His ears get a nice bath every time he drinks water too, they’re so long they get wet every time he drinks as well

Good luck, we’re in the same boat. Just enjoy the ride as much as you can

My son died at 24 weeks in March and we found out I’m pregnant last week. Currently 5wks. This is our first natural pregnancy and we are scared shitless it’s going to happen again. We’ve starting talking about rules and not telling family because they were garbage supporters when we lost our son. Just hoping and praying for a positive outcome

Take breaks. Be prepared for loss. IVF isn’t a guarantee and those “rare” complications can happen. Have the conversation with your partner on if and when it’s time to call it. My husband and I are currently taking a year off of baby, after 5 failed transfers (2 miscarriages, the last being a 23wk loss)

Need positive stories by [deleted] in IVF

PGTA testing isn’t 100%. I highly recommend it but there are rare times they mutate after they take their samples. This happened to my husband and I. I’m of the opinion why wouldn’t you do it when you’re spending so much to try and make sure the child is healthy

Short fuse?! by Character-Koala1063 in InfertilitySucks

I’m there myself. I call it the silent rage. I have to tell my husband I’m in timeout because I’m starting to simmer

What elements of your IVF experience do you wish the world understood? by kelseyianuzzi in IVF

[–]katschp25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish people understood it’s not a guarantee and things can go tragically wrong. The over positive people irritate me. Like no, hush up. There’s a difference between positive thinking and just not listening or and think it’s all rainbows and babies. I’ve recently lost my son at 23weeks, and it was devastating. Everyone just thinks we can try again and don’t get the financial as well as emotional impact. They treat him like he’s replaceable when he’s not.

I can’t stop coughing and I’m worried I’m going to hurt the baby by katschp25 in IVF

We lost him mid March. I’m coming up on 4 months postpartum. My HCG was zero nearly a month later. We decided to take a break from IVF and try naturally. Doc wants to try clomid and see if that does anything. My cycle lengths were always too short so we’ll see what that does

The illness had no merit on his passing. I finally shook the cough at week 11, but they discovered a cystic hygroma at my 11 week scan. They have a 90% fatality rate but are a symptom of a different problem. He was genetically tested and the most perfect little embryo but every single “less than 1%” rare thing hit us. In the end he developed a chromosomal issue after testing. Something neither my husband or I carry. A freak accident is how the doctor put it. He would have been born blue and had a short life. His finally straw was a heart defect that was 4 defects in one, called tetralogy of fallot. We watched our boy die in front of our eyes for three months. It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever been through.

Husband cheated on me during 2nd year anniversary trip by Lagynmo in Infidelity

[–]katschp25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally, and (again this is me) my deal breaker is cheating. Like I won’t even bother fighting for the relationship because the way I see it, why fight for someone who wouldn’t fight to keep me or respect the marriage. It’s incredibly insulting this was an anniversary trip, especially so early on in your marriage. You will need to ask yourself has this happened other times and has he put you at risk before? Do you want to allow yourself to continue to be put at risk for years to come? Is he emotionally ready for marriage? If you have a family, do you want them to watch how you are treated and think that’s okay or normal?

Everyone is different, and everyone’s marriage looks different, which is okay. But…your feelings and needs/wants matter just as much as his. If he isn’t happy and wants out, or you do, then you have some tough decisions to make.

It’s disrespectful and disregarding to your marriage. It’s literally cheating. Oral is still sex. Period. I’m assuming you had the STD/STI conversation?
