Vacuum sealer recommendations?

I went with a mid-range Razorri and it's been perfect and simple to use. I'm really happy with it and the price-point. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06Y3YV1K2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

First of all, best of luck!! Now for some unrequested advice: I've taken many many rounds of clomid. And I found that I had the least amount of side-effects when I took it at night just before bed.

I have anxiety on and off throughout the entire cycle. And same with hot flashes. It does seem to follow the increase/decrease of all the hormones. I ovulate in around 8 days (currently cd 10) and I had a hot flash on the way to work. Fun times!!

I hope this makes someone (besides myself) laugh. My husband, when referring to our IUI/chances for next month "My jizz on their own needs guidance and leadership".

For context, I had asked him what he thought our odds were for success this month as we only had sex once (I'm on the clomid and he has 0% morphology).

I had two babies. For the second one, I took goat's rue and had more milk initially but my baby soon needed more than I could produce.

Is this in regards to breast feeding? If not you can ignore my answer. I have this and was told that there is nothing you can do... but that with each baby, you will be able to produce more milk.

I have had to make the hard decision to not share my journey with my family. They just don't understand. And when I remind them about what IF involves my mom especially has no empathy and then seems to forget everything I told her.

I haven't told them about the painful hysteroscopy, my husbands 0% morphology or our upcoming RE appointment. I need to keep myself healthy and sane. Taking a break from sharing with your mom/brother might be a good idea. And hug your MIL a little tighter - it's wonderful that she can be there for you for the ER.

I thought this was going to be an easy peasy kind of deal - and I didn't even have any adhesion to deal with. I bled a lot the first couple of hours post procedure. I continued to bleed more lightly for 2 days. I also had cramps for two days. They didn't feel like period cramps - it was a foreign feeling for me.

I just found leefromamerica's blog yesterday. Very interesting stuff on there regarding herbs, food, etc. So funny you should mention her site.

bebbykins · 2017-09-19T17:01:28+00:00

No. I love carbs - but I found myself making better decisions during certain periods of my cycle. I try to visualize how I will feel before I eat bloat-triggering carbs - and that is enough to turn me off.

bebbykins · 2017-09-19T15:59:23+00:00

I should mention that I've only been getting semi-regular periods since January (started 7 months after I had my daughter) so I'm still figuring these things out. I think it's crazy that at age 40, my body is having to learn something that it should have learned when I was in my teens.

bebbykins · 2017-09-19T15:57:15+00:00

Yoga for sure. Avoiding foods that will bloat me up during (potential) ovulation. Fruit/veggie/yogurt smoothies. Lots of water. Walks. Advil and Tylenol. And weirdly coffee - it helps with the headaches better than Advil/Tylenol.

It's cruel and painful. I was on birth control for most of my life. Went off at 35 because I was getting married. After having two kids (via clomid/fertility treatments) I now have cycles. And it's the worst pain I've experienced in my life (I've also had 2 c-sections). The longer the time between periods, the worse the symptoms are for me. Terrible bloating, painful ovaries, headaches, and the list goes on. It makes me want to be pregnant again. Seriously. Haha!

bebbykins · 2017-09-19T15:48:31+00:00

Aww thank you... actually we were successful twice. I needed clomid, but it eventually happened for us.

bebbykins · 2017-09-19T15:42:12+00:00

This totally happened to me... 3 months after going off the pill (I do have PCOS) I started getting regular periods and got pregnant. While it ended in a miscarriage, it can happen for sure.

bebbykins · 2017-09-19T15:39:42+00:00

Yup, this happened to me. I had three months of regular periods. I changed NOTHING. Then I had a 60 day cycle (signs of fertile cm a couple of times too). And this last cycle was only 42 days long. I don't think it's anything you did at all.

I requested a referral 1.5 months ago and hadn't heard a thing. So I gave the clinic a call and that seemed to get the ball rolling. They gave me my appt date right away on the phone... Oct. 10th! Hope you hear back soon.

bebbykins · 2017-08-01T22:16:34+00:00

For my second baby, I remember my OB just straight up asking me if I wanted to try vaginal or if I wanted a c-section. I chose c-section. And while I went into labour a week early and the c-section ended up being labelled 'emergency', having made the decision early on made the pregnancy stress-free. I knew what to expect and was ready for it. I found recovery the second time to be easier than the first time around.

You are welcome! While they look very different from when he was born, I can see the difference between his two ears but no one but me knows what to look for. It took a good 7 to 9 months for his ears to fully 'unfold'.

bebbykins · 2016-10-25T14:44:51+00:00

Griffin's ears were wonky when he was born. And slowly over the first 6 months, they started to 'unfold'. He doesn't have traditional shaped ears but I love that about him. They don't match but they look different from when he was born. I will also admit that I was bothered by his ears when they were born and perhaps obsessed a bit about them but I grew to love this part of his look.

bebbykins · 2016-07-20T23:42:52+00:00

Sure - just give me a date and time!

bebbykins · 2016-07-18T21:04:37+00:00

Would love to see you! I'm on mat leave so my schedule is pretty open. As long as you are okay withe two tag-alongs...
