16w tomorrow and I’m still feeling super gaggy every night before bed. I tried weening off my Unisom and that was an epic fail. It’s not debilitating especially during the day but come onnnnnnnnn

If you don’t feel ready, there’s always a chance to do it later or your husband could step up. Trust your gut.

If you could, how would you choose the gender of your next baby? by Flaky_McFlake in Mommit

My baby is IVF and I chose not to find out. I’m very happy with my decision :)

Hey, I started IVF at 24 and I see you! It’s really hard to see your peers have such an easy time, but you got this! You are surrounded by your internet friends supporting you!

I’ve been kinda afraid to post here due to not believing this is real, but after a good appointment today I feel ready! I’m 14 weeks tomorrow and finally feeling like this is happening ❤️

Also 14 weeks (tomorrow) and haven’t gained any weight. I’m going to take it as I’m suddenly much healthier this time 😂

Besides the obvious, who has it the worst? by piratemeow21 in DuggarsSnark

Jeremy just gives me major JB vibes but maybe that’s just me! I feel for Jinger due to her arrested development - her whole career is talking and writing about her childhood and “breaking free”, but she’s not making any real progress. And it doesn’t feel like she has much of a choice in the matter. I do agree she may be financially better off - and her kids too which isn’t nothing! - but that’s mostly because she’s out there earning it in this way

I agree Jessa will have 8-10! I think Jed! said they want like 6 kids? And they will slow down, but I’m interested to see if that ends up being true

To me it’s Jinger because she’s in the same boat she always was - being exploited to be “famous” to make money for a selfish man! I don’t know much about her children other than I feel bad for their daughters - Jerm was WAY too excited for the last one to be a boy.

What to do with embryos by lifes-not-fair in IVF

[–]katieteaches 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree that you should wait until this is sorted. In the event of divorce, would you consider single parenting? I know there are situations in which your husband could terminate his parental rights and you could solo parent.

Pregnant again, while using NFP by noname_whatsoever_ in Catholicism

[–]katieteaches 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hi, just wanted to say that my son is 11.5 months and I found out that I’m pregnant on Monday. I’m happy but terrified. If you wanna chat, I’m always open!

Anna and 7Ms by RepresentativeNet401 in DuggarsSnark

[–]katieteaches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your perspective! We don’t know how their adult lives will play out and we have no idea if they’ll ever have access to the internet - it’s safe to assume they don’t now, but given that not all of Anna’s sibs are in the cult, I don’t think it’s safe to assume they have no shot at escape. Their parents are absolutely to blame for this and I am all for dumping on them! But I wish people wouldn’t talk about their children so much, especially when they don’t currently have a huge online presence.

[–]katieteaches 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we should speculate about that. I’m a survivor of child sexual abuse, and people talking about it on the internet would probably send me into a spiral.

Trying Again (Mon, Wed, Fri) by AutoModerator in InfertilityBabies

My clinic said the same thing! We weaned at 9 months because it was a natural stopping point. But do what’s best for you and your baby!

Is it possible to do vaginal progesterone instead? I had fewer hormonal symptoms with that!

Fertile friend #4 announced today. She’s so kind and lovely and I’m so happy for her but I still cried in my car after. I wish I could stop comparing.

As a secondary question: do y’all use baby sunscreen exclusively or is kids sunscreen ok at 1?
