First FET
Yeaterday we had our tested embygirl transferred. She is 6AA final grade and according to doctor everything was looking great. I hope she sticks. Wanted to hear your experiences days after transfer, did you do bed rest / couch potato / back to work? My clinic says take it easy first 3 days but no bed

Disimpacted 9 year old and still soiling
my 9 year old has been suffering with chronic constipation for 6 years, we are all at our wits end. It is hugely affecting my, but more importantly her, mental health. At the beginning of July we had a hospital stay for disimpaction via a NG tube. This was effective. Doctor prescribed 5 ml of sodium

My eGFR has increased nearly 20 points (74) and creatinine decreased to .83. No protein in urine and sodium, potassium, phosphorus, albumin (as well as other parameters) are all exceptional!

My husband was due to speak to the upper GI consultant next week.It has been cancelled again 3rd time. He has been waiting 12 months now for this appointment. I am so angry. I am going to ring the Secretary tomorrow to ask if they can please reconsider. He is very poorly now. Sleeping mostly, not eating

Besremi Update 15 Months
Hi Community! I titrated my Besremi to 180 from 150 over the last three doses (a bit of a story there for another time). I assumed I'd need a phlebotomy as I hadn't had a CBC for 7 weeks and my Hematocrit was already 40 but it went down 2 points! Almost never happens without phlebotomy. Everything

RA pain & inflammation causing terrible anxiety: pacing, insomnia
Experiencing terrible anxiety & insomnia when RA pain flares up- but gp & rheum won’t give sedatives. They act like I’m an addict; so I take a few glasses of wine & I don’t even like liquor. Am in the USA. These drs have no problem giving expensive, “big gun” RA meds & high dose prednisone - but
