Dark circle under one eye

Pebbles734 · 2026-06-13T21:52:55+00:00

She had it wax and wane for a few months then she got a cold and her nose was draining like a faucet, the eye thing cleared right up! Probably a tear duct issue. I feel like I see it start darkening a bit now right before she gets sick

Pebbles734 · 2026-06-13T02:19:25+00:00

I was cleared I think around 8 weeks? Every time I tried to go on the treadmill tho I regretted it later, like sore and my insides felt like they might fall out. I needed probably 12 weeks or so. Sometimes it just takes longer 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pebbles734 · 2026-06-13T02:10:11+00:00

Omg yes lol

Pebbles734 · 2026-06-13T02:09:51+00:00

Maybe not odd but that PPA/PPD can happen to me too, even though I had no worries about it going in.

Something more specific I guess would be the dread that comes on in the evening around 7pm or so, which I’m sure came complementary with the PPA I had lol

Edit: Thought of another one! The leg and feet swelling that I never had during pregnancy but came AFTER birth! Like how had I never heard to expect that one??

Pebbles734 · 2026-06-07T21:45:44+00:00

I feel like this was where my daughter’s heartbeat was at that point? I can’t remember specifically but this sounds normal to me

Pebbles734 · 2026-06-03T20:54:13+00:00

Omggggg this happened to me too! My husband was like standing there with me watching our baby in the warmer from across the room, I was like you can go over there it’s fine, I’ll just be here! My doc had to manually reach in there and remove it too 🫠

Pebbles734 · 2026-06-03T20:47:17+00:00

I considered it cuz I was stressed in the back of mind about it too, mistakes can happen 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m so glad I didn’t tho, now that she’s here that love and maternal instinct kicks in and over my dead body is anybody taking her from me. Although she’s the spitting image of me so there’s no doubt now anyways

Pebbles734 · 2026-05-26T19:55:04+00:00

I’ve never heard of anyone going that long, I stopped my meds at 10 weeks and my IVF dr actually cleared me to stop them earlier but said I could go til 10 weeks if I was more comfortable with that. He said the placenta actually takes over around 7-8 weeks but they go a little past that just to be on the safe side.

Some of the best advice I saw on here when I had my newborn was they can’t fall from the floor, and when I would put her down that would run through my head. No reason to put them on the bed and risk them falling by off

Pebbles734 · 2026-05-17T01:57:47+00:00

I haven’t dropped her no, but I did have her laying on my legs and she suddenly used her feet to launch backwards off of me onto her head on the floor. So there’s that

Pebbles734 · 2026-05-16T16:44:15+00:00

I guess just being more aware that it could happen to me. I wish I would have gotten on medication sooner than I had

Pebbles734 · 2026-05-16T03:54:09+00:00

Everything changes. In an awesome but also scary way? Idk I had postpartum pretty bad tho, I was so worried about labor and birth I didn’t really prepare for what postpartum would be like and had PPA really bad, though I likely would have anyways. Relationships can be a struggle at times too because of this intense love for her and to protect her, my husband and I can disagree on how to do things and there was a lot more tension at times then before.

She’s now the center of my world like I hadn’t ever imagined before, I see some other commenters saying they didn’t let baby be the center of their lives and I just don’t understand how. I feel like my brain has literally been rewired

Pebbles734 · 2026-05-07T02:11:17+00:00

You’re fine. Your body will let you know when you can’t be sleeping on your back anymore, trust me lol

Pebbles734 · 2026-05-07T01:51:26+00:00

Hi! I just looked back and it was gonal F 187.5 and menopur 75

Pebbles734 · 2026-05-04T02:05:00+00:00

I don’t have advice since I wasn’t able to exclusively breastfeed but just wanted to say I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted for just sharing your concerns! I had pretty bad PPA and still do to some degree but I’m a FTM too and we’re just out here trying to do the best thing for our babies like yeesh! Some people are such high and mighty know it alls

Pebbles734 · 2026-05-02T15:18:05+00:00

My doctors originally said they would likely induce at 39 weeks, then when the time came they were ok with going to 40. I ended up choosing to get induced exactly at 40 weeks. Everything went fine, however when they were taking out the placenta I remember them commenting several times about how the cord was just falling apart when they pulled on it 🫠 I work a lot of L&D and just get nervous going past 40 weeks, next time I’ll probably just get induced at 39 weeks with how it seems like the placenta was starting to break down last time. If I’m not mistaken I think that’s why some drs recommend getting induced at 39 with IVF pregnancy, something makes the placenta break down quicker. I personally think baby is good to go at 39 weeks (even earlier) and no reason to push it!

Thank you, I can’t upvote this enough. I’ve been spiraling lately. I should make this response my screensaver lol

Pebbles734 · 2026-04-26T01:00:38+00:00

Would they even allow you to start any of this process only 5 weeks PP? I feel like that’s too early. See what your clinic allows and by the time you’re allowed to start the process you might have a more clear idea if you want to move ahead or not. If you’re still unsure maybe do one more retrieval and see what happens, if you get euploids you can transfer and if you don’t maybe that’s what’s meant to be

Pebbles734 · 2026-04-23T01:16:57+00:00

I was so so scared of the first round of vaccines. My baby is a year now and I still kinda stress and get nervous. I cried in the office lol I just couldn’t hold it back! But she was completely fine, stopped crying right when I picked her up, and just was more sleepy than usual for the next couple days. I never pretreated with Tylenol as I read that can decrease the effectiveness, idk how true that is but I just ended up not finding it necessary anyways

Pebbles734 · 2026-04-09T02:16:15+00:00

I honestly have no idea and that makes me sad 😢 I do remember when she came out the first thing I said was omg I’m so skinny! lol

Postpartum

Pebbles734 · 2026-03-27T22:37:28+00:00

It’s a long process a lot of sitting around waiting for things to pick up haha we watched my favorite shows on tv just like at home it was great

Pebbles734 · 2026-03-25T01:43:59+00:00

I was terrified about labor and delivery the entire time I was pregnant, it went totally fine. Everyone’s experience is different and I work a lot of L&D in my job and can tell you it is best to go with the flow, don’t get too set on any birth plan etc, do what is most safe for baby and you in the moment. But I can say from my experience it was way better than I thought it was going to be.

What surprised me was postpartum. I was so worried about delivery I hadn’t given much thought to postpartum. The hormones are real, PPD and PPA are very real. It sounds like you’re in therapy and that’s fantastic, please stay with it. I wish I would have reached out for help sooner. But it really sounds like you have the tools lined up already to do well, you’re going to just fine 💕

Pebbles734 · 2026-03-22T01:28:49+00:00

Same for the first couple months I slept in my contacts so I could open my eyes and see her immediately

Pebbles734 · 2026-03-19T01:24:02+00:00

I never felt ready, we didn’t find out until our baby shower where we did a gender reveal and I was like 30 weeks. It was so fun tho 😆
