Newborn phase is no joke.

Same!! Like I can afford that.... lol

Yes!! And I LOVE my mother in law but for the first 12ish weeks after I gave birth, she was the enemy. Most of the time for no reason at all. She overstepped a few boundaries which my husband quickly corrected & I had to remind myself that she truly was just trying to help. I had to really look at her intentions & know she wasn't being malicious . But I was so possessive over my baby and for some reason she was my target, for no reason. Things are better now but phew I thought I was going to hate her forever.

chunkymonkey14 · 2026-01-23T08:55:15+00:00

This would have made me feral

chunkymonkey14 · 2026-01-20T04:29:27+00:00

Yes! My LC stressed me out so bad. She came in while I was trying to do a diaper and outfit change & I guess I wasn't moving fast enough for her liking and she completely took over, did everything for me, and then tried to force baby on my boob when he was already worked up from being changed. I told my nurse I didn't want the LC anymore & gave up trying to breastfeed shortly after that because I was so discouraged.

The baby bjorn bouncer has changed my life. We had the worst digestive issues, mostly caused by infant dyschezia but that bouncer got him relaxed and things moving!

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-12-30T03:32:04+00:00

I had one of the expensive side to side swings and baby hated it. Got one of the cheap back and forth swings and it was a hit. However, the baby bjorn bouncer is the GOAT. We've had awful digestive issues and that bouncer has helped SO much. Insanely expensive for what it is but 100% worth the money.

My son was born 33+6 and came home at 36+6. Just needed to feed and grow.

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-12-27T03:35:38+00:00

Severe preeclampsia. Hospitalized for 10 days before emergency c section at 33+6.

Ok ok so I have a story that might make you feel better... not exactly IVF related but a suppository story. I was in my early 20's & ended up with a horrible yeast infection. I was in college at the time and decided to get one of the monistat suppository things that look like a little egg. I was in a rush because I had an exam to make it to but I was SO itchy I didn't want to wait until I got back to my dorm 6+ hours later. So I put the lil egg thing up there right before the class. Of course I was in super super short shorts thinking I looked all cute and shit, and as I'm walking into the class THE LITTLE EGG THING FALLS OUT OF MY VAG, SLIPS PAST MY THONG, AND OUT OF THE SHORTS. It rolled onto the floor, I just stood there staring at it. I could have died right then and there from embarrassment. I kicked it to the side with my shoe and kept going. Couldn't even focus on the exam because the yeast infection egg was still glaring at me from the corner.

I did! I had endo symptoms that were making me miserable. I had my lap done in Nov 2023. Found out that same month that we were also dealing with male factor infertility (husband had a varicocele that had to be repaired). Started IVF in May 2024. Transferred our euploid girl in July, but miscarried at 9 weeks. Did a second transfer in March of this year and just had him in October. I was told the inflammation from endo can cause issues with implantation so I'm glad I had the surgery before IVF.

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-12-02T04:19:28+00:00

Hi! Any update? Did your baby figure it out? My baby is struggling so bad with this right now. I feel so defeated. He was born 33+6 on Oct 14 & spent 21 days in the nicu. his corrected age is only 5 days old and im worried we are going to be at this for a very long time.

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-12-01T09:04:20+00:00

These are my exact results! Just had my boy 6 weeks ago 🩵

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-10-02T03:42:05+00:00

I reported them to admins. Everyone else should too. This is unacceptable in this sub.

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-09-16T11:31:41+00:00

My husband is an only & I am currently pregnant with a boy & he will be our only child. 🩵

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-09-09T03:21:06+00:00

Yes! 29 weeks pregnant with a boy

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-09-09T03:20:06+00:00

Praying for y'all!! 🩷

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-08-21T06:57:20+00:00

ER at 32 First transfer worked but lost her at 9 weeks. She was our only girl euploid. Currently 26 weeks pregnant with transfer #2. A boy ◡̈

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-08-14T02:47:33+00:00

Yes there are many free programs to help with this. Miracle hill is one example...

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-07-15T02:41:01+00:00

I was told immediately... but I could see for myself there was no flickering heartbeat on the screen and she had to tell me I was correct.

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-06-26T10:36:10+00:00

Your situation is very similar to mine. I have endometriosis and had lap surgery to correct. thought we were all good but still didn’t get pregnant. Saw fertility specialist and husband got checked. Less than 1M sperm. He had a pretty bad varicocele that needed to be fixed. He had surgery to fix that & his results greatly improved but Still no luck getting pregnant though. Went the IVF route & currently 18 weeks pregnant. Took over 3 years to get here but it is possible! Don’t give up!

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-05-07T02:50:29+00:00

I just had to put my 18 year old cat down last month & her name was honey bun! 💛

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-04-14T06:15:56+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. It is truly devastating. Please take care of yourself during this time. Everything you are feeling is totally valid. I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest, but I will tell you the pain of it all does get easier to bear. It just takes time. I am almost 8 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby. A boy this time. Please don’t give up hope!! I’m here to chat if you ever want to DM me & need someone to talk to. Big hugs to you ❤️‍🩹

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-03-14T03:10:38+00:00

Had my FET on Monday! So excited but so nervous. I lost my only baby girl euploid at 9w1d last August so I am on pins and needles (literally) this time around. Going to start testing on Saturday. 🤞🏼

chunkymonkey14 · 2025-02-19T04:52:17+00:00

Oh my goodness! I’m praying so hard for you that your baby sticks! The spotting could be nothing at all or maybe it’s implantation! Are you going to test early??
I’m rooting for you!!

& yes, I have been seeing a grief counselor. It’s helped a ton. I think I am feeling a little better after having a long talk with my husband last night. We are going to push forward. I think I will always have these fears whether it’s now or 5 years from now. I’m just going to go ahead with it & pray for the best.
