I'm looking for anyone's advice for an amazing place to go in-person bra fitting and shopping, where I can get properly fitted, then have bras be present that I can try on in-store, not just order online.

It needs to be somewhere that covers unusual sizes. I'm not interested in a store like Soma/ Airie/ Victorias secret.

It appears one of the places in Indy shut down within the last few years , and the place that replaced it, you essentially have to order bras online after fitting which isn't attractive to me.

I'm willing to travel to adjacent states too! I'm in southern Indiana.

Seeking some advice/ prersonal experiences, maybe an explanation of the comment my RE made?

This morning of me ER 12 days after starting stims, I asked how I did w/ stims. RE told me that my estrogen didn't rise as expected or get as high as she would like and that she's "seen that a few times, it's not always a bad thing." She said she would "tweak some things" if we do another round

About me: 31 y/o, AMH 5, mild PCOS, mild endo, 6 losses prior to this, no male factor, first IVF cycle

Stim protocol:
- 100 follistim first 7 days, then 150. Menopur 75 but doubled to 150 on stim day 6.
- Prior to my day 11 labs and after my final ultrasound , I had my morning 2 vials of menopur, then was told to take 5 vials of menopur that evening before triggering (luperon and pregnyl hCG).

Total Estradiol:
Day 6 of stims was 705, from day 9-11 of stims, estradiol was 2200-2100

Last ultrasound, on day 10 of stims, I had three follicles 25-20, eight at 19-18, seven from 15-10 mm. Ostensibly, the 5 extra vials of menopur were to "catch up" some of the smaller ones.

My question: Can someone shed some light on what their goal estradiol numbers were (I've seen that 6000 is probably too high), has anyone else be told this and if so, what were your results like? Any insight on what was said?

Why do people always ask that and then give the list of people they know with successful IVF babies.... Or tell you about that friend of a friend who had babies after they gave up IVF?

It's just infuriating.

I inform them that I'm not excited, that the chances of success are low, and based on my history of 6 miscarriages, I'm really not hopeful. Sometimes if I feel particularly petty, I tell them it feels the opposite of exciting to gamble with $30k so that I can further delay retirement.

I've heard a lot of dumb stuff from people over the last 4 years, including a guy who literally argued with me that I definitely had a child last year. But the frequency of this question is grating on me, often from the same person on different dates.

Give me your rants for the day if you like!

- sincerely, just started stims, already have a migraine
