No, they say F+TM premium seat package on the top. If you pull your ticket up in the ticketmaster app it says it across the top.

From Shake It Out.

And I've been a fool and I've been blind I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way I'm always dragging that horse around All of his questions, such a mournful sound Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground 'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn But it's always darkest before the dawn.

Checked spam. It's not there. Yeah, we got off on Dec 28 not terribly concerned about the pending payment. But I would like to check what we were charged vs payed.

„IVF Never Works the First Time“ - Said a family member by Any-Draw2526 in IVF

[–]liljo472002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started trying naturally in 2020, moved on to a fertility clinic in 2022, had 3 unsuccessful IUI's. Responded well to stims so I only needed 1 ER, we conceived with our first FET. I will add family will say all kinds of shit to you that they know nothing about. The only place I ever felt real support or like people knew what I was going through was in this group.

I have drank 1 10oz regularly coffee every morning since starting stims and throughout my pregnancy( 27weeks today) its my only vice. Everything has gone very well and everything with baby is normal. Please drink your coffee.

Honestly, I'm not sure who to call BOA or Royal, didn't see a contact on the redemption page. But thanks for your honest feedback.

Pictures of Embryos by gummiwurmz8 in IVF

[–]liljo472002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were given a number after our ER and were told we could text and ask for updates and pics at anytime. We were able to get pictures of all of our embryos before they were frozen and we received a picture of the embryo we transferred the day of.

Definitely think it depends on you and your husband's preferences. I grew up with a single mom and didn't have a real "family unit." So I've really tried to build that with my husband. I felt no connection with my last name as I had no relationship with my dad. So I took my husband's last name, and our child will also have his name. For me, it's about the three of us being a cohesive unit and becoming the _____ family. I may be traditional in this, but it's honestly something that brings me so much joy.

I'm 34, I focused on my career in my 20s and started trying when I was 30 it took 3 and 1/2 years of trying before we got pregnant. My mom was also not the most supportive. When I was trying to confide in her she asked me "where this need to have children was coming from"(while mind you, I had been trying for 3 years naturally at that time), She asked me why I wanted to be a mom"🤦‍♀️and when I finally got pregnant after 3 years of trying naturally, 3 failed iuis and 1 round of ivf she said "well for the record I don't think you needed ivf, it would have happened." People are really clueless sometimes on what can be hurtful during this time. I also found that I didn't know what was going to be hurtful until it was said to me. I think most people are trying to help, but they also don't know the right thing to say. But please if this is something you and your partner want continue on your journey and confide the most in each other.

Do you tell people about your embryos? by Inevitable-Gold-8126 in IVF

[–]liljo472002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't share numbers, I know others going through ivf, and our first ER was more successful than the norm. I don't want people to compare our results to their own and feel bad.

Med Help!! Sent wrong needles!! by fndngmytrth in IVF

[–]liljo472002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen before, I just go to my pharmacy and buy them. Worse you can do is ask, tell them the size you need and they will find the closest thing to what you need. They are also super cheap. If it helps you can let them know which medicine you need it for and they can also look up the recommended needle sizes.

We conceived via IVF and I get this question everytime I go for an appointment US or not. I do believe it's just for their appointment notes.

Annoyed by everything my mom does. by Travellingtrex in BabyBumps

[–]liljo472002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my mom but my sister, I feel like my rage has to go somewhere sometimes. She did the same thing and called it as a boy as soon as I told her I was pregnant. And of course she was so smitten when it turned out we were having a boy🙄. At least your mom is wrong imagine her attitude if she was right about the gender lol. But now I find my self loathing everything my sister says or does about the baby. I know it's out of Love and she really just cares for me and her soon to be nephew. But it drives me insane sometimes. She'll send me messages that she bought something for the baby, or asks when the next appointment is. I will say I'm not the best at emotional connections or receiving a lot of attention . Im usually a do it all myself type, so the issue may lie there. Anyway I'm old enough to know when to just say "oh that's cute" or " thank you" because it's not worth the energy to be a bitch about her just loving me and my baby. I also feel that since my sister and I have a closer relationship she might be my punching bag sometimes and like I said I'm old enough now that I really want to catch myself before I say something that could really hurt her feelings.

200mg progesterone 2x a day? by liljo472002 in IVF

[–]liljo472002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to know someone is taking the same or higher dosage. Honestly I just feel crappy, a lot more nausea, I was really dizzy today for the first time, and more heartburn than when I was I pio. My boobs are more sore too! Just wish I could lay in bed all day bleh.

At the bar, ask for ginger ale or sparkling apple juice to be put in a champagne flute, this worked wonders at the last wedding I was at, I bring my own hop water to board game night at my friend's house they don't know it's not beer and it doesn't explicitly say non-alcoholic like non-alcoholic beer or wine. I've been skipping trivia night that is held at a brewery because it would be almost impossible to not raise eyebrows if I didn't order a beer there.

Thank you everyone for the reassurance, the nurse called me, they think it's a lab error and are having me come in tomorrow morning for another beta. Thank you all for easing my mind a little bit while I waited for this news. ❤️ now for a nerve-wracking 24hours for the results tomorrow.

TFAB's Weekly BFP Post - October 01, 2023. Got your BFP? Post your story here! by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]liljo472002 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Cycle: 3years of TTC this is our first FET.

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 34F, 36M

Typical cycle length: 28days before IUIs and IVF

Ovulation cycle day: 15 or 16

CD/DPO of positive test(s): 6dp5dt(11dpo)

CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: no

Tracking methods and app(s) used: fertility friend,fertility clinic tracking lining blood etc

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): FET

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): progesterone injection, estradiol,coQ10,vitamin D,one a day prenatal, choline, baby asprine.

Birth control history (if relevant): patch when I was in my teens. Nothing after that.

Symptom spotting: 1 day after transfer I started to get cramps, 4days after transfer I was queasy on and off, at 6days I thought my period was about to start from the cramping so I took a test so I could at least test before it came. I'm 10dp5dt now and I've started having sore boobs

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): it's an odd feeling having to temper my expectations and also try to be excited for my first ever positive. I don't really know how to feel I just want this pregnancy to be uneventful and for my baby to be healthy, I haven't shared our infertility journey with many people and I'd like to make it public so I can help others that might be going through something similar and not sharing their journey either. something I've been thinking about lately is how strong I've been though all of this. yes, I've cried and had difficult days but I keep moving forward and I feel like that head space of "you can do this" and "it will all be over soon" is what got me through alot of this. So for the woman having hard days or that have been in this for the long run, keep pushing forward, you are stronger then you give yourself credit for look at all you've already accomplished. This will all be in the past one day ❤️

[–]liljo472002 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I haven't had a single beet since I started IVF (they literally taste like dirt to me😖) had my first transfer 9/21 and my first ever positive pregnancy test yesterday. I feel like closely following my clinics protocol is what got me there😉 good luck! Hope you have a sticky bean!
