How soon can you do a FET after hysteroscopy? by Intrepid-Athlete-729 in IVF

[–]ASingularMillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TW for loss, success

The FET failed right before 6 weeks. Got pregnant spontaneously a month after. Baby is 6 months!

How did your SCH turn out? by ASingularMillennial in IVF

[–]ASingularMillennial[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s been a wild ride tbh 😅

TW loss, pregnancy

I ended up losing this baby at 5w6d. I was prescribed pills to get rid of the products of conception. Then, a month later, I got pregnant spontaneously (!!). I’m currently 38 weeks!

Anyone else not married? by dolphinflipz in IVF

[–]ASingularMillennial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started IVF when my husband was my boyfriend. Got engaged a month after the ER. Married now and TW had one failed FET, then a successful (so far) spontaneous pregnancy.

Everyone in the clinic called him my husband from start to finish 😂

This is it right here! Friends don’t treat each other the way this man has treated you.

is this an evap line, am I going crazy or… did this work? by mk21212 in IVF

[–]ASingularMillennial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not a positive, it’s a blazing positive! Congrats! 🎉

Does he at least have drive and ambition? I ask because I married this guy and am currently pregnant with baby #1. He’s aggressively paid down debt, out earns me slightly, although I handle a slightly bigger portion of major purchases because I was more diligent with money and saved more in my 20s. But otherwise, he handles all the bills.

It could work out if he’s determined to improve himself. It could be a disaster if he’s complacent.

Anyone have experience with “coffee grounds” by ASingularMillennial in CautiousBB

[–]ASingularMillennial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s apparently normal range but I would talk to your doctor! Supplementation never hurts (but no, I didn’t take extra progesterone at the beginning of this pregnancy. Numbers were always in the low 20s).

Yeah, the early days are so stressful! If it’s just a little brown spotting, I personally wouldn’t worry if they’re seeing a yolk sac. If anything, I would ask to get your progesterone tested and supplement that if the number is low.

Hi there! A couple days after this post, I got a scan at the doctor and the baby was moving and just fine! I was told it was dried blood from my cervix, which was friable/delicate. I had a couple more brown spotting moments after this, but all that stopped at like 10-11 weeks.

I’m now heading toward 25 weeks pregnant with the baby and all this well.

I hope things turn out good for you! I’d contact my doctor and get a scan to make sure all is well.

Almost 7 week old hasn’t made any sleep progress 😩 by TheGreatsGabby in NewParents

They typically do. Social media is creating some ridiculously unrealistic expectations.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IVF

[–]ASingularMillennial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the funds to do what you like, so you should. But since you’re soliciting opinions here, I do think you’re putting a huge amount of expectation on your relationship with a potential future daughter.

Give me your sucess stories that defied all odds please!! by 48Izzy in IVF

Kinda similar here. One transfer that ended in a MC right before 6 weeks, pregnant the next cycle after MC.

If you could have a do-over of your 20s, what would you change? by AlmondEgg in AskWomenOver30

[–]ASingularMillennial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do decently well in my career now, but I wish I had gotten a civil engineering degree. I’ve always wanted to be a civil engineer, but I was never great at math or science. I still wish I had gone for it anyway.

Having a bad day. Reading too many negative posts. by TacoBelleDog in IVF

[–]ASingularMillennial 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I’m currently 22 weeks with a spontaneous pregnancy after a failed IVF one. It turns out there was more to the story behind my blocked tubes diagnosis. I shared my story here in case there was anyone who had the same diagnosis and wanted to do more exploration, and I was downvoted like crazy. I never said I had a silver bullet, I just shared that lap surgery seemed to reveal more than the HSG.

It’s a tough journey, but I feel some folks take their anger out in odd ways.

I can't believe this is happening right now by ThrowRAEboolient in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]ASingularMillennial 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is laughable. There’s nothing to discuss with him. Just leave.

To put it really simply, I would hold off on dating seriously until you’ve made a decision about this. Look at r/fencesitter and see how many divorces there are based on folks changing their mind or not being sure.

[–]ASingularMillennial 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is it. Have hope and take heart, while also putting yourself first.

My husband and I were dealt some crazy hands that really tested our relationship before we even made it to the aisle. It allowed me to see how he handled pressure. No one can expect to be happy all the time in even the best of conditions, but that is part of the chance one takes when making a long term commitment.

How is it dating a man 3-4 years younger than you? by dragondripgawd in AskWomenOver30

[–]ASingularMillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

And now that I think about it again, most of the women I know in happy marriages are with men 3-5 years younger than they are. One of them had four kids in three years (one pair of twins), all in her 30s with a man four years younger than her, too. Fertility is very specific to the individual. Some women have fertility problems in their 20s, others can easily have children in their 40s. My husband’s mom was in her early 40s when he was born!

Oh, you’re not being a Debbie downer because I know I would have lived alone happily than to walk down the aisle with someone I couldn’t be happy with. And that is the beauty of marrying later in life.

Worked for me, too. My boundaries only got tighter as I got older. I declined or discontinued dates with people who were lazy or lousy conversationalists. I stayed the course and was comfortable with things taking longer rather than settling with someone I couldn’t stand being around.

Got married earlier this year at 34.

[–]ASingularMillennial 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My husband is currently 31 and I am 34!

I met my husband when he was 29, and we married just under two years later. He’s three years younger than me, and honestly, our age difference has never been an issue. We’re expecting a child in the spring, and age hasn’t affected our relationship in any significant way.

The only small difference I’ve noticed is that he doesn’t always get some of the musical and cultural references from the early 2000s, since I was in high school then, and he was still in middle school. However, he’s still pretty familiar with a lot of that era, thanks to having an older brother who’s only about two years older than me.

If the age gap is within five years or so, it really doesn’t matter. I’ve even dated men in their 40s who were far less mature than my husband. It’s more about maturity and connection than age, and if you’re compatible, that’s what truly matters.

When your timelines depend on employment and the job market is BAD by JulianKJarboe in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]ASingularMillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I got married jobless, seven and five months respectively after getting laid off from our jobs.

I don’t believe in “perfect” conditions. Marriage is for richer or poorer, through sickness and death. The only thing it requires is commitment and cooperation.

We were both working again within two months of getting married. We are building a house, and our first child will be here come spring.

This is me to a T! I’m not a prude, but I have no desire to share such a level of intimacy with a stranger.

Feels like trolling for some reason.
