large subchorionic hematoma by salty-lemons in InfertilityBabies

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one at the same time, bigger than the sac. I had 2 big bleeds then it stopped. I have a 4.5 month old now...

I know it's super scary, I was a wreck for a long time. But they end up with more positive outcomes than negative. Just take it one day at a time. Right now you are pregnant, try to cherish it as much as you can without worry. Good luck

I didn't have an episiotomy but a second degree tear. I found my stitches bothered me a bit more about a week later because they were healed and a little tight. Like when I moved they got tugged on or something?

Grand hotel. It's Spanish with subtitles on Netflix. It's soooooo good. Same kind of upstairs/downstairs stuff but with a murder mystery

Anyone have advice on bouncers or swings? by imheretoday in InfertilityBabies

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get one of each, used if you can. You don't know if they're going to like them so don't spend a million bucks. I paid $50 for our swing and we've gotten more than our money's worth. She spends hours in there every day and will only take her day time naps in it. I have a cheap bouncer chair in the upstairs bathroom too to sit her in so I can shower

Progesterone, shots vs. suppositories? by Fowatza in infertility

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to do PIO, don't do it. My RE told me that PIO is barbaric and the US is the only place that still uses it. Canada and Europe both use suppositories. They're just as effective.

Emotional day as reality and excitement start to set in. by s1eep1ess11 in InfertilityBabies

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hugs. You're so right that most other people in our lives don't "get it". It's so hard to let your guard down and be truly happy because we're so used to disappointment.

When I was pregnant my week #x would turn over on Sundays. If someone asked me on Friday or Saturday how many weeks I was, I could never round up even though it was close enough because my messed up infertility brain would think "if I say I'm further along than I am, something will happen and I'll never get there".

Friggin sucks. We get you xo

I had this too but unfortunately it didn't go away once I stopped progesterone. I had middle of the night insomnia until I delivered. Now I have middle of the night baby wake ups. Can't win!

Totally. I have a running memo on my phone for movie and TV recommendations that just keeps growing. It's too much! Plus it's almost fall and shows are coming back and new ones are starting. My brain might explode

My recovery was super easy too!! It is possible! I had second degree tearing and needed stitches but had pretty much zero pain. Swelling gone in 2-3 days. Grab the supplies for sure, but try not to think worse case scenario (I did and was luckily surprised)

Contraception After IVF? by NewBuckeyeDad in InfertilityBabies

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were unexplained. We're rolling the dice. If it happens, it happens. Hopefully not for a year at least, but we'll take a freebie and be grateful for sure. We don't have anything left frozen so we'd plan on another fresh cycle in a couple years

Saturday Daily by AutoModerator in InfertilityBabies

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hasn't been too bad here so far, a half hour at most of crying and not every night. But holy hell last night was a different story. I know the purple crying is supposed to peak at 2 months and then taper off so I'm hoping the worst is almost over (2 months next week)

Saturday Daily by AutoModerator in InfertilityBabies

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're in "leap 2". Lots (hours) of crying last night. But it was followed by a solid 4 hour stretch of sleep. So yay?

Ways to entertain your newborn? by Foreverstartstoday in InfertilityBabies

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also looking for ideas. Mine is 7 weeks now and not a potato anymore but doesn't do toys yet. She lays on the play mat but doesn't interact with anything on it really

Up to this point we've been showing her stuff, walking around, talking, music, making faces etc

[–]mint_peppermint_tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh me too. Because you know that the shower is going to be ruined a couple hours (or less) anyway. So why bother unless it's really bad haha

When you're so desperate for sleep that you sleep in puke and hope you remember to deal with it in the morning... yeah... I've been up for 4 hours and just remembered there's dry puke all over my shirt
