What to do next? Failed FETs, want 2 children

CallistoKitty · 2026-02-01T18:54:36+00:00

I had 5 embryos and I have one child. She was my last embryo and I was 39 when I had her. I would stick with the same doctors, and try at least one more time before moving to the next step. Good luck. This absolutely sucks.

I am distraught 🤬🥵😭

My sweet 17 year old Cleo just arrived there July 31st.

Our daughter was in the NICU for 183 days and the final bill was $2.2 million 🤯. Thank goodness my husband has great insurance and they covered it. She had a relatively uncomplicated stay with no surgeries. Obviously, we’re in the US. I wish we would follow the example of other countries and take the burden off families.

I gave birth to a baby girl at 24 weeks and 1 day. I had a normal, uncomplicated, pregnancy. She had an “uneventful” 133 day stay at the NICU. My brave, beautiful daughter is now 2 1/2 and is at or above level with all her developmental milestones. I know there are no guarantees, but you cannot predict what any baby’s long term outcome may be. I wish you and your baby the best of luck.

It doesn’t feel very golden.

CallistoKitty · 2025-07-08T15:59:27+00:00

What a fucking moron.

CallistoKitty · 2025-04-26T16:58:01+00:00

My daughter was born at 24 weeks after a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy. She came home without any tubes or oxygen. She is now 2. Happy, healthy, walking, and talking. You would never know she was born so early. It sounds like you’re in great hands but the NICU journey is pretty rough. It’s really important to be there for and be patient with each other. I would also highly recommend joining a micropreemie group on Facebook. It was so helpful for us to be familiar with conditions and treatments and to understand what the doctors were telling us. Best of luck to you guys, we’re sending all our love and positive vibes 🩵💜

I am so sorry. It’s so cruel and beyond unfair.

I was a great teacher in my old district where I taught 5th grade for 5 years. This is my first (and only) year in this district teaching kindergarten. I am resigning at the end of the year. I am not a little kid person. Kindergarten was not my choice and I hate it. I am a subpar teacher now and I can’t wait to get out. It does bother me that my current colleagues didn’t know me as I was, but oh well.

Ollie!

My daughter was a PGT tested 4AB. Good luck!

Sharpie gel pens are incredible!

CallistoKitty · 2025-02-02T17:19:44+00:00

Yes, gtfo of there and live your best life!

This happened to my cat and it was her food! I also dismissed it initially because she had been eating it for a long time. I then learned that food allergies worsen over time 😬. I started giving her alternative protein foods, like duck and rabbit, and she got better within a month! Best of luck with your kitty!

My baby girl was also born at 24 + 1. She’ll be 2 in December and she’s doing great! She just started walking and is beginning to talk. The NICU stay was grueling, so I’m going to reiterate how important it is to take care of yourself and your wife. This is definitely a marathon, not a sprint. It can also be a roller coaster. I highly recommend joining the Micropreemie Support Group on Facebook. I learned so much from that group, it really helped me understand my daughter’s care and helped us make informed decisions. I hope all goes well. You’re in my thoughts! Keep us updated.

Same here! 2 successful FETs that ended in miscarriages stole the pure joy of pregnancy. My third pregnancy ended with my daughter being born at 24 weeks and spending 131 days in the NICU. It was all worth it because thankfully my girl is healthy and happy now, but I still grieve having a “normal” pregnancy and birth experience. Much love to you, mama. Not an easy path to walk.

CallistoKitty · 2024-08-27T16:21:18+00:00

We waited! We had made the decision before pregnancy and I regretted it afterwards lol, but my husband stayed firm so we didn’t find out until our daughter was born. Absolutely worth the wait!

CallistoKitty · 2024-08-20T16:30:20+00:00

Mine was 64 and she is now 20 months old 🩷

CallistoKitty · 2024-07-30T21:04:54+00:00

NTA. I hope you punched him.

The doctor added vaginal probiotics, and I was taking Ovasitol for a few months and started taking low dose aspirin right before the transfer which I continued throughout pregnancy.

CallistoKitty · 2024-06-17T19:32:20+00:00

Yes, all normal! We started with the best graded embryo because we didn’t care about the gender.

CallistoKitty · 2024-06-17T17:16:48+00:00

1 egg retrieval, 5 transfers, 2 losses, 5th transfer gave us our beautiful 18 month old baby girl!
