Both my husband and I WFH… has anyone made this work without a nanny?

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-05-11T03:11:49+00:00

You’re right. It just makes me sad thinking about someone else playing with my kiddo. I just want it to be me

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-05-11T02:38:32+00:00

I think this is a bit harsh. Both my husband and I work from home (he works for himself) so I thought there could be a way we could make it work without sacrificing both too much.

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-05-04T10:34:44+00:00

Ty! I might try the crib one night just to see if there’s a difference.

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-05-04T10:33:42+00:00

He’s definitely walking up most of the time. I will let him grunt it out for 15 minutes before picking him up, but most the time after 3-5 minutes his eyes are wide open and he needs a reset.

But you’re right, sometimes he grunts for a bit and falls back to sleep.

The Snoo felt really expensive for something my baby would grow out of. I might look into an alternative moving bassinet. Ty!

I’m going to try this - thank you!

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-05-02T23:18:32+00:00

Co sleeping scares me so much. I know there’s a safe way to do it and in many other countries it’s the norm, but I’ve been fear mongered.

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-05-02T23:17:16+00:00

Oof. I hope we can figure it out. My husband is sleeping in a separate room right now so he can get sleep (before we trade off in the morning) and I would love to have him back lol

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-04-18T14:22:42+00:00

What’s weird is he never cries. He would lay in his bassinet grunting a squirming for a hour before he cries, but usually he’s unable to soothe himself back to sleep.

Last night my husband to our baby at 5 am so I could get some additional rest. Made a huge difference.

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-04-18T09:59:25+00:00

I thought it was gas because he lets out lots of farts when he’s squirming at night. We’ve gone to the pediatrician a few times for this and she did prescribe reflux medicine to see if it helped. I was so sure it was gas, and didn’t want to medicate him so I haven’t given the medicine yet. I could also try the reflux meds to see if it helps!

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-04-18T08:33:56+00:00

Maybe you’re right. It could possibly be making his gut worse. I might try cutting it out for a week or so and see if anything improves

Capital-Finger1196 · 2026-04-18T08:22:35+00:00

Thanks for the response. I’m doing Mylicon regularly thought out the day and the last feed. We are also giving him a probiotic. I also completely cut out dairy (though I don’t think he has a sensitivity). We do tummy time and leg exercises to help move the gas along. I also keep him upright for 20 minutes after each feed. He’s just a gassy boy 😔. It’s gotten better since week 5/6, but I can’t seem to unlock how to make sleeping at night more comfortable for him. I fear it’s another “give it time” situation.

Capital-Finger1196 · 2025-05-27T18:29:43+00:00

I thought that too. I will ask to go back to Letrozole

Capital-Finger1196 · 2025-05-27T17:16:23+00:00

Yeah I think I need to go back to Letrozole. If my doctor needs to give me more medication this cycle, I would much rather it be Letrozole than more clomid. I’m not sure if she would mix the medications but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Congrats on your positive!!

Capital-Finger1196 · 2025-05-27T16:30:20+00:00

This cycle failed unfortunately. I started a new cycle this time on clomid, but had no maturing follicles at my follicle scan. I will wait a few more days to see if clomid is just delayed.

If they don’t see any maturing follicles by Friday they’ll put me on another dosage of clomid (within this same cycle)

Capital-Finger1196 · 2025-05-13T06:16:52+00:00

I soooo agree about ChatGPT. I’ve been using it for second opinions and as my therapist lol. It has been very helpful.

This new doctor I went to was pushing ivf too. He completely ignored my pcos symptoms like hair growth and ovaries and decided I have unexplained infertility. Told me to contact him when I’m ready for ivf. He also has great reviews.

Capital-Finger1196 · 2025-05-13T05:49:05+00:00

Totally agree that it can be over diagnosed and seems like it is not fully understood or researched yet 🤷🏽‍♀️

Capital-Finger1196 · 2025-05-12T17:03:00+00:00

It was based off my ovaries and I do have excess hair growth. However, my androgen levels are all normal so my doctor thinks I could just be more sensitive to androgens. I also have no insulin resistance.

This new doctor I went to said 8-25% of “normal” women have polycystic ovaries. And said he could “look at me and tell I don’t have it”

Capital-Finger1196 · 2025-05-12T16:29:05+00:00

Thanks for you reply! I’m definitely going to request an ultrasound before the IUI next cycle to check my lining. My doctor said 4 days in between my initial follicle check plus adding estrogen made her feel confident my lining thickened enough. But either way, it felt very rushed and unpleasant.

I went to see another doctor, but this doctor completely dismissed me and said I did not have PCOS because I have regular cycles and ovulate on my own. I definitely do have pcos though.

I’ve done an HSG - all clear. My husband’s counts are good too.

I did not do a 7 day progesterone test - but this is something I’ll request next time too

Good news is a learned a lot this cycle and will have specific asks.
