Re: Weired questions

  • I had a belly button ring.  I made the decision to not put it back in after one of my surgeries.  My husband said the ring needed to go since we were trying to get pregnant.  I do not regret taking it out, but I did not expect to still be trying to get pregnant 3 years later.

  • My acupuncturist said it leaks energy.  I will do whatever it takes at this point.  I took it out 3 years ago, it never went back in.
    TTC since 2007; Unexplained; 8PG: 4CP, 2EP, 2MC w/HB at 8-9 weeks
    Getting ready for DIVF #1 - Transfer 12/16! 
  • I took mine out for 3 years and was still able to put it back in again even after all that time. I got it done in 1999, took it out in 2007, and put it back in 2010. I recently had to take it out again 2 weeks ago for a laproscopy and I'm just planning on waiting for my site to heal and put it back. I think everyone is just different on it. I have 15 piercings (including dermal implants) so to me I will do what it takes to keep them.
  • I don't have a belly button ring, but I've seen the plastic or rubber ones that you can use instead? (I know they make ones specifically for pregnancy.) Would those be OK for ER, since they're not metal? (If you want to keep it in of course.)

    ***EVERYONE WELCOME***
    TTC #2 with assistance since 03/11
    Me: 33, Autoimmune (Hashimotos and FMS/CFS)
    Treated with Synthroid, acupuncture, TCM and supplements
    DH: 33, MFI (very low on all counts, high antibodies, hemochromatosis)
    Many treatments tried, none successful

    IVF/ICSI #1 05/14 - EPP/Antagonist, Gonal-F and Luveris, 18R, 14M, 13F - SET of 1BC, all arrested on day 5 - C/P
    Genetic testing = normal, DNA Frag = excellent
    IVF #2 03/15 - Long protocol with Suprefact, Gonal-F, and possibly Luveris, adding in PICSI
     
  • I took mine out for ER and put it back in when I got home. Honestly, I should just leave it out. Like PP have said, it's not like it's going to be on display anytime soon (if ever) after the weight gain from IF and my newly acquired stretch marks.

  • My acupuncturist "made" me take mine out, too @vibeee

    I'm actually glad I did, because I can't imagine keeping it in while all bloated and uncomfortable from the stims. I didn't like anything touching my stomach and my pants usually hit me at belly button when sitting. I've had mine in and out for years (replaced it with a small gold round earring so it was easier to remove) and the hole has never closed, so at some point in the future I'll probably put it back in.
