I'm still in the game, but keeping quieter at this point. I'm willing to bet I have a thicker skin than most people out there and I can take quite a lot, but this thread became rather hostile and added unnecessary anxiety to the waiting game during my embryos' development. I appreciate the posters who chastised those who questioned my doctor's recommendations. I really do. And I appreciate the PP here who has his or her fingers crossed for me. I hope they stay crossed, as mine will be for you if you still need that. I think this forum has been beneficial to me and others, and I strive to keep a positive tone when responding to other posters' questions. I would hope others do as well. We should all be rooting for one another here, rather than criticizing and introducing doubt into one another's minds. I'm educated about what I'm doing and I trust my doctor. I relied on this group for support, not extra anxiety. I do not appreciate the suggestion to take myself to some sanitized website where I could avoid any suggestions. Suggestions are okay; unsupported critiques are just worthless, particularly coming from who I assume are not medical professionals. |

| I'm a new poster to this thread, but I think you're extremely sensitive. One person posted "sounds like a gamble" and you think the thread has turned hostile. Holy overreaction batman! (BTW, I agree with that person. It is a gamble. It may be the right choice for you, but it is a gamble to pass up the opportunity of transferring embryos in order to hope there are embryos available on day 5. I hope it works out for you.) |

+1 OP, you are extremely sensitive. If you bet that you "have thicker skin than most" you would lose the bet. I hope your other "gamble" works out. A lot (or at least, several) people followed your journey and it would be nice to know the outcome. Good luck and good vibes to you. |

I completely agree. Thick skin? You've got to be kidding, or you have a very distorted self-image. Honestly, everyone on this thread has been supportive and rooting for you, OP, and if you don't like what they tell you, well, then don't ask questions on DCUM, where there is lots of educated people who actually think and have opinions, because you might get some responses that are not what you expect. You say suggestions are ok, but apparently only when they are in line with what you are doing anyway, because otherwise you call them "unsupported critiques". The truth is, none of the comments here were unsupported. That doesn't mean they proved you are on the wrong track -- after all, we never know for sure what the right track is. They were food for thought, and possibly for a conversation with your RE. If any comment that is not affirmative of your planned path causes you anxiety, then DCUM is going to be a tough place for you. I hope the time posters have spent time commenting on your situation will not be wasted because there will be other people will find their posts interesting or useful. I did, in any event. Good luck to you, OP, and I'm saying this without snark! Ultimately, most of it comes down to luck. |

| NP here. You pp's need to chill out. I thought the "it's a gamble" poster was out of line too. How many of us have driven ourselves crazy worrying about every little detail of this process? Look at that poster who just opened a thread listing every beta and FSH score she's ever had. The second guessing is one of the hardest things to manage and you all know that from experience. Not that I don't think there isn't a legitimate point to be made about the pros and cons of a three-day versus a five-day transfer, but telling someone they are "gambling" in the middle of a cycle is an artless way to engage that conversation, to say the least. |
