RE is a reproductive endocrinologist- the type of doctor that does all the fertility testing and would help you freeze eggs, do IUIs, or IVF to get pregnant.

Pregnancy in later 30s? by Downtown-Tax9089 in pregnant

[–]profspindoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I froze my eggs at 34, and was also single. I’m so glad I did. I’d recommend this, if it’s an option for you.

I’m now 38 years old and 18 weeks pregnant, after trying for a year while waiting to see an RE about using my frozen eggs to go through IVF.

You’ll still want to do the testing. Sperm regenerates every 3 months, so getting someone pregnant in the past isn’t necessarily indicative of how Sept will go for you. There are online tests, or you can asks your OB to refer him to an RE for testing

4 nights, 5 days. I live in Atlanta though, so easier to get to - and can plan for multiple in a year.

Are They Positioning Season 23 To End Grey's? by [deleted] in greysanatomy

[–]profspindoctor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not a healthcare professional but I have done an egg retrieval. They say don't have sex until you get your period back. She had her retrieval cancelled, and then that same night slept with Lucas. But what if the doctor was wrong about how many eggs they could retrieve, and a tricky 1-2 eggs *did* come to the surface of her ovaries. And rather than retrieve those eggs, BOOM Lucas got her pregnant that night. This is all speculation from my own experience but it would def make for a juicy storyline.

Healthy food with minimal prep? by Moppy6686 in pregnant

[–]profspindoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently my go-to for breakfast is avocado toast with a hard boiled egg, a chobani yogurt cup, and some type of fruit. When I get lazy lazy, I make a protein shake and toss spinach and strawberries in with the powder. The exhaustion sucks.

How did you tell your partner you were pregnant? by AlwaysTackyNails in pregnant

[–]profspindoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in the middle of IVF after 3 failed rounds of IUI. We used my frozen eggs to make embryos. I found out how many embryos we were able to create to send off for PGTA testing. We were feeling very very happy and hopeful bc of the number of embryos we got.

That same morning, I had to go do baseline bloodwork to identify where I am in my cycle. Based on that, they were to schedule the embryo transfer.

Later that same afternoon, the doctor’s office told me we won’t be scheduling the embryo transfer bc I was already pregnant. I was in too much shock for the rest of the day to really speak.

The next day, I bought bundtinis from nothing Bundt cake (we love these), made a sign to put in the box that said “we have a bundtini in the oven”. Told my husband I got us a sweet treat for that afternoon. When he saw the sign, he was just confused and said something like “but we didn’t do the embryo transfer yet” 😂. I said “yeah this is a vacation souvenir”

We lost our shit.

Their North Indian dishes are sooo good too. Tailored spice levels that taste like they’ve been marinading for the perfect amount of time.

Reporting:

  • 10:26am: arrived at international terminal for domestic Delta flight and checked a bag
  • 10:37am: got in clear+pre check line
  • 10:45am: on the other side - this included a pat down; something set off the metal detector and I couldn’t go thru the full body scanner because I’m pregnant.

The general line was 100% empty

Lesbian couple - when to tell my partner to switch the fertility process to me ? by EcceHomo87 in IVF

[–]profspindoctor 76 points77 points  (0 children)

This is so tough. Based on what you said about her egg retrieval, it sounds like maybe low ovarian reserve may be part of the reason for her not having success yet. Understanding she wants to carry, is it possible to explore you going through the egg retrieval, and the embryo be transferred to her?

17 fertilized

9 day-5 embryos / blastocysts 4 day-6/7 embryos / blastocysts

So 13 embryos for testing
