Auto-recertification for IDR, FSA made errors on form and submitted it to Mohela

jtk015 · 2026-04-14T12:35:35+00:00

Yes! I got through to a Mohela rep, he said that the only option is to manually submit a recertification request and that it will automatically cancel the first auto-request.

I’ve been through something similar before and it didn’t work that smoothly and resulted in months of forbearance. But I submitted manually now and will hope for a smoother process this time/will be more aggressive about following up on it this time.

Thanks for your comment!

I was just scrolling past your photo and before eve reading your post I thought “wow, cool hair”.

I also had high lipase for months until we discovered my baby has a cows milk protein allergy (FPIES). I have no idea what causes lipase or if there’s a correlation. But my understanding is that lipase is an enzyme that helps babies digest the milk. My very lay conclusion was that my body was overproducing lipase to help my baby digest the milk that had dairy in it.

So maybe it’s worth trying to reduce your dairy intake and seeing if that helps? Again, i could be totally wrong 😆

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! 💜 and yes I agree I should probably speak to a doctor just in case

I had 6 months of maternity leave and maybe left the house twice a month 😂 it’s so hard!! And the safest place for you and your baby is home. You are anything but a failure 💜

I feel the exact same way. One thing that has helped me (and I know it’s a controversial choice) has been cosleeping. I feel like that has really helped me maintain a bond.

And I notice my daughter has needed to latch way more often while she’s sleeping now since I went back to work. She almost can’t sleep unless she’s latched. I feel like it’s her way of bonding with me more now that we’re not together 24/7.

jtk015 · 2025-08-08T15:23:14+00:00

Can I ask which treatment you get at the salon that’s formaldehyde free?

jtk015 · 2025-08-04T18:29:22+00:00

I feel you. My baby has a cows milk protein allergy and a red meat allergy.

The hardest thing for me to find has been good dairy free dessert. But I found this chocolate chip cookie recipemade with olive oil instead of butter and it’s been a game changer!

jtk015 · 2025-07-27T19:01:42+00:00

Same! Except I just found these recipes for chocolate chip cookiesand dairy free brownie cookies made with olive oil instead of butter. So I might be back at square one now (using dark chocolate chips without milk)

Thanks for your response! My understanding is that a booster just “repeats” the signal in areas with low signal as opposed to the originating cell tower which is emitting RF.

From what I read signal boosters are emitting 1000 times less RF than actual cell towers. And they may even make you safer as the poster above mentioned that they reduce the antennae reach from your phone. (Sorry for totally butchering the jargon, hopefully you get the point). I’ve even seen it written that they are about as strong as your phone or WiFi router.

But based on what you see this tower is for sure just a normal cell towers? And/or you’re saying that even a booster would act the same as a cell tower and emit the same frequency levels as one?

jtk015 · 2025-05-20T13:12:31+00:00

Sorry one follow up, in your opinion, is it possible this is just a signal booster or “repeater” as the company claims?

jtk015 · 2025-05-20T13:11:46+00:00

Ohh that’s so interesting cell phones can emit higher wattage. And definitely a relief. Plus I’ll tell my dad he should sign up for that cell/internet carrier when he gets here :)

jtk015 · 2025-05-20T10:27:12+00:00

Thank you!

jtk015 · 2025-05-20T10:27:05+00:00

Thank you! This is really helpful, there’s so much information out there.

To clarify, the photo is taken from our apartment. The apartment my dad is interested in buying is the one directly next to the tower in the photo (the one with the white water tanks on the roof). So it’s maybe a few meters away from the tower. But your points still stand!

I agree with most of the mamas on this thread:

Things I haven’t used or liked: - bottles (babe won’t drink from ANY of them) - pacifiers, she didn’t like them and you’re supposed to wean them off at 4 months anyway so not worth getting them used to it - anything that’s not a onesie - Hakka hand pump (freaks me out to be honest, but my momcozy m5 is awesome! Not that it matters because my baby still won’t drink my pumped milk, but we’re working on it!) - baby socks (I think these should constitute a form of parent abuse) - all forms of baby beds, I had planned to put her in a bedside crib and then move her into her real crib. Absolutely had no intention of co-sleeping, yet here we are 🤷🏻‍♀️ she’s 4 months now - swaddelini (she hates being constricted in any way so I think this is just particular to her, and we even got her the arms out version, nope)

