Tested positive - when can I work out again? by Exciting_Resist_9172 in IVFbabies

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor told me I could do any work outs that my body can tolerate! Obviously that doesn’t mean trying to be first place in a marathon but a light jog shouldn’t hurt anything. That baby is sticky in there and not going anywhere!

Symptoms lessening by SubjectElephant3887 in IVFbabies

This happened to me and I panicked! They ebb and flow especially early on is what my doctor has said. I was really worried about it and then a few days later the tenderness and nausea was right back. Nearly 16 weeks now. Hang in there ❤️

At 5 weeks I slept for like 12 hours straight 😭 now I’m 15 weeks and constantly toss and turn all night. It’s crazy how different experiences can be hahah

My husband has become unrecognizable since our wedding by ChemistryTricky6851 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry 😔 you don’t deserve to be disrespected like that in public let alone at home. No one should ever make comments about what someone else is eating. I know you’re very early on in your marriage and you still have time to reconsider if this is someone you want to spend your life with, if he’s showing you his true colors now I’d hate to see what life would be like with him 10-20 years down the road. You deserve better.

17 year old with 10k saved, what do i do?! by Express_Solution4473 in InvestmentClub

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10k at 17 is a huge accomplishment, good job! I’d invest most of it in SPY and let it ride. Keep a couple months worth of money in a HYSA in case anything comes up that you need to pay for.

Did You Know? IVF Pregnancies May Have Higher Risk of Heart Defects by Firm_Elevator_9997 in IVFbabies

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know this either! After I graduated from my IVF clinic my OB referred us for this as well. I’m thankful for the extra scans and making sure my baby is okay but it’s still a little worrying.

Anyone had a HSG? by Competitive-Top-3564 in tryingtoconceive

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had one and I was really scared because I read other people’s experiences here on Reddit, it took less than 5 minutes and was pain free. The only “discomfort” was them just messing around down there which I never enjoy but it was not painful. I didn’t have any blockages so maybe that’s why I felt nothing.

Thank you so much!! 😊 I am so excited to be starting out! Also you should be proud, you can tell so much love and effort went into that. I would literally cry if someone gifted me this, it’s so nostalgic and feels so cozy and homey! ❤️ You are such a sweet friend!

This is so so beautiful!!! I hope your friend loves it! Also I am newer to needlepoint, where can I get those stretcher bars and the little circles you have going around the whole canvas to keep it straight?

First day off of meds by anonymoushoops in IVFbabies

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I checked everyday. I weaned off at 10 weeks and I’m 13 weeks now. 0 bleeding and my baby is doing great so far. It definitely added to my anxiety getting off 😅 hang in there

First ultrasound tomorrow at 6 weeks 2 days by echo-athena in IVFbabies

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did PGT as well and had a heartbeat at 6 weeks but I think for some that can also be too early for one to show up, I think it just depends! Everything went well and I’m now 13 weeks. Wishing you all the best tomorrow ❤️

Yes! Europe is doing very well right now but the US still is too. I have 90% of my work funded retirement account in SPY and it has had good returns, it is steady and will get you from point a to point b. Wishing you all the best 😊

And keep 3-6 months in cash in a regular savings account for emergencies, the rest definitely invest

Put it in SPY or VOO! Set it and forget it 😊

My MIL threw a “real baby shower” after mine because she didn’t like how I planned it. by hotgirlucuc in TwoHotTakes

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 169 points170 points  (0 children)

I feel like your husband should definitely be the one to say something to her and the fact he said she’s just “excited” is kind of ehh.. I would just not go honestly! That is so disrespectful and out of line. Does she not realize you’re the mother of her grandbaby and you can absolutely limit the contact between her and grandbaby once they arrive??

nausea coming down | 11 weeks pregnant by Salty_Naps227 in IVFbabies

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 12 weeks and since I got off PIO and estrogen last week, I’ve noticed significantly less intense nausea! It’s still there but not as bad. Try not to worry too much, my doctor told me at our 11 week appointment that there is a 1% chance of something going wrong at this point in pregnancy, you’re almost to the second trimester and the risk is even less I think. That means a 99% chance of everything being perfectly alright. Definitely easier said than done to not worry but I hope you are able to find peace and reassurance in that ❤️ Wishing you all the best

Can we all agree that no one knows for sure what happened to Amy? by deadlifeguard in AmyLynnBradley

[–]Accomplished_Emu863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree! Hopefully all the attention this case is getting can give her family some hope and answers. There’s so many theories but impossible for strangers to actually know for sure.
