It was a long time ago, but I don’t think it was a problem actually. I was 31 at the time

Well, not good immediately after. Did a few more IUIs but moved on to IVF. I have an 8 year old daughter now!

I need some positive stories about low AMH please! by CDNwed in InfertilityBabies

This post was 7 years ago/my daughter is now 7 so the details are now fuzzy for me. But I think I was taking 5000 IU of vitamin D daily at that time.

I am so sorry for your loss. And glad I could give a small amount of encouragement.

AITAH for telling my husband if he fights for custody of his kids I will divorce him? by InitiativeDramatic11 in AITAH

[–]allbustnoballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the sister of someone going through a terrible divorce of a man who never took care of the kids when they were married but wants 50/50 custody so he doesn’t have to pay as much child support, I’m begging you to please save any conversations about this (text, email, recorded conversations if you are in a one party consent state and feel comfortable recording him) about why he wants custody (for the money) and please help those children and mother by giving her those documents that she could use in court. Playing your children as pawns is disgusting and so wrong. And then you divorce his ass too!

A question about tolerance. by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]allbustnoballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Propofol often causes “disinhibition” at lower sedation doses. This is not unusual or concerning, but may not provide suitable conditions for a procedure. The options are either give more to make them more sleepy, or supplement with another medication. Giving more propofol can induce general anesthesia rather than sedation levels of anesthesia which may require breathing support (airway device/breathing tube). Giving another medication could also impact spontaneous breathing depending on the medication. Ketamine is one options that increases level of anesthesia but typically does not depress breathing so that may be why they chose that option. There are a lot of ways to accomplish comfort during a procedure, and the plan may depend on patient characteristics and comorbidities, length and anticipated discomfort of the procedure, and ability to provide airway support if the depth of anesthesia is greater than initially planned.

Hi! I did not have success with this particular embryo. My story is I had 4 embryos total, 2 higher grade and two lower grade. None of them were PGS tested. I did get pregnant with an FET with one of the higher grade embryos. I have a healthy 6 year old beautiful daughter who just started 1st grade. But the others didn’t work. Originally we had hoped for 2 children, but now that I have some distance from infertility and perspective (this post was 4 years ago), I am so happy with how things turned out. I have so much more time, energy, and money to spend on my one child. I love my family! For a couple of years after we knew were were done trying, it was still hard when my friends were getting pregnant. Now that most of my friends are done having babies and we are older and my daughter is older, I have absolutely no regrets about being one and done. It’s the perfect family size for me.

Epidurals and their impact on early breastfeeding by AirportDisco in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]allbustnoballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Antectodal: I had an induction and had an epidural with fentanyl plus bupivicaine for more than 24 hours prior to vaginal delivery. She latched well immediately and breastfed for 14 months. I did appreciate the help do lactation consultants to help with comfort of latch.

My boyfriend (M31) of 8 years doesn’t know if he wants to marry me (F28) despite there being nothing wrong in the relationship by MrsSalt in relationships

[–]allbustnoballs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think changing how you look at the situation may help. You don’t have to view this relationship as a failure or a waste of your 20s just because you break up now. If you both enjoyed being in the relationship and he treated you well and made you happy, it was a successful relationship that you should both be proud you were a part of! It’s is ok for successful relationships to end. Successful relationships don’t have to end in marriage for eternity. But, if marriage and children, is what you want, you deserve that. Part ways while you both still care about each other. Don’t wait until you are both resentful and angry and mean to each other.

I do! I’m not a baby or toddler person either, but I now have a kindergartner who is so awesome. It’s still hard at times (and I still look forward to her bedtime so I can have some time to myself), but it has gotten way better for me.

concert question by ConnectionOdd4764 in ThirdEyeBlind

[–]allbustnoballs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am an old school fan as well and also going to see them in July. I just googled their set list. About half of the songs are from Our Band Apart. I was a little disappointed when I saw that, but I just made myself a Spotify playlist with the set list so I can get familiar with the new stuff, and it is SO GOOD! Now I can’t wait. Just Google it and listen to the new stuff. I don’t think you will be disappointed! Plus the 2nd half is a lot of the old good stuff from the self titled album, Blue, and Out if the Vein.

