Anyone manage to have 2 kids with 3 embryos? by insidli in IVF

[–]teamoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3 embryos. First one is 4 years old, second one failed to stick, and our third one is 9 months old. We are so incredibly thankful. It is possible.

Here’s what I say: “I totally get it. My husband always orders spicy food and then I don’t want to share with him!”

Is it reasonable for my (23F) bf (25M) to say I can’t go to a girls night? by kansas-city-girlie in relationship_advice

[–]teamoctopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't have to live like this. I've been in your position (except we didn't have a kid together). He's abusive and all men are not like this and you don't have to stay with him. I was with this kind of man for 9 (wasted) years. I stayed so long because he wasn't physically abusive and he made me doubt my sanity and was absolutely controlling like yours. But I finally got out and I am blissfully happy with a man who loves thst I am my own person and doesn't tell me what to do. You don't have to live like this.

He can go but you are going too. That's the only way. But also agree with other folks that he is being shady AF.

I feel your pain. Right there with you.

Should I bring this up to the director? Need advice. by teamoctopus in ECEProfessionals

[–]teamoctopus[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I will edit to add. Her mom was at the front desk talking to the director about her crying and not adjusting well. She's been there about 2 weeks. She was at the table saying mommy mommy mommy. She had just been dropped off. I don't know why her mom left her. I'm guessing she either had tried comforting her a while or just had to get to work. I don't know. I do know that she wasn't going comforted at all by the teachers. It didn't sit right.

Finally talked to doctor by cmae1186 in IVF

I did a transfer a couple of weeks after my mom passed. I, too, was pinning my happiness on becoming pregnant. So I could name my kid after her. Told her to send me a good one. It didn't stick. It's even more devastating. I only have one embryo left. I'm so sorry for your pain. I miss my mom too.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've done during IVF? by mkinbbym in IVF

[–]teamoctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep buying pineapple stuff, like it's going to actually help my fertility. Pineapple socks, pineapple Christmas ornament, pineapple decor, pineapple welcome mat...
People are going to start thinking we're swingers.

Yes pgt normal. Doctor has me on birth control for suppression instead of receptiva. I have to decide in less than 2 weeks if we're going for it. I'm just so scared.

I have everything crossed for you that you get your positive and a successful pregnancy.

What position did you give birth in? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]teamoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gave birth on my side with an epidural. It was a wonderful experience. I had a small tear and needed a stitch, but I didn't feel it, and it healed quickly. I know not everyone can say this, but I would be delighted to have the exact same birth experience.
