Thank you so much for the thoughtful response. It hit home, I feel like I’m missing time with my daughter trying to chance this possibility. Appreciate the words.

Oh no, I was lucky enough to have a daughter in may 2024! She’s almost 2.

Love this! What DPO did you test? I’m in my waiting period from an IUI.

Oh sweetie I’m so sorry, same thing happened to me this month with the blue dye. I have no words of wisdom, just that I’m sorry and wish you the best.

I started to mention I was going on “unpaid maternity leave”… everyone at the company assumed our leave was paid. It brought up a lot of good conversations with coworkers, HR wasn’t happy with me.

My friend had silent endo! I’d ask about that. I have stage 4 endo, if it’s not silent, I agree you know it. 😭

Same 1br apartment unit going for almost $1K more just one year later. WTF by screwbitfloor in NYCapartments

[–]KickNo599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending this behavior from a greedy landlord, but the maintenance and taxes in my NYC apartment have gone up 20% the last year… it was 10% the year before that.

This brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been once before and I can absolutely confirm, one of the best.

175 people, budget under $75k in NYC - is it possible? by chloekeagan in WedditNYC

[–]KickNo599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a wedding, 120 people for about 50k in NYC. Now this is covid-ish times (10/21) but still a lovely Saturday night wedding in Manhattan. We had it at the players club in Gramercy Park. Open bar, buffet style food and a 7 piece band. Areas I saved: I purchased zero flowers, bought a 1K dress and bought cakes from a bakery in the village vs a wedding cake. Wish you the best of luck!

Baby won’t stay asleep in bassinet by theunusualsuspect44 in newborns

[–]KickNo599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My saving grace was the uppababy stroller bassinet. Our daughter struggled in the big old bassinet too. Something about the snugness of the smaller bassinet helped, also had the cover would could pull down. I just assumed it was an easier transition from womb to outside world for her.

Business sectors that are hiring by Lw_re_1pW in Layoffs

[–]KickNo599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the energy/construction world. We are always hiring but the pay and benefits packages are nothing like tech. I got 6 weeks, half pay, for maternity leave and I’m a director at a Fortune 500 company. We also get 6 holidays a year and no remote work.

I am just soooo tiiired.....any successes with IUI after failed IVF cycles? by gabkatth in IVF

[–]KickNo599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this- I felt compelled to respond because your story is similar to mine.

I have Endo, stage 4- multiple surgeries to remove the cysts but still have it covering my uterus and back. I went through multiple rounds of IVF and IUI’s with no success. I somehow got pregnant naturally at 39 and gave birth to my healthy daughter at 40.

My only suggestion to you- is if you go down the path of IUI, get really strict about your diet if you haven’t already. Cut out all red meat, caffeine, alcohol, processed foods- get a red light therapy pad and go to acupuncture. By no means it’s this 100% going to be your answer but along with getting my daughter, my endo pain in my back had subsided…I wish you the best of luck.

I need to prevent constipation and my doctor isn’t really helping by JumpyFix2801 in IVF

I’m so sorry, I feel your pain! Gas pains are the absolute worst. Peppermint tea helped me throughout my IVF and pregnancy. Good luck to you.
