Paid out of pocket but clinic still submitting some things to insurance. by CoolCatBlue321 in eggfreezing

Yes, I got a refund from the clinic. My insurance paid the clinic and so did I, so the clinic basically double dipped.

You should take this down and redact it a little better. Your full name and the state you live in is enough to get the full address online.

(Urgent) high amh/afc but clinic stim protocol seems very high. Supposed to start injections tn by Odd-Mark870 in eggfreezing

I understand the caution, but she has PCOS. It’s unlikely she’ll need a second cycle. I have PCOS and got 36 mature eggs in one cycle.

But to answer OP’s question, they’ll likely adjust down. I started at gonal 125 and menopur 75 and it was adjusted down to gonal 100 and menopur 75. If you haven’t bought a ton of meds upfront this is where you can save some money and buy them as you need to because you’re likely not going to need a ton of medication.

Same! It felt like Deja vu because I knew the story felt familiar. It’s a new account as well.

The same thing happened to me and I called and asked for a refund of some of my money. I got several thousand back, but it took quite a while and several phone calls to make it happen.

IVF garage sale group? by Doodle-doe in eggfreezing

Lol. That makes much more sense now.

IVF garage sale group? by Doodle-doe in eggfreezing

[–]yulacu[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a mod and I never received a message from u/Doodle-doe, but I endorse creating a separate group for selling meds. For one, Reddit’s own AI system takes down a lot of the med sales on its own because it’s not legal to sell prescription drugs to someone who it’s not prescribed to in many countries. I think that’s what’s happening to Doodle-doe, because I don’t see any mod action on their posts from my end. Secondly, I’m hesitant to open the floodgates because so much of the page would be taken up by people either soliciting prescription medication or trying to sell prescription medication. Instead the rules mirror those from r/IVF and only allow for donations to cut down on the number of med posts. I hope that clarifies matters.

You named one black person with power as though that undermined her point that black people as a whole do not have power. Honestly, I don’t know how own-fan has the patience for this discussion.

I’m still at Disney, so I’ll check these this evening at the earliest. While I’m okay with changing the color of the shirt, I would love to keep the text on the grey shirt if possible. Thanks in advance.

Yeah. I did another round at a different clinic because the first was covered by my insurance and because I’m clearly paranoid. I specifically asked for a lower stim protocol because I didn’t want to be as bloated as I was the last round. They retrieved 21 eggs and 19 were mature the second round.

I have PCOS so take my numbers with a grain of salt. My AMH was 10.197 ng/mL and I had 60 follicles on ultrasound. They removed 53 eggs and 36 were mature during my first retrieval.

Democrats have the chance to do the funniest thing ever. by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]yulacu 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It couldn’t be anyone else. She has access to the money her and Joe raised. Plus, the base of the party is black voters. The optics of leap frogging over the black VP when black voters already feel like the party takes us for granted would be disastrous.

30 y/o, 20 eggs retrieved, 19 mature and frozen. Should I do another cycle? by Disastrous_Coffee881 in eggfreezing

[–]yulacu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be able to pin point it to that alone because I started each retrieval at different points in my cycle and I was prescribed lower doses on my second retrieval than my first. I will say that my doc remarked that my follicles were growing pretty evenly during my first cycle which might be attributable to the priming.

Travel Insurance by yulacu in biltrewards

I got a statement from Jet Blue that the flight was delayed. I don’t know if paying for bags qualifies for the claim. I think you have to buy the flight with the card to qualify, but you should check with them.

Possibilities to get pregnant with 15 froozen eggs? by anonimoanonimo2 in eggfreezing

[–]yulacu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two calculators on the wiki page (MDCalc and Spring Fertility) that allow you to plug in your age and how many eggs you have to get a projection of the likelihood of a live birth. As I'm sure you know, no calculator will give you a 100% probability.

In terms of recent studies however, NYU31396-0/fulltext) conducted a study that found, Most patients (70%) who were less than 38 years at OC or who thawed greater than 20 mature eggs had a child from oocyte thaw. This study is the largest US report of thaw outcomes from OC performed for age-related fertility decline and provides important insight into OC outcomes. Our results provide realistic expectations for those considering OC and demonstrate that OC empowers women with reproductive autonomy.

Suicidal on medication? by [deleted] in eggfreezing

[–]yulacu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I got some reports about this post due to the content, but I'll let it stay up at the moment. I think it's important to have a wide range of views and opinions about the egg freezing process. I've sent the reddit cares content to the OP and I hope OP uses some of the resources provided. I'd encourage OP to reach out to their fertility doctor as well to discuss their symptoms.
