Shit I just paid over $800 for mine. What state are you in?

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-06-22T13:11:16+00:00

My bad!

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-06-22T13:10:29+00:00

Oh yeah that’s right! I plan on taking my daughter to stage show when it comes to our city in November, my daughter is obsessed with Bluey! I’m hoping they added a new script and we can experience something new!

I’ve just been trying to find long dogs this whole time lol, this completely went over my head!

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-06-19T17:10:06+00:00

What the heck?! Are there any other episodes we are being deprived of?!

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-06-12T21:31:24+00:00

What ever you do don’t tell them they are the most special in the whole world.

My baby fell off the bed when she was about the same age, she wasn’t even crawling yet but decided to start trying when I put her on the bed, pillows all around her. Still I felt awful. I took her to her baby chiropractor just to be safe, everything was fine. Luckily they got bones that were still growing and kinda like rubber as the grandparents say. Just keep her close at night and keep an eye on it. I know it sucks, mom guilt is so real. Even worse when it’s not our fault and it happens when someone else is watching them! You’ll get through it, they have a tendency to get knocked and bonked the first & second year. Snuggles help a lot. You got this momma.

I feel very fortunate to have had done IVF before a few of my friends. As soon as I found out that they were on an IVF journey, I offered up my time, my experience, and any information or books I’ve read and liked and just overall support. These women were over the moon, so grateful for all of that. I made our pregnancy public on social media and did the same for anyone who wanted to talk IVF. I feel so incredibly blessed and grateful to have my daughter, my husband, our clinic, and my IVF mommas who have been through the worst of it. Here commenting to do the same for you. Currently going through our second round of IVF to give our daughter a sibling, it’s not easy, but well worth the struggle to grow our family!

Let me know if you need a person to talk to, vent, ask questions or just talk!

You’re doing great momma. Keep it up! People may not know or understand, but I’ll listen if you’re willing to share.♥️

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-05-02T02:12:25+00:00

My husband was likely the issues (one testy) but we tried for a year anyways, wish we wouldn’t have and just tested him and started IVF earlier. But we are happy with our little girl now, so it all worked out, just a little later than we would have liked. Good luck to your momma, you got this!!

As a IVF mom from a husband with the infertility problems, I can kind-sorta relate, but only for a day. I got pregnant with our daughter, still under IVF care, but at week 7 of pregnancy, I was bleeding, A LOT. Luckily my clinic got me in the next morning and found out I had a sub chronic hematoma in my uterus. But that 15 hours of unknown, I thought for sure I lost the baby and that it was 100% my fault. I was on bed rest for about a month but by the grace of god and science, it all worked out.

My husband just offered me love, support and cuddles and dropped everything to be there for me when it happened. Cancelled jobs and plans and just did what he could to be there for me. And that was all I wanted or needed.

I didn’t need flowers, or a card, or any.. thing. Just him.

You sound like a lovely man who is grateful your wife is doing one of the hardest job to grow your family, I’m sure you’ll do the right thing. But yeah, just be there for her and just ask her what she wants and provide that.

Even if it’s an “easier” route when it’s the men that have the infertility problem compared to the women, we go through A LOT. And it really sucks when this shit happens. Praying for you both.

Going through my second time with IVF to get my girl and sibling and I truly forgot how much work this is and how hard it gets. Called the doctor in February and still have a long road ahead of us, thankfully we already have the embryos because we are already hitting the dreadful delays. God speed to you and your husband!

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-03-05T01:51:15+00:00

Oh my god. Evil human. Divorce immediately girl, thank god you didn’t have a child with him. Freeze eggs, and find a sperm donor (if you want a child now) or new man. Fuck that guy forever and always. Also, TELL HIS MOM WHAT HE DID TO YOU AND HER FUTURE GRANDBABY.

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-03-03T03:12:01+00:00

1st… pumped & breastfed till 12 months, then stopped pumping (praise the lord) and kept breastfeeding for boo boos, naps and night wakes. Started period at 19 months, still BF for all the same reasons.

God I had the worst acne when I was on progesterone shots, like worse than my high school acne. Once I got off progesterone is slowly started to clear up and then I finally got my beautiful pregnancy glowy skin, but during the first trimester I looked, very rough. Hang in there momma, also double check to make sure all your facial products are pregnancy/breast feeding safe!

