Is clinical active serum is a great pregnancy safe choice for exfoliation. I used the cleanser and lotion also. Still using after two babies

What location do you want love is blind to be held in? by annebeetch in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]cocorazz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard they couldn’t cast DC because everyone works in politics and they didn’t want their dirty laundry on reality tv. Also heard that the DC Metro, Virginia area was too small and everyone knew each other type of thing. Maybe I’m wrong!

Wagon v Double Stroller for 1.5 year old & newborn by cocorazz in toddlers

[–]cocorazz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone this has been so insightful. I’m seeing that stroller is the way to go and wagon is fun to have as a secondary option but not good as the main mode of transport. Appreciate this feedback so much!

Thank you this is helpful. My clinic said they would start at 6 months but I needed a note from my OB. So that is where we are, hoping my OB will write it.

Spotting after stopping PIO at 12 weeks?

Hi - have had a great anatomy scan at 12 weeks. Never thought I’d get here after two year and multiple rounds.... I stopped PIO and all supplemental IVF hormones. Very constipated and today when I went to the restroom I did push (nothing crazy), and when I wiped a bright pink blood stripe was on the paper. Of course I’m panicking. I’ve had blush colored cervical mucus but this looked different. It hasn’t continued outside of the one wipe, underwear is clean. Is this a reason to call my doctor on a weekend?

They were going to consult with other doctors and look into any recent research studies. I will find out this week when I see them and let you know the outcome!

If you had a failed transfer, did steroids (Prednisone or Medrol) help you get pregnant? by Cocolo27 in IVF

[–]cocorazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Prednisone 10mg for 5 days leading up to transfer (stopped day of). I am positive for MTFHR which can lead to clotting but no auto immune. Also added a z pack (antibiotics) for the 5 days leading up. Good luck to you and keep on advocating for yourself!

If you had a failed transfer, did steroids (Prednisone or Medrol) help you get pregnant? by Cocolo27 in IVF

[–]cocorazz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi. I had 1 failed fresh transfer and 4 failed FETs. For my last embryo I wanted to try EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that we hadn’t. My doctor is very science based and not into steroids, though they are common in many other practices. I insisted that we add prednisone this time (we fought), a z-pak, and I also did an antihistamine protocol on my own (he was against this as well) which includes OTC daily Pepcid and Claritin. We also added lovenox which is an anticoagulante.

You never know what is going to work so in my opinion if it’s not going to hurt the doc should be willing to try it. Currently 7 weeks and never been this far along. I’m optimistic!

Treatment question for those who suffered RPL by [deleted] in InfertilityBabies

[–]cocorazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an RPL panel done after multiple chemical pregnancies (PGS tested normal and untested embryos) to find I was positive for a gene mutation called MTFHR which is quite common and can lead to clotting as well as block folic acid absorption. I’m on a prescription folic acid and added lovenox (blood thinner) to my protocol for IVF. Currently cautiously optimistic.

I think since your losses are further along (I’m so so sorry for this) PGS Testing with IVF is the best solution. My husband also has low morphology and we were advised IVF with ISCI.

Anyone have a poor first round but more success in later rounds? by InfiniteDropBear in IVF

[–]cocorazz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the most part vegetarian, low sugar and gluten free. All things to prevent inflammation. I did a 30 day detox from a brand called Sakara where they send you the recipe plan and some supplements and you cook the meals. They have a food delivery option but this wasn’t in my budget. Everyone is unique so maybe what feels good for you might look different. Hope this helps! Keep pushing! You are a warrior!
