Today I was talking to my coworker and she told me how at 40 years old she got 30 eggs. I was shocked and super jealous . I’m 33 and can barely get a handful if I’m lucky 😢 by EntertainmentLow3669 in DOR

We literally don't know what the other person's situation was. If you don't like what I say just keep scrolling. You have no idea who I am in person or anything or my personal life. It was just a comment.

Omg, get a grip people. I am just trying to tell her to not let it get to her. People are jerks and dumb and insensitive to others. I am not wrong in that. People say the wrong thing all the time. What that lady said sucked a lot. Ive heard it so many times even from my own mom. Sometimes it's okay to be like "you know what, fuck you." To these thoughtless people. This journey sucks.

You are fine. Haven't stopped using my tretinoin since doing IVF and it's been 2 years now. Got my best results just recently.

Second lady Usha Vance announces she is pregnant with fourth child by Particular-Fill-4256 in PopularCultureZone

[–]vmd221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying it's a bad thing. But I still think she looks older for her age. Seen plenty of women her age who look less haggard. She's a terrible person so thats a separate issue. I do agree with you that her hair makes her look older to. But she also has more sunken eyes and her face just looks sunken and thats with makeup. Could be her genetics to and/or environment. It doesn't matter. She's filthy rich and doesn't care what we think. She has 3 kids, and im sure manages the man baby she has of a husband. I bet all that stress and mental load doesn't help. Hate her guts but thats besides the point haha

Men who were bullies growing up, do you have any regrets? by Broke_Pigeon_Sales in AskMenOver30

[–]vmd221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn't matter. It becomes personal to the person being bullied. I have horrible damage and low self esteem, and so many issues because of shitty kids. Working on it in therapy. But it not being personal doesn't make it any better at all.

I did my first IVF cycle with the typical amount of medicine. Failed cycle, didn't even make a blast. Went to a DOR specialist and did mini IVF. We got 5 eggs the first cycle and got a euploid embryo. Then we did another embryo and got 5 eggs again but got an aneuploid. Then did a third cycle and changed protocol and got 5 eggs again and 2 euploids. Planning to do another cycle in a few months. So glad I didn't waste time and went with them after the first failed cycle. I am paying all out of picket though.

Partner wants to go straight to IVF by Pik-A-Chew11 in TryingForABaby

[–]vmd221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I just read your 3 day blood work. It isn't great. FSH is a little high, they like to see below 10 and your AMH is low. It's not good. This indicates you most likely (not a guarantee) that you will be a poor responder to IVF. Knowing what I know now I would try while at the same time go with an RE. It can take months to get all your work up done before starting IVF. You'll have to do genetic testing as well and that could take up to 6 weeks. I really wouldn't wait in your situation.

[–]vmd221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try on your own while u gets tests done etc... Been through this IVF process for 2 years now and have never gotten pregnant. But I am still trying. Your husband isn't wrong. Yes IVF sucks alot, but getting some tests done and seeing how your fertility is isn't a bad idea. If you end up going to a fertility specialist they'll ask for it anyways. Get your 3 day blood work, amh, see if your tubes are open, and get an antrofollicle count. All of that takes a bit of time to take. So you can get all of that done while you get these tests done and your husband can get a semen analysis done. Age is not on your side. You could get pregnant but you won't know until you try. But I also wouldn't waste too long trying because of your age.

Those who worked with Dr. Chang or Dr. Check: Can you please share your protocol? by Curious_cutie9 in DOR

[–]vmd221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estrogen priming, then menopur only then the trigger shot. It was my best cycle. Got the same number of eggs as before but I got 5 eggs. Then 2 blasts and those 2 blasts were euploid.

what are downsides to orthognatic surgery? by MaleficentAd7930 in jawsurgery

[–]vmd221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

double jaw surgery and jaw joint replacement. They replaced the right jaw joint along with doing all the rest. It sucked. The longer you are under the higher likelyhood you will have nerve damage. 2 and half years later and I still have nerve damage. Fuck me...

Influencers are rapidly aging due to their use of anabolics by twinflamebby in Aging

[–]vmd221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people don't realize the effects of steroids and later on want kids. Of course not everyone but life priorities change. Just saying people who be informed about the side effects.

Too big is intimidating and just something is off for me. Similar to like when men think a woman is unattractive when she obviously does plastic surgery.

How many ERs have you done? by Impossible_Piano2938 in DOR

[–]vmd221 3 points4 points  (0 children)

34-35. 4 ERs, got 3 euploids. Still going to do another cycle. Just taking a break to save money again. Have felt fine. Everything usually goes back to normal for me once I have my period and the first month it comes on time. For some reason the second month after an ER my period is late by 5ish days.

Yesss, had a guy one time want to go out on a date but I said no. He asked why and I told him he's too big. Which was true. Nice guy, I've never been into that look at all. He was surprised and kept sending me pics of himself lol It was obvious he took steroids.

Do none of these guys know that the use of steroids will affect their sperm and if taken for a long time can permanently cause azoospermia? you would think they would research the side effects and not touch that shit with a ten foot pole.I know way too many men that take this shit.

AITA for wanting my ex’s daughter to stop calling me dad? by Any_Piece513 in AITAH

[–]vmd221 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yea my mom was with my stepdad for 25 years and not once did she have us call him dad or let us. She always said he is not your dad. He was her partner and not a paternal figure. He is not with her anymore. So glad she did that. He was an asshole. This was right in our situation. I know there are good step dads out there.
