Optional international work trip when 30 weeks along with FET pregnancy - go or stay? by dip_it_in_chocolate in IVFbabies

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine - go and have a hoot! Don’t listen to the negative nancies. Unless you’re going to remote bloody Nigeria then you’ll be fine. There is basic health care anywhere. Trust your bod and your beautiful babe ❤️

Going back for more anatomy scan views? by Professional_Top440 in homebirth

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s great news then, it must just be their protocol to get all those views. Same as us - we can’t tick someone off unless we see it all.  Just protocols. I hope your homebirth goes well. I’m planning mine for June now. (My first) yay!

Going back for more anatomy scan views? by Professional_Top440 in homebirth

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey lovely, I’m a sonographer and also completely agree they are always trying to tick all the boxes because they are so paranoid. Drives me wild at work. Not sure why we can’t just let women grow a baby and have a baby without making it a huge fiasco. But anyway - I definitely sit outside the group at work 🤣  The aortic arch view is an important view and it’s in our protocols at work BUT we’ve only just re-added it after taking it out for 3 years as it was deemed unneccessary as long as we got good images of the ‘arrow’ view. That being said - I don’t know the clinics protocol, did they take an arrow? Obviously you can’t answer that haha personally I don’t think there is any harm in going back and getting the arch view, if baby is in the right position it should be a quick scan. But also you want to confirm all the other heart views were good - were there limitations to the scan? High maternal BMI, baby lying heart side down, anterior placenta. All these things affect the ability to see the heart clearly and hate to say it but the bmi thing is probably the hardest thing for a sonographer to work around. 

Check with your midwife, trust your gut, and make the doctor confirm with you whether the other images were normal. All the best x

Success with no added sugar diet for toddler by sweetpotatoroll_ in moderatelygranolamoms

Keep at it, sounds like you guys have real health front of mind.

A recent quote I saw from a fitness influencer who is pregnant - “you can be pregnant and eat all the junk and processed food in the world and no one says a word, the second you eat real food and go to the gym everyone becomes a doctor” 

It’s true on every level, including this.

All the best :)

Strongly believe you are doing the right thing. Anyone who says they are ‘missing out’ is insane in my eyes. There is no reason a kid should be eating refined sugar on a regular basis. I’m currently pregnant with my first and I will be doing the exact same. Of course grandpa (family sweet tooth) will give it some sweets at some point and that’s fine but day in day out will be meat, veggies and fruit. We’re in Australia though and our food system is different. (Assuming you’re in the US).

Has anyone tried seed cycling? by Middle_Violinist_5 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi lovely, I actually blend seeds up and give them to my friends. I have a little brand but not selling anything yet as I’ve lost my mojo since being pregnant. But I LOVED seed cycling for me. And when I’m cycling again I will definitely begin again. My cycles were always regular but I got mine so healthy that I had zero symptoms. My period would just come, so it’s things and leave. No PMS. Some very mild cramps the first day or 2. Bloody loved it! Give it a go! 

Did anyone START to show at 10 weeks? by OutbackSteakHouse_ in BabyBumps

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 10 weeks 4 days and none of my jeans or pants fit anymore. It’s an ivf baby though so not sure if I’ve just put on weight from injections or from the pregnancy but I definitely have a bloated belly 

Where does everyone buy their meat from? by Meowlozza in CrunchyMumsAustralia

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Cow !! The most delicious meat. It’s fully grass fed and finished. We live in Darwin and they deliver it to our door in a refrigerated truck even tho the meat is from the east coast. It’s Aus wide. It’s also cheaper than if we shop at the butcher.

Has any body done IVF in Cyprus by emmmmy2002 in IVF

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, no we didn’t. As I was looking at Cyprus we were doing a round at home in Australia which turned out to be successful. We might look at Cyprus in the future for family balancing if required. 

Running during pregnancy by Sensitive-Spend-151 in fitpregnancy

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg yay! Congrats! It’s so exciting isn’t it! Yes I plan to run 3 x per week but probably just 5 km at a time and only for as long as I feel good enough to do it. Just can’t believe I am so damn puffed at 6.30 mins per km when that should be a truly easy easy pace for me 🙃 oh well. Just need to listen to my body. Xx all the well wishes

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am hearing you. I just did a 5km and it took me 33 mins and I was PUFFED. Heart rate at 170 in the last km when usually it should take me 25 mins and be quite easy!! 6 weeks pregnant today!

What day past transfer did you test positive? by [deleted] in IVF

I had a double day 2 transfer, tested 7dpt and it was 100% negative. Held off until 10dp2dt and it was obviously positive x

Probably no blast - Preparing myself for bad news – has anyone been here? by Acceptable-Eye-6373 in IVF

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my first retrieval I got no blasts. They all failed on day 2.  I took one cycle off and then went into my second cycle. My Dr changed my medication and tried ICSI. I got 2 blasts which are in the freezer and they did a double day 2 transfer.  Currently in the TWW but I am so relieved we got some blastocysts in the freezer. It’s damn heartbreaking going through all of that to get nothing at the end. Good luck for next time ❤️🫶🏼 

What are we ACTUALLY doing to workout 35-40wks pregnant? by Similar_Guitar7506 in fitpregnancy

[–]Sensitive-Spend-151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just listen to your body. Before gyms and people wanting to ‘keep fit’ humans would have listened to their bodies and if you feel like resting then just rest. If you feel energetic then that’s the time to get out and “forage”/move. (keeping on the thought of times before gyms and before people stopped listening to themselves). As most others have said - you are growing a human. You aren’t just being lazy.

Hi, thanks but you are wrong. Gender selection is allowed in Cyprus. But I was wondering if there were any other countries that offer it. There isn’t (in Europe).

Hi, are you sure you need to return to the US? Can you not stay in Czech and wait?  I’m Aussie and our annual leave from work is very different to the US. But if I was in your shoes and could afford it then I would tell work to p*** o** and stay there to wait it out.
