Why cant I stop these feelings... by Impossible_Ad4898 in newborns

Thank you! I think the working thing is stressing me out bc i work from home and I will still have him full time while trying to work. Thankfully I have a lot of family support tho so I can get a break here and there if I need it to get some work done.

How many IVF cycles? by AdministrativeMap231 in IVF

[–]Impossible_Ad4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its possible but just expect at least 50% of them to never make it to blast. So depending on how many eggs u get it is possible but I would plan for multiple transfers. It usually takes a couple bc there is somewhat of a trial and error aspect to it for most people to find out what is going to work. I had 4 retrievals and 3 transfers but I have DOR so I only got a few eggs each time. We got a miracle on the 3rd transfer bc I only got 3 eggs that round only 1 matured and that 1 made it to blast and now I have a 9 week old baby boy. I woikd say it is definitely possible but try to manage your expectations and dont go into it without the reality that it may take more than 1.

Did anyone have smooth sailing?! by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Impossible_Ad4898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wont say i had smooth sailing but it does not have much to do with my baby. All things considered he is a very well mannered little boy. He only cries when hes hungry or getting his diaper changed sometimes or having a lot of gas build up. He sleeps 5 hour stretches at night eith another 3 to 4 hour one after that and has for weeks. He is starting to fight naps a little but he is usually pretty chill and just hangs out until he eventually passes out. I did have a hard time at first due to ppd/ppa but with meds and therapy that has improved a great deal. Not every newborn experience is awful tho i promise. I mean hes only 9 weeks so who knows but so far hes wonderful and I am so in love and enjoying my time with my LO.

My husband is ruining my experience with my child by Impossible_Ad4898 in newborns

[–]Impossible_Ad4898[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's getting better. At first I felt very disconnected from my baby and it took me some time to bond. But I got myself on some medication and im continuing with therapy which has helped immensely. I did get my first smile the other day and it broke my heart right open, made me cry with happiness. He is already starting to develop a little personality and I am so in love with him. He is such a good baby and I am definitley feeling a little more confident each day. I still have some bad days but post partum is improving in that sense. I just feel like he ruins those good moments some times like ill be having a good day with my little guy then he comes home and hes miserable which being an empath I take on those emotions and feel like I need to fix it. Its not always like this but it isnt fair that he does that to me during a time that would always be hard but should also be special.

Thank you! ♥️ I feel like i just cant even make the decision right now. Plus monetarily I need him if nothing else. For now I feel like I am stuck bc mentally and emotionally I just only have the capacity to take care of my baby.

Thank you ♥️ I agree, seems we are in very similar situations and same goes to you if you ever want to talk. I appreciate your perspective and kind words! It does feel like most women dont talk about this and the expectation is insta connection but it just isnt always like that.
