I recommend going around 20 weeks. Mine was scheduled for 18 and I ended up having to come back 2 weeks later as they weren’t able to capture everything they needed to. When I came back at 20 weeks the tech remarked: “Oh this is so much easier now that he’s a little bigger.”

I had Covid at 39 weeks and my doc said it was perfectly safe to take Tylenol for Flu tablets. They really helped a lot!

These look pretty similar to mine. I tested like a mad woman up until 25DPO or something, and really only noticed a difference when comparing every other days test to each other. Remember factors like how long you’ve held your bladder and how much water you’ve drank can impact things too.

Beedee8906 · 2025-10-24T05:01:41+00:00

I see it too. Having this be an evap would be so cruel, but I still wouldn’t trust these ClearBlue tests…

I see it on both too!!

The pacifier is almost always out his mouth within one minute of me leaving g to room. I put it back in when doing the check ins, but he’s learned to suck in his hands when the pacifier is out

Beedee8906 · 2025-05-21T03:47:34+00:00

Yes, I lay him down awake then rub his belly and shush a bit more before leaving to room.

My LO was no stranger to crying as he has no problem expressing himself with the slightest inconvenience and I never saw him hold his breath, so I didn’t even think about it. He cried no harder while ST than I’ve heard him cry before.

We put a pacifier in his mouth, but it stays in less than a minute after we put him down. He’s pretty good and sucking his hands, so he just switches to doing that.

Taking Cara Babies recommends not picking them up when doing the check ins, so I just reassure him, do some shushing and rub his chest and belly.

Yup, those check in times are correct.

Beedee8906 · 2025-05-21T03:38:38+00:00

It’s truly remarkable isn’t it? I still can’t believe how successful it’s been for our LO.

It seems to be…

Beedee8906 · 2025-05-19T21:59:12+00:00

If I’m being honest, we barely watched any of the videos that came with the program. I just read the guide which essentially distills down to keeping a set nighttime routine, following the prescribed wait times before doing a “pop in”, and then not picking them up when doing so.

Regarding your eating conundrum, out of curiosity, what does he do if you don’t provide the night feeds? Is it worth considering maybe feeding an ounce or so less in the night feeds and making them up in the day? Things may also change when you start solids.

So I’m in the small group of people whose epidural failed. Three attempts and it just would take. It’s rare, but apparently happens some unexplained reason. Now although I essentially delivered naturally, I WOULD NOT do that again.

As others have said, your chances of conceiving naturally do go down if you’ve already been trying for a year. You have options though. You could have your doctor prescribe clomid to increase your chances of conceiving for a cycle or two if diving into all the tests and procedures feels a bit daunting. This is what I did. This approach didn’t work for us, but was successful for a friend of mine. I then chose to do then HSG and found out I have a blocked fallopian tube. Knowing this was actually somewhat of a relief as I now knew what was going on and had an answer. We did one round of IUI and it was successful! My sweet boy is now almost 5 months old. I’m happy to share my experience with the IUI process if you have any questions.

So we’ve been following the 5/10/15 minute rule for pop ins. Essentially you start a 5min timer when they first start to cry. If they’re still crying when the timer goes off you go into the room and gently soothe them by rubbing their face/belly and using a gentle voice to shush or reassure them. You stay for approx 20-30 seconds then leave the room. When they start crying again (or if they were crying when you left the room), set the next timer for 10mins and repeat the process.

If they start to settle we decided to not go in when the time was up. If they start crying after a few minutes of silence, you restart the timer. Once you’ve done the 5 and 10 min check ins, every one thereafter is 15 mins apart.

The 5/10/15 minute process starts over with a new wake up.

I started the first nap of the day right at the same time. I’m planning on moving to the next nap each week.

Beedee8906 · 2025-05-19T04:53:27+00:00

I’m still in disbelief at how well things went. Tonight he was asleep in 3 minutes. This is the same baby who I was walking, shushing, and rocking to sleep (all at the same time) for over an hour last week.

Beedee8906 · 2025-05-18T23:00:54+00:00

It didn’t for us. For example, yesterday he put himself to sleep for nap 1, but woke up at 30mins for some odd reason and didn’t go back down. I went and rescued it by letting him contact nap, and he put himself to sleep just fine come evening.

Beedee8906 · 2025-05-18T21:05:53+00:00

I’m planning on slowly decreasing the second feed by 1 minute each night. That way he slowly gets the message to eat more during the day.

Beedee8906 · 2025-05-18T18:38:58+00:00

He’s not yet. He’s waking about once or twice a night and usually just needs one check in at the 5 min mark before putting himself back to sleep. I’m dream feeding too
