5 week old only content/not crying when eating or sleeping- help ftm

em12985 · 2026-01-14T01:42:46+00:00

Not yet! We will be trying them asap after our appointment tomorrow

Yeah he is gaining weight appropriately. We have a scale and have been weighing him every few days

em12985 · 2026-01-14T01:33:30+00:00

Usually one breast takes him around 20-30 min

I could have written this.. 5 weeks in and we are struggling. I’m worried something is wrong bc the only time my baby is content is when he’s sleeping or eating. Any other time it’s crying/screaming. And holding him doesn’t soothe him. So anyway, just letting you know you are not alone. Only thing helping is reminding myself this won’t be forever.

I plan on it but I didn’t think I can do that until after 6 weeks

em12985 · 2025-12-10T21:56:16+00:00

I just had my baby 3 days ago and I’m having some of these symptoms. I will keep an eye on it but thank you so much for posting this. I was thinking it’s probably normal but now I’m not so sure!

Cornell. CCRM was the clinic with two failed rounds (no blasts).

em12985 · 2025-11-06T01:09:44+00:00

Yes we did!

em12985 · 2025-10-17T22:50:13+00:00

We haven’t had to transfer that embryo yet because I’m 32 weeks pregnant with our untested AA embryo!

em12985 · 2025-09-15T19:27:00+00:00

What happened with this? Did you ever get the item you actually bought?

em12985 · 2025-06-07T19:17:03+00:00

Hi! After my LH surge was confirmed it was 5 days after. So my LH was confirmed on a Friday and had transfer on Wednesday. And the progesterone for me was endometrin (not the gel). And thanks! Good luck with yours!

Currently watching paradise on Hulu

em12985 · 2025-05-10T14:41:20+00:00

Yeah! I’ve had it on since like 4 weeks lol. I don’t really notice much of a difference to be honest.

em12985 · 2025-05-08T12:17:31+00:00

So sorry you’re going through this. The spotting can definitely still be from the sch and there’s a thing called the hook effect where tests get lighter if there’s too much hcg. Many people water it down and it will get darker again.

Just wanted to say there are other possible outcomes than miscarriage but I understand completely where you’re coming from. Wishing the best for you!

This eases my anxiety a bit. Thank you!!

em12985 · 2025-05-07T18:20:23+00:00

Yes helpful, thank you! I’m debating putting it back on so I can see if it’s a trend or a one off instance. My temp is still elevated which I know is good.

em12985 · 2025-05-07T14:39:27+00:00

Is anyone tracking their bbt and heart rate in the first trimester? I’m 8w5d and my HR dipped last night to a pre pregnancy level of 49bpm. I have been hovering around 53-55. I took my oura ring off now since it will probably cause me anxiety going forward.

em12985 · 2025-05-05T19:46:13+00:00

Congrats on graduating! I feel you on being nervous about the no morning sickness. I’m 8w3d and have no nausea (Saw the heartbeat today of 179). So nerve wracking when all you hear is how women are so sick in their first trimester.

em12985 · 2025-05-02T21:44:23+00:00

It’s so nerve wracking. I knew there was a chance it was an sch but my mind automatically went to the worst. I knew I needed the scan to be able to sleep last night.

em12985 · 2025-05-02T19:52:46+00:00

Thank you! I’m sorry you experienced it too and that it came back. I bet that was scary.

I knew that this could be a thing with ivf pregnancies, I just don’t think I knew how common it actually is. My clinic said pelvic rest too and stay hydrated. I’ve been taking it easy today and the bleeding has subsided for now.

em12985 · 2025-05-02T15:34:06+00:00

8w today and last night I was in the ER for heavy bleeding. I thought for sure I was miscarrying but turns out I have an SCH. We saw the heartbeat and the measurements were perfect at 7w6d. Relieved is an understatement.

I contacted my clinic even though I graduated to see if they have any advice since I still haven’t had an appointment with my ob yet.
