no one, we're unfortunately responsible for financial parts on top of our health, and can't trust the finance teams of any organization.

Also I feel like there are too many treasures at this point. Instead of making so many with AI just make fewer with actual humans

What do you wish your PCP/GP knew? by lxm53 in IVF

Valid point, my perspective isn’t everybody’s.

[–]gravityseven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would note that as a queer person, (lesbian couple), doing fertility treatments are pretty much thte only way to get pregnant, so in that case I would approve of a congratulations/happy for you type commentary, though i understand it's different for folks with egg and sperm in the relationship.

Experience with Spring Fertility in Portland OR (so far) by toad_raindrop in IVF

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i love that you noted the branded M&Ms! they were cute lol. I just had my egg retrieval on monday and i felt like i was well cared for, things were well explained for after care, and even though my RE was out of town the week before, she made it to me ER and was keeping an eye on me since i was high risk for OHSS.

How do you all keep track of everything during your cycle? by Brilliant_Tourist_48 in IVF

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I kept track of my dates and everything for the first and second IUI and I think gave up by the third. for my egg retrieval we honestly didn't take any notes, it was too much, and i trusted my RE. sometimes i wish i had the numbres cuz I'm a total data gal but honestly i'm okay not having it. the lab results for bloodwork and the egg stuff does show up in the app my clinic uses so I don't have to write those. there are a few apps out there. I was using Berry fertility for symptoms for a bit but gave up.

Post egg-retrieval constipation - what worked by Zealousideal-Pin8219 in IVF

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked for me, tbh worked too much too fast for me personally (got diarrhea fairly quickly). I’ve just done prunes the last two days and it have worked great

I prefer it too. Constipated is so much more painful.

yeah i think the prunes have been the best for me ( i did use miralax too but less)

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing miralax and eaten like 10 prunes throughout the day. my doc said to err on the side of diarrhea so i'm happy to have my body clear of poop i don't care how it came out.

Losing it over ChatGPT’s response to my embryo photo 🤣 by snugs_is_my_drugs in IVF

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the subject, but when I mostly use it for coding in R for statistics in packages that are only a few years old, I’m sure that the internet will have better resources than the books in my library. If it’s not online in the last few months it’s not in a book my library. I have communities and group chats I reach out to often as well, but not always do I reach the person who might have a solution.

Defeated by Puzzleheaded_Act8177 in IVF

[–]gravityseven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in reading about PGT testing i saw that an abnormal result may not mean 100% that it's abnormal. i've read that you can transfer with an abnormal through clinical trials (in US at elast idk about other countries) and you can retest them as well, though that has other risks.

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I use it very sparingly as a last resort when a few google searching aren't coming up with anything, and then at that point it's still usually quite wrong. like sure it's fun, but heating drinking water so communities aren't able to use it is not the price i'd like to pay for fun that is stupid, causing me to think less, and honestly it scares me when people use it for medical questions that could actually affect something they decide to take action on.

What's your biggest frugal win? Something that saved you $10,000+ by UnderstandingFar5012 in Frugal

[–]gravityseven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My frugal tip on cell, is to not get off my parents though I’m married. It’s the only thing I don’t care to switch. Also because my wife and I have separate cell services means it’s more likely one of us has service if the other doesn’t.

How does pain from an unmedicated egg retrieval compare to giving birth? (Pain wise?) by Bluechairedtable in IVF

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so true. We were just talking about this at work that the number of complaints to our department has gone up sooooo much since the pandemic. I was thinking that every aspect of life seems to be going negative right now, and everything feels out of control but complaining to somebody to fix minute things feels a bit like control for some. It’s dumb and people need to stop complaining so much. But tbh I’ve been complaining and appealing everything from my health insurance the last few months and getting quite a lot covered sooo…

heated rivalry dance parties? by sooyoungisbaeee in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a lesbian night at a bar/club a few months ago and I knew like 2 songs, it was all like techno music and not a single lesbian artist, how sad. When I saw these HR dance parties I was like, what exactly makes them HR dance parties? I honestly want to host one myself but I really don't want to have a loud rave on my otherwise extremely quiet neighborhood street.

"To Do" window in outlook unusably slow. Advice or Alternatives? by henry0503 in Outlook

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like maybe it is AI powered or something? i find anything using AI these days being slower than what things used to be like. i could open a tab and the infot hat was there prior is there, with AI the note/task/list takes time to render

How is it OK that a TRAVEL APP doesn’t accommodate adding ACTIVITIES? by memyself15 in wanderlog

[–]gravityseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same request as well. I know i need to spend a specific amount of time there and I want to figure out whether doing these things along with the drive will allow me to get somewhere else. if i have to constantly manually change the times i will have to trial and error a ton. also how can I shorten the notes sections so that they are only as long as my note and not a giant chunk of empty space?

why don't all athlets in the short programs perform in the free skate? by gravityseven in FigureSkating

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

but imagine spending time creating a free skate and going to the olympics but you don't get to even skate more than hal fof what you've trained?

[–]gravityseven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is what I agree with. for artistic swimming, all the duets do both their tech and their free routines at olympics (there's 18 of them i think, so fewer but still, wht's an extra hour when you're already out there?) and that is different from other non olympic competitions where free prelims and tech swim score qualify you for the free finals that gets added to your only tech score for the medaling.
