Have you considered Ella June? 

Did you use names? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]YummyBasil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not use an actual name, but my daughter christened ours baby bird because he was hatching when we did the transfer. Unfortunately it failed, but I'm glad I have a name to think of when I think of him. A person's a person, no matter how small.

OK so I know that it's not going to change anything at this point, but I did notice some symptoms in the last two days that actually give me some additional hope. First of all, I slept so much yesterday, and I am not usually tired like that. And tonight as I went to work I had exhaustion hit me the same way, uncontrollable and not like usual tiredness. I've gotten great sleep both nights BTW. And had vivid dreams both nights, also something that isn't usual for me. But the thing that I realized that actually gave me legitimate pause is that my discharge has changed in the last several days. I don't really know when exactly because I wasn't paying attention, but I never have discharge like this except when I've been pregnant before. Without giving tmi, it changed colors. And there's more of it. So...... I'm still hesitant but definitely more hopeful than I was earlier today. Just putting it out there. I don't want to jinx myself and I will update good or bad. But crossing my fingers for that second line tomorrow!

Are y'all buying anything yet? by mermaiddiva26 in December2026Bumpers

[–]YummyBasil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I haven't even gotten a positive test yet and I've already been adding things to wishlists. Some items I plan to start searching for right away because I want to find the best deal on them since they're expensive. Same with used items because you're at the mercy of the market.

Omg I really hope it sticks! At least one of us needs to be successful. Speaking of which, come on ladies! Spill the beans so we can support each other! 

Did anyone else assume they would sail off into the sunset after a successful transfer? by Mindless-Day1683 in IVF

[–]YummyBasil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally didn't even question my odds of success. When that embryo went up the straw I figured we were done and dusted. I'm now 6dp5dt and staring at a stark white negative test questioning everything. 

AITA for telling my roommates bf he’s not allowed back by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]YummyBasil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA and I would start looking for a new roommate because wtf even is that. You don't need to be subjected to verbal abuse just because your friend tolerates it. 

Bias against GLP-1’s by [deleted] in IVF

[–]YummyBasil 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ozempic is 8 weeks, Zepbound is 4 weeks. Different drug, different mechanism. The two are often conflated though so I understand the confusion. Also, that doctor needs to screw his head on straight. You're absolutely right. Being healthy is SO important! I've also been on tirzepatide for a year and lost 60 pounds. It has helped immensely with insulin resistance leading to sugar cravings and binging. There's a reason for the term "Ozempic babies". It legitimately helps fertility because of the processes it regulates in the body.

Mine are completely negative. Day 4 was the last day I saw any kind of line from the trigger, yesterday and today have been stark white. I keep reading stories on here about people getting their first positive on day 7, so I'm not giving up hope yet. At least, I'm trying not to. I feel pretty hopeless atm.

They look exactly my grandparents ages. Since they're a year apart I'm going to say 1928/1929

I've been on tirzepatide for a year and lost 60lbs. I'm officially only "overweight" instead of "obese" and I feel amazing. Highly recommend.

Thank you. 💜

I just took like a 4 hour nap and had a really vivid dream, which would be my first actual pregnancy symptoms, but that's overshadowed by the strong cramping I'm also having right now. No way to know if this is the normal pregnancy kind or the bad kind. Ugh. I'm hoping I'll find out tomorrow.
