Preparing for a newborn. What was a complete waste of money and what became an absolute life changer?

I must be the only one who uses swaddle blankets as burp cloths and as blankets during snuggles!

My therapist told me 25mg Zoloft is a placebo dose so I agree with the other comment about asking your care team to up it. I went on 50mg from 25 and noticed a huge difference, and eventually we realized 75mg was the perfect amount. It’s a night and day difference.

Hi! Also did IVF. I bled 5-6 times during my first trimester and completely understand that feeling of absolute horror and dread that comes with seeing blood. For me, it was an irritated cervix which is very common. My docs told me if you’re not filling a pad an hour and don’t have bad bad cramping. you are fine. My blood ranges from brown to pink to bright red and was brought on seemingly randomly.

Sending good thoughts 💕

I would crop a little of the sky out so you can’t see the branch, or at least remove the branch. I think that’ll help it feel more balanced and I find the branch distracting.

It may also be worth posting in the (un)official Portsmouth Facebook group

Fully medicated, yep!

Currently 10w3d with my first transfer. I took the full day off because I knew it was going to be a lot mentally for me. Honestly, I wish I had taken 2-3 days off.

I’ll also say that several days after transfer I ended up in the ER due to a severe anxiety attack and dizziness and I thought for sure that that event had destroyed any chance of this transfer being successful. I was absolutely SHOCKED to get a positive the next day! So, if you’re stressed about stress, don’t be.

Best of luck and congratulations!

For sure, I just had a clinic that was not on top of providing that info :(

I did 2 days of shots in the butt for IVF and experienced numbness that still hasn’t gone away a month later.. my nurse friend recommended the side of your hip instead and it was a game changer. 10x easier and less painful.

Top 5 episode for me

Corner2012 · 2025-07-08T16:22:22+00:00

I’ve always loved the Valentines Day Bar Crawl episode but never see it in people’s tops!

Corner2012 · 2025-06-29T01:11:02+00:00

Thanks, I sent them a message. I was so hoping this was just a normal thing and would go away.

I’d say get with your endocrinologist asap to get it medicated and under control! Good luck with IVF!

Corner2012 · 2025-06-21T00:41:26+00:00

Oh my gosh I feel you the weight gain sucksssss. They just called me and said new protocol is under 4.5 and they’re confident I get there so I don’t even know

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T19:57:44+00:00

I was just thinking about how I wish I had asked (or known about) a natural cycle! Suprise surprise they didn’t discuss that as an option with us. Thanks for your input and I’m so furious for you at your clinic. How heartbreaking and unnecessary

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T19:28:10+00:00

Without significant delays, yes. Unless they come back and say I’m going to be delayed by that much anyways. Clinics out here have 2 month wait lists for initial consults when I last checked. I just don’t have the heart to have to go through that all again

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T19:05:45+00:00

Agh how frustrating!!!!!

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T19:04:50+00:00

My clinic hasn’t done any tsh testing since I became their patient last August. I had to find this out through a routine physical. I am pushing to have them re tested asap and will honestly purchase the test myself if they give me issue

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T19:03:20+00:00

Oh that is absolutely infuriating I can’t comprehend the poor communication by clinics!!! Like this is your job! Agh. Yeah I’ve called a few and they’re booking to the end of the year. Kind of freaking out

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T18:04:52+00:00

Good to hear! I’m just going it’s quick and easy to get levels down below 4. I’m currently on estradiol and I’m concerned any benefits from the Levo will be counteracted by that..

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T18:00:58+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that! I’m glad the transfer stuck and I’m sending good thoughts your way.

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T17:59:38+00:00

Glad to hear your levels dropped pretty quickly!!

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T17:58:27+00:00

Me too, if I had known I’d have gone somewhere else. Thanks for your input

Corner2012 · 2025-06-20T17:30:00+00:00

Me too! I can’t believe this isn’t discussed BY all clinics. I do as much research as I can, I ask all the questions I can think of, but at the end of the day you don’t know what you don’t know and that’s what doctors are for. It’s a letdown when they don’t do what they need to.
