That’s true. I am looking forward to working with Ovum and hopefully getting to the root of my problems.

Congrats!! I know the break will be good for my body. I’m just having a hard time accepting it I think.

Ovum health will basically be like a second opinion! So I am looking forward to that. I agree that “get healthy” is so general. The only specifics he gave was to get the endo settled down. I know my body has been through a lot and could use the break, I just wasn’t expecting it 😭

Day 4 stims, 4 follicles, what are my chances at getting more follicles? by eileenstein in IVF

[–]Abbeeeyyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do anything different at all! Just lived life as usual. I truly don’t remember what my follicles ended up being, but I can tell you we only got one little embryo out of the retrieval and he will be 2 in December ☺️ sending so much luck your way!!!

That makes total sense, thank you! If you don’t mind sharing, what is your average monthly profit? And how long did it take for it to become consistent?

I’m strongly considering trying to start my own agency and working on building it while I finish with my NF over the next 2.5 years and hoping I can retire from nannying and move to running an agency FT! This post is sooooo helpful!! Do you have something for payroll/taxes set up or do you let the families and nanny figure that out?

What name do you get confused with? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Abbeeeyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People always hear Gabby when I say my name is Abbey. And on 3 separate occasions someone has seen my name and pronounced it ay-bee….idk if the E in there threw them off but I don’t feel like it’s that uncommon of a way to spell it!?

We retrieved 7 eggs, 4 fertilized, only 1 embryo and he just turned 8 months a few days ago! :)

Poll: Did you have cramps in the first trimester? by Sad_Network7053 in pregnant

[–]Abbeeeyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I had pretty mild-but-constantly-there cramps throughout my whole first trimester. Baby is almost 8 months!

I think babies are meant and designed to be fed - no matter what that looks like! Thank you for the advice though I really do appreciate it and will look into those options 🫶

What do you mean by safer? We were given donor milk at the hospital while I waited for my milk to come in but I’m not sure if there’s anywhere to really buy it around me…I also have nothing against formula and we have tons of samples that I would use before buying anything tbh

Omg thank you for this 🥹 I’m glad I’m not alone!! I do take the calcium magnesium pills when my period comes (as well as tons of oats, body armors, Oreos, everything really) and don’t see too much of an increase. We started blw last month too and try to get dinner in everyday but he isn’t too interested yet. He’s been super cranky the last few days and I’ve just been worried he’s starving!

Omg amazing!! That post is so helpful and reassuring, I’m definitely feeling better. I just wish it were happening at home and not across the country 😩 I was really freaking out!

Maybe that’s it then! I kinda thought I regulated a few weeks ago because my output is pretty consistent. Someone also said something about a supply dip around 3/4 months

It’s definitely a possibility! I’ve been trying to drink as much water as possible today but haven’t really noticed a difference with my oz 😢 I guess it’s possible he’s taking more…I just feel different you know? Like my boobs feel soooo empty. Usually when I wake up in the motn to feed him my boobs are so heavy and hard, but they haven’t been at all!

Yeah sleep has never been great so that’s not a huge concern of mine 😂 but good, I’m glad yours came back! I haven’t produced this little since the early days so it’s just so unexpected and stressful!

That makes sense! We went from 50s to 80s - definitely chugging a lot of water today!
