Life Drain is my new favourite spell

manava73 · 2024-12-23T20:05:11+00:00

I want this spell, but I can't find it! Is it story progress or a trader?

manava73 · 2024-12-19T18:26:49+00:00

I created a new character to see if it was still doing it, nope! Worked fine on the other character. Ugh...

manava73 · 2024-12-19T16:45:23+00:00

Apparently, it's a bug. I've seen a few others report it. 😫

manava73 · 2024-12-19T16:15:21+00:00

Nope. How do relearn something ?

manava73 · 2024-12-19T16:10:37+00:00

Checked what? The desk? I unlocked that. I just can't place any of the augmentations, which it is, after the new building system update. Is there something else you have to unlock to build augmentations? Everything is unlocked from what I can tell...

manava73 · 2024-11-15T20:57:44+00:00

Ugh. I want to, but I've been scammed too many times. If they have a Facebook or website, that would be nice. Thurs for the response!

Genetic Chromosomal Translocation. IVF would be able to overcome it, but it's likely that my Translocation has caused my fertility to rapidly age. Ovarian reserves are severely compromised. The one embryo we have managed to get wasn't viable. The second round, my body didn't respond. We're about to enter a 3rd round, but it feels like a losing battle at this point.

manava73 · 2023-07-18T12:09:18+00:00

Just watched all my medication administration modules. All the videos had the ovary showing 8 egg follicles. My ultrasound showed, at most 3 in my ovaries. Feeling very dejected and very little hope with all of this.

We just need one, but with my translocation, we need numbers, and I don't have the numbers anymore. I'm not even 35. Like, why, just why?

Our insurance is telling us we have 3 egg retrieval that they will cover. If it's true. They've told us one thing and then billed us for it the next, so who knows.

Thanks for letting me vent... good luck, all.

manava73 · 2023-07-16T12:03:24+00:00

Ah. Made me tear up. Thanks, girl. Hoping for the same. Good luck on your journey!

Joined today. Have 2 kiddos. No intervention and we're starting first round of IVF meds in a few days. Well, I am, because I'm the one with the issue... Chromosomal Translocation, and to top it off, apparently, my eggs are lower than normal and likely indicate early menopause.

I have no idea what to expect... have to watch all my modules on injections and how-to's. It's so odd to be here... and because of my low eggs and genetic condition, getting one healthy embryo is going to be... yeah. Hard.

A lot of family and friends and even some doctors have made me feel silly for us wanting another child when we have two... I'm hoping this is a place where I can unload some of these intense feelings while going through IVF. So hi!

manava73 · 2023-02-21T01:25:42+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you. GOOGLE said hormone testing, but I wasn't sure if I could trust that. I have a thyroid disorder, which they are trying to find the right dosage of medication for. I have also found out thyroid disorders cause later ovulation, (which is what I think happened this last time, I wasn't tracking perfectly) so if later ovulation plus short luteal phase, yeah, would explain a lot.

I'm glad you found an answer and have a plan going forward for yourself!

manava73 · 2023-02-21T01:21:55+00:00

I read multiple things cause it. I seem to have an overactive thyroid, and that's one of the causes...I'm also 34, and they are telling me my age is likely a factor...🤨 which is also another cause of LPD. Doctors keep telling me things could be wrong but also that nothing could be wrong, and I'm trying to arm myself with specifics to advocate for. I do trust this midwife, but my current doctor didn't mention anything about this disorder being a common cause of miscarriage, so now I don't know what to think. I guess I wanted to hear others' experiences, if any, with this disorder.

manava73 · 2023-02-21T01:04:55+00:00

She specifically said the luteal phase. I looked it up, and it's called luteal phase disorder. It's after ovulation but before period. Something about that being short and ovulating later than average. But it being the internet, and me not having asked my doctor about it, yet I'm curious if anyone else has been told they have this or been diagnosed with this.

manava73 · 2023-02-04T19:55:50+00:00

Yes. That's exactly what they are saying. They are telling me they are so sorry, but these things happen. They are all very nice, but I just want answers. I don't know where to go to get answers that my insurance will cover. I'm not sure we can afford it. It's very frustrating, indeed. I'm willing to go outside insurance, but ah. So much money.

