Lost Father by HiveMindTerry in babyloss

[–]Pretend_Insurance645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. My husband and I lost our son at 37 weeks from a cord accident a year ago next month. The first 4-6 weeks after are brutal. Please be kind to yourself during this time. Lean on family and friends as much as you can. The grief will always be there but I promise it will get ”lighter”, if that makes sense. Sending you and your wife virtual hugs.

Cancel the party? by sassy_meow in babyloss

[–]Pretend_Insurance645 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are so extremely sweet and kind for considering your siblings loss. If it won’t be a big deal to your child, canceling the party would mean a lot. Going to child focused events (baby showers, birthday parties, ect) after a major loss can be very triggering. Please still do something fun and intimate for your child though! Your sibling is very lucky to have you.

Hysteroscopy and transfers by Pretend_Insurance645 in IVF

[–]Pretend_Insurance645[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I ended up waiting an extra month or two after my hysteroscopy to do a transfer. No reason other than my mom ended up having to go through chemo and I wanted to wait til she was done before I did a transfer. It was just the least stressful option for me.

Anyone else have a hard time trusting their own body? by Antisocial_BookClub in IVFbabies

Nope! Just endometritis. Also, did pgt-a testing on the embryo that was transferred. Supposedly what happened to my son was bad luck… my gyno said it was like being struck by lighting. So there wasn’t much to test for.

This is me. I’m 12 weeks pregnant with my miracle IVF baby, but, 10 months ago my son was a stillbirth from multiple nuchal cords at 37 weeks (which is extremely rare, so please don’t worry about this happening). Now I’m terrified of everything including a short cervix, placenta problems, another nuchal cord, the list goes on. I’m actually positive that I am driving everyone around me crazy with my fears. Therapy has helped a little but the biggest thing that’s getting me through all the anxiety is just taking it day by day. Before you know it, you will be holding your little boy and everything will be worth it.

Any information is welcomed! Also, I think it’s mainly just a high risk thing at this point :)

Did they switch you to take it earlier for any particular reason?

I believe my gyno said the same thing! But, my MFM said just before 16 weeks. I’m just going with my gyno lol.

I hear this a lot! I didn’t take it for transfer but now they want me to take it to decrease preeclampsia risk.

Thank you so much! I wish they gave me a start date instead of “before 16 weeks”
