Whitney you take the most divine pictures. Just beautiful. We have some lovely vineyards in Cape Town down here which I did visit once and enjoy! A girls trip long ago. But this looks lovely.

Re: A real-life guide to mild and moderate Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)

Hi. Thank you for sharing your experience. I was warned about HOSS when my E2 level jumped from 5000 to 16000 in 2 days. I retrieved 21 eggs and 11 of them are at Day 3 now. My doctor has been informing me very well about HOSS, and I will have an option to do transfer or freezing on Day 5, depending on my condition. I have mild OHSS symptom now such as pain in stomach. I was searching how to reduce the fluid in tummy, so your advice helps me a lot. I'm going to get some salty food :) Thank you so much again. Hope the best with you!

Hi, All of this information has been very helpful. My symptoms were slightly more delayed then what I have read, but the description of symptoms is so similar to some, that what I thought was food poisoning may actually be OHSS, mild or moderate, depending on your personal experiences. Some of the stories have been horrific, which makes mine seem mild in comparison. I am 37 and just had my egg retrieval procedure done a week and a day ago. I was able to freeze 8 out of 9 eggs that were retrieved. I actually went home with only mild cramping and did not miss any work, as my procedure was done on a Sunday and I went back on Monday. During the week following the procedure, I had mild bloating and discomfort when I ate, but I assumed that was normal since it was relatively mild and resolved with TUMS. Almost a week after the procedure, I had 24 hours of what I thought was food poisoning, or a stomach bug. Vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramping evolved into just diarrhea and mild stomach cramps after 12 hours, and those symptoms lasted another 12. The most notable part was that after the initial bought of vomiting, everything was a neon yellow/green bile substance that came up. I literally felt like my body was purging itself of something. I peed frequently, and it was a dark yellow/brown color. Fortunately, after that 24 hours, my body seems to have recovered. I am able to eat, and my bodily functions have returned to normal. Due to brief time limit of my symptoms, I thought I ate something that gave me food poisoning, but I am beginning to think it was related to the egg retrieval drugs. I will definitely be discussing this with my doctor, as I am supposed to do another cycle to retrieve additional eggs for future use. Thank you all for sharing, as I probably would not have thought anything of this without your stories.

Hi I'm 37 years old I'm so in love with my husband he is my best friend my world my soul mate my everything. He wanted nothing more than to see all my dreams come true. But unfortunately I have had 22 surgeries on my Fallopian tubes and unable to become pregnant. I was devastated when I have been trying to concieve for 20 years now. Yet still unable to have a baby. My husband and I aren't at all rich. But we have love in our hearts and souls. We believe in God and Jesus and keep our faith knowing that one day we will be blessed by a heavenly angel willing to help us hold our little miracle. But we can't afford IVF, adoption, or surrogacy. There is so many times I see young mother's killing their babies when here is my husband and I a loving couple that is dying to be parents and can't be. I would take the baby into our home no questions asked like most hospitals have now for parents that don't want one. But I pray that some miracle will happen that someone would be willing to give us our dream angel baby. 😇

You are a scammer. You said that you adopted a son with you husband 11 years ago, and said although you and your husband has been together for about 7 years. What is your mission here?,

Re: Our adventure getting from Spain to Morocco

Tammy — Sun, 12 Nov 2017 08:20:01 -0000

Hi,

How are you? I was reading your information and found
it to be very interesting and helpful. I wanted to get your
recommendations. We will be staying in Algeciras and want to go to
Morocco for the day. I have two options. I can travel from
Algeciras to Ceuta to cross into/be in Morocco. We would then see Tetuan
for half the day then travel to Tangier. On the way home we would go back
to Ceuta and then return to Algeciras.

The second option would be to cross just to Tangier and stay
the entire day. We would have a tour group either way. We’ve heard
Said Tours are good, but have no idea if they are or not.

I’ve heard that crossing back to Algeciras is a mad house
with people actually running to the customs line because if you’re in the back
of the line, you could wait for hours. I have also heard that the tours
just to Tangier get done around 3:15 and the ferry doesn’t leave till 6:30.

