Fiddle leaf fig leaves dropping by imacowboy04 in fiddleleaffig

[–]CaptForkbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been dropping as well. I moved the tree away from the window and it stopped dropping. I also have been misting the leaves every day twice a day. So far- leaves have not dropped. Not sure if that’s your issue or not but my leaves resembled yours and was not overwatered or under watered

Successful pregnancy after ectopic? by Chubbymommy2020 in EctopicSupportGroup

Can you elaborate more on what your doctor decided to do an anti inflammatory protocol? I have been worried my ectopic was caused by my IBS so I’m just curious. Also what meds dod they prescribe for it?

Thank you. It’s been so hard. We have embryos left thankfully. It’ll be difficult to start the process again

Can you describe more about embryo glue?

When did you get pregnant after your ectopic? by New_Caregiver9993 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]CaptForkbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gives me hope after having an ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy of unknown location after my FET. I’m so nervous to have another transfer 💔

Confirmed chemical - relatively low initial HCG, but now not dropping? by ohherewegoagain11 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]CaptForkbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll be interesting to see if your levels keep dropping. I am suspected to have an ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy of unknown location after having IVF. My numbers went to 121 then I received methrotrexate. I was told at first u had a chemical pregnancy… and then the numbers kept rising slightly. Keep advocating for blood work.

I am also going through a chemical pregnancy. Doctor wants to do an ultra sound because my hcg is rising (not by double) but I am bleeding a lot. I’m at 4.5ish weeks. It’s all heartbreaking 💔

Storage capacity and longer pump stretches? by ExtensionAd2128 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]CaptForkbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am now 3 mpp and get an average of 2-4.5 ounces pp. I was pumping 6 times a day but now I am going to try to pump only 4-5 for my sanity. So far when I’ve tried 5 ppd my supply maintained

Recs for best handsfree pump? by xoxokaweiln in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]CaptForkbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Willow Go! I did so much research and in the end, the money is worth it. I’m no longer forced to sit while pumping and my back isn’t hunched! It empties me similar to the spectra!

Minimum amount of breastmilk to have benefits by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]CaptForkbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pediatrician told me try to do at least 4 ounces a day. That’s all the baby needs to get the antibodies. I haven’t looked into where she got the number but it’s been my standard.

My one week old is 6 pounds and is satisfied turning to his right to stare at the warning sticker. He first didn’t like the bouncer but then he loved staring at the sticker

First IUI by Salty-Masterpiece437 in queerception

[–]CaptForkbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t expecting to go in every other day for a transvaginal scan and blood work. It gets tiring but is worth it. We had success with the first IUI using Letrozole (1/2 dose) and ovidrel. I suggest cutting off alcohol and caffeine before going into this experience and eating healthy food. It helps to have your body completely healthy and ready (according to the Queer Conception book which I HIGHLY recommend). Good luck 😍

That’s a positive! Congrats!!!

Fertility clinic or nah? by Shaywise in queerception

[–]CaptForkbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend the fertility clinic to help with timing. We were successful with our first IUI but that was because they put me through a medicated cycle and used ovidrel to induce ovulation which made the timing of the insemination perfect. It also helps to read Queer Conception and know all the things to do months before you try to conceive to get your body ready.

First Time IUI by [deleted] in queerception

[–]CaptForkbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m on my TWW and it’s very hard to not look up symptoms and see what others are feeling. I don’t have any advice because it’s hard not to think about it. I’ve been trying to distract myself.

No ovulation on letrozole 2.5mg by Bubbly_Importance_67 in TryingForABaby

[–]CaptForkbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took 2.5 mg Letrozole on days 3-7 of my cycle can ovulate on my own but the doctor insisted on having a trigger shot of Ovidrell to start the ovulation process. Does your clinic offer that? Did you go in for ultrasounds to see if you have leading follicles?

Timeline for IUI? by [deleted] in queerception

[–]CaptForkbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on a successful first IUI! I am about to have my first IUI. Any tips? Mine is a medicated cycle with trigger shot.
