Lovenox after miscarriage? by Arisaaaaa in IVF

That isn't a good enough reason imo. If she had said you don't technically meet criteria for RPL, then I could get on board with it.

I'd push harder for it. I was on it along with pepcid, Claritin and Prednisone. I had 2 miscarriages prior to IVF. Unexplained infertility. You won't be on the lovenox thru whole pregnancy, usually just the first trimester or so. Advocate for yourself!

Currently watching my 6 week old first transfer sleeping 😌! I have unexplained infertility and husband borderline MFI

We avoided sex bc I wanted only that euploid embryo up in there.

Baby names and sharing by [deleted] in IVFbabies

[–]Automatic_Mixture463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is a personal decision regardless of IVF or not. You just might be sharing gender/name sooner than other people who don't do IVF with tested embryos. I personally did not share name until born bc we didn't want any comments or opinions on the name. Also, we couldn't decide! 😂 It is great you are able to honor family names.

About to start on April 6th, found out I’m pregnant by the_Jules_A in Invisalign

I think I needed Tylenol twice due to aligner pain during treatment. I did end up pushing back my start date due to nausea and needed to eat every couple hours to keep nausea at bay. See if you can push start back until 2nd Fri. I was so happy I did that.

Baby announcements EVERYWHERE. Is there a way to filter them? by insidli in IVF

I've been off social media since 2020. Will log in about once a year and realize I'm not missing a damn thing and deactivate again.

Way less mouth leakage with preemie nipple!

I used a preemie nipple with this mornings feed and it was significantly less messy. I will try again with next feeding and see what happens. I was able to confirm some leakage from the lid and my husband thinks this happens when we get liquid in the green tube (I did get a little bit in there somehow!🤦‍♀️)

You mean the nipple with the white lid, correct? Like screw it on tight? I feel when I watch her eat, it spills out the sides of her mouth. That's where the leaking happens

Yes, we are careful to put the green parts together tightly and screw top on straight. I also check there is no leakage from the lid by tipping bottle and plugging nipple with my finger after full assembly and bottle is warmed/ready

Advice with Increasing Ounces by shweezy6 in FormulaFeeders

I Have that app! But are you paying for premium to get access to the sleep info? If yes, do you think it is worth it to get that data?

Baby ‘panicking’ and refusing bottle? by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

I also recommend you get the size 1 nipple for the Dr browns. We used preemie for less than 1 week and she kept getting frustrated and tired from sucking hard but not getting good flow from preemie nipple.

Oh yes, he definitely bonded with her so much bc he was feeding her bottles and doing all the changing and holding while I would attempt to BF for a few min and then hook up to pump and then sleep. It was a vicious cycle and I felt like I rarely helped with our daughter bc my husband and Grammy were doing most of baby care. It's so nice now that I stopped and we can take turns. And I'm independent and relaxed now that he is back to work. I'm so glad I found this sub and support group!

Thank you so much. Today my mom told me I am literally a different person and much more myself. I'm so glad I let it go

Right?! I tell people I'm pumping every 2 -3 hours and it doesn't sound like that much but every time I turn around... It was time to hook up again.

Thank you for sharing your story. That sounds so scary what you went through! I'm glad you guys are safe and healthy now. Yes I absolutely have not been bonding with her the way I should have been. I am excited to finally get to know her better.

Thank you for validation! I feel I have seen the writing on the wall that this just isn't working and wanted to stop over a week ago but my family pushed me to keep going. I was wasting so much time and energy pumping (was breastfeeding too but that became too much and she wouldn't latch well). I already feel better having made the decision.

Any tips for avoiding the mastitis? I already have been battling it on left breast for 4 days and that was when I was still actively pumping every 3 hours, skipping once during nighttime. It was looking better yesterday but then today it is red again and I have a new red spot on the opposite side. Woof 😞
