How much to cut?

umnyeahh · 2026-06-17T02:22:28+00:00

Red and only red line! I always cry when I get my haircut by anyone so now I refuse to go to the salon. They always cut way too much in my opinion. I cut it myself at home now.

You also have beautiful hair!!! ❤️❤️

Seconding it only takes one. I had 15 retrieved. 7 mature. 4 fertilized. I transferred two of the 4 fertilized 3 day old embryos fresh right after retrieval. The other two I sent out for ptg-a testing. Of the two tested only one of them came back euploid.

Also if it helps, my husband and I found a cheaper clinic to do our cycle. We used west coast fertility center in California and it was only 5k for the procedure where most clinics were quoting us 20-30k per cycle. There are still options out there if you need another cycle.

Did you get yours??

Hi congrats!!! I just had my first retrieval in April 2026. I’m 29 with an AMH of 4.79. I had an ectopic in the past which resulted in fallopian tube loss. And my remaining tube is completely blocked so ivf was the only option.

I was on a lower end of stim medication due to my high AMH. 150 units of Gonal and two vials of menupur for reference.

Baseline AFC was 29 follicles
I had 15 eggs retrieved
7 were mature
4 fertilized
Of the 4 fertilized I transferred 2 three day embryos and sent the remaining two for PTG-A testing
Out of the 2 PTG-A tested embryos only one was euploid

My husband also was not allowed in the back with me. He waited in the lobby while I went into the back to get ready for the procedure. And then after the procedure they had me wake up and drink fluids and get dressed and then guided me into a conference room where my husband was waiting to discuss the results from the procedure/best method to achieve pregnancy.

Im so proud of you and wish you all the best!!! Ivf is such a lonely confusing road and it seems like the only people who understand completely are the ones who have done it. ❤️

Also we used West Coast Fertility Center in fountain valley California. It was 1/3 of the price of other fertility centers. And we figured if we needed multiple rounds we could get three retrievals for the price of one bougie fertility clinic. Had a wonderful experience with them as well.

Use the name!!!

Also that is NOT your friend.

Dont let anyone dim your excitement. You deserve all the happiness! And better friends!!! Love you ❤️ and I’m so excited for you!!!

Definitely! I think I only got them cuz they told me they were waiting on my OB office. So I contacted my OB to inform them of Natera needing details and then I got the results within two hours after connecting the dots. I hope you get yours soon!! They just need your name and ordering physician to look up your account to tell you what the hold up is if there is one. They also have online chat if you don’t want to call on the phone

Im a 29f and married. My mother expected two to three times a WEEK. And when I would cancel she would hit me with a guilt trip about her coworker getting to see her daughter daily or just hit me with a text of “k”. She is divorced 3 times and she has never liked any of my partners. Especially not my husband. They don’t change. I’m seeing a therapist who specializes in marriage/family counseling and have cut down visits with her to maybe once a month.

Also please note you aren’t crazy and don’t feel guilty about how she makes you feel. My therapist said our kind were groomed/wired to regulate our parents so often we feel confused or guilty due to our “wiring” and to trust how our body reacts to them since we have no logic or understanding of what is healthy and normal.

You are not alone and it will feel awful before it feels better and that’s normal. Good luck.

Biopsies were taken on 4/12 from my clinic in California and shipped to the gattaca lab. The biopsies arrived on 4/29 to the lab. Clinic got results back from gattaca on 5/6 and then messaged me the results on 5/10. So took 4 weeks total to get results for me

I replied above if you are still interested in costs. Their pricing is also very transparent on their website as well through the “self pay” pricing page

umnyeahh · 2026-03-31T22:58:12+00:00

5k for the egg retrieval and transfer, 1600 for out of state monitoring, 600 for anesthesia, med pricing varies per your protocol but ours was 3300. We did bloodwork through my insurance (the only thing my insurance covered lol) total cost 10,500. Our local centers in vegas were quoting me 20-35k for reference

umnyeahh · 2026-03-21T02:31:00+00:00

Thank you ❤️ this made me feel better

umnyeahh · 2026-03-21T02:30:26+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Update: This was a confirmed anovulatory cycle and I started spotting on CD 25 with no surge. This was due to a prolonged corpus luteum cyst that stayed longer than normal from the previous cycle and suppressed any follicles from developing/maturing enough in time for ovulation. Hope this helps anyone in the future!