I was wondering crossing in Ceuta would be less stressful
than Tangier and if that extra town, Tetuan would be worth seeing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Tammy

Hi,
We are going to Morocco for one day. Is it worth visiting Tetuan and is it less stressful to cross by Ceuta or Algeciras? We have the option to go to Tetuan and Tangier or just Tangier

Misty Rader — Sun, 05 Nov 2017 17:53:40 -0000

Hi Everyone, My name is Misty and I'm 37 years old. I have 3 children (20,11,and 8) of my own and am still madly in love with my High school sweetheart! I teach 5th grade Language and Science in a small rural school and am also a Registered Nurse on a small cardiac floor as needed. When I am not working I LOVE spending time traveling, camping, hiking, and pursuing new adventures with my family. (Teaching is my second career.) I had a tubal ligation and am not interested in donating eggs. WE LOVED being pregnant and I hope to help a family realize their dream of having a baby of their own. So we've decided GESTATIONAL SURROGACY is a great choice for us. My insurance does NOT have surrogacy exclusions but only only pays 60% of delivery costs. Please contact me at mdr4226@gmail.com if you think I may be a good match for your surrogacy needs.

I had OHS and my doctor told me the protocol is low sodium diet and to limit fluid intake (to about 6 cups). So not sure where you are getting your information.

My brother and his wife just had their first baby last week. They had to travel to Ukraine in order to become pregnant. They use of modern techniques of artificial fertilization there. This baby was a product of the first try with IVF. Such a blessing. This medical center helps women who are no longer able to have a baby naturally, due to the end of childbearing age. Carrying out such procedures as IVF, ICSI, egg donation and surrogacy doctors successfully conduct programs for women after 40. Because to me now age of 40 years no longer considered as a late age for birth of child. Today three times more women give birth to their first child after 35 than it was twenty years ago. Therefore it is life and it is modern times when everything is possible

Re: What you need to know about Puerto Rico

Fred Cohen — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 15:32:53 -0000

An accurate reflection with one really crucial situation.... the island has been bled dry by corrupt Liberal politicians that learned their trade from the U.S. Congress. As Forrest Gump aptly put it --- Stupid Is As Stupid Does. I lived on St. Thomas in the U.S, Virgin Islands for 12-years and its governing legislative body of 16 Senators for only 105,000 people on 3 islands were careful taught to emulate the same U.S. Congress. The beautiful people of PR and WSVI deserve better but the people will need to make the necessary changes.

Re: A give-away in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week

Barbara — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 09:09:04 -0000

When people ask me questions, I prefer to answer them rather than beat around the bush or give a non-answer. Because of that, many of my friends and most of the people at my work know what's going on and I've basically become the school educator on fertility issues (fine by me). Hubby doesn't care who knows but doesn't really talk about it, so very few of his friends/co-workers know. That being said, we aren't saying anything on Facebook. I'd almost like to...I don't like the silence that people go through with IF and would like others to know that they are not alone, but we have 2 issues: 1) my extended family is SUPER Catholic and I don't know if they would approve of ART. I don't care if they approve or not I'm going to do it anyway in Biotexcom clinic, but it's not worth the argument. Hubby's extended family is SUPER over-helpful and think that worry = love. I'm fairly open with my close friends and coworkers. IF can be so isolating, but for me, to know I had some friends who can relate would be the most valuable outcome of a post.

Re: Crossing the line with, “Why don’t you adopt?”

Dean Abele — Sat, 07 Oct 2017 15:55:19 -0000

I'm infertile and the "just adopt" argument annoys me. But I still don't think that other people should have to pay for my fertility treatment. Child-rearing is a choice after all.

Hi, my name is Faith, I’m 37 and looking for a surrogate gestional carrier in California. Perferrably Central or Northern California. I have a 13 year old from a previous relationship but haven’t been able to conceive with my husband. Last pregnancy ended with miscarriage at 16 weeks with 2 abdominal surgeries life support and 10 blood transfusions. After waiting a year to try and conceive again things are just not looking good so my doctor has strongly advised us not to try again. This is devastating news but now we understand that I could die if I try to conceive again so now I’m looking for a kind soul to be our surrogate. I can’t afgord to go through the agencies and am looking all over for someone to help us. If your at all interested please contact me at hope013016@gmail.com

Hello, So many of your stories are so inspiring and I wish the best for all of you. My husband and I have been on this journey for 10 years and after several failed IVF's and IUI's and a recent treatment for thyroid cancer, I am about to give up. This has prompted me to seek out a gestational carrier for our last PGS tested and genetically normal embryo. The thought of using it and experiencing another failed transfer would break my heart and dreams...as many of you can empathize with or have experienced. If anyone knows of a gestational surrogate with health insurance friendly for surrogacy, please let us know. I have been looking into agency but the financial addition for finding a match is quite high...I am following the advice of telling everyone I know...this blog hopefully will help. If interested, please email at jyearms@gmail.com. Thank you!!!!
