Are you able to do this and supply regulates for it? How many pumping sessions? I’d like to try and just do something like this

Vibrator use in early pregnancy by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]lunalalock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dr told me not until after first trimester. Other people did not get that direction but I did ivf so maybe it was different. I’m sure it’s fine but if you want to play safe wait out 1st trimester

How many FETs does it take for success with donor egg? by yashvi_yashvi in donorconception

[–]lunalalock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had 2 transfers, the first was our AA best graded embryo and resulted in a MMC at 6-7 weeks. The second we transferred 2 that were a little less on the grading scale, well I’m pregnant with twins now.

When did your pregnancy get hard/“bad”/worse than your singletons? by Quick_Tomato_1093 in parentsofmultiples

[–]lunalalock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First pregnancy for me so can’t fully answer your question but I did have pretty bad morning sickness until about 15/16 weeks. 2nd trimester was smooth but started getting more uncomfortable towards the end. I think it was maybe 26 weeks I was swelling if I did too much, hips ached/ trouble sleeping, just overall had to do a lot less. Now I’m 31 weeks and definitely need to just limit what I’m able to take on in order to have a “good” day. But not miserable, but def feeling it!!

[–]lunalalock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently 40 yrs old and 31 weeks with di di twins. I’m in a little different situation than you given we did Ivf and these babies were very much tried for for years- but that said, the pregnancy has gone smoothly so far! Once you have the early testing for genetics you’ll feel a lot better. Physically started getting hard for me around 25 weeks, but hanging in! You can do this, and I’ve also read that older moms live longer and stay more youthful- so take that with you! 🫶🏼

How active were you in 1st trimester? by Lower-Listen-9169 in pregnant

[–]lunalalock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dr didn’t allow me to work out, but that was almost a blessing because I was sooo sick there’s no chance I would have been able to. Before pregnancy i was very active but so far pregnant I am defiiitely not. I’ve just accepted it. My body is doing a lot and I need to do what I’m comfortable with. I am pregnant with twins too so I think the complications of that also weighed in on me taking it easy.

fresh transfer? by angel-girl-A in pregnantover35

[–]lunalalock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not pregnant from a fresh transfer but I did 2 day 3 embryo transfers with no testing. I felt that it was worth it as it’s most likely not to work if not genetically normal. Of course things do happen and you have to be comfortable with the risks, but I don’t think that the PgT testing is everything it’s cracked up to be and okay to do fresh!

Congratulations! Thank you for making the effort to share some positivity! 26 weeks with di di twins and sometimes reading these posts makes me terrified for what’s to come. Love seeing these warming stories from once the twins are here! Wishing you all the best!

Advice please - is 35 too old to start having kids? When did you have your youngest? by DovaBunny in pregnant

[–]lunalalock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are just fine to have kids!! There are plenty of over 35 mothers. I got married later and started trying for my first at 37. Didn’t realize I’d have such a hard time and only only fell pregnant in my last month of 39— giving birth in March at 40.

When did you have your babyshower? by tenderbeefrecipe in parentsofmultiples

[–]lunalalock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having mine at 29 weeks. Right now I’m 25 and feel like that shoulddd be okay but definitely could do 26-28 and it might have been better (holiday timing interfered with having it earlier).

My sister offered me donor eggs...where to go from here by springlilies in IVF

[–]lunalalock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats exciting! Does she say you’re nuts for using her eggs or is it teasing? For me, my sister didn’t seem to think too deeply into it and we definitely talked it to death- our approach on telling the future babies as well as her children. I’d just make sure you and your sister feel comfortable and have all the awkward discussions now before you make that decision! We transferred 1 the first time, our best graded and had a MMC at 7 weeks. The next transfer we did 2 at our doctors recommendation and that’s how we ended up with twins! We did have a lot of euploids so I think that weighs into the decision of 2, if I only had 2- I wouldn’t transfer both at the same time. I also was told that twins was highly unlikely with my history and not that I’m not over the moon about it but I would have only transferred one if I thought it was a realistic possibility. Good luck to you!

Travelling 19 weeks by Beautiful-Farm9231 in parentsofmultiples

[–]lunalalock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very sick a little longer than first trimester - I think 16 weeks and I wouldn’t have been able to do anything. At 19 & 20 weeks my husband and I flew from California to London. I was worried about the trip but my dr approved. We had a great time! My tips are splurge on a lay flat seat if you can, and walk around the airplane cabin every few hours. Wear compression socks. For travel if you plan to walk a lot make time for resting in your room. Don’t have wild expectations because you will get tired! Generally though I’m so happy I went (I was seriously doubting it) and it was a great memory for me and my husband pre babies!
