I AM/was a night owl, almost insomniac, bad habits of sleeping 4/5 hours, latest at 3am. But ever since turning 30 during quarantine, I've started to take afternoon naps, and now at 31, my eyes get tired after 11pm. Wth is this?!?! 😵💫💀😭 Anyone else too??
(No kids, but had restless nights lately) how would I even survive when I do have kids then... Lol

My clinic does egg retrievals everyday including Thanksgiving so it doesn’t really matter to them! Whatever’s best for the outcome

My follicles are now at 18mm, 17mm, 16mm…so I am triggering tonight! Egg retrieval on Monday, BOOYAH!
Congratulations! Baby dust on the embryos

I got 6 eggs, all were mature, and all fertilized!! I took ubiquinol for both cycles and introduced açaí berry to my diet 1.5 months ago since my first egg retrieval and improved upon the fertilization rate, so I’d like to think it helped!! In addition to getting great sleep (8-9 hours each night)!!

I'm in a very similar situation. 8 retrieved yesterday, 6 fertilized. Waiting for friday when I'll find out how many made it to Day 5.
Newbie question but is the reason (1) medical or (2) just personal preference? E.g., you just don’t want thanksgiving being interrupted?

Agree, I would definitely stay away from alcohol!

Different perspective but I’m intentionally avoiding a retrieval before holidays in case I get OHSS. Happened last retrieval and I couldn’t walk properly or eat for a week.
Nice! I got 5 normal. 4 girls & 1 boy.

How's it going OP?

My first round of 3 PGT-A embryos included one normal but with a poor grading (c) which the doctor gave a 25% chance of resulting in a live birth. The other 2 have good grades with 65% chance of resulting in live birth. I want 2-3 children in the future, hence went for another retrieval prior to attempting a first transfer.
