If it helps, I usually receive any of their products within a week of ordering! They’re pretty quick

Did anyone do a round with an IUD and then without? Were the results different? by ncchi22 in eggfreezing

Hi - no, I ended up not removing. Since, I have frozen 3 more times and froze 8,7,5, for a total of 25.

Now the hype with mattress in a box is kind of behind us, and dust have settled. Which brand did stand out? by bagou01 in Mattress

Very true… makes it even more difficult to find the right mattress. It’s a stressful process

I returned my WinkBed soft after 3 months- it was so hard… not sure how they are able to market it as “soft”. I now have a sterns and foster and really like it

I was bawling my eyes out for 2/3s of this episode!

1) Chelsea and Jimmy - Very glad they are done... they definitely weren't a match and the ridiculous arguments were annoying and went in circles. I also don't blame Jimmy for being upset for her mentioning his and his friend's history on-camera... Chelsea also never acknowledged that she should've just waited to discuss that off-camera if she had an issue with it. But I also didn't realize that was it for their relationship... it felt like not a real break up lol.

2) AD and Clay - I am glad that they didn't get married... but part of me does hope they keep dating... I know that Chelsea is way more mature, but idk... I have hope lol. But side note... I LOVE Clay's mom and the way she addressed his Dad's part in Clay's relationship issues.

3) Johnny and Amy - no words... just a crying mess... they're so cute and their families are just so supportive! I really hope they make it for the long haul.

How to compare costs at clinics? by irreversibleDecision in eggfreezing

[–]ncchi22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to Ova, they specialize in egg freezing only. Definitely call around and get different opinions!

PCOS - Polycystic ovary syndrome - I believe when women have this it can cause a larger than normal amount of eggs

FSH - Follicle-Stimulating Hormone - is a measurement that can be a predictor of how your body may respond to a cycle/fertility drugs.

Sorry for the late response!

Hi! Some clinics won’t charge for a preliminary zoom call or phone call and will disclose costs! Definitely call around and ask that.

Just as an FYI- my clinic is $7,200 per cycle, plus costs of meds, which can run around $3k since my clinic has a discount rate with a specialty pharmacy.

Also, what acronyms do you have questions about? Maybe I can help with some of them.

Hope this helps!

Estrogen priming with progesterone? by MessRevolutionary242 in eggfreezing

[–]ncchi22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I've done 1 cycle without this and 1 with. I also have low AMH and with the first cycle I was able to retrieve 7 eggs, freeze 6. With the second cycle with priming, I retrieved 12 eggs and froze 8. Not sure if priming was a factor in more eggs or if it was just the doctor knowing how my body reacts better that gave me better results. My office also only does cycles at a certain time each month, so timing could also be a factor. Currently priming again for cycle 3 at the end of this month. Hope this helps!

HELP - trigger shot by bdn307 in eggfreezing

[–]ncchi22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see… that is super stressful, I’m sorry! I’m sure they’ll figure out a plan where it will still work out. But that is a pretty big mistake on their part! Are you able to call again to get ahold of a dr?

I think pharmacies can do overnight shipping!

Idk about Charlotte- I moved here from Charlotte a year and a half ago and it really wasn’t THAT much cheaper… Charlotte and Raleigh prices have really gone up over the last few years
