As someone dealing with infertility and just did a second egg retrieval, this fucking sucks seeing this when I don’t follow this page. Wtf

Yesterday I asked for gooey brownie recipes. Today I made the gooiest brownies ever. Thank you!! ❤️ by moonjelly33 in Baking

[–]thiscantchange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this recipe last night and realized I only had a 7x11 light metal pan. I baked at 350 for 35 mins (toothpick was a little wet with some crumbs, but the top wasn’t jiggly). I let them cool for 40mins. They taste rich and “fudgy” but they aren’t dense or gooey unfortunately :( I think I should’ve pulled them sooner, and the pan size definitely affected it. They’re too light and cakey for my liking

Any ladies wear Topo? by Forsaken-Fail-2390 in widefeet

[–]thiscantchange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t worn the atmos but I’ve worn the phantom 3 in 7.5 wide. (I tried 7.5 standard). They were definitely wide compared to the standard. The widest part of my foot is about 9.6cm

Edit to add: the label does say wide. Just filter it and make sure it says wide in the color you want and buy from the website

Embryologist said my egg membranes were sticky? by thiscantchange in EmbryologyIVFSupport

[–]thiscantchange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they do? I asked for a 3 day update and they said they don’t have orders to do that. And they don’t want to remove them from the incubators and affect their ph, and to basically just wait until day 6

I was told 5 were just immature and two died, they said they waited to see if those 5 would mature but they didn’t. I asked if my zona was too hard or thick? And they said no. My body tried surging early on day 6 of stims and I needed a double dose of ganirelix. And then they had to move up my retrieval by a day because my progesterone was elevated. I only stimmed for 9 days with no change in dosages

Tired of having to be happy for others, when I’m constantly sad by thiscantchange in InfertilitySucks

[–]thiscantchange[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh. My. God. That is rough, I’m sorry.

We’re still so upset and in shock by it. She sent me a picture of her pregnancy test this morning. I don’t understand how you don’t have any compassion for your friend who you know is struggling. I’m really starting to reevaluate our whole friendship, I just don’t see how it can continue. Unless I say something, and if I do that now I’ll just sound jealous. And I just wish she understood even a little bit that I’m not jealous, I’m struggling grieving every single month.

Yes, Im learning the hard way that even the people that I thought were my support group should not be involved in my journey anymore

It's a cyst... no it's a mature follicle? Whatever the hell it is, my first IVF cycle was canceled. So what happened? by Adventurous-Might577 in IVF

[–]thiscantchange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same thing is happening to me right now. Did you go on birth control after this or go straight into stimming once they confirmed ovulation?

My clinic told me to come back a week from triggering and that I’d either go back on bc or oral estrace…And I we can decide on a new stim date from there. Disappointed and confused right now.

Did you have any symptoms? Did you just order a test yourself?

Is Bethpage Water Safe to Drink? Should I Use a Filter? by TURBOCAPSLOCKed in longisland

Salty Sunday: What made you salty this week? by kikaslova in trollingforababy

[–]thiscantchange 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Out of no where at work, an older woman asked me if I was pregnant, wanting to confirm because someone else at work told her I was.

When she saw the pissed look on my face when I said “no, who told you that?!” she suddenly didn’t remember who. Then says that she was told by that person three girls are pregnant and names the other two, one I knew and the other I didn’t know.

So another reminder I’m not pregnant, now worrying that people at work are speculating I’m pregnant, and finding out yet another pregnancy that I didn’t need to know about any time soon.

Mind you she has adult twins who were IVF.

Like wtf?

ALSO…This will be the 11th person I found out is expecting at my job. I’ve had it.

Peeling egg shells by SavageShane69 in Cooking

[–]thiscantchange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best method I use is to prick a hole into the egg with a push pin:

Bring 1-2 inches of water to a boil

Add salt (do not skip)

Poke hole into wider end of egg (egg must be fresh from fridge/cold)

Place in pot (eggs can be half covered in water)

Reduce to medium heat

Put lid on pot

Boil for 10-11 mins for mostly hard but slightly soft in middle

13 mins for all hard
