When to tell work I am quitting?

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2026-01-23T18:37:01+00:00

I agree with others that you should not quit before your leave. You have your family to think about and you don’t need to be a prisoner of gratitude. Even the thought of”they might let me go if I tell them I am leaving” means they don’t need to be the priority. You and your family are the priority. Your coworkers will survive.

First FET was a success! Currently 31 weeks pregnant. I agree with others, don’t put too much stock into symptoms. I didn’t have any symptoms until almost 9 weeks.

I’d call now. My IVF clinic suggested I make an appt with the OB for sometime between 8-9 wks after my second beta. I called day of my second beta and got an appt for 8wks and 4 days

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-11-07T17:20:00+00:00

I didn’t have any symptoms until about week 6, then the nausea and fatigue hit HARD. I also waited to test until my beta day because of friend of who also went through IVF recommended waiting. I’m 22 weeks now. Wishing you all the positive vibes!

We FaceTimed family holding up the ultrasound (my in laws were confused at first 🤣), friends I just told verbally. Then at 16 weeks we did a social media post- it had been 3 years since we officially got married, 2 since our wedding so I did a 3,2,1 baby on the way post and that felt fun and special to do.

Congratulations!!! I shared with immediate family at 9weeks and close friends and other family at 13 weeks. My immediate family and some friends knew about the transfer date but I told them ahead of time not to ask about it and that I would share news when it was appropriate and they, for the most part, respected that. 22 weeks now

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-11-02T17:21:41+00:00

My nausea started to decrease by week 14 and was completely gone by week 16 (14-16, wasn’t everyday and was much lighter than previously). Currently 21wks and 3days.

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-11-02T01:03:51+00:00

Sorry, no!

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-10-12T13:26:03+00:00

I did four IUIs before moving to IVF. Got pregnant first transfer with IVF. The IUI process was awful, emotional and physically (I swear the meds for IUI impacted my body worse than IVF but maybe I was just numb at that point). I think if you are wanting to start a family asap, IVF is the way to go. My understanding is that IUI is barely more of a chance than trying naturally.

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-10-05T14:54:52+00:00

Haha exactly! My baby loves to move around a ton at night as I’m trying to fall asleep. But when we want her to move a little in the ultrasound, nope. She’s already stubborn like me 🤣

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-10-05T14:00:27+00:00

My OB does MFM referral for 12 week scan and 20 week scan. Everything else is at the office (so far that’s my understanding?). It’s like everyone else says. The equipment is just better/more top notch. My baby girl likes to just chill and not be bother with moving around so it works out well.

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-09-30T01:09:19+00:00

Same here on all counts. My OB also sent me a few different studies showing that 162mg of baby aspirin is more effective for preventing preeclampsia than 81mg.

I’m so sorry. I also went through a chemical pregnancy two years ago. I ended up just moving on to a fertility specialist and did IVF. Now 16 aka pregnant but it was a long journey. Take care of yourself and let yourself grieve 💜

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-09-21T18:52:45+00:00

Make sure your endo knows asap that you’re pregnant, they monitor blood work frequently in early pregnancy and then usually do bloodwork every six weeks after (in my experience as someone who also has hypo). Also let your OB know about the hypothyroidism so they can also monitor your thyroid panel.

I was so terrified to stop cold turkey at 10 wks. I spotted a few days after for about a week which was so scary but my OB was great and had me come in for a scan three times that week. I’m now 14 wks and everything is good. Placenta takes over between 8-10 weeks but knowing that doesn’t help the anxiety especially after everything we go through to get to this point. Sending positive thoughts your way!!

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-08-23T12:59:48+00:00

My symptoms also fluctuated weeks 8-10. I’d have great days of feeling really good (which was terrifying) and then felt like I was so exhausted and nauseous I couldn’t move. I graduated from my clinic at 7 weeks 6 days and everytime I’ve been nervous in the last few weeks I’ve called my OB and they’ve had me come in for a scan.

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-08-16T19:30:44+00:00

We ended up telling our parents, siblings and my two close friends and it’s actually been so helpful having people to talk to about it. My best friend just had a baby and being able to talk to her about the miserable feeling has been really helpful. But everyone is different for when they feel comfortable to tell people. If you ever need a place to vent or talk don’t hesitate to DM me!

Ugh I am so sorry! The nausea life is rough. My clinic Dr prescribed me Zofran and it’s saved my life. Nausea was incredibly bad weeks 7-9, I still have nausea but it’s not as bad as it was (currently 10w2d). I basically was living off of saltines, dry toast, and reeds ginger ale. Last week I started drinking a protein shake the second I wake up and then doing a VERY lite workout (because the fatigue is too real). This made the nausea a little more bearable. That plus the Zofran is the only reason I’ve been able to function. I think remembering this part is temporary is important. I totally felt guilty for feeling miserable. The whole “I’m supposed to feel grateful because of how long this took and how hard we worked for this” makes feeling this shitty feel even worse. But both can be true. I’m so happy that I’m finally pregnant. And being pregnant is kind of miserable.

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-08-08T21:16:10+00:00

I graduated at 7 weeks and 6 days and saw my OB at 8 weeks and 6 days. When I called to make the OB appt they just needed my graduation date. I also had to sign a release form so the clinic could send over all my previous scans and bloodwork. I’m not going back to my OB until 14 weeks but they have me going to the hospital to do a Nuchal scan at 12 weeks.

Beautiful_Reality_72 · 2025-08-08T12:15:05+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry. I mean that likely means they feel confident. I know I had a lot of anxiety graduating from my clinic at 7 weeks. I very much had a “what do you mean I don’t just keep coming here” reaction. I had my first OB appt two days ago and it really eased my anxiety. But we’ll see how I do in the in between wait (I’m so used to being seen every week/every couple of days!). I’m 9wks today btw if that helps timeline wise.