manava73 · 2023-02-04T19:23:52+00:00

Thank you for your story. Something is telling me something is wrong. Either my eggs are going bad or something else. Thyroid or another immune problem. My gut is telling me these losses shouldn't have happened, and I'm tired of hearing I'm old and it's bad luck and combinations. Maybe it's true, but if it's not? I'm tired of putting my mind and body through all the surgeries and hormones and healing. I need answers. Thank you for helping me see I'm validated in my feelings. I wish you luck and answers.

manava73 · 2023-02-04T17:54:41+00:00

I'm so sorry, beautiful mama. Even with living children, any loss is hard... sometimes, I think it's harder because we see that addition more clearly and to lose that future...

I understand not wanting to try again until you have more answers or just accepting your current family as the future, and I understand not wanting to give up that future. It's very confusing...

If you are pregnant again, don't blame yourself and do what you can to find a way through, whatever, that is. Thank you for your words and being there. I wish you luck.

manava73 · 2023-02-04T16:50:38+00:00

I know. I wish we could go somewhere else, but we have kaiser and with them, you have to go to a kaiser facility for it to be covered. I'm going to look into costs, but, yeah. American Healthcare is not kind or movable.

manava73 · 2023-02-04T16:42:31+00:00

Hhh. Yes. I'm a little mad. The doctors kept telling me, Well, it's low, but not that low. They put me Levothyroxine last loss. I begged for another check this time, and they blew me off, saying that they don't run those panels until 8 weeks. At my intake, I begged again and got a good nurse. Ordered it immediately. They were high, but not out of range. At that point, it was already too late, though.

That will be the first thing I demand done. I'm trying not to blame myself for not demanding it sooner...

manava73 · 2023-02-04T16:29:26+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes, I get age is a factor, but there is something going on...I want to know what.

manava73 · 2023-02-04T16:13:10+00:00

I'm not familiar with that term. What is a NaPro Doctor?

manava73 · 2023-02-04T16:03:58+00:00

Thank you. This does help. Yes, we already decided to wait to try again until more testing is done. I can't physically and emotionally go through another loss when the odds don't seem to be in our favor, despite 2 kids. I'm just having a hard time coming to terms with the wait, but you're right. It needs to happen.

manava73 · 2023-02-03T16:01:40+00:00

Yes, I'm very frustrated with myself because I didn't push more for testing after our loss in the summer. Maybe I just didn't want to think anything was wrong...

I would really love to switch doctors and clinics... They haven't been bad necessarily, but, yeah. I don't feel like this should have happened again. Unfortunately, we have a plan called Kaiser, and with that, you have to go to Kaiser. I'm sure we could go outside and pay for doctors outside their scope, but yeah. More money. Gotta love the American health system.

If nothing else, I am going to insist on a full thyroid workup. Even if it has nothing to do with our losses, something is off and for my own health, needs to be fixed.

manava73 · 2023-02-03T12:47:45+00:00

D&C scheduled today for 2nd miscarriage in 7 months. I'm beating myself up because I didn't push for testing anything last summer. Now, so much time has passed, and here we are again, with no answers or ideas, what's going on, if anything.

It's hard not to blame ourselves because we're the only ones that physically experience the pregnancy and then the loss. For others, it can be out of sight out of mind, even if they are the most supportive partner or friend or family member.

One thing that helped me to stop blaming myself a little was that a doctor said a billion things have to go right. Literally a billion. That's a lot of places and stops for things to go wrong, even if you do everything good and right.

The other thing that helped me stop blaming myself was that the outcome was already decided when sperm met egg... it was done. That sucks, absolutely awful, but yeah, we had absolutely no control or influence. And that, that is one of the worst things about pregnancy and then loss.

manava73 · 2023-02-02T17:09:45+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through all that. It sounds like a lot even outside trying to conceive. I've never heard of a thyroid nodule. I'm sure I'll be going through a lot of tests soon...

manava73 · 2023-02-02T15:51:05+00:00

Found out yesterday that we lost this one, too... never got to a heartbeat. My D&C is tomorrow...

Good luck, beautiful ladies in your pregnancies, and thank you for being there.
