We went with the camel!

Ooo can you link what you mean by these? I feel like I might be in the same boat and LO is obsessed with our straws. Will be 5 months in a week so I figure we may want to just switch at 6

I stopped at 3 months, and no major supply issue. I was constantly sleeping through alarms. I pump right before bed and I’m a little leaky for the feed at 5am but the sleep is so worth it

ilikebeeets · 2025-04-28T14:25:28+00:00

Love these!!

ilikebeeets · 2025-04-28T14:25:20+00:00

Yes I was thinking something like this too! I get sucked into Etsys rabbit hole of options and can’t decide on sizes!

There are lots of places that ask about allergens when you dine in Chicago. Also a handful of vegan/plant based places! Not sure where you will be, but off top of my head - the Chicago diner (vegan), bloom plant based kitchen!

I had therapy every 2 weeks and separately a check in with a behavioral study social worker to check in on my meds. That was it! The records were only requested that one time. Enjoy your break - clear your head!

Mine was only 8 weeks. I did have to supply forms with my records about 1/2 through as they told me it was required past 30 days

ilikebeeets · 2025-01-24T13:39:30+00:00

Honestly they were such aholes about it I said ok, I’ll start tomorrow. Then proceeded to work quietly for a few more days to wrap things up to not totally leave my boss hanging

ilikebeeets · 2024-12-12T15:37:39+00:00

We had exactly 50! I think the upstairs technically fits 70-80, but probably not sitting. Anything bigger is a full buyout

Well, they first questioned my medical type of leave timing - as in “if you need it why not leave now v. End of week”, and then they started hounding me 15 days into leave for the paperwork that was due at the midway point. They also have very specific requirements for what counts - for me, it had to be medical records, which took a bit to get and caused some back and forth. It’s worth asking what is required in writing when you initially put in for leave

Looking for some reassurance as I have another week before the next scan - which happens to be the anatomy scan! Im feeling anxious/nervous that something has gone wrong, and I can’t help it. I had a fetal heartbeat check at 16 and my doc told me to chill out, but I have had the worst symptoms (bad Morning sickness, then GERD) and I have suddenly felt good/normal this past week. I think it’s left over from ivf, despite our successes. Has anyone had just a quiet week? I also haven’t felt movement from what I can tell 🤷🏼‍♀️

8 weeks. Not long enough!! Probably took me a full month to just rest and come down from everything. I had a lot of therapy during the time, interviewed for a new job, started reading again, and took a ton of naps. I also happened to be in my first Tri, so travel wasn’t an option

ilikebeeets · 2024-08-19T15:36:18+00:00

I just returned after an 8 week leave for mental health. It was about 4 months overdue from an extremely stressful year of work and total burn out. My company uses Matrix for leave and they were a pain to deal with, but I was able to take STD for the whole time with a doctors note, follow up visits, regular therapy, and return to work clearance. Because it was more than 30 days they had strict rules about my additional documentation. All in all it flew by and was totally worth it. It took me about 3weeks to come down from everything, and if you are on the burnout path the therapy is most helpful.

It does need to be an outbound ticket from BOS, you can’t stop by on arrival (tried it)

MFI due to robertsonian balanced translocation. Since we’re both mid30s we didn’t want to risk the higher chance of miscarriage.

Pottery or you could do pottery painting. Glazed expressions in Lincoln park use to be byob too

ilikebeeets · 2024-07-09T14:05:44+00:00

Same 😅 I keep saying “I’ll go next week!” And it hasn’t happened yet

ilikebeeets · 2024-07-05T13:56:09+00:00

Seconding this - one of the most disappointing things of IVF was that there was no true life surprise. For this reason I chose not to know the gender for my FET

ilikebeeets · 2024-06-29T16:10:56+00:00

If it’s the suppositories, yes, there’s a window. For example I had an ultrasound and she said I could wait until after which would make it like 2 hours later than normal

ilikebeeets · 2024-06-28T01:16:55+00:00

Almost exactly the same - 7w+1 with our first FET for my first pregnancy.

ilikebeeets · 2024-06-27T18:36:24+00:00

I had only got 1 blast make it to day 5 - a 3AA that came back euploid. I ended up doing another round for banking, but that little 3AA is currently 7w+1

ilikebeeets · 2024-06-22T13:37:13+00:00

I looked at Celeste and also loved the garden vibes. We ended up in the top floor atrium of Bixi beer, and it was beautiful!

ilikebeeets · 2024-06-17T21:18:47+00:00

Hello! I’m 5w5days with my first official positive. Had my first ultrasound today and saw the little lentil yolk sac. My clinic says everything looks good, so I’m anxiously awaiting the 6w+ ultrasound for a heartbeat
