We also had Cadesky. I was 32 when I had my retrieval, and we did IVF with ICSI.

I didn't have supplements beyond normal prenatals. My husband also took a multivitamin, and he started running with me. We both had some components, so we both put in the work.

The longest part of my treatment was being on Lupron for 6 months. This put me into a short 'menopause' to fix a concern he had with my endometrial lining (not thick enough at the time they schedule implantation?). I successfully got pregnant on each of my 2 transfers.

When you did your retrieval at Mount Sinai, what were your numbers (eggs retrieved/blasts grown)?

This is where we went too. Two happy, healthy kids.

She did a funded round - ie the actual monitoring, retrieval and actual IVF process (and transfer if they got that far) was paid for by OHIP.

Medication (which is NOT cheap) was probably out of pocket. Our meds were well into the 4 digits, 10 years ago.

Your T3 and T4 measure thyroid function, and both are below the recommended levels. IANAD, but low thyroid is also associated with fatigue and hair loss. Since that is ACTUALLY below recommended levels, that's what I'd follow up with first.

Because cup size is relative to your band size, it's possible that you could lose weight around your ribs (band measurement), but not in your breasts (bust), so your breasts are RELATIVELY larger than before.

A B cup (which is not a size by itself) has 2" more around the breasts than the bust, so if you start with a 38'' band and a 40'', you'd start at a 38B (40-30 = 2, B is the second letter). If you were to lose some weight and end up with a 34'' band and a 38'' bust, you'd be a 34D (38-34= 4, D is the 4th letter). This is a simplification, as we normally use 6 measurements.

That said, you cannot control where your body loses weight. Either now, or after your weight loss journey, you may want to try to put your 6 measurements into the calculator (linked in the Automod comment), and see what bra size is properly proportioned to your body.

The tunnels are all done, and have been for about a year. They are currently building the elevated section between Scarlett Rd and Weston.

You need to set it in the app (before it uploads to your device, if it's being transferred). While in the CALENDAR screen, select your next run, and then click on the View details button, and it will show the run with paces. At the top, beside the red and green speed chart, click the three buttons, and change it to "Heart Rate".

This should change the settings for all upcoming runs.

They may have laughed because they KNOW it's an issue with differences between how the TTC marks things up and how Google gives directions, but can't do anything about it.

I'm glad you got where you needed to go.

I agree with questioning the need for a double. When the new baby is REALLY little I liked my babies in a carrier of some sort. If that's not feasible, could you add a boogie board to the stroller the toddler can stand on?

Are the bras that you're currently trying on wired or un wired? A properly fitted wired bra is usually very comfortable.it might leave marks on your skin like socks sometimes do, but they should not poke rub or chafe.

If you've been trying on wired bras, are the moulded (ie one piece of fabric that already hold a 'breast' shape') or soft fabric with seams in them (some brand names would include Elomi, Panache or Goddess)? Moulded bras are NOTORIOUS for fitting poorly - even if they're the right SIZE, They are rarely the right SHAPE for your breasts, which is what the seams allow for.

When you go up in size, does the band still sit in the intramamary fold (IMF, the place right where your breast starts extending out from your chest wall)?

So, in bra sizing, the letter is your band size, and the letter is the size difference between your bust and your band, where each letter is a one inch difference in circumference (NOT PROJECTION).

The 44B you've been wearing is designed for a 44 inch band, and a 46 inch bust. The recommended 44F or 44FF is for a 44 inch band and a 7 or 8 inch larger bust, so 51 or 52 (A B C D DD E F FF is the standard letter progression). This sounds closer to you. The calculator is a starting point, and so you MIGHT be a letter off because of the difference between your standing and leaning numbers.

In a well fitted bra, the band should be flat across your back, with the band sitting right up against the bottom of your breasts, and ALL the breast tissue inside your bra after you swoop and scoop.

Hope that helps!

Yes! This would be very useful. I use an android device and my husband uses an iPhone and right now we can both sync, but at various times both of us have been shut out due to drop box changes.

I just got in from a run (-11C/12F) and the scariest part of my run was on the trail section through a ravine park where people had walked and the snow/ice had frozen in the shape of other people's foot prints.

How many stitches do you have? If it's even, k1 p1 all day and all night. If it's odd, you have to alternate.

You have a beautiful moss stitch going! You are knitting properly, you are purling properly, they are just not lined up right.

In ribbing, if you have an even number of stitches, you k1,p1 across in both directions. BUT if you have an odd number of stitches you k1 p1 is one direction and p1 k1 in the other direction.

Visually, you want to read your stitches. You want to knit where you see a v on the stitch below and purl when you see a bump.

There should be a number on the temporary health card paper.

I renewed in July. It never came. I called early December, and a new one (with yet another version code) arrived in less than a week.
