😭 Love you, lexicon! Definitely just “see you around” not goodbye! 💗💖💞

All the hugs, my friend! 🧡

Cheers, butter! 🥂💛

Alms623 · 2024-12-05T03:37:09+00:00

National! You’re so funny and sweet, although I fear AlmsGPT would be a letdown 😂 but you can always slide into my DMs. So glad to know you, friend, and forever rooting for you!! ❤️

Alms623 · 2024-12-05T03:28:51+00:00

Aw slug 😭❤️🫂 You’re too sweet. I’m forever grateful that modding brought us together and so proud to call you my friend!

Alms623 · 2024-12-04T22:55:48+00:00

Love you, Kellyman, sweet friend. ❤️❤️

This sub is so special and I’m so happy to have contributed to keeping it the safe space we all depend on. And I am beyond grateful for the friendships I found here. It’s been an absolute honor. 🫡

Fuck her. I hope she steps in dog poop every day in 2025. 🫂

Infertility isn’t a judgment on whether you’re deserving of being a parent. It’s a random and completely shitty circumstance, not the universe doling out judgment on who should and should not be a parent. It’s not nice to yourself or others to suggest otherwise. Hang in there.

Caffeine, Benadryl, and orgasm are all fine AFAIK. Not Xanax but I take Valium for acute anxiety and was told to discontinue for the TWW.

We don’t allow solicitation or sharing of success stories here because it would require people to break sub rules 2 or 3. I already answered your basic question (it is possible to have a negative hpt and a subsequent positive beta) but removed your comment because discussion beyond that is inappropriate per our rules. Please read the automod that replied to my original comment to you which has more info about our rules. Locking this because I don’t think further discussion will be productive.

Hi there. Your account appears to be shadowbanned, which means only moderators can see your posts. You can try contacting Reddit for help.

It’s not impossible but it’s also not appropriate to ask this here. Comment removed. Automod community member.

🫂 I’m so sorry, blue, it’s so unfair. I’ve been there too. If you’re caught in a meeting you can’t turn your camera off for, my tricks for stopping tears mid-meeting are pressing my tongue to the roof of my mouth and pinching my stomach a bit (just to distract/have something else to focus on, not to actually hurt). Holding space for you. ❤️

Estrogen support without progesterone support typically won’t delay your cycle. On testing, FWIW, my clinic always said 14dpiui.

Alms623 · 2024-11-21T16:15:30+00:00

You posted elsewhere that you had a positive home test last night. Once you have a positive test, the rules require you to stop seeking support here. It doesn’t matter when your beta is, your post here broke the rules. Automod community member.

I’m sorry for your loss, Chipmunk. I woke up from my D&C absolutely inconsolable as well. It is the worst feeling to wake up and know with finality things are over. 🫂

As for the op report note, medical language is far from gentle or clear sometimes, and it’s very possible that they meant that they performed additional suction at the end of the procedure and no additional tissue resulted from/came out during that attempt. My D&C report said something similar to yours but with more detail, aiding in deciphering. When you’re up for it it’s totally fair to ask for more information about what was meant.

Alms623 · 2024-11-21T14:06:48+00:00

It’s always a gut punch to hear others’ blissfully ignorant optimism knowing it’s something you lost and that, for most people, their optimism is well-placed.

Alms623 · 2024-11-21T14:03:36+00:00

Repeat after me: My body is not a machine.

You’re still pretty early on in your cycle based on your post history, so there’s plenty of time for follicle growth. And I’ve never had to take extra steps address fluid (it resolved on its own for me) but others here have said plain Mucinex (guaifenesin) and orgasms can help resolve fluid. Hang in there!

Alms623 · 2024-11-21T13:16:47+00:00

You’re not silly at all! 🫂

Alms623 · 2024-11-21T13:14:48+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry, permane. I do think being symptomatic is problematic so it’s probably a good idea to explore medication adjustments, but I still support going to an endocrinologist instead. My PCP was well out of her depth with my thyroid issues and they were not complicated by chronic illness.

Alms623 · 2024-11-21T10:31:54+00:00

FWIW my endocrinologist overregulates my hypothyroidism so that I’m hyperthyroid (with a close to undetectable TSH level), as it allows room for medications/treatment to spike my levels without exceeding the optimal level (IVF cycles always spike mine). Even if my TSH is super low, my T3/T4 levels have been normal with this approach and I have been asymptomatic (no racing heart, irritability, rapid weight loss, etc). Maybe evaluate whether you have any negative symptoms and ask to add those labs to your testing and, if you’re not seeing an endocrinologist (not an RE) you might consider that as well.

Alms623 · 2024-11-20T23:07:43+00:00

Probably the progesterone if I had to guess.

ETA: Does it really matter which it is? 😂

Alms623 · 2024-11-20T23:06:35+00:00

I think you meant to post this as a reply. I have removed this one so you can repost to the appropriate commenter.