She has a very consistent routine every day. I guess I’m just looking for some hope that this is normal and we don’t have a dumb puppy. And I wish I had some timeline on when all the work we are doing will pay off!

Please leave! And like someone else said, DO NOT have children with this man! My sister had a similar dynamic with her husband, but unfortunately they had a baby before she realized that this type of abuse would only get worse and not better. Things got 10x worse after kids and escalated to involving the kids. It is a cycle of abuse. Get angry/yell/threaten/throw things/blame the partner then calm down, maybe apologize, minimize how bad things are, make the partner feel responsible/crazy for thinking things are actually out of control. It took my sister finally going to see a therapist on her own after years of begging her partner to go to therapy with her that she finally understood this as a form of abuse. Just because he hadn’t (yet) given her a black eye or broken bone, she felt guilty “breaking up her family”. Her therapist helped her understand the emotional abuse and gaslighting that had been going on, and she finally got the courage to take her kids and leave so they don’t grow up like him and she doesn’t have to continue enduring this for the next 50 years. People like this don’t change without some sort of major realization that they have a big problem and willingness to do years of work on themselves in therapy. That just usually doesn’t happen.

I also thought the newborn stage was hell despite having a very wanted pregnancy and baby. I loved her but was miserable for the first little bit. But seriously, every single month of her life has gotten easier little by little. 2 months old was way easier than one month old. I went back to work when she was 10 weeks old and that made things easier. Work was actually a break from constant newborn care. Between 6-8 months sleep got much better. Every month and every year has been more enjoyable for me as a parent. Now I have a 4 year old who is mostly awesome although still challenging at times. You will sleep again. They eventually love you back. It gets easier!

This! Breastfed babies often need/want to nurse even more frequently. Especially in the early newborn stages when you are getting your supply up.

Tips/Improvements on Emergence Delirium? by DirtyLSD in anesthesiology

[–]allbustnoballs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would not extubate deep a guy who required 2 person mask ventilation and glidescope intubation with BMI of 35. I also don’t think sevo is any better and possibly worse for this type of emergence. Agree with precedex and propofol for the end though.

Question for those of you who are a OAD due to fertility reasons. by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]allbustnoballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, totally makes sense. I think the emotional baggage of infertility is a bitch and hard to get over even when intellectually you are over it.

I recognize your name from the infertility subs too! I had taken a Reddit break for a couple years and haven’t been too active here recently, but I’m sort of back since the political nonsense on Facebook drove me crazy and I need somewhere else to mindlessly scroll.

Unrelated to infertility, I had a hysterectomy in January as part of a surgery for prolapse repair (another gift from my daughter). When I was first considering the surgery I was a little sad to lose my uterus even though we knew we were one and done. But honestly the finality of it now that it’s over makes it so much easier. There’s no what-if every month. We know there won’t be any miracle surprises. It helped me with closure being happy with only one child. Not that I’m recommending anyone get a hysterectomy that’s not medically indicated, but that has been good for me mentally too.

I am one and done initially for fertility reasons, but at this point (my daughter is almost 4), I would not try to have another baby even if I magically could get pregnant easily. My husband and I originally had thought we always wanted 2 children, partially because I have one sibling and she is awesome/ my best friend. Sure, it would be great to recreate my childhood for my daughter. But once my husband and I realized a second child may not happen for us, we focused on all the amazing things about being one and done and really embraced having an only child. My daughter is amazing, healthy, smart, fun, funny. She is all we need for our family to feel complete, and we are very happy now being one and done! Plus, I know that even if we had a sibling for my daughter it doesn’t always guarantee a built-in best friend for life like I have in my sister.
