IVF ROUND #2

hey lil 🍋s

today starts a much awaited step into my next round of IVF. while this cycle will not involve an egg retrieval, since i have 2 embryos frozen, i still need to prime and prepare my body for transfer.

these meds leave me fairly unwell, but now that i've been through it once i know what to expect.

are you or someone you know going through IVF?

it's the club no one wants to be part of, but by the grace of God I pray it leads to the birth of a child.

... Read moreIn vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex process that can be emotionally and physically demanding. As you prepare for IVF round #2, it's essential to approach the experience with an informed mindset. Familiarizing yourself with the medication schedule, understanding the science behind embryo transfers, and knowing what to expect physically can help mitigate some anxiety. Engaging with support groups or online communities can provide comfort and shared experiences from others in similar situations. Their journey can offer not only tips but also emotional support when needed the most. The importance of self-care cannot be overstated during this time; managing stress levels through activities such as mindfulness, yoga, or simply spending time with loved ones can be profound. Finding joy in small victories and moments of positivity is crucial while navigating the uncertainties of IVF. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and reaching out to friends, family, or professional counseling services can help you cope. While IVF may feel like an uphill battle, with determination, hope, and the right support system, many have found success in their quest for a family. Stay tuned for personal updates and tips that might help you on your journey!

IVF or natural
Were my kids IVF or natural? I want to say that all my kids came naturally and as someone who doesn’t have legs, it has put things in perspective that you don’t always lose everything. Some women out there are struggling to have children while I have them easily. Yes they have legs but they’re miss

An educational infographic titled 'Different Types of IV Solutions' explains Isotonic, Hypertonic, and Hypotonic IV fluids. It details each type's concept, examples (e.g., 0.9% NS, 3% NS, 0.45% NS), uses (e.g., fluid maintenance, cerebral edema, cellular dehydration), and includes mnemonics and visual aids illustrating fluid shifts and cellular responses.

This image is a study guide for drug dosage calculations, covering single dose calculations using the D/H x Q formula, and IV infusion rate calculations (ml/hr). It includes formulas for rate, time, and volume, a conversion table for minutes to hours, and multiple examples for each calculation type.
Dosage Calculation - Single Dose, IV drip etc
I’m not really a “take-notes-in-class” kind of girlie — I learn best through visuals and listening. What’s helped me the most with formulas is creating study guides for each one, with clear examples and steps. When I get stuck solving a problem, I go back to those guides as quick reference sheets.