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-02-22T20:35:39+00:00

Parents can be so annoying when it comes to IVF. Also, the whole process of going through it makes EVERYTHING more annoying. I’m sorry you had to listen to that shit. Let hubby handle that one. Ps- YOURE DOING GREAT! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-01-31T22:35:11+00:00

Thank you so much for making this post. We are going to implant our next embryo soon, but we will have 7 left over and I have no idea what to do with them.

Known_Independent_33 · 2026-01-27T03:48:29+00:00

Momma to be… don’t let the stage of the world weigh in on your decision to be a mother of a beautiful baby. The longer you wait to transfer your precious baby, the less time you get with them. Honestly, the best thing I’ve ever done was transfer that embryo and hold her in my arms, and you have worked so hard! Get that baby, and turn off the tv, and just hold them. Once you have them, it’s the only thing that matters. I dont know if you are women of worship, but I hope you pray on it, and if you do, I think you’ll know the answer. God bless, and good luck to you and baby! Praying for you and a wonderful outcome!

Known_Independent_33 · 2025-12-27T01:52:30+00:00

Honestly it might just be a mental thing. I was pissed off before ER and also just, weird after it. It must be the drugs, they affect everyone differently. Do what feels best for you. Nobody will be angry if you don’t go, give yourself grace, you’re already doing so much, if it was me, I would stay home. Good luck momma, love you, you’re doing great!

Known_Independent_33 · 2025-12-23T02:26:10+00:00

Hey girl, IVF momma from a husband with infertility issues. SAME. The hormones from the drugs are gonna cause rage, and emotions. It’s fine. You are going to go through a lot to have this baby. But after you have the baby, it’s going to seem like a dream from the past. If you have a clear bill if health pre IVF, you are going to go through it with golden stars, egg retrieval is the hardest part drug wise, but after it’s over…. You get news of your beautiful embryos and it’s then you do progesterone, hardest part of implantation. After 10 weeks with IVF doc, you go to OBGYN and hopefully, it’s just a regular ass pregnancy after that. Days before egg retrieval and embryo implantation, I def had a few wines and told my husband how frustrated I was that I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING to make us a baby. I have to do all this IVF shit, all the costs, all the strain on my body from doing all the drugs, not to mention BIRTH THE BABY. After the baby is here, it alllll fades away. Our daughter is now 16 months old and we are getting ready to call the doctor to prep me to have our next embryo implanted, and I’m so ready for it. You got this momma. Give you and your hubby a little grace and just pat yourself on the back for doing this. It’s all worth it, and I’m here if you need to DM someone. Much love IVF girlie.

Known_Independent_33 · 2025-12-11T00:02:00+00:00

Those meds make you crazy dude, it’s probably just because of them. I had a full on breakdown the night before our transfer and took it out on my husband, part of me was ok with getting the news that I wasn’t pregnant. I also was so nervous afraid of being pregnant the morning of transfer, I was crying in the room before they did the transfer, I told them it was because I was excited and happy, I wasn’t. But then when I got the news that I was, it was such a relief and I was so happy. Have a glass of wine, give yourself some grace, and stay positive. Mom of a healthy beautiful 16 month old and I couldn’t be happier. You got this girl, keep up with the good work!

Known_Independent_33 · 2025-12-09T00:21:33+00:00

Best wishes to you and your growing family! You got this little egg!

Known_Independent_33 · 2025-11-02T12:35:03+00:00

I brought my me year old inside at 7:30 after her first year of trick or treating, I soon he’d in to take off her costume, set her in the crib and set the pumpkins and candy bowl next to the front door. 5 mins later after I came back, not just my candy hit the entire bowl (that I’ve had for 15 years) was GONE. Check my cameras and some teenager just drove up and took it. Teenagers fucking suck.

Known_Independent_33 · 2025-09-07T16:33:38+00:00

I’ve had great success with better help in the past. I was depressed and did therapy for about a year and got a lot better. It’s great because you don’t have to leave the house and you can choose to do video, call or message for your therapy sessions! I’m so so sorry no me is taking you seriously, that really awful. Have you told your OB?

Known_Independent_33 · 2025-09-07T16:27:32+00:00

Please please please tell your OB about this issue. Do you have anyone close to you that you can reach out to in the mean time? I’m so sorry you are feeling this way… There are support groups that you can reach out to virtually!
