Getting sequencing data and insights

I recently had a stillbirth at 24 weeks, and one of the issues associated with the timing of the preterm birth is cervical insufficiency, which could be a genetic thing for some people (ie collagen deficiencies). It’s really hard to tell though because there’s many things associated with preterm birth. However, I am curious and want to dig further by looking into my genetics.

My friends have talked about how they uploaded their 23andMe data to chatGPT and have gotten some findings that resonate with them, which prompt them to take supplements or eat differently or pay attention to different things.

I’m hoping to learn something about my genetic health risks so that my next pregnancy can be the best it can be (of course, I will also see a MFM high risk doctor). I’m wondering what kind of sequencing I should do? I’m worried about doing WGS because it’s too much data for ChatGPT to process. Should I do something smaller? Is 23andMe even around still? What do you guys recommend?

I took the trigger shot last night with Leuprolide and HCG and I’ve been feeling nauseous since noon. A couple hours after eating my lunch, I threw it all up. I’m trying to keep my dinner down now and it’s not easy…

I read other posts of people saying they had similar symptoms with the trigger shot. I’ve done this 4 times before but I dont recall having these symptoms before… this cycle has been overall worse because I didn’t react to the medication as much and needed a higher dosage so maybe that’s why symptoms are just worse all around (feeling more tired than my other cycles).

How long does it take for you to recover from this? I’m going in for my retrieval tomorrow (friday) but I have in-person job interview Monday and Tuesday and I’m wondering if I should ask to move them before the week is over.
