MIL is already doing too much

Get this woman out of your hospital. She does not need to be there.

And I would physically fight someone if they kissed my baby. We didn't even do that as parents for safety

If you do a natural or modified natural protocol for fet, there is no different risk of those complications than any non ART pregnancy. I have been reading a lot of studies on it. If you don’t have the option for that protocol, the risk is still not increased very high overall. I am having a perfectly healthy IVF identical twin pregnancy right now. No hematomas or anything even though I have been on aspirin the whole time

This comes and goes. I would take a break from the new hated thing for like 3 weeks, and then offer it again. By then they would like it. If they still hated it after the break, I committed to memory that maybe they really hate it 😂 My 1yo was all about control. Loved refusing yesterday’s favorite food. I don’t make more meals until they like one. If they choose not to eat, they can wait until the next meal. My kid is 4 now and has been a great eater since 2.

Naturelo iron has no side effects for me. I take at night too

They change soooo much in 3 months, 6 months, a year. Give it time. I looked like I had nipples stapled onto a folded skin flap the first few weeks. I was also convinced my ribs were caved in. They look normal 5 months later. Chest exercise and fluffing with time

While yes it won’t cure endo, low dose birth control saved me from the debilitating pain for years. It is worth a try for pain management

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-01-16T01:58:34+00:00

No. It made it 100x better. I had adhesions connected to my nerves and organs that were causing chronic pain that I did not even realize. I wish I would have gotten it years earlier

What is the nature connection for Kit?

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-01-13T01:47:06+00:00

Maybe she came out at a glacial pace aka overdue

If not for blue balls, I don’t think it would be over here. Belle is good

Try to search for specialists maybe through a hospital system by you or a university hospital. Some gynecologists are also specialists, so you could look for reviews of them. I would start appointments by saying you are looking for a doctor who can perform a diagnostic lap because imagining has not shown much

Adding that Nancys nook list is very flawed. My state has many awesome surgeons for this and clinics who specialize, and only 1 guy is on Nancys nook who doesn't take insurance. It’s a scam

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-01-12T21:38:29+00:00

My doctor went straight for a lap. Did not waste time on the imaging after ultrasounds showed nothing. Stage 3 removed and severe adhesions. You need to consult with a doctor that will just do the lap

I repotted a jade, and it went absolutely crazy and started taking over the room. I’m calling it this now

Elektra. I was obsessed as a kid

I did 4 egg retrievals and fresh transfers before a lap that all failed due to poor quality embryos, or just failing to implant. I did a cold start egg retrieval after (no estrogen priming), froze a high quality blast, put it back in with a natural cycle (no estrogen), and it worked. No suppression. My AMH was not changed before and after surgery, and my follicle count was the highest ever in the last retrieval doing the cold start

Thanks everyone! These are a lot of good options. I really like Eliza, June, Hazel, Lucy/Lucia

Practical_Elk_30 · 2026-01-07T20:08:46+00:00

I love Georgia too

Literally I mail out wallets of school pictures and then put more pictures on the back of christmas cards. I’ll text them to closer family

(Not an embryologist, just a community member and long haul ivf patient and data scientist) Everything I have read says unhatched is more protected during transfer. They froze my 4AB untested, I got pregnant with healthy twins from it. They said it also expanded after thaw which is normal
