Rocking chair/ glider recommendations

Looking for recommendations for a rocker/glider for my first baby. I’ve scoured this page and have seen other recs, but I’m looking for some specific things.

Husband is over 6 feet so, preferably one that goes higher than his neck. Also looking for arm rest padding. My parents are buying it for me and I would like to keep the price relatively low, no more than $350 ish area. I live in the south so plush fabric plz 😌

First time mom freebies?

Hi everyone,
I am expecting my first child next year and I keep seeing ads on facebook and instagram about signing up for a free "mom bundles"/ "baby box". Has anyone tried these? Are they legit? It looks like samples of wipes, creams, formulas, bibs, burp cloths, etc.

Have you tried a "baby box" that you loved?
Thanks mommas!

Swimsuits

Hi everyone, kinda embarrassed to post this but what swimsuits are we wearing? I have that upper belly fat right under my breast line and it makes me extremely self conscious.
I don’t mind tankinis but I find they age me (35f) and I need some support for the girls. Help!

About a month ago, I made a post in here inquiring about TTC with PCOS. You guys really made me open my eyes and realize I should NOT be on progesterone cream or testosterone cream, despite my internal med Dr's suggestions. I bought LH strips and my LH never peaked. I saw a fertility Dr in the beginning of April and she confirmed I am not ovulating. It has been absolutely devastating because I had been seeing this Internal medicine Dr, who had put me on hormone creams, for over 6 years for my thyroid (hashimoto's hypothyroid). The fertility Dr also told me that my TSH is WAAAAY to high to support a pregnancy. I saw this internal medicine Dr in FEBRUARY and she told me I "should not have ANY problems getting pregnant and just have to put it in God's hands". I still feel sick to my stomach. I feel like I have been punched in the gut.

I have been off of hormone creams for over a month now and I am seeing a new endocrinologist, referred by my Fertility MD, Monday. She said once we get my TSH lower, currently 4.8, we can start fertility treatment. I am doing LH strips again since being off of hormone creams for over a month and my LH spiked the highest it has ever been, 6.8 last night. I am hoping my body will "wake up" and ovulate on its own, but we will see.

I owe this subreddit a HUGE thankyou.

EDIT TO ADD MY ACCURATE THYROID LABS FROM JANUARY

TSH 2.610

T3 2.6

T4 1.46
