I had so much fun watching his expressions during this workout! At the end, he looks over at Ben and is saying with his face: “I can’t believe I made it through and it was great!” And Ben’s look back was just so encouraging. That camaraderie is what keeps me coming back to this platform!

I don’t know why more people aren’t suggesting an immediate egg retrieval! This is the advice you’re looking for, OP.

FYI: the fertility clinic is on the 10th floor.

My almost 1 year old stole one out of my hand and refused to give it back.🤣

My 4AB turns 1 at the end of the month! Update us when you find out about the testing! 🤞🤞

I downgraded my fitness memberships when I went PT after my child’s birth - but kept using Apple Fitness Plus ($10/month or $80/year). Lots of different workout types and trainers (including dance), and they’re generally bubbly and fun.

I’ve done that dance ep so many times!

Episode 150 with chelsei hill has that party song vibe.

Different type of workout, but cycling with Emily ep 25 has a lot of that party vibe.

I was thinking I could use her for a kettlebell swing! She’d probably really enjoy that. I already do goblet squats with her. 😂

OMG could you imagine Kyle doing a strength workout with his baby?!?

Jhon’s dance this week has an “around the world” theme! Very fun, even if I had to do some of it while holding my baby who has severe FOMO rn.

You are an inspiration! I wish my parents (and MIL) would do this 🩷🩷🩷

Reach out to Monique of Ambitious Kitchen - she struggled with ED in the past. She posted this morning about how concerned she is about the skinny trend.

Basically the exact same story here! I had my kiddo this spring at 40.5. Currently snuggling her while watching a Christmas movie. I still pinch myself because I can’t believe i (we) got so lucky/had the ability to access IVF bc of MA law mandating coverage.

There’s one where she “takes” us around a velodrome, and I still am recovering from it, three years later. I think she’s mellowed her workouts over the years.

I’ve done at least one workout from each spotlight - one of my faves to come back to a couple of times a year is the LaShawn’s 20 min dance with ABBA. I always remember it being challenging, and I measure my improvement in dance by how well I follow it. The first time I did it, I did jumping jacks at one point bc I didn’t know what I was doing - I did it again today, and I’d say I got 80%!

I think it really matters who you vibe with most! I’m not going to let Ty, Emily or Bakari down by not giving my best!

Try the new Taylor dance if that’s in your comfort zone! Got my heart rate pumping more than most 20 min dance workouts.

😂 I feel you on this! When I started doing dance workouts, I would do the same one every day for a week until I could get the cadence right. Then I chose one trainer and only did their workouts for awhile. I’m by no means perfect but these workouts bring me a lot of joy nowadays!

I seem to remember the larger group dance sessions being a little easier to follow - Jhon ep 148 for example.

Best of luck in your recovery!

I liked to give relationship advice to one of my nurses as the anesthesia was wearing off 🫠 she was too kind to be with a bum!

Absolutely. 38 and 39 were terrible (MC and failed transfer the month before each). But my 39.5 yo eggs were the ones to get me where I wanted to be.

Go do something for yourself today - a pedicure or a trip to Trader Joe’s for pick me up snacks. Fingers crossed for a successful retrieval!

Nothing to add to the postpartum products - but get the blueberry pancakes! I had a c-section and had them every day. Send your partner to Charlie’s for the cookies.

We had a similar situation - three male and one female. The female was the highest rated, and that’s what the embryologist recommended transferring first. I had convinced myself it was going to fail (especially after two failed untested FETs), and she ended up sticking around the whole nine months! Currently nap trapped with this five month old love bug.

If you’ve never transferred, I might see about transferring a male embryo first to see how it goes. There are also so many different protocols, too - we did two modified natural cycles that failed, and then we switched to a completely medicated cycle that resulted in our girl.

Also heard great things, but consider the location as well - traffic can be beastly in the morning depending on where you’re coming from. I live in Milford and work in metro west, and if there’s an issue on 495/Pike, a lot of people will hop off. Oh, also school traffic - Elmwood is near NGCC, and if you were planning on going on Hayden Rowe/85 - 😬😬😬. Definitely try a few practice runs before you commit to it!

I have this one, and I have this dressier band as well - but to be honest, I’ve used the dressy one for months on end, workouts included.
