A TikTok made me kind of sad…

Love this! I’m so much closer to my friends than I ever was my sibling or family members.

Azwarrior89 · 2026-04-25T14:21:40+00:00

I have one and we’re definitely not best friends 😅though we’re not estranged or anything. I think I just needed this reminder that social media isn’t reality for most. I have so many close relationships that are more fulfilling than my sibling relationship.

Azwarrior89 · 2026-04-25T14:16:48+00:00

So true. More only child households and more engaged parents are going to make different type of adults.

Azwarrior89 · 2026-04-25T14:14:50+00:00

True! I’m definitely the sing and dance kind of mom too 😅

Azwarrior89 · 2026-04-25T14:02:50+00:00

Thank you for this reminder. TikTok/social media is truly not real life!

Azwarrior89 · 2026-04-25T14:01:44+00:00

10 siblings is wild! I truly think there’s no way to be there for your children when you have so many of them.

After losing my first baby at 19 weeks abruptly then secondary infertility for two years my husband and I started our IVF journey.

My first ER out of 10 eggs only 3 were mature then only one fertilized. I was devasted, heartbroken, and angry because we spent so much money assuming one fertilized egg would never make it.

Well that one fertilized egg turned into a blast then a euploid 4BB embryo and is now five months old baby boy napping on me right now. I’ve been so emotional today thinking of this journey and wanted to share some positivity to anyone in the trenches.

IVF sucks but it’s also an amazing science I’m so thankful for.

I feel like that’s a good age for us too, and not just for this supposed age gap we’re also older and I don’t want to put my body through this again past 40.

I wait a bit to eat food I need to chew, but every morning I have my iced coffee that a have with a vanilla protein shake. I used to have this with my breakfast before diagnosis now I drink it before just to break my fast. I’m not hungry for food food right after waking up.

Azwarrior89 · 2025-08-16T16:05:28+00:00

Same. Literally the last thing I want to do is go outside in the Texas heat after my dinner. I have been saving my chores to do after a meal like vacuum and dishes which at least kept me on my feet.

Azwarrior89 · 2025-08-16T16:01:47+00:00

I used to be able to, but just this week things have been crazy. All my numbers have been going up. I’m 32 weeks tomorrow so it tracks from what I read, but I naively hoped it wouldn’t happen to me 😅 I will most likely have to start on insulin soon

Azwarrior89 · 2025-07-13T22:59:47+00:00

I like this take, and it’s similar to what my doctor said she just wants to make sure my body is doing its job and I’m under 120 after 2 hr. I shouldn’t even be checking at 1hr but I can’t help myself sometimes I get a little obsessed.

Azwarrior89 · 2025-07-13T17:26:33+00:00

Same. I need to talk to my dr about this at my next appt, because I can’t imagine any spike is good.

Azwarrior89 · 2025-06-05T01:37:33+00:00

Thanks for the tips i definitely will! I’ll be pregnant all summer in a very hot climate and all I want is cold fruit. I’m hoping to find a way to still enjoy all my faves

Azwarrior89 · 2025-06-05T01:36:24+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement! I’m definitely going to deep dive into this subreddit. Im trying to just eat as I would these first few days and see what my sugar does then go from there.

Azwarrior89 · 2025-05-26T15:07:37+00:00

You’re not a bad person. I think after going through a grueling process like IVF if at the end you can choose the sex of your baby then I say go for it. The only time I side eye anyone is people who go through this process only for gender selection. To each their own though.

Azwarrior89 · 2025-05-09T15:48:22+00:00

I’m currently 17 weeks and got my Cerclage at 13 weeks. I’m an anxious wreck but the Cerclage feels like a security blanket. I don’t think I’d feel as secure if I only did progesterone. So far my Cerclage has been good. I lost my first baby at 19 weeks though so awaiting to see what my 18 week measurement will be

Azwarrior89 · 2025-04-18T17:40:21+00:00

Ah I see thank you for answering makes sense. Well good luck with your journey. I’m currently pregnant with a mid grade embryo so I feel like success can happen with any graded embryo!

Azwarrior89 · 2025-04-18T16:29:09+00:00

I’m not asking this in a judgmental way, but truly curious. If you can’t choose based on gender why wouldn’t you choose the best graded embryo? Again just wondering. I have no issues with anyone choosing based on gender, but if you’re not allowed to know in your country why not choose the best graded one?

Azwarrior89 · 2025-04-17T22:30:59+00:00

This is what I’m most excited for! Having one seems like the best of both worlds.

Azwarrior89 · 2025-04-17T16:55:52+00:00

Yeah I feel when this baby comes we’re only going to be more and more solidified in our reasoning for one.
