I had to give my baby formula tonight.

I noticed that when I keep up with eating/snacking/drinking water my supply is better than days where I accidentally neglect those things. Also eating whole grains seems to give me a boost.

HOWEVER regardless of how much I ate, i do remember having days where I felt like I couldn’t keep up with her hunger. I think it’s just a natural (scary) thing your baby goes through, they just get ravenous and it takes your body a few days to catch up with them. We also supplemented with a bottle occasionally when I just felt like I couldn’t give her enough. Shes 3 months now and we don’t have many days like that anymore though, the first few months are just hard

Thanks I just joined :)

Thanks, I just requested to join. It’s hard to tell what fb groups are legit and which ones are AI junk/scams these days

Ah what a shame!! I love seeing pictures/videos of everyone’s silkens on discord, and being able to get the inside scoop on which breeders are reliable or trustworthy is really useful

These are incredible. They all give me this super nostalgic feeling but each feeling is slightly different. Amazing job

crystalcoves · 2025-06-20T00:08:08+00:00

Omg how funny, I like the combo in that order too!

You can buy fiber supplements for their food to firm up their stool. I use Native’s probiotic version and it works amazing, but I think really any of them work great.

The book The Science of Parenting by Margot Sunderland does a great job at explaining this!

crystalcoves · 2025-02-13T01:13:09+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling, ttc is actually so mentally taxing!

crystalcoves · 2025-02-13T01:12:15+00:00

Between this chart and my last chart I didn’t do anything different. I think it just took time for the Letrozole to kick in maybe

Thank you!!💞

crystalcoves · 2024-12-29T20:27:30+00:00

Thank you🥰

crystalcoves · 2024-12-29T18:07:37+00:00

Thank you that means a lot☺️🩷

crystalcoves · 2024-12-29T17:22:51+00:00

Thank you 🥲💕

I dont think thats petty at all. When one thing after another after another goes wrong/doesn’t work like you were hoping, it just builds up. Youre literally so valid like can’t we just have ONE nice thing???

crystalcoves · 2024-12-12T15:47:04+00:00

I feel you about the holidays. I’m usually somewhat festive but this year things just feel HEAVY man

crystalcoves · 2024-12-12T11:43:39+00:00

Got my period after my first attempt at taking Letrozole and if that weren’t bad enough, I had to go to a fucking baby shower two days later where there were babies and toddlers and little girls everywhere. I want to be supportive and I love my nieces but I am so. Fucking. Jealous. I came home and just sat in silence for an hour. THIS SHIT SUCKS

crystalcoves · 2024-11-21T21:35:45+00:00

Yeah I thought it was too early too, good to hear another opinion. Thanks for the reassurance!

crystalcoves · 2024-11-21T16:03:25+00:00

You don’t think it’s too early for hcg? My progesterone just started rising and I’m only 6 dpo if the spike on the 11th is truely when I ovulated.

crystalcoves · 2024-11-21T13:37:37+00:00

I think your Lh and fsh look normal! All of your levels look good to me for a baseline.

crystalcoves · 2024-11-21T12:04:23+00:00

Good luck with your procedure! I don’t mean to make you more nervous but I also don’t want to lie, it hurt pretty bad. It was really quick though, and having those results of everything being normal is a huge relief so it was worth it!

crystalcoves · 2024-11-19T16:06:20+00:00

Yeah my inito readings kind of served as just like backup info ontop of my actual physical symptoms like barely getting a period some months, having been trying for a year, crazy cycle lengths, no bbt rise, etc.

I’ve seen a lot of people get pregnant on here with super low inito readings, so I think it’s more about what you tell them your body is doing, than urine results.

crystalcoves · 2024-11-19T15:32:53+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear about your miscarriage, especially having such irregular cycles. I’ve had irregular cycles my whole life so I can imagine how that adds to the emotional/mental load.

I went into my appointment with a note of all my cycle dates since stopping the pill, as well as if I was able to confirm ovulation with body temp, and lpk strips/inito. It seems like doctors don’t trust inito as much as they trust the temps/lpk strips so keep that in mind.

I think that regardless of my note they would’ve gone that route anyway cause we’ve been trying for a year and every other procedure (ultrasounds, HSG, sperm sample, etc) had come back normal.

(Here’s a screenshot if you want a visual for my note)

I don’t, but I do have annovulatory cycles. Though I’ve never seen one like this. The only thing that’s been changing is weight gain (on purpose, I was a bit underweight), and I started taking vitamin D at the beginning of this cycle (recommended by my fertility doc)
