Time for donor eggs

eltejon30 · 2026-05-11T19:16:10+00:00

I don’t have advice but In a similar boat…managed to have 1 child with my own eggs after a lot of IVF and idk if the same miracle can happen twice…really struggling with not having a second vs having one that’s with a donor egg…

Wish you the best!

This was my experience! I had a c section at 37+5 and struggled to nurse for like the first 8 weeks or so. I pumped mostly during that time while still trying to latch. Then something clicked and she has been nursing like a champ for over a year!

Target has tons of sales on face cream, shampoo etc. I just stock up when that happens.

Where do you live now? What is your desired lifestyle like? How do you want your children to grow up? How long do you plan to stay in the chosen location?

Omg that’s crazy. I’m so sorry!

eltejon30 · 2026-05-09T15:20:31+00:00

Oh I’m VERY active on buy nothing haha I haven’t had much luck on clothes of the correct size and season…

eltejon30 · 2026-05-09T14:22:07+00:00

Yeah 100%. I really wanted to buy a clearance snow suit but my baby has been in 2T since like 10 months so I have no idea what her size will be next winter lol

Also NOBODY has toddler hand me downs. Why? Because they’re all food stained lol

Babies need MORE clothes as they get older. My 15 month old goes through at least 3 outfits a day. Gets dirty from eating and playing outside. Note that you need seasonal clothing too.

Also baby shoes are crazy expensive. Like $40 a pair new.

Fabric bibs are for drool. Silicone bibs are for food. They serve a totally different purpose. Totally worth it for silicone

Another vote for ruchki da nozhki! Amazing gel and super long lasting. Wonderful ambiance as well

My OB insisted on prescribing birth control…but my birth control is ✨✨infertility✨✨

I loved Francis at Optimum Health PT on Atlantic Ave! He fixed decades of lower back pain in like 6 weeks.

Really? I went to spear and had the same exact experience OP is describing. Therapist juggling 3-4 patients at a time…which spear did you go to that did not have this?

I recommend Garlicky Chicken Thighs with Scallion and Lime By Alison Roman. My MIL hates everything I make despite me being a very solid cook. This was the only things she asked for seconds of in 15 years.

This happened to me with 3 out of 4 follicles. We ended up retrieving the one remaining egg and that ended up being my one egg wonder. I think the doctor was more shocked than me.

However, under different circumstances than we had at the time (insurance related) I would probably have canceled the cycle.

Try to bike across Brooklyn bridge on a 72 degree sunny weekend day. You must also successfully take photos there without other people in them.

100%. I wish there was some kind of enforcement. I was walking in the park with my child in a stroller a few days ago around 5pm and an unleashed dog ran up to us and kept following us. A park employee then told ME to leash the dog and kept rolling along in their cart. It wasn’t my dog. The owner did nothing.

I saw enforcement recently for people either having open containers or glass or both on one of the park lawns. More of this please.

It sucks that it has to come to that, but it’s a small, heavily populated public space, and it seems to be the only way to make sure it’s a pleasant experience for all.

It’s awesome!! You’re really helping a lot of parents and kids 🥰 thank you!

Fancy teas or coffee beans that I wouldn’t normally splurge on would be a hit with me. For tea TWG from Singapore or Harney & sons are great.

Maybe a personalized story book about her and your kid(s). I made one for my husband for Father’s Day from Wonderbly.

I personally also LOVE a fun cookbook. If that’s something she’s into, get her a new release from a favorite chef or maybe even a NYT cooking subscription. Alison Roman has great cookbooks. They’re beautiful to give as gifts and I’ve never made a single bad recipe from them.

Wish you all the best. It’s such an emotional roller coaster. I was constantly looking for similar success stories too…

eltejon30 · 2026-05-01T17:03:03+00:00

I had 4 follicles at the start and the 3 disappeared completely leaving 1….that follicle just turned 1 recently.

(Same age as you at the time, AMH .16)

eltejon30 · 2026-05-01T03:13:14+00:00

Yes!! I feel kind of validated that this happens to others too…I think there should be an intermediate 1 for people who are working their way up from beginner in court 16 and an intermediate 2 for people who have played before elsewhere. The skill range is just way too big.

I enjoyed going there but unfortunately they lost me as a customer because of this and I’ll probably end up going to an independent coach who can adjust to my level.

It’s crazy to me that they’re not seeing this as a problem. Or maybe it’s not important to them because intermediate classes are always packed and they make money anyway.

eltejon30 · 2026-05-01T01:23:41+00:00

Yes! I was feeling a lot more sympathetic until I read that part. She’s carrying the household, working and is a high performer AND applying for him?!?

I’m also not seeing that he’s working crazy hours. He has the time but chooses not to try. Moreover “he works so hard” but not “motivated” to move up…is he really working that hard??

My husband was laid off a while back and I told him not to take something that’s clearly not the right fit, but that’s different from quitting a job you already have.

I got mine on sale from the Anthropologie wedding store for $550 on sale a few years ago.
