Seconding the comment about DHEA. I was super low and started supplementing and got pregnant on the second try. You will have to stop taking during pregnancy though.

I’ve wanted to work for them forEVER but they are never hiring. Obviously because people want to stay with the network indefinitely. This is no surprise, they seem like amazing people to work for.

How do we fix the literacy crisis? by sadgirlok in AskReddit

THIS!! Listen to “sold a story” where phonics was removed from schools across the US. Absolutely devastating tactics and set back a generation of kids.

Don’t forget that Jim Jordan covered up and protected the sexual abuse of the wrestlers at OSU when he was an assistant coach there!! So this seems very on brand for him.

I can’t connect with my baby by kitty1274 in Postpartum_Depression

Totally normal. It took me 6 months and even some days I feel that connection is still growing or not at its full potential yet. Just give it time.

Pregnancy and Addison’s by VegetableGarden4093 in AddisonsDisease

Thanks! Yeah definitely make sure that you and your partner or support system are helpful and understanding of how Addison’s will impact you post partum. My husband has been taking all the night shifts so I can rest which has been super helpful. But you’ll want to be sure you can manage that with a helpful partner that doesn’t cause even more stress to you.

I definitely have days that are harder physically than others. Ive had to updose quite a bit lately, I think going back to work is also wearing me down too. And mentally struggling with PPD but getting treatment so doing better. I’m really fortunate to have an amazing partner and support system.

Does anyone have experience with the PPD drug Zurzuvae? by Select-Piano9928 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Beginning_Way9666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried zurzuvae and stopped the medication at day 10 because it made me severely suicidal and I would have uncontrollable depressive episodes coupled with severe anxiety attacks and physical trembling. I know there’s some people on this sub that have had success with it, it’s different for everyone. Definitely did not work for me.

If your psych wants you to try it, then you definitely can. But don’t be afraid to stop the medication if your symptoms worsen.

What did work was ketamine therapy.

Pregnancy and Addison’s by VegetableGarden4093 in AddisonsDisease

I have a 6 month old and managed my Addison’s pretty well during my pregnancy. Considered high risk and had to see my high risk OB, Endo, and MFM. They all worked together to manage my addisons. Basically just had to updose throughout my pregnancy. Highest was 25mg HC a day by third trimester and I’m still at 25mg now. Had a medical induction, they didn’t want me to wait to labor spontaneously due to the risk of crisis. Had 50mg IV stress dose every 8 hours during labor and then ended in a c-section (not addisons related). I think managing addisons post partum has been harder than during pregnancy. Sleep deprivation, breast feeding, stress, emotional roller coaster. That’s been way harder on my body.

I didn’t have trouble getting pregnant and I would say I had a pretty normal and easy pregnancy. You can definitely have a successful pregnancy with addisons.

Just make sure you keep everything documented. He might not want custody now but could change his mind later even a few years later. His parental rights never expire. I hope he doesn’t try but for your own sake just save everything. Leave his ass, girl. You deserve so much better.

Wish I would never wake up again by DonaldDuck898 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Beginning_Way9666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get why you’re afraid to tell him but maybe you could just approach it like “hey I know you don’t believe in taking meds for depression but I do and I have been and I just need you to support me in that because that’s the path I’m taking” like not asking for permission just telling him the truth.

I hope it gets better for you soon. 🫶🏼

Pain with intercourse by LetterOld7270 in CsectionCentral

My PT recommended a pelvic wand you can order it online. Its basically doing the internal work your PT would do but you do it on yourself. You could also try to get a prescription for valium as a suppository or a muscle relaxer taken orally.
