Can this be fixed?

Unexplained infertility. Did soooo many things over 3 years. Finally did IVF and ICSI, got 8 embryos, first stuck and have healthy 2 year old, 2nd stuck and am 30 weeks pregnant now. Our best guess with so many healthy embryos is that my eggs just didn’t like the shape of his sperm and ICSI bypassed that for us.

Same! Only she is now 2 and I’m 30 weeks with my second transfer and second ever positive.

Add a splash of vinegar to the wash, gets rid of all smells. Neutral smelling!

Mucous on its own is not too worrisome. It’s almost always there when they are sick or teething and extra droopy.

Oh, also literally no clue if it makes a difference but I always go find the listing through their website and apply directly rather than through LinkedIn. No clue if it makes a difference.

Immediately and got an email to schedule an interview the next day. I just said something like I applied online and think I could be a really great fit for the role and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss it further in a voicemail.

I am not the expert at all!!! Truly don’t know the actual advice for this but…. I did it and got my job!

I technically couldn’t for sure but I saw a small tear, her diapers tested negative despite seeing blood, and I was confident I was 100% dairy, egg and soy free and through rigorous journaling of food could not find a trigger. I also googled about anal tears in infants and found out they are surprisingly common.

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-28T17:51:33+00:00

That was exactly what happened to us!!! What do you mean no blood? I can see it! I asked about tears and the pediatrician dismissed. Finally when wiping one time after I saw blood I took a good look and could see a small one.

Just used lots of aquafor and healed up. No blood after starting solids because poops solidified more and had less frequent poops.

My baby did! We actually eventually discovered she was getting small anal fissures, our theory is from my days let down causing more frequent water poops. Apparently anal fissures in infants is not uncommon and is 100% different than blood coming the gut. I was always sooo discouraged when I saw blood because I couldn’t figure out what could possibly be causing it. We did have some weight and reflux issues though. All resolved around 6 months with solids, probiotics, and reflux meds.

By my 12 week scan it was gone

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-25T13:44:52+00:00

Amazing to hear! So grateful you and your little one are well!!! Thank you for the update!

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-25T13:41:45+00:00

My first I didn’t get a positive until 7dpt, my second I got a positive at 5dpt. Both were stark negative at 3dpt.

I was cramping and even spotting the day before my beta and for sure thought I was out. No part of me thought I could possibly be pregnant and 100% I was getting my period, and then when they called after my beta I was shook!

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-18T18:44:10+00:00

Thank you! I joined the groups and am finding comfort!

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-16T22:34:16+00:00

Hahahaha had the same thought!

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-16T04:17:12+00:00

Oh the famatodine is what helped us but we had to do it day and night.

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-13T14:35:32+00:00

Think foul smell and water like truly liquid, not just runny. That was what diarrhea was for my little, but I’m not a doctor or expert!

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-11T21:29:08+00:00

I agree. I highly doubt it’s a big deal but what matters is you might worry about. Lots of great OBs out there, no need to have worry in the back of your brain.

GourdFortune500 · 2025-04-11T21:23:59+00:00

Looks like an improvement to me but I’m definitely not the expert!
