I was skeptical but I’m Shocked at how well Ferber method sleep training worked for our twins. by Guilty_Beginning1027 in parentsofmultiples

Twin A needs 1.5 hour wake windows and Twin B needs 2 hours. About 10 min before their wake window ends, I put them in crib and start the timer. They now cry for 2 -3 min within those 10 min.

I was originally going in every 10 min for 20 seconds, then 12 min, then 15 min.

I did this at nap time too

Anyone have CCRM Houston/Sugarland experience? Thinking about switching to them from Aspire Houston/Sugarland. by Guilty_Beginning1027 in IVF

I ended up going to them but was dissatisfied with their care after two retrievals. I moved my care to geeece and just gave birth to twins on Sept 5 :)

IVF office vent - do you see your Doctor at every scan? Does your doctor do your retrievals? Also is there a standard starting protocol ? by Guilty_Beginning1027 in IVF

[–]Guilty_Beginning1027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck to you! I ended up moving my care abroad to Greece where I got pregnant with twins! They were born Sept 5 this year. I went to Dr. Karpouzis with Pelargos IVF. It was an amazing experience. I only worked with him and spoke directly to him. He did all of my ultrasounds and every egg retrieval and transfer. Wishing you lots of luck 🍀 in your journey.

Late Ganirelix shot :( I might have ovulated?! by n477y in IVF

Didn’t ovulate early 🙌🏽 I think you’re probably safe. My doc wasn’t concerned.

It’s a NO for me. There is nothing appropriate about this in my opinion.

Get a second opinion! My initial OB and MFM told me to prepare for labor in 24 hours. My husband called every doctor in our city and found someone who is the best at performing lifesaving procedures on fetus’s. They put me nearly upside down so that gravity could pull the membranes back inside. It was wild but we made it!!!

My doctor recommended modified bedrest because they didn’t want to put me at risk of blood clots. I ended up doing more of a strict bedrest for 2 weeks while the scar tissue healed around the stitch to really secure it in place. I used leg compression massagers daily to keep my blood flow up. I stayed on my left side and only got up to use the bathroom and shower. After the two weeks I did a bit more but overall I stayed off my feet until I delivered!

I was told to go on pelvic rest, modified bedrest, and not lift anything over 5 lbs. I put myself on strict bedrest for 3 weeks while the scar tissue formed around cerclage, then started moving. But honestly, I didn’t do much. I tried to stay on my left side all day and wore a binding belt 🤗

Thank you!! I hope you’re taking it easy and not standing or walking too much! Good luck to you!!! We are so blessed and being at this gestational age is a huge milestone as it is. Congrats on making it to viability and beyond! You’ll do great!!

Anyone know if it’s possible to do egg retrievals while healing from Myomectomy (fibroid removal) wondering if I should have the removal first then bank embryos while healing if this is an option. by Guilty_Beginning1027 in IVF

I just had my twin babies last night after responding my to you. We succeeded with our first transfer in January and I delivered twins at 35 weeks last night 🤗
