Just had my egg retrieval today. Doctor said they got 8 eggs. Any success stories with that number? I know it's a little low...

Were they all mature? The thread that was posted might make you feel like 8 isn’t a lot but I’ve heard many stories of friends getting around only 4-5 if that helps put 8 into perspective!

Am wondering if that would be less expensive since I’ve been told that doctors and insurance companies mutually set the rates when things get processed through insurance.I’m at the beginning of this journey and already drowning in bills. It seems that even visits to the OBGYN to discuss test results related to fertility are not covered, let alone the tests and ovulation induction meds :(

Can I have some advice on how to lose 4-6 pounds? 

I was in my ideal body weight until the last couple of months when I gained weight (I stopped working out and I was not eating healthy at all). I retook IF, healthy eating & exercise (HIIT mostly) to start off the year - I know 2-3 weeks is nothing but I'm getting frustrated because it's been easier for me to lose weight in the past yet I'm not sure why I see no changes this time. If anything I feel more flabbier and soft.

About 10 days ago I was exposed to someone who later tested positive for covid. I’m super careful normally. I got a rapid test 7 days after exposure and a PCR test 8 days after exposure and they both came back negative. Since about day 5 after exposure I’ve been SUPER tired though. I’ll drink a ton of coffee, way more than normal, and still feel exhausted. Then off and on I’ve been having stomach issues. Have any of you had this happen? I feel like I have to have it but the tests say no. 🤷🏻‍♂️
