I'm embarrassed TMI

Embarrassing and TMI question...

When you have monitoring every 1 to 3 days, how do you keep up with grooming? I have bad reactions to shaving daily, so the options are razor burn or trimmed/natural.

What do you do?

    I trim.  I'm always freshly showered right before I go, so I know that whatever the case, they see a whole lot worse.  Stick out tongue

    I used to be the same way. Always making sure everything was all good downstairs as far as grooming. But when you drop your pants 4 times a week for the same nurse or even your RE you seem to care less over time. Now as long as I have washed my butt and showered its all good. This is just me but at this point I could really care less. Your tootoot is one of probably 25 they'll look at just that say. Again this is just my perspective.

    Don't be embarrassed, it's something we all think about.  I always showered but I will admit by the end of stimming, I wore knee socks because I had no desire to shave my legs anymore.  FYI, we are all shaved now.  Stimming just kicked the snot out of me :)  Good luck to you!!!!!

    I don't even think about it. I've been in with sasquach legs before! lol They have a job to do and most likely aren't thinking about that. People always think that people are thinking about them, but really we are all thinking about ourselves. ;)

    I am so glad you asked this! : was wondering the same thing!
    | Married since 2008 | DH and I: Both 30 | Me: Endometriosis and Carrier of an X-Linked Dominant Genetic Disorder | DH: Low Morph | Planning IVF with PGD and PGS in 2013 | Freeze-All IVF #1: March 2013 ER 3/26. 29R, 12M, 11F. 4 5AA frozen blasts. Freeze-All IVF#2: May 2013 ER 5/15. 31R, 21M, 20F. 6 5AA frozen blasts. Our PGD probe was completed in late June (total of 20 weeks to develop). PGD and PGS Results came on 6/19: 3 healthy embryos (normal chromosomes and unaffected by my family's genetic disorder). FET #1: July 2013 Natural Cycle - Cancelled due to insufficient lining (only got to 7.5mm). FET #1.2: August 2013 - Medicated Cycle with Lupron & Estrogen Patches to build up lining. Single embryo transfer was 8/23. Beta #1: 240! Beta #2: 578! U/S on 9/19 at 6w4d: We saw the heart beating at 131bpm. Second U/S on 10/4 at 8w5d: We saw the heart beating at 178bpm. EDD 5/11/2014

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't care anymore lol! But I'm in the same boat as OP, I shave and if I shaved every other day I would be a hot mess. Most  of the time my nurse and RE talk about my crazy socks, I figure it takes the attention away from my goods lol.

    This made me LOL!

    I should've gone with a response like this.  I said that I trim, which I do, but I do it less frequently now than I did at the beginning of this process.  Lol
