Experience transferring untested embryos?

Hi! We had our embryos tested after our retrieval. However, few embryos came back as inconclusive, which they said can be treated as untested embryos and transferred. Anyone has experience transferring untested embryos? What should we expect?

Childhood/Family Tree

So like when my kids start asking about my childhood wtf am I supposed to say? I got rid of the few things I did have from my past because while these things meant something to me, they were also proof of a life I don’t want to remember. It sucks but my life was literally all abuse and trauma. My “family” story coul...

Going to try for baby #2 in a few months.

What do you recommend I do to prepare ? Vitamins? Exercise ? Finish small projects ? I know I’ve already gone through the whole experience but it wasn’t planned like this one will be.

Normal?

Hi, I’m really new to this and this is my first time using tests. Is it normal to go from such a low result to a high result within a day? Does this result mean I’m ovulating? I’ve read a lot on it but it is confusing and overwhelming to take in. Thanks

Missed peak?

The darkest test I’ve gotten was cycle day 16. I think I may have missed my peak as it dropped so much afterwards? What do you all think. I have had EWCM for 5 days and had cramps yesterday…

Racism? in childcare

Hey mamas, I need to vent for a sec. My son’s nursery has been great overall, but something keeps happening that’s really bothering me. There’s another Black boy in his room (adorable but looks nothing like my son), but for some reason, the staff keeps mixing them up. I’ve literally seen the other child wearing my ...
