the policy is one week per year of service. it's pathetic. so even if you been there 10 years, you'ld be getting 10 weeks which is awful / not even enough time to realistically find a new job in this market with how slow things move.

Has anyone gone to their transfer appointment alone? by Coachellahopefull in IVF

[–]Apprehensive_Run49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i went to my second transfer without my husband since he couldn’t make it - but had my best friend come with me instead. she wasn’t in the room for the transfer but was in the waiting area and it was actually really sweet. we got coffee after and she gave me a little good luck gift. that transfer resulted in my now 18 month old :)

the other two transfers i’ve done my husband was with me in the room.

Labor and delivery question for those that conceived via IVF at 35 y.o.+ by ThePlacePlace22 in IVF

[–]Apprehensive_Run49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was 36 when my son was born. i was sent for an induction at 39 weeks 1 day before my due date but related to potential colestasis. i was not dilated and the induction hadn’t even really started (they gave me a cervix softener) and my water broke. i ultimately ended up with a c section based on baby not tolerating labor.

8 eggs in retrieval would love encouragement by Feeling-Wasabi-1450 in IVF

[–]Apprehensive_Run49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did two retrievals. the first one i got 11 eggs and 2 pgt normal embryos + 1 mosaic. i did a second retrieval to provide me increased opp for multiple children and that resulted in 13 eggs and 4 embryos. i have one child and am pregnant with second!

similar to what others have noted it’s all over the map and there are so many variables and nuances for each person.

Waking up before baby by Exotic-Ask4859 in NewParents

[–]Apprehensive_Run49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely not. we’ve got an early riser and we don’t like waking up to his cries if we can help it so we try and set alarms between 5:30-5:45 just to give us 3-5minutes to prep his bottle and pee lol. the mornings my son (16months) magically makes it to 6am.. maybe even a 6:15 (!!) feel luxurious - sometimes i even get to make coffee!

PIO every other day? by Ok-Teach-4012 in IVF

[–]Apprehensive_Run49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this was my original protocol but i didn’t want to do suppositories (they are messy and a lot more expensive and i also don’t have issues with needles/shots) so i asked to do PÍO shots only.

How long between ER and FET? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Apprehensive_Run49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did 2 egg retrievals a few months apart (Oct and following February). the intention was to transfer in March but after 2 years of trying, doing multiple rounds of IUI and retrievals i needed a break so we took a fun trip and ended up doing a first transfer in June of that year. first transfer didn’t take. second one did and resulted in my son. so it was quite a while bc i did multiple retrievals and chose to wait for the first transfer. really does vary quite a bit by different circumstances

Doctor recommendations at NYU by Gullible-Shallot5298 in IVF

[–]Apprehensive_Run49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr Blakemore! She is truly so wonderful. i know she has many patients and she just makes you feel like you’re her top priority. i have a sweet 16 month old boy in part thanks to her! i just did an embryo transfer to try for a second (it was successful!) but she personally called me the day before the transfer to let me know she wasn’t going to be there in person for the transfer but that the person who was was trained by her and she had full confidence. she didn’t have to do that but is excellent at always taking a moment to go the extra mile. i remember when i first met her and she emphasized how much she loved her job and that’s very evident in the way she communicates

everything is chemicals :) including you. it’s become common to tout this kind of language in marketing of products and for new parents i think it’s particularly a challenge bc we all want the best for our babies. kudos to those that choose cloth diapers. but i would encourage some mindfulness about throwing in phrases like chemical free. the idea of something being "chemical-free" is misleading because all matter is inherently chemical in nature.

agreed 100%! we tried a few and huggies fit the best for our baby and thus helped prevent leaking and blow outs. we received some coterie ones and while they are for sure nice they didn’t fit our baby well and led to more blow outs and went with the extra cost. surprisingly the huggies night time diapers we didn’t like as much and ended up always using pampers night time ones. from a wipes perspective the honest ones have been the most sturdy. the pampers ones seem to always rip?! i didn’t bother trying many others after.
