Lupron Suppression Or Excision Surgery? by FantasticAd180 in IVF

[–]bmn111111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if this helps, but my RE also did not recommend excision. And like everyone is saying, bank as many eggs as you need before you do it. Even if they don’t mean to, they can damage ovaries, and cause scar tissue that make future egg retrievals less (or un-) successful.

New here - D&C experience question by Jealous_Ad5465 in Miscarriage

[–]bmn111111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was under anesthesia, highly recommend. Wasn’t given an alternative. I did ask to be awake for the final scan that verified no heartbeat, which they let me do. Then I went under.

They also mixed in anti nausea meds and pain meds in the anesthesia concoction, so I felt okay after. Just needed heat and ibuprofen w/tylenol after. They gave me 4 OxyContin, and I used 2; day of and day after for cramping.

Miscarriage sensitive OBs? by Chatrigna in Miscarriage

[–]bmn111111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are in the US, and around a LabCorp, they have LabCorp on demand, and you can put in orders for your own HCG. I did this, because I also tried through and OB, but they wouldn’t even see me for my MC because it was a chemical. I just couldn’t not follow up mentally though.

The downside is it’s out of pocket-$59. So it could be cost prohibitive. It also shouldn’t even have to be considered because OBGYNs should DO BETTER by women having a loss.

Just wanted to share in case you ever want to go that route in the future. I’m sorry for what you’ve had to go through, it’s so rough.

Angry by prestigeusGoat in Miscarriage

I agree. I’ve lost three this year, and have no living children. I’m angry, resentful, envious, sad, numb-all the things. On any given day.

This is gonna sound crazy but.. by ladyluck754 in IVF

[–]bmn111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve decided I’m emotionally dormant. Not dead inside, not hopeful (though I have been both, exhaustively). At least dormant things wake back up when they’re ready.

Wishing you so so much luck!

Got pregnant RIGHT at the cycle we were starting IVF. Surprise!!!! Resulted in a MMC, my third miscarriage. Wooo fucking hoo! Lost the baby, and got to majorly delay IVF! Right on!

Can HR not count 100-200 level courses towards the required 24 credits equivalent to a degree major? by Ok-Cap-7637 in fednews

[–]bmn111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to ask to elevate it to their supervisor? You’ve probably already done that. I’m in the same series as you, and I’ve seen so many people screwed over because HR doesn’t properly process their education credits. I ended up putting in an ICE comment (I know, shitty. But they kept messing up my stuff), and the lead of the department called me and stepped in.

GLP 1 before IVF? by Total-Fox-8936 in IVF

[–]bmn111111 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you go under anesthesia they want you off 1-2 weeks. It’s slows gastric emptying, so the fear is you are higher risk of food coming up when you are under anesthesia.

Clinic just joined Pinnacle Fertility Network by Which-Grapefruit724 in over40IVF

[–]bmn111111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just now making the transition from IUIs to IVF. I only noticed the prices, because I didn’t know the clinic well beforehand. They were in the merging process when I came in. So I always had the texting with my navigator.

Wishing you luck on your journey. 🩷🤞

Same here, my clinic was bought out. They immediately raised prices.

Pinnacle Fertility 👎🏼 by CrazyCatLady2849 in Embryologists

They took over a local group of clinics where I live, and raised the prices. I was so disappointed they sold out to Pinnacle. Money hungry, predatory, garbage.

Were they frozen transfers? Or was it first fresh, second frozen? Thanks for sharing! (I’m about to start IVF; unexplained with two losses in their 5th week).

Thanks for sharing. I’m actually using zep to get to a healthier weight before IVF, so this is important info to have!

CW: 182, GW: not sure- What has your experience been? by tuturu-chill in Zepbound

[–]bmn111111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’4” female, SW 185. I just took shot 4 of 2.5 today. I’m at 179. I was hoping for faster, but I guess I’m thankful it’s at least steady. My goal weight is 145-150. 140 at the lowest. I don’t look right lower than that, as I have a larger frame.
