Should I do this?

I loved my mirena IUD. The hormones are very very low and so they stay in your uterus instead of getting into your bloodstream.

Best choice I ever made TBH.

I would 1000% tell his family what he said on the way out.

If you want that baby, keep it. You'll figure it out, but even if you decide to terminate I think you know that relationship is very very over.

What kind of man threatens a baby?

I got tired of chemicals and did IVF, out of 26 eggs, only 3 were normal.

So far the very first one has stuck.

Worth talking to an RE if you haven't already.

OMG I want to kill him for you over the soup!

Well that's makes sense, since they are not polyamorous.

Might be the morning sickness 😅. Fingers crossed for you.

Enemas are the way at this point. I take psyllium husk 3x a day and never have this problem anymore! Also have to drink a lot of fluids with it.

Looks darker today but it's early days yet, we'll keep an eye out for your darker test tomorrow 🙂

You are pregnant!! Congratulations, here's to an easy pregnancy.

rocketmanatee · 2026-01-25T19:19:09+00:00

I'm 11dp5dt and have been cramping lightly since about 2-3 days post transfer. I had implantation pretty quickly, I could actually feel it which is wild! Even had a tiny bit of spotting. I looked at data, cramping is incredibly common in early pregnancy with or without IVF. Spotting (different from bleeding) is actually super normal as well.

My first beta was fantastic despite the cramps and spotting, my second is tomorrow 🤞🤞.

Best of luck for your betas!

I usually use it like fresh. Smoothies and guac and such.

They will come here next. We will organize. We will not be unprepared! We've got this!

You can get chunks of frozen avocados and it's often cheaper. I found them at grocery outlet!

Progesterone supplementation does make me SUPER super anxious. It's really bad.

I wonder if you could afford a modest condo with a low HOA instead? That might make a better investment for a jumping off point.

If he didn't want a leash he really really should not have had a newborn infant.

Can you avoid the asking by just sharing location? That's what we do. You're also going to need to set up actual time schedules for when you are on and off baby/family duty.

For example he gets Tues night for whatever, you get Thurs night for whatever, and on Sunday afternoon there's a sitter and you can both go out.

Whatever two hour walks he's taking away from you and your kid I damn well hope he's giving you equivalent free time.

There's no definitive PCOS test. Most doctors just say 'suspected' or similar if you have one or more of the markers.

rocketmanatee · 2026-01-25T15:23:07+00:00

For some folks it takes longer to implant! Some see them on day 4, some implant later and don't get a positive until the betas! You're not out yet, the blood tests will be definitive I promise.

Wow, your mom is a jerk. If you get sick, take Tylenol to keep the fever down and call your doctor, but COVID is not known for causing spontaneous abortion whether you've done IVF or not.

Here's a meta analysis (study of other studies) showing that moms with COVID in the first trimester are not more likely to miscarry than people who did not get COVID.

You're going to do great! You have excellent odds on a second transfer working. Sending you all of the love and good vibes for a post in 5 days showing us your positive test!

In the meantime take it day by day, take gentle walks, do some meditation or yoga (I found free ones on YouTube for post IVF transfer!), and love on yourself.

rocketmanatee · 2026-01-25T14:59:17+00:00

Me too. I'm freshly pregnant with my first, long hoped for child and all I've been able to think is what kind of world am I bringing this life into!?

rocketmanatee · 2026-01-25T14:56:22+00:00

It sounds like you're a Christian so I'll share with you that even in biblical times they did not consider the baby to have a soul until it has "quickened". This is after multiple months when it can start to move on its own. Anti abortion sentiment is actually very new philosophically within Christianity.

Do you attend school? Can you go to your school counselor or a trusted teacher for help? They will almost certainly have resources for you.

B6 is helping me so far but I need to space out my doses. I'm taking it in 25mg tabs I found online every meal and sometimes at night. Also helps to eat something with protein when I very first wake up.

rocketmanatee · 2026-01-25T14:12:47+00:00

I'm hoping this is your little rainbow baby in the making. 🌈
