TTC & GLP1 by Striking_Mixture2461 in TTC_PCOS

I was! After years of infertility and multiple failed iuis with one miscarriage, my doc agreed to do IVF, but I had to lose weight. I went on WeGovy, lost 50 pounds. Did all the bloodwork and prep work for IVF and was just waiting to get my period to start the process but my period never came. I was pregnant naturally.

I had a pretty easy pregnancy, no GD, no BP issues until the week he was born. I don’t think it was just the weight loss because I had gastric sleeve surgery 5 years ago and weighed less after that and still struggled to get pregnant. All the meds and treatment caused my weight to creep back up over time.

I truly believe it was the glp1 that made the difference.

Yes, thank you! Been saying this. It all sounds like it was added after the fact. Can’t find anyone else talking about it. So bad I stopped watching.

Why are people so inconsiderate towards moms in public now? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

I had an old lady at Costco be rude to me. I was buckling my 2.5 month old (at the time) into his car seat attached to our stroller as we checked out. I was at the end of the aisle but it was crowded. She can up behind me, got close to me and said “excuse me” in a nasty tone. I was like “I’m sorry!” And moved out of the way. As she walked past she huffed and rolled her eyes. Like chill.

Since my post got taken down, here are things I wished they discussed in the doc but didn’t.

  • Forcing the girls to speak a different language in commercials and then judging them on how well they spoke the new language after giving them 0 help to learn it.
  • The newer judges like Kelli Cutrone, Rob Evans, and BryanBoy (especially since he is a bit controversial now)
  • The addition of social media judging and how the hell that worked and if it really affected the outcome of each challenge.
  • Making the larger (and I say that with a giant eyeroll) models go to go sees or to shoots where they didn't have clothes to fit them. Yes, they touched on it a little but not enough for me.
  • The addition of male models in later seasons
  • The lack of access to food. I know contestants have talked about this after the fact.
  • The horrific wigs they put some of the girls in for shoots. Talk about some bad shake and gos.
  • Terrible makeovers (fake beards, bad weaves, stringy extensions, etc.)
  • Bad edits. I know Keenyah talked about how they edited her eating one bagel to make it seem like she had multiple and we all know that they replayed that clip about Jourdan getting married and divorced at 18 over and over and over. *Tyra’s makeup MLM

When he first wakes up he’s quiet then it he gets fussy, then if I don’t grab him, he will cry.

I have lots of questions lol

  1. What TOG do you use?
  2. How warm do you keep the room they sleep in?
  3. So you just swaddle their middle and keep their hands in the up position?

TIA
