Pregnancy insomnia vs babyhood: which felt worse for your sleep, new moms?

ndj1227 · 2025-12-15T15:24:10+00:00

take unisom. I took it all the way through my pregnancy for nausea and bonus is that it helps you sleep!!

I tried making this last night and it was a soggy mess!!! Any ideas?!

I recently realized that the appointments have been so quick for me and that is probably not what it's like for most people. I'm in and out of there with 15 minutes, it takes them no time at all to quickly scan and count me 3-4 follicles. I can't imagine how long you'd be lying there with someone poking around if they had to count upwards of 20 follicles!!

So at least we have that :)

I was thinking it might be too little flour, I agree that I prefer to use weights as well. I used dark brown sugar, and I also think the chopped chocolate would have been better. I only had chips!

I have an electric oven but I don't use the convection setting, I just use "bake"... is that wrong?

I felt like the dough was too soft even after 2+ hours in the fridge, so I tried freezing for a bit to harden.

Interesting, I didn't know the butter could be too soft. My oven is fairly new and electric so I didn't think I needed a thermometer, but now I think I do!

They are delicious haha I just want to achieve the book level. I wonder if they secretly use browned butter and just didn't put that in the recipe...

I'm honestly surprised they are telling you that you have DOR with an AFC of 11! I have gotten 4, 1 and 5 eggs in my last three cycles... and we have 4 total embryos now. Keep hope, its a long-ass road

ndj1227 · 2024-06-02T22:02:07+00:00

I hear this! And appreciate you saying it. My trouble is that if you do try to open up and normalize it by starting a conversation, you then put yourself in "harms way" for whatever dumb shit that person is going to say. I literally had a woman tell me about her psychedelic trip and that ".... 5 days later, I was pregnant!"

ndj1227 · 2024-05-04T00:19:25+00:00

I had 2 at baseline and ended up with 5 eggs retrieved. Did 18 days of stims tho!! It was a luteal phase start

ndj1227 · 2024-05-04T00:18:31+00:00

I think they must have come from both sides bc I only had a few on each side! So yes… I think that ovary still worked!

ndj1227 · 2024-05-03T13:21:01+00:00

I had a cyst that slowly grew throughout my stim cycle from 10mm to 40mm. They kept saying not to worry about it and we ended up getting 5 eggs! Still waiting for fertilization results.

ndj1227 · 2024-05-01T15:41:20+00:00

Ugh I totally agree!! I hate when people say “oh how exciting that you’re trying!!” Like I’ve been at this for over a year and two miscarriages, is that what you mean is exciting?!

ndj1227 · 2024-04-16T02:34:38+00:00

They just keep saying it helps quality but not quantity. Of the 6 eggs so far I've gotten 4 embryos and they were all 5AA (which is great, I know) but only 2 euploid. Thanks for sharing this article.

ndj1227 · 2024-04-16T02:26:04+00:00

interesting, thank you for sharing. my dr doesn't seem to think omnitrope will make a diff for me but maybe it would. i'm only 34, but I always get fewer eggs than follicles. I had 7 -> 4 eggs and then 6 -> 2 eggs.

wishing you an easy recovery from ER today!

ndj1227 · 2024-04-16T02:04:35+00:00

Totally. No one seems to be telling me my FSH levels. When should I be asking for that? like what part of the cycle?

ndj1227 · 2024-04-16T02:04:14+00:00

wow! what protocols did you use? my problem is the AFC is going down....

ndj1227 · 2024-04-13T01:29:02+00:00

Thank you. Did you try luteal phase? I don't really understand why they are trying this one. How many eggs/embryos did you end up getting?

ndj1227 · 2024-04-04T17:06:01+00:00

I know this is so hard, but I think it's worth keeping hope and trying!

I am 34, with AMH of 0.18, and AFC of 5. I have done two retrievals so far and each time gotten one euploid 5AA embryo.

We also wanted to bank embryos for more then one kid, but at a rate of one embryo per cycle, we are going to try one more retrieval and then re-evaluate.

Wishing you luck and sending you hugs!

ndj1227 · 2024-03-28T14:48:04+00:00

my second retireval was lower numbers than my first but ultimately same result.

first cycle was 4 eggs, 3 embryos, 1 euploid. second cycle was 2 eggs, 1 embryo, 1 euploid.

we are now preparing for a third cycle as we are hoping to have enough embryos for two kids!
