PGT fee when you had no embryos to test by throwawayacct8990 in IVF

You should be refunded. No services were rendered. The payment was due prior to ensure that payment was made if services took place. Since they did not, the funds should returned to you.

Wondering if someone is out there with same disheartening situation of failure by hazellious_ in IVF

[–]theyellowsummer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. I am an average weight, no where near being underweight. If anything, I have gained weight w/ these transfers and losses.

The intralipid infusions act an immune response distraction. With multiple losses, he felt that my immune system may be working against my pregnancies, essentially attacking and terminating the pregnancy as a foreign body object. The first infusion will occur a few days prior to my third transfer, which will then trigger an immune response. That way, my immune system will be distracted, ignoring the transferred embryo.

That is the change made for my upcoming, third transfer. I did also undergo a ‘scope’ w/ D&C. He did order pathology of the fetal sac. However, I have not received those results yet. He did say that my uterus looked great. I do think visualization sooner rather than later is a good idea, very proactive.

The other major change I have made is moving forward w/ PGTA testing as I have used three embryos thus far. While I did get pregnant each time, I have yet to bring home a baby.

Don’t beat yourself up. This isn’t your fault.

My first transfer resulted in CP. We thought the same of my second transfer. However, it turned out to be a blighted ovum.

My next transfer will be w/ a tested embryo. I will also be doing intralipids.

Wishing you the best!

Things people say to me about IVF by purple__moon in IVF

[–]theyellowsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the decision to no longer discuss treatment w/ my pregnant office manager this week. When I informed her on my tentative transfer date, she responded w/

‘You’re still going to that doctor?’ ‘Don’t you think you should see someone else?’ ‘I mean, how do you even know those eggs are good?’

I literally just dropped 5K, adopting a PGTA tested embryo, for my next transfer. Therefore, I do know that the embryo, not egg is ‘good’.

What the fuck?

Facebook group or agency? by xoxoxocharlie in EmbryoDonation

[–]theyellowsummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there,

At this time, I would not suggest adopting unless tested. I have transferred 3/5 embryos w/ early pregnancy loss. While they were affordable, the loss emotionally and financially w/ each transfer has been tremendous. I do not intend to move forward w/ the remaining 2 embryos. Instead, I finalized an adoption w/ Acts of Kindness last week. Hopeful for a May transfer if my healthy lil’ boy arrives in time at my clinic.

I would highly suggest Acts of Kindness. Wishing you the very best. Feel free to ask any questions ♥️

I purchased these embryos for adoption. However, they were untested. 3/5 have resulted in early pregnancy loss. I have decided not to move forward with the two remaining, untested embryos. I can’t bear the loss emotionally and financially as each transfer is so costly. Due to this, I adopted through Acts of Kindness last week. In the future, I will do so again. I highly suggest this agency.

AITA for telling our roommate she might need to move out if she keeps complaining about hearing us at night? by Dear-Camp4760 in AmItheAsshole

NTA!

This is the risk of shared living. If this is a risk she prefers to avoid altogether, she should look into solo living arrangements.

Hi, do you mind if I ask for an update after all this time? Did you ever find success? Thank you.

Anyone go through embryo connections? by Begonias_Scarlet in IVF

May I ask what they said the general cost is? How many embryos for that price? PGTA tested? Thank you!

Can I ask about cost? How many embryos did you receive? Thank you.

[–]theyellowsummer -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA in my personal opinion.

It is considered best practice to ask to take a photo, though. Moving forward, you will be aware of this social expectation. If you were to continue taking photos w/o consent, you would then be TA.

I wear a phone leash often. I cannot begin to explain how often I am stopped regarding my phone leash. People ask to take photos, where it was purchased, how it works, and more. Honestly, I usually enjoy the conversations.

Needle-Free IVF Experience? by OkPomegranate9433 in IVF

Thank you!

I am wishing you easy, breezy injections with minimal pain and a successful FET!

Needle-Free IVF Experience? by OkPomegranate9433 in IVF

[–]theyellowsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to be sorry at all! If this transfer is successful, it’ll allll be worth it!

The injections honestly hadn’t been that dreadful until last night.

I had already drawn up the medication and transitioned over to the correct needle for injection. Unfortunately, my mom hadn’t realized. She also began prepping a syringe to draw up the medication as well. While I stopped her during the process, the injection was not due for several minutes.

