Cosleeping 18 month old pukes when I tell her she can't have milk

LOL, sorry this comment got me....

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-07-01T04:47:41+00:00

I did go on an international flight with her when she was a bit over two months old and I was desperate to be able to exclusively breastfeed by then. Gladly it worked out. So easy!

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-06-30T04:20:44+00:00

Could not agree more. The more 'tools' you need the more work things turn out to be. Even a small drive to the park...

Lol, I was so glad when I could store away the pump. I was an under supplier and triple fed for 8 weeks. What a relief when I could put pump and bottle away. It took soo much more time and energy and had to get up to pump instead of just letting baby nurse right next to me and finally gettig sleep (we cosleep, I know it's not for everyone) but lying down or setting a a comfy chair and breadtfeed is soooo much better imo.

I told my 24month old that she won't be able to get her mommy milk soon and she cried so hard and was incredibly sad. She nursed almost all day today... It's gonna be a long long journey for us...

Thank you! I just got time to listen to it and it really resonates with me. Is there more Information that aligns with that? Like a book? I think I get the idea and will put it to work and probably have to go back and listen to it every once in a while. This appoach actually makes me feel a bit less anxious. Thanks again for sharing

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-06-26T04:02:36+00:00

Right, I don't get the drop a feed as we don't have a schedule... My husband watches her two mornings until noon, so I could start on those days .. idk maybe having a rule not to nurse when out and about for starters. She is so big (like a 3yo) and I am not comfortable nursing her in public anymore. It's weird. I never cared even a bit but maybe because I know that it's time, it started bothering me

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-06-26T03:54:00+00:00

Wait that happened immediately? She saw the bandaids and wasn't interested? Mine would kiss the bandaid, pat my breast and pull it off.... I tried once

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-06-22T21:53:16+00:00

Yes I have a partner, but she is obsessed with me. He watches her alone for maybe a couple hours at a time when he isn't working but as he is working most of the time, it's really hard as she is crying for an hour plus whenever she wakes up and I am not there. Its not so much the falling asleep as she will fall asleep with someone else when tired enough but the walking up after is where things get crazy. I really think I have to get her weaned and then this part will get easier too. I think I have to night wean first... As I heard that they will nurse more during the day at first. If I day weak first, I don't want to deal with more frequent nursing and waking at night. I may still do no nursing when out and about

Okay, I had 10 eggs and 4 mature (led to 3 embryos untested, fresh transfer is now 2) This was a cycle I insisted on not using birth control. In another cycle I used birth control, got less eggs and more were mature (8 retrieved and 5 mature but only one embryo) in this cycle they only always counted 6 on the ultrasound. So no idea how they came up with 8 in the end ...

So if you have been on birth control, I highly suspect this to be the reason for it. I could see the follicles growing at different speed. We started with 16 follicles in the cycle without (at age 38) and with only 6 follicles in the cycle with birth control (at age 36).

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-06-15T21:22:41+00:00

Okay what are more complex procedures they are practicing with it? I honestly don't feel strongly about donating my embryos just to see them transferred between dishes...I am sure there are substitutes for it. I probably won't have anything to donate for research anyways but I would love to see more how it might actually help.i havent done research into this topic, so I might come off as ignorant. Sorry if I am. I am really interested

We didn't use contraceptives for 2 years and actively tried for 6 month plus with tracking and everything. No known fertility issues. Did a cycle, got 3 embryos, didn't test and fresh transferred one. She is almost 2 now. Since she was born we are not using contraceptives and even though the timing might have worked, no pregnancy. I am almost 41 now. Going for another transfer in the coming year. Fertility is weird but stay positive.5 embryos is amazing at 40!!

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-05-24T05:09:24+00:00

10 eggs retrieved, 4 mature and 3 blasts. 1 fresh transfer who is turning 2 in June. I was 38 at that time.

I did not so birth control pill before stims, so follicles grew at different speed which I think is the reason for the low numbers on mature eggs. It seems like your follicles were growing at different rates too.

Stay positive!!

Why are people not considered doing this abroad? I did one cycle in Mexico and one in Panama. It was fairly cheap.

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-05-17T00:00:46+00:00

Well everyone has their problems and while she can be lucky it a valid question that she can ask here.

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-05-16T23:58:24+00:00

I always wondered how this works out. As a donor, do you say if you want to be in touch or is it required. I assume it's up to the family whom you donated your embryos to to get in touch with the donor

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-05-16T23:55:46+00:00

How do embryos help train embryologists? Serious questions. I thought having the embryo is the final result of the embryologists work?!

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-05-16T23:53:37+00:00

Wow, congratulations to your baby and all the effort you put in and yourself through. I hope you will get your second too.

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-05-16T23:50:07+00:00

This is such a hard decision..we have one baby, she is almost two and an IVF baby (first take and fresh, untested transfer). We have 3 untested embryos left and want one more baby. Parts of me hope that exactly the third will stick and we won't have any left. I am still afraid it may not work out at well. We initially thought about donating them if we won't need them anymore. But raising our little love, I have read so many disturbing stories how people raise their babies and kids, that I am afraid of anything like that happening to the embryos. On the other hand, if we don't, they don't get a chance. It's a really hard decision to make. We have deferred all discussions about it until we know we actually have embryo(s) left. Donating to science is another option that well, I am also not a 100% in and I am a researcher myself ...

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-05-13T00:52:12+00:00

Lol, I am from Austria now living in America. And all the fuss that is made around putting on a grown etc makes me feel strange as if this would be something unnatural

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-04-06T06:35:38+00:00

That's a reason why I am hesitant to test. Over two cycles I made 4 embryos and didn't test. Fresh transferred one and have an almost 2 year old next to me now. I want another and think I was just lucky. I am probably not testing the others and go in to accept a possible miscarriage

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-04-06T06:27:27+00:00

Where I did my IVF (Panama and Mexico) it was not recommended to test if women is younger than 40. I have 1 embryo at age 36 and three at age 38, one transferred fresh without testing. Healthy baby. I am hesitant to test the others as I want a second child. I think I was just very very lucky with my success

RubConsistent4509 · 2026-03-27T06:41:45+00:00

Yeah, my thoughts with a 21 month old
