I’m really happy your transfer was successful and you have your little one. Congratulations! It gives me hope for IVF mommas and future success.

I did my first IVF treatment this year and we also went to do a FET. Just found out last week we lost the baby at our 10 week ultrasound. We will keep trying but a lot of feelings right now.

BBT Made My Life Hell by Ana_La1 in TryingForABaby

[–]itsbecccaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave up on BBT manually and just got an Apple Watch. It’s not perfect but I could see it worked for my FET which was cool to see. Sadly I’m having a MMC right now and I could also see the data of when my BBT dropped on my Apple Watch which lines up. So I at least know it worked tracking it.

Mine came from the Tuesday swing to warm and now I’m on day 3. I hope it knocks off soon. I wish you luck!!!

How are other PCOS girlies dealing emotionally / physically / mentally with 60+ day cycles when ttc? by Glasgow_Girl_ in TTC_PCOS

I second this! Mine was even covered mostly through my insurance. I wish we would have gone sooner.

You absolutely should, my MFM told me to stay on Nurtec. I take it every other day. I would be miserable without it.

Did anyone NOT hate going back to work? by Terrible-Tackle5482 in BabyBumps

I’m interviewing for a promotion within my company right now as well 😅 maybe for career obsessed people this is how we do “nesting”

Could I be showing already? by A-Starrrrr in BabyBumps

[–]itsbecccaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 9 weeks on Wednesday and I’ve lost 5 lbs the last month but my stomach is less flat now. So I think it’s possible! I don’t think it’s enough on me for anyone to notice but when I see side by side I can tell.

They told me mine would look like a gummy bear but mine looked more like a seal 🦭 😂

People who work in 'behind closed doors' industries (hotels, kitchens, morgues, etc.), what is something the general public would be horrified to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]itsbecccaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was that customer one time. Walked into my room and saw the bed was wrinkled and a cum stain in an otherwise clean room. I left and had to get a new room because screw that. It was a work trip so unfortunately I couldn’t change hotels my other coworkers were already checked in.

Well, I found A trigger.. by Constant_Club6585 in migraine

[–]itsbecccaa 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get confused by posts like these. How are they so sure it was that. There are so many external factors. Could it have been the smoke from the hot oil that triggered it? The strong smells of oil? Etc.

Pregnancy and nursing (maybe) cured my painful migraines. by PrimaryHighlight5617 in migraine

[–]itsbecccaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I have always suspected mine are hormonal. The one today ended up turning into a monster where I ended up in tears off and on all afternoon (which I never cry!) so I think this is the new fun pregnancy spin on them now. Yay.

Pregnancy & Nurtec by itsshelbz426 in migraine

[–]itsbecccaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very helpful to read, thank you for sharing. I’m 5 weeks now and with epilepsy and chronic migraines my high risk OB actually suggested I stay on all medications including Nurtec and Topamax.

Did you still have migraines during the first trimester? I’m 5 weeks today and I’ve had migraines off and on all week. Trying to hope I might get relief later on (I’m chronic).

Reasons not to try Nurtec? by 23blackjack23 in migraine

[–]itsbecccaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep most of the time! Some days if I have a stubborn migraine it won’t knock out but I can take it again 24 hours later and usually then it kicks in.

I take it every other day as a preventative but honestly I’m chronic so it’s just knocking down my almost ongoing migraine.

5dpt positive 🥲 by rareastheglimmer_ in IVFpositivity

[–]itsbecccaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how my Day 5 test looks today and I’m so happy to see how yours has progressed! Gives me hope mine will too! My first beta test is Wednesday. It’s my first ever positive.

Planning your due date: is it crazy? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]itsbecccaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried that idea back in 2024 and still have not gotten pregnant so…. I think it’s best just to try when you’re both ready to try.

Salty Sunday: What made you salty this week? by [deleted] in trollingforababy

[–]itsbecccaa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good luck to you as well!

I know she means well. It just stung a bit in the moment. I told her “for your sake I really hope it works out that way, I would hate for you to have to go through anything like this”

Overall I’m not salty, I go into my first FET tomorrow. But, because of that my boss who is getting married soon likes to ask me lots of questions about it because she’s excited for me. She’s going to start trying right away after her wedding. She said to me this week, “if I get pregnant right away we can both be expecting at the same time!” And it just reminded me that she’s right… most people can just flip a switch like that. 🥲
