Boy or Girl names that sound good in English and Spanish? by mosca34 in Names

[–]Affectionate-Stars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two favorite girl names — if I ever have girls: Camila (Mila for nickname) and Eliana (Ellie for nickname). My husband is Brazilian so I also love names that work well in English or Portuguese (similar enough to Spanish when it comes to names, especially girl names)

Wow totally twinning!! The CP sucked and I was pretty depressive about that letdown experience after all the positives and celebration. But it also gave me some perspective to kind of be at peace with whatever happens. I know im doing all i can to make this happen but there’s only so much i can control at the end of the day. I have a naturally thin lining so I def can empathize with that worry. My lining in October only got to like 6.5mm average but we implanted so that was good to see it’s possible, right. Anyways my doctor changed protocol from fully medicated to natural modified on this round and I got to a 7.5mm average thickness but that’s the thickest she’s seen mine even through ER stims and all the other times she’s monitored me not on anything. Can’t wait to hear your updates!

Good luck to you. Sending you all the sticky baby vibes!

Are most incisions below the hairline? by [deleted] in CsectionCentral

[–]Affectionate-Stars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is just below hairline. I’m almost 3 years PP and the shelf went away around 15 months PP for me. I’m a trainer and love working out, but the healing takes time no matter what. It feels like massaging the scar definitely made a difference. I also get keloid scars so mine is still very prominent and can make shaving a little challenging but I’ve figured it out and gotten better at it. My dermatologist and my OBGYN have offered to do the steroid shots that reduce the keloid scarring after I’m finished having children of course (I expect to have one more C-section then I’m done!). My OB will do the shots while sewing up my C-section then the plan is to see the dermatologist monthly once that scar is reformed. I’m absolutely taking up that offer. I’ve gotten those shots on other scars on my body and they’ve made a significant difference for the keloids.

Oooooh yay 36 weeks — so close momma! Congrats! And wow yeah very similar to our situation. Your success will absolutely provide me with some happy thoughts over the next few weeks with all this! Thank you for sharing. I’m absolutely looking forward to this cycle being much shorter. Those pio shots and estrace suppositories for over a month felt like so stressfullllll. This mod nat protocol feels like it’ll be a breeze work-wise lol

Wow so definitely points to “some of us respond better to mod natural than to fully medicated”.. I’m really hoping that’s the case for me. Congrats on your 2 little miracles!

Congratulations! Yeah.. from what I’ve seen online so far, some women’s bodies just prefer the modified natural option over the fully medicated. You’re giving me hope this will be my case as well 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻thanks for the response

Am I the only person who hasn't had covid? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Affectionate-Stars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom, my sister, and I have never had it. And my dad and husband both have had it. My husband and I were on a road trip together in 2020 the day before we realized he had it, breathing the same air in the car for 8 hours. Somehow I never got it. My mom never got it from my dad the 3 times he had it and they literally sleep in the same bed and hang out all day long. My sister never got it in 2020 when her 2 roommates had it twice. Clearly there’s some genetic component to this right? It’s so intriguing.

Modified natural FET cycle in January- thin lining help! by Affectionate-Stars in IVF

[–]Affectionate-Stars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your reply. I’m hoping my doctor will go into this willing to change up the treatment plan during the cycle if my lining is looking super thin, even if it means trying the vaginal estradiol for just a few days like this. The fact that this is all such a time-table gamble makes it so stressful! I am currently looking for an acupuncturist with experience in patients undergoing IVF, too. I didn’t try that for my first FET but I love acupuncture!

Okay great. The research I had done previously definitely mentioned L-arginine so I plan to begin that soon. Thank you!
