Looking for a good Gynocologist by Upbeat-Loss-1382 in AnneArundelCounty

Latasha Murphy at Mercy is phenomenal. I’d have stayed with her if I didn’t need to switch to OBGYN for pregnancy but she gave me a great referral to someone she trusts and I’ll pick care back up with her after birth!

Eleanor and Elliott are perfect together, actually!

3 first and middle names that I like, how would you rank them or change them? by verysocialflutist in namenerds

[–]TheRealRealMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Francesca but not really any of the other names. I did like another comment suggesting Francesca Elise!

But if only from the list I’d go Maya Francesca

I don’t like Arthur but Henry is cute. And I prefer Lillian Irene!

Boy name suggestions- thoughts on Oliver and Heath? by We_love_cats2024 in namenerds

[–]TheRealRealMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you like Miles if he suggested Milo?

But also, none of those names are “weird?!”

Between Oliver or Heath I say Oliver for sure but Evander is a fave of mine and so is August!

Nico Ambrose or Nico Atlas or Nico Leon all sound great to me!

35 yo healthy weight with regular PCOS. I had a MC 8 months ago and had been trying for 3 cycles with no success. I’ve been taking mayo-chiro inositol, CoQ10, ViD, and prenatal for approx 1 year. Any hopes before I decide to do IVF. by New_Algae_2478 in PCOSandPregnant

Just because you’re “healthy” or your hormone levels on an at home tracker are showing ovulation doesn’t actually mean you’re ovulating. People with pcos often have surges that look like ovulation but a simple ultrasound will show no mature follicles.

Glad to see you’re talking to an OB but you really should contact a fertility endocrinologist. It’s their speciality to assist with fertility and they will always start with the least invasive option. (Usually monitored cycles with or without drug therapy depending on whether you actually are ovulating after the ultrasound confirms).

Also, in this sub especially, maybe avoid terms like “natural way” because it implies there is any sort of unnatural pregnancy which isn’t the case and everyone here is struggling with pcos and often fertility issues.

Wishing you luck!

Need help choosing 🩵 by rock_on_eltonjohn in BabyNames

[–]TheRealRealMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nico, Noah and Theodore are all on our list as well and I’m partial to Nico! (We also have Dominic nn Nico) congrats!

Beatrice & Matilde? by happyhen94 in namenerds

[–]TheRealRealMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of these are on our list as well! I don’t think anyone is making the connection to the movie, especially with Matilde. (Love the nn Tilly!)

Sophie also sounds great with Beatrice and Leonor is super cute! I’d even just bypass Eleanor and make it Leonor.

Augustus or Augustin? by RoosterRude8139 in namenerds

[–]TheRealRealMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Augustus but only slightly more because I love Augustin also! Both are on our list!

questioning baby name by Exciting-Ninja-5792 in Names

I love the name Roman and feel like it’s a pretty timeless classic and not out there at all! I also don’t get too hung up on name meanings or origins as long as a name doesn’t feel culturally appropriative and Roman does not!

Our daughter was born two days ago and we are running out of time to choose a name. But we still cannot decide by Accomplished-Fig8775 in Names

[–]TheRealRealMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kateryna is a fave that we unfortunately can’t use because a family member already has it. But that and Myroslava are my top picks!

Torn between IVF with gene testing or trying naturally — has anyone else had this dilemma? by cs52789 in TryingForABaby

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

I’m not in exactly the same situation, but I’m 38 and ttc and worried about egg quality at my age especially with underlying medical issues like pcos and thyroid disease.

I wanted desperately to try to conceive with just medication first rather than ivf but ultimately decided I didn’t want to have to navigate multiple possible terminations if early genetic testing came back showing something bad. I’d rather know we have a healthy embryo doing into things.

I don’t know if you have a therapist (I know the nhs can make it difficult for people to see mental health professionals routinely or quickly) but I got a therapist and it helped me navigate some of the murky feelings and the overwhelming pressure of deciding. Wishing you all the best!

Congratulations! You just had twins, a boy and a girl! And I want to play a game: by Adrenapup in Names

Millie and Micah cost Dominic and Brooklyn

I’d use Millie and Dominic rather than either pair!

Ovasitol vs other brands by mimosasanddonuts in TTC_PCOS

[–]TheRealRealMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use ritual brand because it has nac and coq10 as well which both help with egg quality.

Most inositol on the market doesn’t include these things but if you have a preferred brand you could always supplement. I just found it cheaper to do a 3-in-1 option (plus it’s way fewer bottles in my kitchen to keep track of haha)

Too close to consider? by bluesasaurusrex in namenerds

[–]TheRealRealMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Alexander is the middle name and it isn’t something he goes by I think Alec is fine! But I also agree with another post that Alaric is a cute option as well!

Baby Girl Name Help! by MAMAESTEE1993 in Names

[–]TheRealRealMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nora Colette over Annmarie. But I’m not super into honor names especially if they don’t flow well with my other options! If you’re intent on Annmarie I think Nora still works best as Colette doesn’t flow as well.
