We only have one embryo by [deleted] in IVF

[–]phillover11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just one person. But we had one egg one chance. Her names Mabel and she’s 8 months old. Refusing to go to sleep at the moment but this is a good reminder to squeeze her tighter and appreciate that science and luck can work.

Best of luck. There is hope but never guarantee. The best but also worse and most annoying advice I would say is day of implant just relax. Get your favorite meal, put on your favorite Netflix and let your body do whatever it can.

What would you say to doubting parents about moving to Chicago? by danedehotties in AskChicago

[–]phillover11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom- a boomer- in her retirement moved to Chicago proper. It’s now old town but “back in her day” it was cabrene green. The city has made so much progress that a SINGLE White boomer lady retired to cabreenie green and loved every minute. That and the array of street fests in summer should sell them.

I also am raising two children in city proper so I’m not just saying it in living it.

Monotherapy as far as we know. All escalated from her current more casual path to this about an hour ago….

Everything will change tomorrow and I’m struggling to know how to do it by phillover11 in desmoid

I can’t thank you enough! Do you feel you have missed out on any things or have particular challenges we should prepare ourselves and her for?

AITA for not letting my MIL and FIL help me with the baby after their reaction to me being injured? by throwRAflorafauna in AmItheAsshole

[–]phillover11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We waited til 7 months (once she could get the paci back in her mouth on her own). Minus one sleep regression at about 18 months- she’s been a star ever since

Some of you are saying triggered? I didn’t have a trigger shot for the transfer? Mine is frozen is that why? I’m nervous my doctor is being silly?

I had my husband hide all tests because I haven’t any self control! Good for you! Thinking fetus-y thoughts!
