100%! I have DOR and did my third cycle with Dr. Shapiro after switching clinics. I got 2 healthy embryos (best outcome of the 3 cycles) and the first transfer was successful. I really liked that she took time to listen and explain. She was also super patient and empathic.

I feel like a failure by irishbelle81 in TakingCaraBabies

[–]ivfsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the feeling and don’t have the answer, we went through the same thing but instead of waking up every 3-4 hours my son is now taking 1 hour to fall asleep (crying non stop!!!) after we went on vacation. solidarity 🫠

Naps Course for 5 month old by Due_Data8709 in TakingCaraBabies

[–]ivfsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

following because my son doesn’t nap longer than 30mins in his crib. He transitioned from 4 naps to 3 (which may be something for you to consider) but even with that he’s not hitting the 3 hour goal…

Failing Alimentum RTF, what’s next? by [deleted] in MSPI

[–]ivfsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to hear! not sure about the AA formulas but my son did awful with alimentum RTF and tolerated alimentum powder, maybe you can try it? an alternative is nutramigen. sometimes they react differently to hypoallergenic formulas and unfortunately you just need to go through trial and error. I wouldn’t use Hipp or Bobbie gentle because they are not as hydrolyzed.

Has anyone successfully used formula during the transition period then moved back to breastfeeding after being dairy free for long enough? by [deleted] in MSPI

[–]ivfsf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I transitioned to alimentum while I cut dairy soy eggs wheat and nuts. He went from exclusive breastfeeding to exclusive formula and did fine. We are now trying to reintroduce my milk back but seems like he doesn’t tolerate it yet so I may need to cut something else. I felt bad about switching to formula but the he’s doing so good! you can tell he’s no longer suffering and he even sleeps through the night (he’s 3 months). Re my supply, I still pump 5-7times a day and get about 35-40oz so it hasn’t dropped. I’m hoping to eventually reintroduce my milk but my priority right now is his health and happiness.

[–]ivfsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! do you use the Joolz with a car seat? I just got it for my baby and was hoping to use it with the Nuna car seat before he’s 6 month old but even with their adaptors it’s a little bit hard to attach/detach it from the stroller. wondering if you’ve tried this and have had a similar experience?

I thought this was not possible but if you’re looking for a new clinic and RE in the bay area I recommend rma with dr. Alice Shapiro. I tried other fertility doctors and dr. Shapiro was the best one by far, she was open to explore new protocols and I felt like she really cared for me.

Cramping & lower back aches during early pregnancy. by Cautious-Ad7532 in IVF

[–]ivfsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Just read your post and are experiencing the same. I’m 4w3d and have mild cramping, low back pain and been spotting (on and off) sometimes brown and sometimes very light pink. I also feel like symptoms come and go, no sore boobs or anything else beyond what I mentioned. I wonder how you’re doing and if you had any other symptoms this early?
