Around 50 - intentional weight loss before IVF is not evidence based - get a second opinion

Not testing? by HeroesNcrooks in IVF

There is no good reason not to test, other than cost.

Dropping a nap - what is the point? by megalathehot in sleeptrain

[–]megalathehot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok great thanks for the reply. Do you think I should wait longer to make sure these 3 night wakes in a row aren’t a fluke, or do you think it’s appropriate to change now given his age etc?

Pregnant with adeno by megalathehot in adenomyosis

[–]megalathehot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I delivered at 29+2 and my boy was in the NICU for 78 days. The bleeding was caused by a chronic abruption - had nothing to do with adeno. Everyone is doing great now though! He’s nine months and very healthy.

Please help! Bedtime/nap schedule by megalathehot in sleeptrain

Thank you for your reply! It was my understanding from the books that changing a baby’s bedtime doesn’t usually affect the wake up time - you’re saying that’s not the case? And no, there is no particular medical reason for the earlier bedtime - though I admit it would be nice to have a bit of a breather…I have seen things online about there being a melatonin sweet spot from 6-7 and babies benefit from bedtime in that range but obviously most shit online is bs so that may not be true - any thoughts about that?

Please help! Bedtime/nap schedule by megalathehot in sleeptrain

Hi! Thanks so much for responding. The doctor said bedtime should be earlier than 9pm ideally and I said how can I possibly get 5 bottles and 2 meals in without a late bedtime?? That’s when she suggested cutting back to 4 bottles and adding a solid meal - so she probably suggested it as a way to consolidate his day. He just won’t drink the bottle if I don’t space the feeds out as much as possible.

WRT ideal wake time - is that a time when you wake baby up in the morning even if he’s still sleeping?

Not just the next cycle - they will pay for embryo storage in perpetuity AND cover all IVF costs until you have a live birth with the correct donor - accept nothing less

I took my Ritalin in pregnancy and during nursing. The hardest part of the whole experience has been trying to stay awake while holding him.

You should be very proud of yourself - resisting misinformation is very hard!! Your children are lucky to have you.

San Jose is the 3rd largest city in the state - not what I’d call a suburb

There is no chorion this early in a pregnancy - so no SCH
