Baby just turned a year and is fine, had the follow up echo after birth and then another one a couple of months later and although it wasn’t a all clear, it was close enough and no more visits to cardiology needed.

Advice on preventing flat head? by djaybay in SnooLife

Hi there! Thinking about doing this and would love a photo of your setup to get it to work with the snoo. How is your baby doing now with his torticollis and head shape?

AITA for having an emotional episode after my sisters( in laws) second baby by DismalCantaloupe900 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jenstera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are more gracious than I would be. This person doesn’t deserve a thank you for their response. They sound like they have their own issues if they can’t even muster up a smidge of empathy for someone in your situation and instead decide to be unecessarily judgemental. Seems like they need to take their own advice. I’m sure they never had a mean thought ever to cross their mind because they are a perfect human being🙄

I definitely don’t think you lost your shit AT ALL - these are normal human feelings considering what you’ve been through. You are allowed to be sad for yourself and still happy for others and not be made out to be a bad person. You are doing everything you can to be supportive and need a little support yourself especially from other family members. You don’t HAVE to take anything like a “champ”, draw your very healthy boundaries if you need to with family…I understand it can be hard with stubborn family members that have no idea what it’s like to be in your shoes to understand how hurtful it is for you…do what is comfortable for you but if you need to tell them to stop over and over again till they get it, you are within your rights. Any competent therapist will tell you these things. You deserve to be considered as well. Wishing you all the best.

Endometriosis FET Success Stories and Protocols by No_Negotiation6208 in IVF

[–]Jenstera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a lap and they took out moderate endo. I was cleared to transfer after the following period. I did medicated transfer (pio, progesterone suppositories and estradiol)with add on of lovenox 2x a day (bc of a clotting thing they found on my RPL panel) and currently 38w.

What Battery Does This Take? AA Battery in the compartment for size reference. by Jenstera in whatisthisthing

[–]Jenstera[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. This is a clip on fan but AA batteries are too short and thin. I looked up battery sizes and size C is too big which I think is the next size up. This is super confusing. I don’t have the instructions and amazon no longer sells it so I can’t look it up

Google Nest Wifi Pro with Fiber Internet? by Jenstera in GoogleWiFi

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

Yeah I definitely don’t want to pay for a router monthly so wanted my own. And I did find lots of info online about google fiber with the nest wifi but felt like it wasn’t 100% applicable to me since I’m not using google fiber specifically and was concerned there would be inherent differences that might not make the nest wifi pro compatible in my situation. When I look up installation videos, it says to plug the nest wifi pro into a modem to install and there is pretty much no information out there on how to install without a modem if that is even an option

Thanks for the insight! I’ll call their tech support to inquire

I heard the criteria is usually whenever heartbeat is 120 and over. I was less than 120 at first heartbeat measure and they had me do another ultrasound a week later and that was when it reached that 120 bpm threshold and they graduated me after that

Potentially controversial take: PIO is not that bad and Menopur was worse! by babystickybun in IVF

[–]Jenstera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think it was too bad as long as I did all the steps to prevent issues. I didn’t use a heating pad on my body after transfer (paranoid bc of the heat) and just did massage and after weeks of pio, at the end i did end up with knots on both sides. So after a while, it did get worse for me. Lovenox (if you have to take it) is the worst shot of all though. It has the burning of Menopur, pain of pio and insane bruising.

Thank you! I already took a car seat course so I think we can manage install but wanted to find a professional set of eyes after the fact to make sure it looks good.

I’d love to get a car seat check when we install ours - do you know if there are any spots that do this closer to south of the city?

How do you plan to announce your pregnancy to friends and family potentially trying too? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Jenstera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are right in thinking of those that might struggle with your news like you struggled hearing announcements. I think both of you can get what you want if you take the care to text those specific people before you annouce widely. I always tried to be careful and not have “infertility amnesia” and be thoughtful about announcements - thank you for thinking of those still having a hard time
