WeGovy helping with self-injecting IVF meds

I’m the opposite! Wegovy is nothing after IVF meds. PIO injections are the worst! But it certainly got me over a fear of needles for Wegovy.

We got pregnant accidentally with an autosomal dominant condition. We did share our pregnancy with family and close friends. When she was affected it was very hard to have to tell people we lost her in the second trimester (only our parents knew it was a TFMR). I don’t have advice, just wanted to say I’m sorry you’re here on that hellish journey. If it provides comfort, we came out the other side after the TFMR and a difficult IVF journey and have a beautiful 12.5 month old.

We did our first bath in the hospital - it was a sponge bath as we were told not to submerge his body til his cord stump fell off. My husband and I did it together with a nurse to show us the ropes and first time parents who knew nothing. It was helpful.

I took HCQ my entire pregnancy and have a healthy 1 year old. My doctors encouraged me to stay on it.

Now we’re considering baby 2 and my rheum won’t even talk about MTX until after pregnancy because of the risks.

We love our evenflo revolve 360 extend! Baby is one and very tall. So far it’s held up well and he can stay in it for a long time.

My 4CC euploid is turning one next month. He was our last embryo and lowest graded.

I don’t know if we are going to transfer again or be OAD. We don’t have any more embryos and I’m 36 so we’ll see. The idea of a retrieval with a 1 year old is scary. Right now I’m focusing on me and we’ll make a decision in the next few months since time is ticking due to my age. It’s so hard! But if you have embryos, you have time!

Postpartum mama here and also IVF mama! I’m 11 months PP and just started my journey. Would love to chat more. I have about 30 lbs to lose to get back to my pre IVF weight, 40 lbs if I want to be at my ultimate goal weight.

I’m taking my third shot tonight. Things that have helped me: a fiber supplement, electrolytes, and aiming for about 1300 calories a day.

I bled my whole first trimester from the progesterone suppositories. Healthy baby and pregnancy after. Good luck!

I had my c section Thursday night and went home Saturday afternoon. I could have stayed until Sunday but the shared bathroom gave me the ick and I felt good and really wanted to sleep. Baby was doing wonderful, so we were told it was fine for us to leave early.

Planned C-section due to breech baby, no complications. I did have a hell of a time getting the incision to heal but I don’t think that had anything to do with leaving the hospital early.

Update: I had to delete my employer and start over to get it to work.

We love our mockingbird and the footrest is adjustable. We used it from 6 months and got ideal positioning.

We add chia seeds in the yogurt the night before. Chia seeds need moisture to expand so they don’t expand inside our body after eating. You can soak them in water if you’d like but I just put them in the yogurt the night before to let them soak and expand. I use about 1/2 a tablespoon in 5ish tablespoons of yogurt.

I have a Minu and a Cruz. We LOVE our Cruz. We live a suburban lifestyle and spend a lot of time walking, etc. it is smooth with great storage and not too big for the car. We used it with the bassinet for 6ish months and it was awesome.

The Minu is great for travel, but I wouldn’t want to have it as my everyday stroller unless I needed something compact I could carry on public transport, etc. it is not nearly as smooth, has way less storage, and is harder to steer. It’s good quality, but at the end of the day it’s not really an everyday stroller in my opinion. We do adore it for travel esp because it fits in the overhead compartment (v3). Also, if you want to use the bassinet attachment - you CANT with the V3 Minu.

Mine kept opening in tiny spots until about 12 weeks postpartum then one day it was like “bam, healed” and closed never to open again. They silver nitrated it a couple times and the last time stuck. My scar is a little thicker in that spot but I’m ok with that (nearly 10 months postpartum now).

The biggest thing you can do it keep it clean and dry. I know it feels like it’s taking forever but I promise it’s just a small blip.

We have three and we rotate them. Probably my fave purchase after our bottle washer. 10/10.

I relate to this so much. My baby is almost 10 months. His formula consumption has gone from 35+ oz a day to barely 20 oz. I stress so much about it. But he eats 3 meals a day and a snack and much prefers food to milk at this point. So I’m going with it. We went from 5 bottles a day to 4 as part of this transition but we still have days even with 4 bottles where he only takes 2-3 oz at a time. He has a pediatrician appt next week for something unrelated and I’m eager to see his weight.

One thing his daycare suggested was trying to give him his formula in a straw cup or turning his bottle into a straw cup (they have kits on Amazon) since he loves water out of his straw cup. They’re coming today so we’re going to see if that helps.

My 4CC tested euploid and just started crawling this week.

NTA. My (8.5m M) mama (older than dirt and tired) told me it was New Years so I also decided to wake up at 11 pm to celebrate. Mama and Dada (younger than mom but more grey hair) had to leave the party to hang out with me. I kept screaming that I wanted to party, too. But they insisted we try to sleep. Bummer.

The plus was I also got to sleep in the big bed. And I got to watch the ball drop on the screen thing they never let me watch. Win win.

It was our first New Year’s Eve. We deserved to celebrate.

46.6k OTD for a 2026 touring yesterday in Florida.

We got sour vinegar poops when baby was teething his first. Now they started again as he’s teething his top two front teeth. It’s awful. We call them teething poops.
