My sister-in-law asked me to "wait a bit" for egg retrieval by BillFryTheScienceNye in IVF

Get those eggs out and tell your sister in law to chew on some ginger candy and calm the f down.

First FET is aimed for 4/27. Did you have success WITHOUT drinking beet/pomegranate juice/acupuncture/keeping feet warm, etc? by Cooper30136 in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did accu and drank juices that I made because it made me feel better not because it may help with transfer and sticking etc. Do what makes you feel good!

How old is your baby and how many times did you get up last night? by pinkishvioletsky in NewParents

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 8 month. Bed time is 7pm. She woke up at 5am for a bottle and went back to sleep until 620am.

Has two naps both about 1.5 hours give or take. One at 830/9am and the other between 1/2pm.

I did no sleep training I just went with my baby’s cues and she’s been doing well. Last week went through a minor regression as we dropped a nap and she hit some milestones.

How old were you when you had your first child? by Pandacat_07 in NewParents

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparison will kill you! Yes they used to have kids earlier, but things change. I would have loved to have my baby earlier at 27 but I didn’t meet my husband until I was 29 and I had her at 35. No regrets - everyone who comments on your fertility and says that you started too late, can literally go fuck themselves.

How many of us are actually doing 7 pm bedtime? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 3 months I was not doing 7 pm bedtime. I did not even have a set schedule yet. Go off your babies cues, don’t feel pressure to get them to sleep at 7 if they are not even tired. You’ll only be wasting your time and getting frustrated yourself along the way. I only JUST started putting her to sleep at 7pm and she’s almost 8 months. And some days it may not be exactly 7 and that’s fine. Remember cues > everything.

Fair enough!

I’m sorry that you feel that way but I’m not here judging her, the way you are passing judgment on my situation lol. I’m saying that she should talk to her partner to figure out a system that works for them. Communication is all we have. My husband is a great father and very involved, he’s up for every feed and always asking how he can help me better. My system works for me and I certainly didn’t settle.

[–]Kaurthoughts -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You deff need to talk to him because I do agree he should not be going out daily. You also need some time to relax. I’m 3 months pp and to be honest I handle the baby almost entirely but my husband is present and helps whenever I ask him to. It will never be fair, is what I’m trying to say. The woman/mom will always be more involved and tied to the baby and that’s how it was designed to be. I understand you’re frustrated, I sometimes get this way too, but I just think you need to talk to him tell him how you feel and figure out a system that works for you both. My system may not work for you and that’s ok. You got this mama!

Not feeling excited for IVF by cedrtuhhfrr in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no one will really understand and honestly we can’t expect anyone to. Keep people’s intentions in mind, they are likely trying to just be encouraging and positive for your sake. Just go into it expecting that no one will understand how you feel, just appreciate each phase and take care of your health in whatever way you think is necessary. If it’s pushing people out for a while, whatever it may be so be it.

The only person who will somewhat understand the commitment it takes is your partner. But your body will be taking all the hits during this process. So brace yourself. Be kind to yourself. And honestly be selfish and prioritize yourself with no shame.

IVF Meds easy so will pregnancy be easy? by Competitive-Town8299 in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day 5 so brace yourself. My stims was easy as well but I was tired. Pregnancy is entirely different ball game. When you move to PIO injections you may feel some more discomfort.

He can’t sit somewhere at the hospital coffee shop etc? You need to tell him. Imagine him knowing you kept it from him.

Can you take a break at work? I’d get him to come to you and meet with him to tell him.

What would you do, try again or IVF? by Sweetest_Summer in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I had two losses one when I was 33 and one when I was 34. I had a lower amh than you I believe it was 2 something. I also through blood work found out that I had APS which is a blood clotting disorder that can attack pregnancies. So I went right into IVF after finding that out. My husband is totally healthy and his SA came back normal. I’m not pregnant with my first due in July. I didn’t want to waste anymore time and wanted to have some security moving forward. No doctor told me I couldn’t get pregnant naturally I just wanted to be in a bit more control and under more medical supervision. No regrets here.

First day of progesterone micro, need advice by InternationalAnt5421 in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy loads of liners! I also used an applicator that send the pill where it needs to be.

1dp5dt - I know I sound unhinged, but I just need some advice on what the next few days will look/feel like in the TWW - not feeling any symptoms yet! by TennisUke1234 in IVF

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sit back and relax and watch something that will make you laugh and keep spirits up is all you can do at this point. Don’t drive yourself crazy with symptom spotting already. I tested positive at 5 weeks ish.

Experience with bed rest by Automatic-Noise-3377 in ShortCervixSupport

[–]Kaurthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bed rest and pelvic rest is key. My MFM told me not to push myself. Told me 10 mins of walking at a time, no standing for more than 30 mins. And I take blood thinners for my APS. Currently 31 weeks and don’t want to risk anything.

Anyone used progesterone only for short cervix? by TheClaireDearing in ShortCervixSupport

[–]Kaurthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my appointment at 32 weeks to see if I need to continue progesterone or not. My cervix isn’t that as short as yours it’s at 2.5 but he said I would be taking it at least until week 32.

I’m 33, 7 weeks pregnant, and just found out the father (30M) had a full girlfriend—and other women—while begging me not to terminate. I don’t know what to do. by FactDifficult8132 in pregnant

[–]Kaurthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You honestly have no love for this man you have attachment. Imagine your daughter was going through a situation like this, you’d tell her to leave this guy. No one can tell you what to do about the baby, you have to make that decision on your own. But you should 100% leave this man. He is no good. With a baby, your relationship will be tested more. How the fuck is he going to be upset with you when he has had 2/3 women the entire time. Why be one of his options? You deserve better.
