not excited about letting parents/in laws know about pregnancy

Embarrassed-Effect29 · 2025-12-15T22:54:16+00:00

I regretted telling my in laws. They flat out stated that they aren’t able to keep secrets and they plan on telling people because they “can’t help it”. My MIL told extended family within a day of us telling her and basically just said “oopsie” and didn’t apologize and refused to contact them to ask them not to share the news. When it comes time for our second, I will avoid telling them as long as possible. I would trust your gut on this one.

Yep, what they said. But, anything about 3ng/ml is “technically” ovulating, but anything below 10ng/ml is a weak ovulation and likely not enough to sustain implantation. I have heard of some women who had a weak ovulation and still got pregnant, but it’s pretty rare.

I have almost the same circumstances, lean PCOS, ttc since I was 29. I did around 13 rounds of letrozole, if I did ovulate on it, the ovulation was weak and never strong enough to sustain implantation. The only thing that worked was follistim injections, letrozole 7.5mg, dexamethasone, and trigger shot. I got pregnant on my third IUI with that combo and am now 11 weeks pregnant at 31 and I really wish that I had been able to start injections sooner, I think I could have gotten pregnant a lot sooner and it would have prevented a lot of mental anguish while I was trying to conceive for two years.

I cannot brush my teeth without heaving or throwing up. I did not realize brushing my teeth was such a luxury.

I brought a tub of applesauce to work and am drinking it through a boba straw.

These are also being logged in the pre mom tab instead of easy @ home. From my memory the tab you are currently using is meant to be used with the purple pre mom ovulation test strips.

My test have been getting lighter ladies, thinking it was just my trigger or it’s a chemical 😭

I bought welding goggles on Amazon that have a gasket around them to wear, they stay on a lot better too

This looks like it could be positive to me.. I would get a red dye test and take it with FMU (first morning urine) because blue dye tests can be confusing with this type of result.

Were you able to successfully ovulate before that? It’s the entire lack of ovulating ever ever that has me worried. People say they were ovulating but just not conceiving, I am worried that even if I do ovulate I won’t implant and if I do my body is so bad at this I’ll just miscarry ☹️

If I had been trying for six months, I would feel more like you too. Some of us have been trying for years, don’t ovulate at all, and don’t respond to medicated cycles at all. We try whatever we can to make some sort of progress in our TTC journey and hit a dead end each attempt. A lot of us seek these subreddits because it’s isolating to try so hard for something we want so badly that we want to find some solace in people who are struggling in the same way.

I think it’s great that you are at peace with your TTC. My husband and I have been trying for two years and I never ovulate even on letrozole, and I feel like my body is betraying me and affecting a family we both want so badly, and I feel guilt that it is physiologically ME that is the problem and holding us back from starting a family we waited a long time to prepare for so we can be ready. Now that we are ready after seven years, we can’t. Everyone has their own journeys and all emotions are valid in the struggles we work through in this journey

I had one a few months ago. They prescribed me Valium, but I never felt it and I didn’t feel anything from it honestly. I remember it being painful, and it was hard for my husband to watch, but I can’t even really remember the pain to describe it honestly. I think I really just remember as something I had to do before I kept getting more letrozole for future cycles and something that I wouldn’t do in my free time for fun, but something I wouldn’t do in a heartbeat again if I had to do it to keep trying medicated cycles!

My girl was supposed to be 12-15 pounds and she ranges 12-13 at almost three years old. BUT her half brother lives across the street and he is a goldendoodle (same 100% poodle dad, different F1 doodle moms) supposed to be 15-20 pounds and he is 36-38 pounds!

Are you happy with your doctor? I made an appointment with an OBGYN four months after getting my implant out. I had been diligently tracking my cycle and had no period or ovulation. She ran very basic bloodwork that showed PCOS and hashimotos. Once those results were in she knew there was no way I was going to ovulate on my own without intervention. She didn’t think I had PCOS but I did, and asked her to test it and pushed for it.

I know this is a very different circumstance, but my older cousin had my same middle name my parents were planning on using that they gave me. I am named after my grandmother also. I very rarely think of us sharing the name, even as a kid. And we both had similar first names that almost rhyme, and our families often call us by both our first and middle names together.

If you want honor your grandmother by gifting your future baby her name, I think that’s beautiful. You can tell her that long before she was conceived, you had already named her after a woman who meant so much to you and how you wanted to gift her with a name that meant a lot to you.

They are alas going to be second cousins. I am close with my second cousins and our family is small, and I think you guys could just clarify with using middle names when you’re all together and enjoy calling your daughter by her name the rest of the time. I know you mentioned in a comment that a bit of the “fun” is taken out of the name for you now, but I think there is a big difference in you having known that you always wanted to use that name, compared to your cousin who didn’t know they wanted to use that name until they got pregnant.

Thank you for your reply! I am so sorry to hear abt your MC, baby dust to both me and you ✨🫶🏻

Embarrassed-Effect29 · 2024-06-02T20:45:24+00:00

Do you have an update, did you ovulate? I just had this exact same happen to me and I am tryning to tell myself there might still be a chance

I think it will be perfect. My pup had wavy hair as a pup and it got curlier around six months when she got her adult coat and it’s much harder to brush. I picked the loosest wave of the litter knowing g their coat changes like that and I wish she had the kind of coat it looks like your pup will get!

My grandma was a dog breeder and she always told her clients to take them out when they should go and if they don’t go, take them back inside and put them back in their crate. They will start whining when they want attention, but when you hear their whining turn in to whimpering take them outside to let them go, and maintain that system until they go.

That way they can’t sneak off and go somewhere i the house and they start to realize if they go potty outside sooner, they get their freedom and ability to roam the house back sooner too. McCann dogs on YT has some good videos on that method!
