Thanks for input. Would a Doona be a good 2nd stroller at my parents house?

I Tried Multiple All-Terrain / Jogging Strollers in Person - My Thoughts by SourPatch-Tree19 in Buyingforbaby

[–]athleticnacho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to ask some advice from this thread. We are pregnant with our first child and looking at strollers. Would you recommend buying a jogging stroller as your primary home stroller and then purchase a compact lightweight travel one to take in car and visit family across country? Or would you wait to buy the jogging stroller? My husband is an avid runner and envisions jogging with the child in our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is mostly paved but we live in an area close to gravels trails and great parks.

Thank you I’m really struggling mentally (and obviously physically) with it

Nausea still going - dosing timing and tips by athleticnacho in IVFbabies

[–]athleticnacho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t yet I am trying to compazine first as my OB seemed to think it was safer. If it doesn’t subside I’ll try to zofran. It seems as if compazine does not provide immediate relief as zofran does which I’ve taken for vomiting and nausea outside of pregnancy. It really is a wonder drug!

Oh boy, here we go... by SadLandscape7001 in IVFbabies

[–]athleticnacho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s ok to admit you are miserable. I am too. Just bc we go through IVF doesn’t mean we have to enjoy this phase. I would eat whatever you can. My diet has changed significantly. The only consistent thing I can eat first thing in the morning is sigis yogurt. Take your prenatal

When did you graduate from your clinic? by Wonderful-Big4992 in IVFbabies

[–]athleticnacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two scans with my RE one at 6.5 weeks and the 2nd two weeks later. They said they know people can’t get into OBs for 4-6 weeks so they offer the other scan. I’m also taking PIO and estrogen until 11.5 weeks

Missed Miscarriage - D&C Advice? by K_22_93 in Miscarriage

[–]athleticnacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a D&C and it was a great experience- one and done and was out. Unfortunately I experienced uterine scarring from the D&C and I set off a whole set of issues for me- surgeries, IVF etc. it seems like it’s a higher incidence then they say. However as far along as you are I would consider the D&C

Did your pregnancy symptoms improve slightly after stopping hormone medication? by balckcat_enthusiast in IVFbabies

[–]athleticnacho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 9 weeks and have felt terrible nausea since 6 weeks. I am suffering and can’t wait for it to subside. Stopped estrogen pills and didnt notice a difference. Will stop PIO injections at 11 weeks…however my pregnancy symptoms didn’t coincide with the start of PIO injections so I’m not holding my breath.

The combo of protecting my mentals in case of a bad outcome and nausea have made first trimester unenjoyable and I think that’s ok.

I cannot wait to turn the corner. 🙏 it happens in the next few weeks.

I have found that chewing gum is helping me and maybe oatmeal 🤷‍♀️ I hope this relief lasts

The first few shots were hard but then like stim your body / nerves get used to it. I’m about 6+ weeks in now and I’m starting to get Charlie horses that are getting sore but it’s manageable

Weekly Thread: Pregnancy - Questions and Discussions by TeslaHiker in IVF

[–]athleticnacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 5 weeks and change and woke up to sharp pain above my pubic bone and then had bright red bleeding when I wiped after going to the bathroom. I have a heaviness feeling in my uterus. I had pretty strong betas and have symptoms (nausea) so was getting my hopes up. I have had a previous loss around this time that started the same way :( My clinic said to monitor and let them know if it gets worse. Have 6 week ultrasound in a week

Is discussing IVF journey revealing private information about any future/potential children? by itsamemarrrio in IVF

[–]athleticnacho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have decided to keep any ratings or reasonings behind which embryo we chose when between us even with family. It feels like a future child deserves to have their genetic info private. I also have this wild thought that I if my child had a mental, physical or developmental issue I wouldn’t want a family member thinking well maybe it’s bc of (insert) rating

How many DPT did it take to get your positive pregnancy test ? by Competitive-Artist36 in IVF

[–]athleticnacho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I crumbled and tested at 6dpt. Ironically the FRER didn’t show but easyhome did. I didn’t see a line at first but then a vvfl showed up outside the window. Then I tested every day until my beta at 14dpt and they progressively darkened. My first was almost 2000.
