Single 38F, got my AMH levels back: 2.45; 27 follicles. I want more than one kid, don't think I can afford more than 1 egg retrieval. I'm feeling really sad.

I (38, well 38 and 7 months to be technical) am single, not dating anyone, and still want a husband and kids. When I was 35, my AMH was 4.38. I got my levels checked a few weeks ago, and it dropped down to 2.45. I have an intro call with a fertility clinic for egg freezing in a few weeks.

I'm doing this alone and my insurance doesn't cover the retrieval at all, and already the cost of everything for 1 retrieval was terrifying, I was hoping I had a high enough AMH amount where I could definitely get enough eggs for 2 possible pregnancies. The doctor said they might be able to get 20 eggs in 1 retrieval, but 2 retrievals would be the better option.

I also asked him if he would be concerned if I got pregnant naturally at 40, he said that for 1 baby that's fine, but if I want 2 that won't be doable because getting pregnant naturally at 42 would be really hard with poor egg quality. And if my AMH levels dropped that much in 3 years, who knows what they'll be at 40.

Thinking through it, that would mean I could try to conceive naturally at 40, and if that doesn't work I'll have the frozen eggs. But again, I'm single, and I want a husband. I don't want to use donor sperm.

You might be thinking, why haven't you tried to find anyone? 32 & 33 was COVID shit, 34 & 35 tried but didn't have any luck. At 36 I moved to a new city, and unfortunately had to deal with some personal losses the past few years. Now at 38, I'm finally in a good spot....but haven't met anyone yet.

But I have the intro call with the fertility clinic, and I don't know what to except. I'm so scared of the cost, and I'll be out of town in late July and late August.

I wish I did this at 36 or 37...

Recommendations on clinics for egg freezing in Phoenix/Scottsdale areas? Can you share the cost and your expensive?

I (late 30s F) am thinking about freezing my eggs, and am very overwhelmed.

I'm not asking about IVF yet, but just want to know about egg freezing, mainly how complicated and expensive it's going to be.

Thank you

At this point if you are a brand, person, or event who does new business with Ryan Reynolds or Blake Lively, I'm embarrassed for you.

Looking at you Stephen Colbert and Fendi.

I will never understand sycophants and people who easily roll over for assholes and bullies. I see this all the time in the real world and at work. At work though it's more understandable (to an extent) because it's your job.

But I thought the Reynolds' lost a lot of power over the past especially. ESPECIALLY with what Sony said about both of those two bottom-feeder buffoons.

It was disheartening to see Fendi adding in that terrible (hehe) shot of Blake to their Instagram, after I'm sure they heard from Ryan. Why couldn't they have told him to f off? Fendi is worth billions - why are they allowing themselves to be steamrolled by these losers?

And why Stephen....why???? I didn't watch the segment but it seems like Ryan ad-libbed with feeding bananas to someone (?). Yeah no shit he would pull something!

Blake and Ryan are deadbeat lowlifes who have only gotten their wealth by stealing, blackmailing, and steamrolling people. If someone chooses to work with them going forward, I assume that person or brand is easily manipulated and probably also an idiot, and I won't have much sympathy when those two screw them over.

At least the public is continuing with constant comments on it (please everyone - don't stop this!). Maybe the calls back to the Reynolds will soon become fewer and fewer, than eventually never come. Or they are both so slimy and scammy, maybe they'll get flagged by the IRS.

Are there any folks who have wavy hair, but your hair is so fine the waves do not hold and go flat, but if you try to wear straight it gets frizzy? How do you wear your hair so that it just doesn't look like crap and what products do you use?

*Mods - my hair is FINE* My FINE hair is low porosity and doesn't like protein.

I'm at my wits end, and I have wasted so much money trying to find the right products.

I have tried: creams, gels, mousse, texture spray; scrunching, plopping, diffusing; applying products soaking wet, damp, towel dried. Every time it ends the same way - with my waves falling flat into straight hair, but then gets frizzy because it's supposed to be be wavy. My hair is just so incredibly fine, NOTHING works with it.

If this is your hair type, do you wear it straight or wavy? And how do you get it to just look good?

I'm craving that amazing chocolate cake, but I only want to splurge if it has that delicious extra icing. I don't care if it says happy birthday or if it's decorated for a holiday I don't celebrate - I WANT IT! Like today's 4/30, what are the chances some of the pre-made cakes have some sort of that extra decorative frosting??
