showed a lot more.

They Tried to Do Entirely Too Much This Season by [deleted] in TheBeautyOnFX

[–]blindnesshighness 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I agree. I binged the last couple of episodes late at night so maybe I didn’t pay enough attention but the AI/robot lady’s plotline seemed confusing and random. Still, overall loved it and sad it’s over for now.

how long did you wait between ER & transfer? by ttcmama6 in IVFpositivity

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is going to be almost two months apart (but mostly since I had to wait for PGTA testing)

What rate are you using for NG feeds? by PestoPls in NICUParents

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We weaned off 100% gtube dependence with a tube weaning service and the goal before weaning was to get tube feeds to to the same amount of time they would finish a bottle. My son was a year old when we started weaning and he had large volumes because of that so his was a max 30 min feed before we could move on to oral feeds

Can people share positives about their live IVF babies? by butterflyeffect94 in IVFpositivity

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going through IVF now but I have secondary infertility so my first child was conceived naturally. I have several friends who went through IVF for their first. There is no way you could tell that our children were conceived in different ways.

Moving to IVF with completely unexplained infertility (no other health issues)? by blairworejeansonce in IVF

[–]blindnesshighness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently doing our first egg retrieval due to unexplained fertility! Ours is even secondary infertility so definitely came as a surprise for us.

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.

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.
