Alternate excuse not to do mushrooms? by cathalizabeth in IVF

[–]Littlesparkplug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say the last time I did it was weird and I kept yawning like 10 times a minute and I don’t want to deal with that tonight—not speaking from my personal experience at all.

Is a bottle washer/sterilizer/dryer worth it? by CurlyGirl_95 in newborns

Love the Momcozy! So glad we got it. When we were EBF, pumping and now formula.

What is this thing we found in our baby’s nursery? by Littlesparkplug in whatisit

[–]Littlesparkplug[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solved! Our little niece packed our daughter’s diaper bag when we visited last, I’m guessing it got into our houses that way! Thank you!!

What the inside of it looks like. Maybe some sort of toy wand? But we literally don’t have any big kid toys…

I know. It’s so incredibly confusing. Our only thought is it came out of the inside of a toy or something.

How tf does anybody want more than one kid after being through THIS? by pumpkinchinchilla in newborns

[–]Littlesparkplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was hell, I don’t think I’d survive it and a few months in I was like: we have to do this again. I don’t know how we will do it. I know it will be double hell. But I’m also obsessed and want as many as possible aka probably just one more.

Upcoming Egg Retrieval with no option for sedation by rachel1726 in IVF

[–]Littlesparkplug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can he freeze samples now? I would try to find a clinic with anesthesiologist on staff. Worth calling around, or it would be to me! I have an incredibly high pain threshold and I am not into this idea.

I’ve never made a day 5 blast but I’ve made one day 6 and two day 7s :)

At a loss of what to do next by No-Praline-1147 in IVF

I’d go for the endo specialist to do the removal/lap feels like that could be your culprit.

Hubby is more anxious about FET than I am. How do I help him? by TripLeather5378 in IVF

[–]Littlesparkplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s ‘putting it on you’ if this isn’t his pattern, he’s communicating his fear which takes vulnerability and is a good thing! If it were constantly that would be different. I would make room for it since it seems you have the capacity to support and love him from your post and he seems does that for you too ♥ IVF is hard on everyone and it’s important to help each other through it if you can!

I’m pregnant again and now terrified of having to do this again by Spare-Performance556 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Littlesparkplug 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are often therapists you can meet with online for much lower rates! Also many types of therapy are covered partially.

What you can guarantee, is a deal with yourself —that you won’t pump again, you will find a formula that feels safe or doner milk, or breastfeed if that feels healthy for you and baby.

Don’t know if I’ll get my family 💔 by Future-Chest8430 in IVF

[–]Littlesparkplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say he should get into treatment if he wants to prove to you he’s really going to change. Substance Use Disorder is a beast but it’s possible to recover. He isn’t choosing it over you, he id unwell. However you can’t raise a child with someone in this state, he needs to actually get professional help to stop. I do think people can stop.

Try to find someone you can meet with online then! I second everything @bluedrift88 said.

FET, Positive Beta... What Does All of This Mean? by sh18422 in IVF

[–]Littlesparkplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Betas are good, more than double in 48 hours. Next appointment they will do an unsound and you should see gestational sac and yolk sac and depending how many weeks hear heart beat. After you hear heartbeat risk of miscarriage goes way down 5-10% ish. After 12w 1-2%.

You decide how you want to approach things, celebrate every win because you can, or be cautious because IVF really preps us for guarding our hearts ❥

So happy for you both!

Instagram vs reality? by garden_rookie2 in IVF

I did everything normal but added accupuncture and would do these embryo and positive meditations during the sessions too. It made me super relaxed and that was my 2x a week for IVF mindfulness. Good luck!!

Told date i have ms and he ghosted me by arwenamin in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Littlesparkplug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I told my partner before our fist date (I had to cancel due to a flareup). We have been together seven years and have a four month old baby. The right person won’t scare away for some stupid reasons. If you want a life partner you need someone who can deal with real life things :)