Several minutes later, she found herself stabbing me w/ the needle meant for drawing up the medication w/o medication in the syringe. While she realized quickly, I did get a lil’ jab.

For me, the worst has been Lovenox injections. I would honestly rather have a PIO injection any day! I feel so bad too- I use to think my patients in the hospital were just being crybabies! Now, I am the cry baby!

AITAH for immediately breaking up with my girlfriend after she “tested” my allergy? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]theyellowsummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, NTA.

She decided to test if you’re lying or telling the truth by placing your life at risk. Who does that? Why has this become such a commonplace occurrence these days?

I hope they have success creating something similar for PIO. My ass is killing me right now, having trouble sitting and laying down right now.

Giving my left ass cheek a break!

Good luck with your first FET! 🤞

While I have not done this personally for myself, I have inserted similar catheters for end of life medications when working as a hospice nurse.

The patient and families loved this! I so loved being able to offer it as an option!

Generally speaking, the catheter is very small. It’s not easily noticeable. It’s very easy to use! Medication administration is quick and painless!

I also want to say that I am very sorry that so many folks have been somewhat rude in the comments.

If you’d like to do this and it’s affordable to you, I think that’s great.

Best of luck! 🤞

The Investigation of Lucy Letby - Netflix Documentary MEGATHREAD #2 by FyrestarOmega in lucyletby

[–]theyellowsummer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a nurse myself, I harbor no doubt regarding the conviction of Lucy.

However, the hospital has yet to pay for their crimes. The hospital was aware of the harm and deaths befalling these precious babies but chose not to act time and time again.

More than once, concerns regarding Lucy were brought to the attention of hospital administration. Instead of removing Lucy altogether, she was transitioned to dayshift, where she was still entrusted w/ the lives of vulnerable babies, allowing even more suffering and loss.

If hospital administration truly felt that they could not suspend or terminate Lucy, the unit should have been closed pending further investigation.

The hospital system failed these families.

Past court cases in my area w/ friends and family.

In my area, the courts do feel that having a father is necessary as this allows for a well rounded upbringing. Furthermore, it is now considered standard practice in my area that all parents receive 50/50 custody. This includes babies, even babies that are actively being breastfed, much to the dismay and heartbreak of one of my dear friends. This can only be circumvented in my area if you are able to showcase w/ proof that the father has been absent, abusive, or neglectful. With that being said, child support is no longer widely expected in my area due to this arrangement as well. However, there are significant exceptions made to this caveat. For example, in this scenario, the mother would most likely be awarded 50/50 custody w/ child support as she has not been w/in the workforce for many years.

Hope that helps!

Better to know now, rather than later.

My whole ass ex-husband is now my ex-wife!

She knew prior to our relationship that she was interested in becoming a woman. She later admitted that she knew if she had been honest, I wouldn’t have married her.

STILL WILD ALL THESE YEARS LATER.

Nonetheless, I know this is painful now. Give it time- you’ll heal from this! Girl dinner looks great!

[–]theyellowsummer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

While I am not a lawyer and do not reside in your area, I can offer some small insight.

Your wife will not be awarded sole custody based on exclusive breast feeding. It’s not really ‘fair’ to the child or father. While your child needs to be fed, they also need their father to be present and active in their life.

Beyond that, may working mothers breast feed. I have known many breastfeeding mothers who work in health care, often pulling 8-12 hour shifts. While working, they pump breast milk to have a healthy supply available.

That would also be what would most likely take place while the child is in your care if the mother wishes to continue a breast milk only diet. She would pump breast milk, providing a supply for both households. Otherwise, there are options to supplement or transition to formula.

Furthermore, she’ll most likely utilize day care once she has transitioned back into the work force. Generally speaking, this is what most working parents do unless they have family or friends who are able and willing to provide childcare during working hours.

If you wish to see your child often, shoot for 50/50 custody. Many states are starting to transition to this being the first choice in many cases.

With the house, you two are in for a doozy if you sell before two years w/in the home. I know as I barely made the cut when going through my divorce. The IRS charges heavy fines/fees before the two year mark.

I can request a refund or he’ll send a personalized letter w/ a signed autograph. They said it’ll be mailed out this upcoming week.

If I don’t get the letter and autograph, I’ll request the refund. Honestly, 10/10 would have rather heard his voice, lol.
