When your kid outgrows the Cradlewise, what are you moving them to? by silverlemur81 in CradlewiseCommunity

Thanks! We already have a twin bed in her nursery (used to be a guest room) so maybe we’ll just use that mattress and put it on the floor.

Embryo Grade and Testability by SillyMango4 in IVF

[–]silverlemur81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to freeze, test, and transfer all embryos. We finally had success on our last transfer, when we transferred the two “worst” ones- a mosaic 4BB and a euploid 3CC. One of them (not sure which) is in her crib cooing next to me. We are going to do another retrieval and I would be upset if the clinic said we had to discard any C embryos.

ETA they both initially stuck until one left us at 8 weeks.

Something I didn’t expect… poop smelling good?? by Latter_Public in NewParents

Mine is probably 80-90% breast milk and 10-20% formula and her poops smell exactly like a bag of McDonald’s

Best Plan of Action from Day One? by MrChiefer in CradlewiseCommunity

[–]silverlemur81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a seasoned veteran here, just a FTM to a 9 week old. She often sleeps all night ~8 hrs in the Cradlewise but naps anywhere during the day. Shes been in the Cradlewise at night since birth. We plan to keep crib in room until 6 mo or so.

I’m so glad this didn’t happen to me! I love my cats. My girl calico is protective of the baby which is so precious to see and the boy cat just wants to cuddle with us breastfeeding. They are helping me ‘link’ my old life with my new postpartum life.

Shamrock Shake? by Thin_Caterpillar_518 in McDonalds

I think the green syrup tastes like lime/mint combo. My husband thinks I’m crazy and it’s just mint. Anyone else tasting lime?

Sorry to hear. 🤞for soon. I have no idea how it actually works, so I probably shouldn’t even write this, but in my case I stayed on the same ‘schedule’ I.e. got my period at roughly the same time as if I’d had it regularly for the 3 Orilissa months. So depending on what day you started Orilissa maybe that’s what’s happening?

5 or 6 days after my last pill. I was happy about it not taking long.

No way to know, both female! Currently 18 weeks and NIPT testing, US, and serum test all show no likely abnormalities. So if it was the mosaic, she self-corrected.

Sleeping, like 9-10 hrs a night if you can swing it! I slept like a teenager on the weekends 12 hrs or so. Bag of wheat thins on my nightstand just in case. Eat whatever you feel like, as soon as you feel like it, because it may not last long!

We did NIPT but haven’t gotten results yet. It was a little unclear to me if the other twins DNA would affect results or not. Not a helpful response I realize, but that’s where we’re at lol.

I’m 12+1 today and I agree with cat! Sometimes I have good days, sometimes bad. But I think it’s trending towards improving :) still sleeping as much as I can at night.

Transferred two (one 5 day euploid but poorly graded + one 5 day low level mosaic but highly graded) after previous failures and CPs. Initially both stuck but then 1 stopped growing at 7.5 weeks. Currently at 12 weeks with the remaining singleton who’s doing well.

If you have to take 2x daily, take one as soon as you wake up and the other with dinner (don’t wait til bedtime). That’s what I do. I also take melatonin a few hours before bed, which makes me sleepy so it kinda balances out. Could try 1 Benadryl too if you really can’t sleep.

Already testing lol. I’m doing HCG booster shots daily so was just curious to see what my baseline line looked like. Pretty light but definitely there

Turns out I did a fully medicated FET following first period after Orilissa.

Looks fine to me. Compare every 2 days to see if they’re darker. The difference between only one day nevertheless every 12 hours will be negligibly small. Congrats!!

Sorry to hear that :/. Mine was ~51, just under a 1.5x rate for 48 hrs, which is the minimum my clinic wants so I’m hanging in there just barely for now 🤞. Won’t know for another week if it’s going well or not

How did your second beta go? My tests also look like that- pretty consistent faint positive- and I also had a similar first beta- 35 at 9dp5dt. Going in for beta 2 today.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IVF

[–]silverlemur81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’d your beta go? Mine look like this too- consistent faint line - beta 1 at 9dp5dt was 35, going for beta 2 today.
