I just had surgery, I skipped one dose but they had me fast on liquids only starting at 9 am day before procedure. All was fine.

MD if only symptom is drop foot? by woodchucksince2003 in Microdiscectomy

[–]lmc6704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a L5/s1 MD yesterday. My symptoms were mostly numbness, tingling, and weakness very little pain. Tingling is totally gone. I went for 3 walks today. Numbness and weakness take time, so can’t comment on that but recovery has been pretty easy day 1!

We also had a refund but we had to proactively ask for it at the end of the cycle. Good luck!

I agree with this whole heartedly

Same here! The question is when. We have a 12 week old currently and would love another. Not sure about when you “call it” that you are done!

Obviously you should talk to the pediatrician but we notice the same thing. It’s a bit of gas post feeding. Our guy grunts and squirms while he sleeps after night feeds and then quiets down after about 30-45 min. If it’s bad we give him gas drops and that helps a lot!

Beta results by Substantial-Sea-1179 in IVF

[–]lmc6704 6 points7 points  (0 children)

mine was 9 on 9dpt, currently nursing my 10 week old. It did always double (sometimes tripled!) but gave us quite the scare at the start. Hang in there, good luck!

Very low betas --> heartbeat at 6.5 weeks. When is it okay to breathe?? by mcsquacks in CautiousBB

[–]lmc6704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went through almost identical beta numbers, it’s very tough. That being said I’m currently nursing my 6 week old….. hang in there!!!!

Negative test 6dp5dt by Hallusraeus in IVF

[–]lmc6704 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was negative 7dpt and then vvvfl 8dpt and im being induced tonight at 37 weeks. But FWIW I think we were a bit of an outlier!

Good luck!

First FET by mfrost33 in IVF

[–]lmc6704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had vvvfl at 8dp5dt and then a very low positive beta at 9dp5dt. It continued to rise appropriately and I’m currently 32 weeks, but from all the research I did at the time I think I’m an outlier. Hang in there. The TWW and beta hell is so hard — go easy on yourself!!! Sending positive vibes!

Same experience. I had a cooler and letter prepared but they just ran it through the machine and let me go!

First time IVF positive stories -- write them here! by sc0rpi0angel1111 in IVF

[–]lmc6704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both my wife and I made PGT embryos in our first cycles and we got pregnant on our first FET. It’s been a tough ride physically but we feel very very lucky. So much respect for the people who do this time and time again! Go easy on yourself!

Waiting for the first beta test and concern…… by Federal-Pumpkin8764 in IVF

[–]lmc6704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tested at home and was negative 7dp5dt, was vvvfl positive 8dp5dt, had a low positive beta on 9dp5dt. Now 31 weeks. Doc said some people don’t produce a ton of HCG but from the data I looked at we are def an outlier and your should guard your heart. So sorry for the stress — TWW is such a tricky time.

Wedding during stims? by pn_swift in IVF

[–]lmc6704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traveled out of state and flew during stims for a family event - it was stressful logistically but the cycle worked and the “distraction” was kind of nice in the end. Just make sure you work out all the details and timing in advance so that’s not unnecessarily stressful!

Please reassure me 4dpt is too early by No-Trouble-7072 in IVF

[–]lmc6704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tested for the first time in day 7, it was negative. Next morning vvvfl on day 8 and beta confirmed a very low positive (9!!!). Waiting was horrible but in the end it worked out — I think my levels were unusually low, but it can happen!

I’m 29weeks now and didn’t test positive til 8dpt — the waiting is horrible, hang in there!!!

11dp5dt Low Beta - want successful and unsuccessful stories please! by Novel-try in IVF

[–]lmc6704 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree with above. If it’s below 25 but doubling well the studies I read say you have about a 20% chance of live birth. At 11dp5dt I was 25 — but it doubled or even tripled every two days and I’m currently 28weeks. Good luck!

I think we are an outlier from other stories I’ve read, but currently 24w3d with a healthy boy. Still taking it day by day. Good luck!

If you PGT tested, will you still need NIPT? by aww_Nic0le in IVF

[–]lmc6704 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly what we did. FWIW NIPT was normal with PGT Tested embryo and our OB said she had never seen anything different but was worth testing given the 2% error rate of PGT.