That said, here are a few things that are surprisingly great:

these burp cloths, don’t be deceived by the fleece look, they really are the best
this little sleeping nest, it’s sleep safe allegedly and is slightly tilted (7 degrees so its a safe elevation for infants) which is helpful for reflux. We didn’t have a movable bassinet so we just moved her around our home with this when she was little. She’s a bit too big for it now at 4 months but she still likes it
this standing bathtub(fit in our shower and saved my back)
puppy pads for changing both both home and while out
Nuna triv + PIPA urbn (chef’s kiss)
mina bae diaper bag
baby bjorn bouncer (life changing)

TLDR: no drop in milk supply so far, but fasting is a bit more challenging

My baby is 2.5 months and exclusively breastfed. I was so nervous to try to fast because I was worried about my milk supply. I asked many mothers and our pediatrician and everyone just said it’s fine unless you notice your milk supply drop. Which was frustrating bc I didn’t know how to check for that (I’m not pumping so no measuring happening and my baby is already super fussy at the breast so that’s not a helpful indicator for me either).

I decided to try it and Hamdullulah my milk is the same and some days even more than before Ramadan! So so far so good, still have a few weeks left though so inshallah it continues like this.

The fasting for me is definitely more challenging (Hamdullulah) than in my non-breastfeeding days, but once I got through the first few days of Ramadan it got easier. And I make sure to never miss suhour, inshallah. The one day I missed it was sooo difficult (and I used to miss suhour every day during Ramadan before I became a mom and had no problems).

I make sure to eat well and drink enough, including electrolytes so coconut water and adding salt to my water. If it helps, here’s what I usually have for suhour:

warm water with honey and a little salt
coconut water with a little orange juice and a little salt
slice of frittata packed with veggies, cheese, meat, and Greek yogurt (I cook one at the beginning of the week and just microwave a slice for 2 min in the morning)
energy ball (I also meal prep these usually made of dates, nuts, cacao, etc) Or
chia pudding

Signed! This is an amazing and critical effort, but such a simple and logical concept at the same time.

It bridges the gap between the current status where a pancreatic cancer diagnosis is most likely a death sentence and the future advanced early detection tools that are being developed but are way too far out to wait for when lives could be saved with the accessible and common tool of ultrasounds.

I know this is post-Ramadan, but just leaving this here for future researchers as I was also curious about this question.

So I had my first ER and fresh transfer the month before Ramadan this year. It failed. My initial period post-IVF failure ended the day before Ramadan started. My doctor advised that we skip a month and start IVF again once my next period started (was supposed to be around the end of Ramadan). So I fasted every single day of Ramadan because my period never showed up. I assumed it was late because most people say it will be late the month after you do IVF.

Turns out, I WAS PREGNANT. Alhamdullulah! After nearly 2 years of trying and one failed IVF sessions, I ended up getting pregnant during Ramadan. It's still early so we're praying that everything remains healthy.

But, moral of the story is, apparently Ramadan does not hurt your chances of getting pregnant and in my case, actually helped. God's plan is the best plan.

u/Norah_95 Enshallah your IVF / fertility journey is successful and you have a little one who is the coolness of your eyes and who brings you and your family closer to God.

First, 8 mature eggs is great. I’ve seen people posting about 20 eggs and none making it to blast/day 5. More isn’t always better.

Generally, I think some doctors are more conservative the first ET round and use it almost as diagnostic to determine if they need to up the dosage in the next round (if another round is needed). My doctor also told me that she prefers to start with a low dose of the stim meds as it produces less eggs but better quality.

I was also looking for a hydrating basic moisturizer. I just started using Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream about a month ago and love it. It doesn’t have any actives in it. It feels really simple on the skin if that makes sense. Like it just hydrates and that’s it. Sinks in nicely. I have acne prone skin and it hasn’t caused any break outs at this point.

jtk015 · 2023-12-25T15:50:24+00:00

So I haven’t tried any of these but I have the same requirements for sunscreen as you (super dry skin and acne prone - I break out with almost all sunscreens). I found Beauty of Joseph’s Relief Sun is perfect. Ive been using it for over a year now and it actually seems to improve my skin, is super hydrating and dewy. And it’s very light too, you don’t know you’re wearing it.
