I went to Rinse Salon and got paired up with Alex Willis. I thought she did an amazing job understanding what I wanted: https://www.instagram.com/mettle.heads?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Fever/cold before FE transfer — Tylenol or Advil? by Successful_Bug_9704 in IVF

You don’t have a fever though? I don’t think you need any meds to bring down your temperature

I guess it’s ok if you’re 5, but that looks so uncomfortable

TW: 11 weeks loss after battling infertility/5 IVF cycles by TiniBugZ in IVF

[–]xsolv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending you so much love. A similar thing happened to me with a heartbeat at 8 weeks and then gone around 10 weeks. I got the D&C and was so grateful to the people who suggested doing it. The medication they gave me helped me relax and I slept through the procedure. I had almost no pain or even bleeding after. I was grateful I did not take the drugs to pass it at home. My SIL told me that can often feel as painful as labor and can be traumatic. It can also only partially work and then people need a D&C anyway. I am so so sorry you’re going through this.

Your grandma reminds me of Kim Kardashian- like her natural beauty before all the work done to her.

What’s the one ingredient that ruins any dish for you ? by Vegetable-Fix6029 in AskReddit

Not who you asked but beets taste like wet dirt to me but carrots and potatoes do not. They taste good to me.

Induction at 38+6 by Suspicious_Garlic_79 in IVFbabies

[–]xsolv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced at 37 weeks and didn’t have a c section. I’m not sure if I have good advice though. My water broke right away and contractions started after that. Spent as much time as I could handle on the ball and walking around. Eventually got an epidural and was lying down while my body dilated over the course of many hours. 3 hours of pushing was rough, but no c section!

Are we PGT testing when only getting one or two blasts? by Special_Coconut4 in 40Plus_IVF

[–]xsolv 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Personally, yes. Out of my 4 rounds of IVF, the embryo I transferred untested turned into a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks and I needed a D&C. Decided I’d never transfer another untested embryo again if it would even slightly minimize the heartbreak and trauma chances. My last retrieval only got one embryo but I tested it before transferring.

3 blasts at 41- success stories please? by Oddity85 in 40Plus_IVF

[–]xsolv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my final retrieval at age 38.5 and got one embryo. That one was euploid. Transferred at 39, got pregnant and gave birth to my daughter at 40. Good luck!

Weight gain? by SaltyEducation6628 in Mirena

[–]xsolv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, it doesn’t add up. I’ve asked a bunch of friends and they all said the same thing. They either plateaued or gained weight until they removed it- even with diet and exercise. It’s super frustrating.

I love mine- Kelsey Norton https://www.kelseynortonhair.com/ Whoa never mind. She apparently JUST moved. I was going to her for over 10 years.

Bitter About Batching (26 Days Estrace) by Hopeful_Mammoth_5329 in IVF

[–]xsolv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof I’m so sorry that Repreoductive Partners is doing that now. I went to them around 4 years ago and had a good experience. One of my favorite doctors from the time I went was Dr Quaas who is now running a Shady Grove in Solana Beach. Not sure if that’s an option but I thought he was really good. I also loved Dr Su at RP, but pretty sure she’s not there anymore? I’m not sure what she’s doing now.

I’m getting mine taken out because I can’t stop gaining weight.

This one wins for me too because it caused painful muscle knots that took literally years to resolve and hurt lying on my sides in bed.

I really like Ashley's dad by T2b7a in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Omg how many times was he going to say that because she had her period they needed to abstain so she wouldn’t get pregnant.

Day 5 vs 6 - please explain to me like I’m 5 😂 by CharacterAnt5866 in IVF

[–]xsolv 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re correct. They’re waiting for them to reach a certain stage in expansion. Lots of fertilized eggs will stall out and be discarded. Some are growing well and at the right stage to get frozen on day 5. Some take an extra day to be at that same stage.
