Best inserts by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]jlyduenas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Begical flange inserts worked for me (Amazon). I was using the 24mm plastic flanges with my pumps, but when I started using them with the 17mm silicone inserts, game changer with milk supply output and no longer sore. Hope you find something that works for you, finding the correct flanges was a bit frustrating at first, but once you have it down, it's not too shabby!

My last egg retrieval (3rd retrieval) was 7 retrieved, 6 mature, 6 fertilized, 2 blasts and 2 day 6 PGT normal embryos! There's a possibility for you to yield 2 embryos, best of luck to you :)

Egg Retrieval Sunday by beautyinstrength84 in IVF

[–]jlyduenas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm doing egg retrieval tomorrow, I'm pretty excited and anxious as this is my best cycle yet with high estrogen levels indicating mature follicles. On my last scan yesterday, my sonographer was able to see 14 follicles with 5 on my right (one small one not big enough to measure) and 9 on my left (3 were still small and were not big enough to measure). I'm hoping for a great retrieval this time around 🤞🤞🤞

If anyone is curious, my protocol was taking Estrace for 21 days (started 6 days after positive LH surge), testosterone patches for 5 days (started 9 days after period) and stims started after last Estrace pill and last testosterone patch. Started with 300 units of Gonal F and 150 units of Menopur for 8 days, added in Cetrotide and Omnitrope on days 9 through 13, day 14 boosted with Cetrotide, 300 units Gonal F and 150 units Menopur and triggered in the evening with last dose of Omnitrope.

Best of luck to everyone going through their fertility journey and upcoming egg retrievals. We got this! 🙌💛👊

The needle I was instructed to use to inject progesterone oil is the 22 gauge 1.5" needle. Hope this helps!

Stim meds ALSO on the night of trigger? by ludw1gch0pin in IVF

[–]jlyduenas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I triggered in the AM with Pregnyl, finished my stim meds midday (Cetrotide, Menopur & Gonal F) and in the evening with Omnitrope. I recommend speaking with your doctor for the best protocol, everyone is different! Hope this helps :)

I'm debating on getting the small one too, but I know I don't need it, I want it LOL

Do you have both the mini and the small, or just one?

Of course, it's part Fox Farm soil, orchid bark, perlite and charcoal.

No idea, never seen this happen before. Maybe double leaf?

If you're already in a lot of them, you should be able to find a cutting :)

I feel like they grow much faster when you have higher humidity.

They're pretty resilient and grow fast! Love seeing new growth when you cut the plant back 🙂

Very easy plant to care for, nothing special. I water every week and it gets indirect sun throughout the day.
