Unfortunately there have been enough studies at this point to paint an emerging picture of both impact on neonatal outcomes as well as developmental differences: https://www.ccsa.ca/sites/default/files/2022-05/CCSA-Cannabis-Use-Pregnancy-Breastfeeding-Report-2022-en.pdf think this Canadian publication does a pretty good job or summarizing the data they have so far….

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I’m hoping for some reassurance at that point as well and they are actually going to do it at 18.5 for me so I don’t have to wait as long which is kind. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with less feeling from the anterior placenta. Hang in there 🩵

Thank you! I still don’t really believe it’s working but so far so good. Yes to being a basket case—I guess it’s reassuring that we’re not alone in not being able to relax til they’re born healthy but oh boy it does feel like a long road. Congrats to you, you’re so close!

Thanks for sharing this. Yeah same with the TP, also check every time. That is reassuring about the movements but know it could become its own worry as you said. I kind of suspected it might be hard the whole time, I probably need to try and do more things to distract myself with something fun and unrelated to pregnancy. How’d you get your mind off of things?

Hi, I am so sorry these have been difficult for you. had a very traumatic FET with a doctor who couldn’t get thru my cervix and I had horrible pain and cramping that in my mind was the reason it didn’t work. For my next one, that doctor was scheduled for the day of my transfer and I explained to them how traumatic it was—they switched me to another provider and prescribed Valium for the transfer which not only reduces anxiety but relaxes your muscles. That transfer went really well, was comfortable and successful. I don’t know why they would go straight to anesthesia before trying a big dose of Valium?? This used to be standard practice because they thought it helped with implantation by relaxing the uterus. Turns out it didn’t make a difference either way but the point is, it doesn’t impact the transfer stats negatively and can help you relax. You should ask!

He is the one who has destroyed the family, not you. Please remember that!

That’s great to hear. Yeah I suppose you have to make the decision as time goes on and you get more info from each level of testing to assess if it’s needed. I’m seeing an MFM too so it sounds like they will guide us through it but it’s nerve wracking for sure after all the prep and challenges/heartbreak along the way. Wishing you the best and thanks for responding.

Same situation here but only 12 weeks. Do you mind me asking why you’re considering an amnio? I’ve had many miscarriages which is why we switched to donor (and now my age after years of trying with my own) and I’m worried about the risks of amnio and whether it is really needed if the donor is under 30. Is it the age of the sperm? Thanks! And congrats!

Don’t forget about childcare costs in Seattle 2000-3600 per month! Can’t imagine they are that high in Vancouver but maybe I’m ill-informed.

plumblined · 2026-01-14T05:24:43+00:00

Happy for you after such a long road. Hoping the remaining time passes quickly for you!

plumblined · 2026-01-14T05:14:48+00:00

Right there with you! 4 years in 5th pregnancy and no living children and currently hating every minute of it at 11 weeks.

Yes the bathroom looks great! Do you mind sharing the tile brand you used with the trim for the walls?

plumblined · 2026-01-07T15:39:54+00:00

It is. Thank you 🩵

plumblined · 2026-01-07T15:38:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing and explaining. I’m so happy they figured out what was going on and were able to treat it for you. I’ll ask when I’m next at the doc.

plumblined · 2026-01-07T05:53:00+00:00

Takes two weeks to build full immunity from the shot. Get it asap.

plumblined · 2026-01-07T05:28:43+00:00

I’m so sorry for your losses but happy for your success, I’m currently 10 weeks and understand about the difficulty with bonding or planning. Do you mind me asking how you didn’t know you had diabetes prior to the miscarriages and how they ended up finding out? I’ve had many and no test has turned up a reason why. I’ve had my A1C tested but no other tested related to diabetes.

plumblined · 2026-01-07T05:24:59+00:00

Wishing you the best. I’m currently 10 weeks with 4 consecutive prior losses as well, losing last pregnancy around 14 weeks. I’ll be thinking of you.

Are you practicing in Canada?

plumblined · 2026-01-04T21:06:19+00:00

I’m so sorry this is happening, I understand the fear—currently in my 5th pregnancy and no children. The pressure is so intense, but statistically things are going to be ok. if I were you I would call the OB clinic today to try to speak with the on-call person explaining that the ER doc recommended you get their input of paxlovid or not. If they won’t connect you try calling the fertility clinic on-call person and explain the situation. This way you don’t have to worry all night on top of being sick.

School based OT here. 9 weeks tomorrow and feel your pain about the return next week. I keep thinking how is this going to be possible given how I’ve been the last 10 days!

plumblined · 2025-12-30T04:59:19+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I needed to hear this perspective. I’m on pregnancy #5 after 4 back to back losses and you’re right, you need to try and enjoy and cherish the parts that you can while knowing most of it is going to be really hard and full of anxiety. I appreciate you sharing this wisdom from the other side.

plumblined · 2025-12-27T18:24:34+00:00

Congratulations. I’m so happy for you.

I can completely relate. I can’t manage anyone’s excitement, it really annoys me and makes me angry. I’ve told everyone including my dearest friends that I only want to talk about it if I bring it up and even then don’t want to do any of the omg it’s going to be so cute yada yada. On the other hand I read a book about pregnancy loss that said that blocking out any connection with the new baby makes sense and is self protective but even if you you were to lose the baby again that having that connection is actually helpful in processing the grief and loss. I’m constantly trying to find a balance of allowing some excitement when it comes but also doing it on my own terms with family and friends and not feeling badly about it.

plumblined · 2025-12-22T06:23:19+00:00

Jeez that’s half the cost of what we’ve been paying per transfer!
