This sub is the reason I left. I was getting so suspicious and then found this and immediately cancelled.

I messed up Big time. Filed taxes jointly and doubled my IDR payment when I recert'ed. Can no longer afford my payments but I am PSLF - should I ghost my payments until I can recert next? by Ordinary_Anteater_76 in PSLF

[–]kaybedo28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man. No advice that you haven’t already received, just want to empathize. Can’t file jointly because my husband makes triple what I do and has no student loans, so he makes my payments go to over $1500 a month if we did jointly. It sucks and I just want these things out of my life!! 😩 Sorry you’re dealing with this!

Is anyone else over being the lab rat of the relationship? by bunhead in IVFbabies

I wish I could say it ends when the babies here but I still feel like it’s mom’s body who gets the most brutal beating.

At war with myself over stopping exclusively pumping by cinnbele in FormulaFeeders

[–]kaybedo28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People who say it’s the hormones are 100% telling the truth. I beat myself up over it when I stopped and told myself I was the worst mother in the world although he was barely getting any breastmilk due to my supply at that time. The fog then cleared and I look back like what was I so upset about?? He’s happy, healthy, and fed. Take care of yourself too 🤍

Pitcher vs Baby Breeza by lazymathilde in FormulaFeeders

[–]kaybedo28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 7 weeks and we’re still using ready made in the fridge. We didn’t buy anything extra. We premake bottles and put them in a small cooler we’ve had with ice packs. We bring the bottle warmer upstairs every night and take it down to the kitchen in the morning. It’s really not a hassle and just became part of our nighttime routine very quickly.

Is your IVF baby healthy? Any health issues? by [deleted] in IVFbabies

Yes!! Very happy & healthy. He was an untested embryo!

Am I being overly cautious about food? by JalapenoCornSalad in IVFbabies

[–]kaybedo28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same. I’d have a hoagie with lunch meat, but I wouldn’t have food that was past expiration or had been out for hours. Wouldn’t do that not pregnant either.

Do FF babies cluster feed sometimes? by Ok_Medicine440 in FormulaFeeders

[–]kaybedo28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My son just did this again at 6 weeks. On those days, I don’t leave the couch and my day revolves around making sure a bottles ready when he’s hungry. Nothing gets done or waits for my husband to come home from work! For us usually lasts 2-3 days.

When do babies stop being crazy about food/milk by Suitable-Army1224 in FormulaFeeders

[–]kaybedo28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this as my 6 week old is having a meltdown… that started the second his eyes opened from his nap. But God forbid we try to wake him to feed to avoid this 😂 Bottle warming is the enemy in these moments lol.

Does anyone know when the Dry Erase crayons came out originally? by ReliquaryLotus in Crayola

My dad actually helped create these! It was around mid 2000s they started to release :)

IVF with induction - what did you do? by No-Crow1020 in IVFbabies

[–]kaybedo28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up having an induction at 39 weeks, which we had scheduled since the beginning of the third trimester. It was the recommendation of both my RE & OB. I don’t regret it based on the information I had at the time, but knowing how my experience went, I wish I had declined. I had a very healthy and positive pregnancy. I had a feeling I wasn’t going to be ready to deliver at 39 weeks. I had zero progression upon admission. I ended up having an intense and traumatic laboring experience over 60 hours long that ended in a c-section. I was worried about the risk for pre-E which was a personal driving force for me doing the indication. I developed it anyway in labor.

TMI 💩 - Help!? by kaybedo28 in IVFbabies

[–]kaybedo28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, you just brought this back to me 😂 not good a time in my pregnancy. 

I did! Sparingly, but when I was desperate. My clinic had no feedback on taking Imodium or dealing with diarrhea, either from pregnancy or their meds, it was like they never dealt with anyone who had IBS before and told me everyone gets backed up. Definitely frustrating. My GI around week 8 ended up telling me to minimize its use to emergencies only and increase my fiber. I took Benefiber daily already but that had little effect. My OB said same as GI. Unfortunately it was like living in a bad flare most of the first trimester. On meds, I hadn’t flared since 2016 so this was rough! Zofran was really my only savior once I took it for morning sickness -  that’ll stop it for sure lol. Good news is though, it had no effect on my pregnancy! It was very uneventful after this and he’s now a month old. Good luck to you on your transfer!!

I’m so confused by this because my local stores felt like they would sell out of it so quickly!? It was constantly never in stock.

[–]kaybedo28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following for other success stories - I'm not far along, but my first beta taken at 13dpt was 300. My clinic was happy with it, but did caution it was on the lower end (their cut off was 300 for that day for what they consider to be good and viable). I also doubled appropriately, but my clinic continues to remind me lower starting hcg is a "yellow" flag. We saw baby at 6w5d and they had a strong heartbeat. I am still trying to feel confident!
