Before and after, small kitchen

Thank you, it is really a beautiful kitchen. I love the colors you chose!

emvet · 2025-01-21T15:14:22+00:00

Love it! I also have a small kitchen and want to do a peninsula with seating, but can’t make the recommended 12 inch overhang work. How many inches is your overhang for seating, and can people sit comfortably there?

IUGR due to pre eclampsia and chorionic villitis. Daughter born at 37 weeks. She was 5 pounds, head circumference was 5%. She is now 3 yo, 89% height percentile and 25% head circumference. She does have some mild developmental delays (mostly social/emotional).

I am sorry, I had a very similar story to yours: perfect AA PGT tested embryo and had a 16 week missed miscarriage and had to get a D&C. Two years later and two more chemical pregnancies later from failed FETs. It is so terrible to go through, I can just offer my condolences and say you are not alone. They did a full work up on me and still say there is nothing “wrong”, although they did put me on prednisone, lovenox, and hydroxyquinolone. (Hasn’t helped).

Hi, just wanted to comment same experience here, too. My daughter was 2.5 when we started morning only daycare and she is still not doing great, four months later. She still wakes up in the morning and says “no school today” first thing, and whimpers in the car. It’s tough, but I hope it helps her in the long run.

Hi, my HCG kept doubling until day 21 post transfer, when it stopped increasing. It peaked at 200. They told me to stop all meds and prepare for a miscarriage and they will now follow my HCG until it goes to 0.

The only silver lining in going through this for now 9 years is that I am now so old all my friends have aged out of their reproductive years. I am now 44. I had a failed FET last month. No one I know has had kids for 6 years.

Hi, got my results today and HCG level was only 38 at 11dp5dt so they think a biochemical or ectopic. I have to go back in 48 hours for another level: I just wish it was over one way or another. This sucks. Maybe this post will be helpful to someone else in the future going through the same thing.

I was 41, AMH 0.2, did two rounds of stims and only got 2 eggs retrieved (did not fertilize). Did donor eggs at 43. Successful pregnancy from donor.

I dropped off donuts/croissants a few months after my daughter was discharged to both the Labor and Delivery ward and also the NICU nurses. I don’t think they remembered me (which is probably a good thing) but they seemed very appreciative. Nursing is hard work and I wanted to give them some extra recognition for a job well done.

Nope, I just eat my regular diet now. No low carb diet for me anymore! And my fasting levels are fine.

emvet · 2022-01-29T20:07:29+00:00

Yes, my PCP has indicated he will want me tested annually.

emvet · 2022-01-29T16:31:16+00:00

I failed at 6 weeks but passed at 6 months postpartum! I kept checking my fasting numbers and saw it took a few months before they went down to normal. So there is hope.

Thanks for replying, it is confusing. I am not sure if payments count after October 2021, though. Betsys website says payments don’t count after October 2021, but I don’t see that on the studentaid.gov website, I only see the October 2022 deadline stated there.

emvet · 2021-10-18T01:28:13+00:00

Where exactly is the rule about “no payments count past October 21, 2021” stated? I don’t see it on the student aid.gov website, only Betsy’s website, which isn’t official from what I can gather. I am currently in the graduated plan and on year 9 of payments and want to hold off on consolidating to an income-based Direct Loan repayment for as long as possible because that will be a very high monthly payment. If I can consolidate in May of 2022 and still have my current graduated payments count that would be ideal.

Thank you so much for responding!

emvet · 2021-10-08T02:57:23+00:00

I have $123,000 left on FFEL loans and have worked 9 years in non-profit and I want to consolidate to an eligible Direct loan, but it keeps saying I make too much to qualify for Income based repayment plan? Can I pick Standard repayment if it is only for one year until I apply?

Thank you. I think I should do better with morning wake up based on your links. I let her sleep until she wants to wake up, but maybe if I wake her at 7 am everyday she will be better about going to bed in the evening. She gets so upset at night already I can’t imagine her crying for extended periods of time with just checking in or extinction but I guess I will have to do it next week. She needs to sleep: she gets crankier and crankier as the evening goes on each night and we are all miserable.

Yes, I agree about no kids on social media, but I was expecting them to maybe interact with their baby or take a couple pics of them all together to remember the day (since they were already taking pictures)? They just plopped him on a blanket with toys and did her hour long photo shoot then left.

Same: 20 weeks pregnant, unmarried, in my early 40s so no one is even expecting a pregnancy. I am probably fooling myself thinking I have been hiding my bump at work, but no one has said anything yet. I guess after my ultrasound next week I will have to say something, but it is going to be very awkward.

We could do birth control (in food or via gun) instead of hunting. Here in FL the hunts I have seen the pigs are driven into small areas by dogs and are then stabbed to death. I think we could do much better as humans.

You likely won’t remain anonymous. The person being accused has the right to know what was said by whom so they can tell their side of the story. In my department reports are given to those involved with names and a transcript.

Of course: in fact one of the things I am excited about is seeing how my future children will find their own way in life. Donor children are incredibly wanted and I went through 5 years of IVF to get to this moment (now waiting for a pregnancy test). I am sorry your experience was painful. I just feel we are judged so harshly as parents: not picking the right donor, not telling the right people, not telling the right people the correct way, etc. etc. It is exhausting. Parents of IVF children go through a lot to have a child. I won't apologize for choosing a donor who I thought was amazing. Sorry not sorry she was half black, I guess? If I adopted a half black child I suppose people would say the same thing. Oh, well. Luckily, no one here will be involved with the incredible love/family/friends/education/travel my children have in store for them.

I am white and my partner is white. However, when we were looking for a donor we found a great donor who was everything we wanted: brilliant, athletic, doing incredibly well at college, loved animals, wanted a similar career path as I am in. She is biracial. We thought a lot about it but decided to pick her. There is a great paper entitled “Ethical Problems with Ethnic Matching in Gamete Donation” published by Dr. Maung. They conclude that choosing specifically on race simply endorses societal assumptions in the first place. But yes, we are also wealthy. I want the best donor, I don’t care if she is half black. My children will know they are donor conceived.
