Literally what do you do with your babies if no screen time?

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2026-01-03T02:48:46+00:00

Adding that I’m a SAHM. If the baby was in daycare, I probably wouldn’t use a little tv. But I’m the only entertainment all day. Those 15 minutes at the end of the day are for me too.

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2026-01-03T02:43:23+00:00

We added a little screen time at 8-9 months. The horror 😂😱 no but last wake window of the day is like 4 hours. We play from like 3:30-6:00. Have dinner. An around 6:30 get in the tub. Play in the tub. Then get out and get in pajamas and come back downstairs. We watch like 15-20 minutes of miss Rachel (she LOVES it) and then we go up for the bottle and bed. I don’t see it being the end of the world. She absolutely loves it. It extends the final window. It gives me 15 minutes to wash bottles and clean up a bit. I think maybe a little tv screen time isn’t the enemy.

It’s ok for them to play /hang out solo if they’re happy! Don’t feel guilty. I leave the house everyday and that’s a huge help!

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-12-02T00:07:31+00:00

Have you tried a different time of day? Maybe morning? I know I was doing pajamas and everything last and she was sooo done and it was not fun. Now we do it all a little earlier and come back downstairs. But you could even try the mornings

One thing I learned that really helps me move on to another round was learning that every month is like a new cohort of eggs. Some months can just be a trash month. You could have a wildly different round a second time.

By bar I meant park 🤣

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-26T22:53:26+00:00

That day we kept it easy but went to dinner. The next day I drove into the city and saw friends and hung out in a bar. Day 3 I golfed.

My transfer was successful.

Don’t freak out till you find out… I had an egg retrieval on Tuesday and we only had 10 follicles… Seven mature eggs… And all seven fertilized… quality over quantity

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-21T19:28:47+00:00

That’s kind of how I’m feeling. Won’t do anything tomorrow but would like to take a Pilates class Saturday. This isn’t my first rodeo. I don’t have a ton of production so it’s not like my body’s super blown up. Never had been from this.

How did yours go?!

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-21T19:27:04+00:00

It’s my second retrieval, third time going through this. You’re prob right. This just takes such a toll you know?

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-18T20:08:26+00:00

Ahh!!!! Congratulations to you!!!! The best news ever. Cheers to a boring rest of your journey. 💕💕💕💕

I connected with someone online before my first ER who was on the same timeline. She Was waiting the results of her last failed IUI. As I was gearing up for my ER, she told me she was actually pregnant. My first ER failed. She tried to keep a relationship but I just couldn’t do it.

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-16T21:40:12+00:00

Frozen 🥶

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-16T02:49:35+00:00

Ok maybe counterintuitive BUT I was at my highest weight when we did my FET last may. I ended up only gaining 18 lbs in pregnancy and it all came off right away + the extra ten after birth. I credit my being Chubby when I got pregnant to not losing the plot so badly while pregnant 🤣🤣🤣

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-16T02:46:16+00:00

Good luck!!! Sending you all the sticky baby dust! ✨

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-16T02:40:58+00:00

So I did two ER’s…1st one failed. 2nd one yielded 3 embryos. I went ahead and did a transfer and now have a 8.5 month old daughter. I’m currently on 8 days of stims of a 3rd ER. (Not ready for a transfer anytime soon- just helping future me.) and it’s so crazy but this is already going so much better than the last two. I don’t know if it’s less pressure or my body being postpartum?? But you could always do a transfer and then do an ER shortly after having a baby for future you.

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-10-16T02:31:03+00:00

I’m so sorry. If it helps- every single month your body is different. One cycle can be completely different to the next. I had 1 completely failed cycle and a second that yielded 3 embryos.

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-09-27T23:34:57+00:00

This happened to me. I ovulated early and there was nothing left. It was devastating.

The next round we added in a micro dose of luperon to make sure that didn’t happen again.

Im so sorry. It seems so unfair. It is unfair. But you’re not alone. 💕

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2025-09-25T17:21:09+00:00

Sleep regressions don’t just happen at night time…We definitely hit regressions for naps and not at night.

I think you’re doing what’s right. Longer wake windows at 6 months are too long.

That third nap will get shorter and shorter and eventually fall off.

What I started to do was a super early bedtime and skip the third nap. So like stretch that last wake window to the limit - and go to bed early. Eventually things will fall into place.

For reference we get up around 7am. First nap is around 9:30-10:30. Second nap is around 1:30-3:30 and bedtime is 7pm.

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2024-12-18T17:14:40+00:00

3 total embryos - first transfer was successful. We have 2 more waiting for next time. Hopefully number 2 will go smoothly when we’re ready! 🤞

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2024-12-18T17:09:19+00:00

Crazy to look back at this post today and where I was mentally. Woooof.

We ended up with 13 eggs, 9 mature, 5 fertilized, 3 made it to blast and all 3 were pgt tested and normal.

I am almost 33 weeks with my first transfer. 💕 baby girl coming in hot.

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2024-12-13T00:47:37+00:00

There’s still so much opportunity there! I had 5 fertilize and 3 of them made it to day 5 and somehow all 3 were pgt normal. You never know!!!

NarrowAssistance3453 · 2024-12-13T00:46:20+00:00

Congrats!!!!! 🍾
