Decaf coffee & espresso

Does anyone know if coffee made with the water decaffeination method and/or the carbon dioxide decaffeination method are safe, or do they involve synthetic chemicals?

Are you sticking with your (high biomechanical load) dance practice during pregnancy?

For those who do dances like flamenco, with high biomechanical load, heavy vibrations, and lots of stomping— how far into pregnancy did you stick with your practice? What modifications did you need? How long were your sessions and how frequent?

I find even in my first trimester that my heart rate is higher during zapateada, I feel hotter.

Receptiva 1.5 —to suppress or not?

The cutoff for a negative result is 1.4, so my result of 1.5 is positive. Nevertheless, it’s so close that I’m wondering what others have done with this score, in terms of suppression. Lupron side effects are su serious, that I wonder whether I should suppress when I’m so close to a negative result.

What would/did you do in this situation?

Any success stories of stalled growth that turned out well?

My NP says our embryo (at 7 wk 3 days scan) was in a wierd position, curled up, and hard to measure. She thinks it a possible that the apparent stalled growth is due at least in part to this positioning. She said she likes what she sees wrt to the growth of the yolk sac and gestational sac, she sees no breeding. Fhr is on the low side as well. Does anyone have success stories that have turned out well? Will be doing a repeat scan.

Early hcg slowdown

Based on first day of last period, we are 4wks 2days. Our first beta doubled in 30 hrs, second one doubled in 74 hrs. Wondering if anyone has stories either way with numbers like these. We are way too low in total hcg for this to be the typical slowdown that occurs in higher numbers.

What is week [x]? How do we count weeks?

As I watch videos and read info , I’m trying to understand what is meant by, for example, “week 9”. Is “week 9” the 9th week, when you are 8 weeks and some days pregnant, or does “week 9” refer to the tenth week, when you would be 9 weeks and some days pregnant. Thanks!

Monitoring after first beta, until week 9

Wondering about the type and frequency of testing and monitoring others had after their first positive beta. How many betas and how often? When did you move on to your first scan, and what was the purpose of the first scan? Any other scans or blood tests that were done prior to moving to your OB’s practice? Thank you.

Husband wants a third ER before donor eggs

Wondering how other couples decided when the time was right.

We completed two ERs, the second was devastating . I felt unwell, got high BP, an endometrioma and no embryos. We do have an embryo from the first ER.

We are speaking with a clinic in Europe to arrange DE in late summer/autumn. When I imagine going on this trip and possibly coming back pregnant, it is absolutely thrilling to me. If this is how my baby is meant to come to me, I can’t wait to meet him or her and I don’t want any more delay.

I am also concerned about the possible impact on my health if any more ER. (My BP is usually low, and I didn’t have an endometrioma on the first ER, so what the heck happened there?) If we did another ER, my RE suggested a modified natural round. RE says we’re still candidates for IVF, but I feel ready to move on to success. I’m done with struggle and I’m done hoping to be part of a lucky 1%. The odds of DE are so much more hopeful. I’m ready for ease, health and motherhood.

Husband says he will do whatever I want, but he wants to try an ER again. I want to honor his feelings as well as mine.

We have a great relationship and we will work this out. I’m more wondering what lenses or perspectives others used to decide when to stop ER and try a DE round. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

Sephardic use of Noelia

This came up for me and my husband as a possible middle name for our baby girl. There is a very prominent woman in the Hispanic/Sephardic Jewish community named Noelia. I was intrigued by that, since I like the name, but always associated it with “Noel”. I did a little research, and learned that is sometimes considered a variant of the Hebrew name “Noa”. Anyway, curious as to how others of Hispanic/Sephardic descent view this name.

Hi, wondering if anyone has gotten pregnant the same cycle as their receptiva test. If so, what was your experience? I know some docs allow sex during the cycle and some don’t.
