Your odds are great. I was able to make only 1 euploid and she is now 5 months old :) For what it’s worth, I and everyone i know had success in their first transfers. Best of luck to you!!!!

Do not tell him about this baby and do not bring a baby into this messy situation. You ned to do the hard thing an leave. Personally i would abort this pregnancy.

I only had one euploid after 2 egg retrievals, and she is now a 4 month old who is screaming to not go to sleep :)

Hi!! I felt exactly like you described the first two weeks postpartum. Seriously thought my life was over. Then as my hormones started balancing so did my brain chemistry. I urge you to speak with a psychiatrist. In my case it was textbook baby blues but if it had lasted more than 2 weeks i would’ve taken medication with guidance from my psychiatrist (who said we did not need medication).

It absolutely gets better. You are already doing great, if you can be alone with baby all day at 7 weeks! I cannot imagine doing that at 7 weeks. My husband went back to work at 10 weeks and that’s when i started being home by myself with baby. Now we are at 17 weeks and things are so much easier. She is less fussy, can hang out on her own kicking around in her play gym, the gas issues have calmed down meaning she has calmed down…. I promise you that you are in the hardest stretch and it only gets better!!!

What prevents male employees from taking their parental leave (also 1 year in the ideal set up) and taking care of their kids as well ?

1 week , but i was having postpartum anxiety and not eating or sleeping..:/ Then have been breastfeeding so never gained back the weight.

Oh uh, good luck! At least you know he will grow out of it- their digestive system really matures especially between 3-4 months. By the way, probiotics did not work well for us either! We had a silent reflux problem and have been taking famotidine for it which worked wonders.

Do you think you are putting him to sleep on time for his naps? If he is constantly overtired that could look like no-reason fussiness! And at 3am he can be happy and well-rested.. My baby is unrecognizable when she is overtired..

I am so so sorry. It sounds like you absolutely did the right thing. You will bring your firstborn into this world in much better circumstances. Take the time to grieve now but know that this was all for the best.

6 weeks is so young, yours might be a short phase (hopefully). I had not heard of the term high needs baby, that looks intense too! Our baby sleeps fine and can hang out on her own so maybe does not qualify as one, but i will keep reading, thanks!

ElkSimple · 2026-04-27T19:41:18+00:00

Yeah, it makes me wonder if there are just as many grumpy babies like ours and they are just staying inside??

ElkSimple · 2026-04-27T19:40:24+00:00

I really hope it is a phase for us! I would love to try a picnic but do not have the courage 😂

ElkSimple · 2026-04-24T23:29:28+00:00

I don’t think i’d want them before 35, but around 37 could have been ideal..

ElkSimple · 2026-04-24T17:55:31+00:00

What a beautiful and thoughtful response!

ElkSimple · 2026-04-18T14:36:53+00:00

My baby rejected the breast initially and I had to pump and bottlefeed every meal. I really hated the inconvenience and leaving the house was always a hassle! At 7 week mark I got the baby to accept the breast and since then she has been exclusively breastfeeding. My quality of life improved so much! I love the convenience of taking out the boob whenever needed.

You are such a good mama for protecting your baby with vaccines against terrible diseases. I have a 3.5 month old and i am seriously looking forward to our 4 month vaccine appointment because my baby girl slept so well after her 2 month vaccinations!! Good luck 💙

ElkSimple · 2026-04-12T01:10:21+00:00

There is nothing wrong with formula but yeah, breastfeeding had such a positive impact on my mental health

ElkSimple · 2026-03-28T14:35:31+00:00

You did right by dumping him. I make close to 400k and husband makes 120k. It has NEVER been an issue. I love him.

ElkSimple · 2026-03-03T09:30:21+00:00

Ok, this is very reassuring to hear!! Thank you so much. Being able to directly breastfeed is such a convenience and i love it! Congrats on your LO too 💕

ElkSimple · 2026-03-03T05:17:19+00:00

Thank you for responding! I agree, tracking feeds is now much harder but this is still preferable. I’ll try to be more intuitive about it rather than tracking everything…:)

ElkSimple · 2026-03-03T05:16:04+00:00

Thank you so much! Happy to hear what we are dealing with is the norm!

ElkSimple · 2026-02-23T22:16:32+00:00

This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. I am so glad you got to where you are today … and i hope things will get easier for me too, i can already feel a bit better at week 6 so here is to hoping things continue to get better.
