I pumped and froze more than I could ever use pumping just mid-day working a shorter day than you do in the office (but DD wouldn't take a bottle forever) . . . you can definitely increase your supply by pumping too much. Especially if you pump about as frequently as you feed (because you might pump more than you would feed). I think 2x a day is probably enough--I would stick...

Sorry it didn't go as well as it could have--but hoping you end up with a nice surprise!

I'm a vitamin person, but don't do prenatal while breastfeeding (just a multi and some other stuff).

I read somewhere that the sag is caused by pregnancy, not breastfeeding . . . but I'm not sure about the whole size thing. I haven't seen mine not pregnant or breastfeeding for the better part of 6 1/2 years, but they're definitely deflated (and were small to begin with).
If you all who got bigger don't mind me asking, have you also gained weight overall??

Great number! Add me to the list of twin guessers[:)]

I'm so sorry--but hope you find at least some peace in knowing for sure. Enjoy the wine tonight . . . and move on to planning your next move a little later.[HB]

I had this with DD. She had a bit of a tongue tie, but otherwise, her latch was just fine--I don't think it's true that this only happens with a bad latch. I think I got it because DD was a great breastfeeder from the start (my nipples didn't know what was coming, lol). It was horrible. I used laninoh and breastmilk. It helped a little. I wanted to cry for a whi...

First of all, call the lab, harass, whine, cry, whatever. They'll get it done--seriously, they will (I've been there). Second, if you can't get them to do it, poas. You have waited long enough that your poas results are as good as beta. I know you're thinking it's not a +, so what do you really have to lose? Knowledge is always better. You only stand to win...

I would definitely cycle again . . . high tech can make you a little crazy, and I think you definitely need to know when to stop. BUT, I think it works for most ("fertile") people in about 3 cycles. So, I think if you have the $, and you need that many, you should go for it.[2C]

Keep the pillow in the car or stroller. You might not want to whip the pillow out at the restaurant, lol, but you can take a quick trip to the car, restroom, or a more secluded location. Cradle is definitely best in public. I think it helps to cross your leg and rest on that (not as high as the pillow, but it helps). Once your baby is a little bigger, it's a lot e...

DS2 was like that . . . he would seriously go a few times during each feeding (I would think he was done, change him, and within 5 minutes he would go again--and this would often repeat several times!). I think maybe his digestive system was just a little immature--it didn't seem to be tied to anything I was eating (it was all the time!). It stopped after maybe 6 weeeks or so--alt...

[Y] I know so many people who "couldn't" breastfeed[:^)] I had a terrible time with DS1 at first, but perservered--so I hate hearing about people who just can't do it. I try not to be judgmental about this, because I do think that how to feed your baby is a personal decision. And maybe it's that judgment that causes people to say that they can't or give up so soon? ...

I think it's a boy's name. Contessa is nice. I like Tessa better--it was on my very short girl name list.

Bleeding can happen, even with a bfp . . . I admire your attitude, but definitely don't think you should be giving up! Definitely could be good news on beta day[pray]

So far, yes. But she's only 19 months[:D] She's everything I expected and more--a girly girl so far (who would think a one year old could love dresses and dolls?), incredibly smart, and just plain charming. But of course, my boys are also everything I expected and more[:-)]

Love boppy, and still use it with my toddler. We have them all over the house, and until recently I had one in my car at all times, lol--I'm a big fan[:)]

Good for you. I'm doing the same for now, but I'm concerned DD will never stop[worried] Nice to know that some kids do!

Sounds perfect!!
Exact same thing happened to me--definitely made me glad I tested for some abnormalities!
Good luck!!
