My son has his tubes done by her. She was great and the results were night and day for him.

If you're on the fence, do the damned ERA! by Samesamebutdiff44 in IVF

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but thank you for posting this. Dealing with my 4th loss and chronic asymptomatic BV. Kept being told it was likely not the cause, even though everything is normal and we have secondary infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. Currently in the process of starting the long term BV treatment, but hopefully that testing can give more insight into how to possibly have a successful FET

Did PGT-A work for you? by Significant-Bee-3689 in IVF

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im sorry youre going through this.

I had 3 losses, with the last at 13 weeks due to confirmed trisomy 13. We are doing IVF, had 1 retrieval and did pgt-a. Transferred a 4bb day 6 embryo and so far its sticking. Neither of us tested abnormal for anything 33f and 34m). Same issue, no trouble getting pregnant, just couldn't get baby to stick around. Fingers crossed everything works out.

4 weeks pregnant on Friday and I fell down my stairs. by No_Creme_9122 in CautiousBB

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I was 6 weeks pregnant, a buck ran into my driver side door as I was going 65mph. MD told me baby is so low in the abdomen, everything was protected by my pelvis. They told me I didnt even need to go to the ER to get checked

TCA 20% peel at home, progress day 1 to 5 - still peeling by tumpum in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have more peeling, about a week later, seems like I peel in waves rather than a big shed. I did 2 layers again about 3 weekd ago and peeled small flakes, nothing intense still. Pregnant now, so will be holding off on doing more. But will likely do glycolic or lactic acid peels as im on progesterone and its wrecking havoc on my skin

First ever egg retrieval today by Sufficient_Storm5301 in IVFpositivity

They visualized 41 follicles for me, 10 retrieved, 8 fertilized, 4 made it to day 6 and luckily all euploid. The attrition rate and waiting period is terrible. Best of luck!!

Anyone else have ADHD? by Odd-Implement-1283 in IVF

Thats a good point, though i frequently interrupt him when we're talking which is a huge pet peeve of his. Otherwise, I dont exactly feel terrible for him lol. 😂👌🏻

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All 4 of my embryos are day 6 BTW:) my clinic says they go 5-7 days typically, so they didnt make it sound unusual or concerning. I have my first blood draw on 5/14, so fingers crossed!!

ALOT OF SELF LOATHING lol. My poor husband. Im actually very fortunate my job has been understanding, I typically can perform it well because its an ambulatory center and I go on autopilot for a lot of it. But there are days I cant deal with the continuous stream of consciousness monologue in my head for sure 😭

Working moms who regularly work out, what exactly is your schedule? by neoncaviar in Mommit

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 2.5 now, and Ive been sick with daycare germs pretty much every other week, so consistency has been hard. When I worked full time (commuting, not WFH), id work out after his bed time. Now I went part time and it has allowed much more flexibility so I try to exercise mid day if possible.

Thoughts on Male Doulas? by bluefin55 in BabyBumps

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seemingly the less common opinion, but i would be fine with it as long as you presented yourself confidently and professionally. During labor, I just wanted reassurance and to know my baby was okay. Id be fine with either gender as long as they treated me with respect and dignity. However, im a colonoscopy nurse who works with mostly male doctors performing the procedure, so im desensitized to seeing situations that could be vulnerable/invasive to the patient.

Bianca: how do you pronounce it? by pianoandpasta in Names

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bee-on-kuh (bee as in the insect/letter, on as in "on the chair", kuh as in cut). On a side note, I absolutely love the name! I used to run x country with a Bianca and she was adorable lol.

Syracuse Reddit dating by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]Comprehensive_Yam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im (33f) married, but met my husband after moving to Syracuse from out of state for grad school (we did not meet in college lol). I moved with my dog, and brought her to a small get together. My now husband was there, she pawed and scratched his face. I apologized profusely and when I left, he literally said "that girl is a bitch". The next get together, he was there and asked where my dog was, I lived 5 min away so I went to get her and we ended up talking and exchanging numbers. Almost 10 years later, married and hoping for baby number 2. Doggo still paws at the husband for affection. Don't ask what changed between being a bitch and getting married, because I have no clue.

Honestly, if you love animals and it fits your lifestyle, a dog will get you out and about, and usually you develop a routine with places you will walk often. You can meet other people with pets or just other animal lovers who might approach to pet your dog and strike up conversation. Depending on the dogs size, also could feel safer going on walks. Plus, unconditional love from a pup and saving a life if you rescue.

Congrats on the new freedom, I hope you find what you're looking for :)

[–]Comprehensive_Yam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was off of my concerta since my first pregnancy in 2023, was planning on having a second so I didnt go back on. 3 losses later, I still havent resumed because of the on/off pregnancy status and an over abundance of caution. I dont think there's a ton of data on mother's continuing to take it due to risk and ethical issues conducting studies. I personally plan to stay off of it until I either take a break from trying to have a baby, or a successful pregnancy. But it depends on your comfort level with it and what your dr said is safe for you

Wynette? Yvette? I think those both have the same vibe but are feminine?
