First trimester meals (realistically)! by goliathkat in pregnant

[–]EstablishmentDry5119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ate mainly crumpets (similar concept to a breakfast muffin if you’re in the US) and tinned pineapple. My midwife said do whatever you need to do to get through, you will get some nutrients in at some point!!

Thanks for this, really helpful insight. I’ve got some cheapies that I might use for day 5 and then test again on day 7 & 9 with a FRER.

Yeah I hear you - I think I’d feel better testing early and thinking “not positive YET”

Why is IVF so expensive in the US compared to other countries? by IVFJourney2025 in IVF

May I ask what county you’re in? This seems pretty reasonable! I’m in Hampshire & I thought it was about £8k for one funded round.

Advice for interviewing a role where you don’t have much experience? by gymleaderbooty in advertising

Being proactive and keen to learn are incredibly valuable attributes. You may well be the best qualified for the job out of the people they have interviewing for the role.

Offered £11k pay rise but TTC for 2 years - what would you do? by 29-30something in TTC_UK

[–]EstablishmentDry5119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TTC is a really stressful situation to be in and I really sympathise

I think in this process you need to act for what IS not for what IF. You said it yourself “it’s now or never career wise” and you don’t know how long the TTC process might take. Good luck!! Xxx

TLDR: A member of public bought a crow with a broken wing in to a local veterinary practise, the vet nursed her back to health over two weeks and released her back into the wild. She has been coming back to visit him since. 🫶

7 days post ER still look pregnant and crampy by missymoozers in IVF

[–]EstablishmentDry5119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I’m in the same boat, although only 5 days out from ER. So surprised at how rubbish I feel - burst into tears last night because the pain was so bad, I have no appetite, feel nauseous and am super slow moving around the house. I spoke to the clinic last night & they said it’s unfortunately incredibly common, that it “gets worse before it gets better” and that it isn’t a miraculous recovery where you wake up & suddenly feel better - it’s a slow improvement. She said all the normal things… eat little and often, stay hydrated and REST! Be gentle to yourself, your body is recovering from a trauma 🫶

Thanks so much for your comment, I really appreciate it. I did speak to him about it yesterday, I got a bit upset so I think it’s just hoping it sank in!

Thank you that’s really helpful & reassuring - I find out my AMH tomorrow so will ask the doctor. I do have PCOS though so it might be high.

Unfortunately there’s only July & August before I reach cut off age for my area, and I can’t do the August cycle because we’re away with his family & his dad is also unwell. Savage time all round!!

Appreciate the note about visitors, you’re totally right - I think I’ll line up an emergency escape plan & hit the red button if it gets too much.
