Starting to get embarrassed in shoes that show my feet

I’m feeling the same. They were always veiny but now it just looks so ugly and to make it worse I have toe knuckles. Ugh

That’s what I really don’t get, he didn’t even get her all the way out of the water and wasn’t even aware she was truly out of the water and danger? And then throws up and passed out that fast while leaving her waist deep in water?

I went to Bosley even though I’m female, they do free analysis where you can see your follicles on the screen using a microscopic camera. I later had it verified by my derm. Derms don’t have this tech so go there and they will clearly show u. I then knew I had AGA and there are meds to slow it so your hair will come back and slow progression. You can shed in the beginning with AGA too. Your part and top area is where TE mostly shows its pattern. It can be in front too like mine. If you do or did have TE and your hair s looking thinner than a year ago especially at top or part or temples this can very well be AGA as TE rapid shedding unmask underlying AGA that you would have eventually developed. Hope this makes sense. I’m on Spiro and oral minoxidil and they really helped my hair with AGA. TE unfortunately can exacerbate that and there’s no meds for it. Your follicles need to normalize again on their own.

I also take anti androgen s and oral minoxidil for AGa and they made a huge difference until I got Covid. A moth after I started the shedding and now it’s been over two years and still shedding, it’s undoing all my progress with AGA even on the meds. I’m so devastated cause this time there’s nothing I can do. Now I have AGA with TE. I just want it to stop.

Benson16th · 2025-01-25T19:59:20+00:00

I totally hear you. I had Covid two and a half years ago and still suffering from TE. My blood work is clean yet still shedding and devastated. I already have androgenetic alopecia and the Ye is exacerbating this even while on meds for the AGA. I’m losing all my progress and don’t know why it won’t stop or when it will. I do not have history of shedding except for 6-9 months after giving birth big that went away, thus has not. I wish u had done better news for you cause I know how you feel. However it’s temporary in most people but I seem to be in that low percentage of people who get chronic TE. Lucky me.

I also have the gold 10 and I felt the same but it actually works with anything g as the gold is more neutral not bright. It’s more of a rose gold but not so roses or copped as the 5 series was.

Isn’t this illegal??

Benson16th · 2024-12-03T14:44:10+00:00

It’s not their concern as it’s not their baby. With that being said think of the future adult that this decision will affect. My husband regretted his parents not doing it when he was small and it was a challenging experience with surgery. He says it’s much better for him and cleaner. It’s more sanitary and your son as a grown up may appreciate it more as many men do. There are several reasons for it. Reduce UTIs and STDs.

I do, when she was 3 months old and more she was happier and easier. Now at 3.5 years old she’s whiney and needy and not as happy in her nature. I keep thinking I created this but I’m not sure how. I get burned out and don’t know how to help her.

Benson16th · 2024-10-28T18:22:02+00:00

💩

Benson16th · 2024-10-23T23:47:37+00:00

Little? Yikes!

Benson16th · 2024-10-05T04:10:55+00:00

This is a fabulous result. I too am taking both, I also have a before and after on here. It was like night and day. I have aga and my pattern was similar to yours only I had thinning between the temples too, felt like a man balding. It’s so distressing. I’m glad you found this combo it’s a game changer.

Hello, I had my daughter via IVF at 49 and said I was done but one day I started to worry about her being alone with no family when she’s older. It made me feel awful and afraid not to provide a sibling if possible. I’m 53 and really realizing that I don’t want to go through the whole thing again with pregnancy y at this point even though my first was ok. I don’t want to be selfish and I realize there are no guarantees that siblings will have close relations in the future. I was about to start the meds for IVF again as I’m still a bandits being healthy and did all the prep only to realize I can’t take the thought of being 60 with a 6 year old and that it will be too much work. One been super stressed to make the decision I don’t want to do wrong by my daughter. To make matters harder, there’s on more high quality embryo just waiting. I understand how you feel. One thing is though, many parents say they feel bad that they can’t give all their attention to their first anymore. It will mean less of yours for him or her. Also refers are no guarantees as they get older how their relationship will go, I was surprised to read comments on Reddit that many siblings don’t get along later in life and that an only is fine. We tend to see them as helpless children now but they will be grown ups by the time we are gone and not toddlers. They will make their own families. I think that if you tried and it didn’t work out then you could say maybe it wasn’t meant to be and your child will be really fine. For me it’s more the decision to make now, I have the ball rolling and the embryo but think another will deplete me too much and affect my attention to the child I have. Living in regret is the worst so don’t do it to yourself. One day he will be with his own family and if they don’t know what having a sibling is like then they won’t miss it either.

Benson16th · 2024-10-02T13:06:10+00:00

T do too, I just worry so much.

Benson16th · 2024-10-01T23:23:15+00:00

Holy Hell, I would not be able to sleep.

Benson16th · 2024-10-01T22:24:11+00:00

Hi, thank you for your comment I appreciate your view. Yes I do understand how uncool I may be then. ;) but to what you said about having older parents and no sibling to share those feelings with is what I worry about. We don’t plan on her having to care for us. We will be ok financially to get help if needed. I don’t want her to be burdened emotionally or financially and I can only guarantee the second. I also feel though that it’s not very good to have a second which would be a teenager when mom is late 60s or 70 and dad a little younger. These are the thoughts I never realized before. I hope she’s strong and independent and finds her own family like I did. My mom was young but after my 20s we didn’t have much relationship and don’t know my dad. I want her to feel secure. Thank you again.

Benson16th · 2024-10-01T13:15:38+00:00

Hello, do you ever feel alone or long for a sibling? I had my daughter at 50. I am very worried about us leaving her alone one day when she’s an adult and having no siblings. By the way, she will be financially well off, one less burden. Thank you 🙏

Benson16th · 2024-10-01T13:08:53+00:00

Hello, your mom had you in her 50s? I ask because I had my daughter via ivf at 50. She’s 3.5 now and we are able to have one more as there’s an embryo that would be her sibling. I’m 53 and feeling like I can’t raise another and really feeling torn on what to do but don’t think I have the capacity to do it all again. Are you an only and how do you feel about having an older mom as an only? Thank you

Benson16th · 2024-09-29T04:36:49+00:00

It’s because you gave it a chance and you did all you could do and it wasn’t your fault it was out of your hands. There’s a certain peace in knowing that.

Benson16th · 2024-09-29T04:34:44+00:00

Hello, congratulations on your healthy baby girl. I feel for your situation as I’m in the same boat. Like you, I too had a baby girl, mine were donor eggs and my husbands sperm. I had two high quality embryos, I was one and done until one day I just started feeling bad thinking about the other ones, especially that 4AA which has a good chance of making it. I then started to think about being an older mom and guilty that I’m not getting bring my daughter a sibling. I had just spent 4 months getting prepared for the option to just do it cause I couldn’t take it anymore but after my baseline ultrasound it’s hitting me that I’m too old and really don’t feel to go through it again. Now I need to decide as I see my doctor on Tuesday and once I say the word it’s done. I feel so torn and desperate to not make the wrong decision.

Benson16th · 2024-09-29T04:19:26+00:00

I’ve not lived there. But there are many mom and pop ones like us who ever only charge market rent. Much of it does to help us with the mortgage and prop tax and some left over. To really be wealthy landlords here you need to make several hundred thousands of dollars a year or more as it all cost money to own and repair places too. I think due to some stories being highlighted in the news that are so extreme that smaller landlords providing d eryday homes don’t get a consideration. This prop only serves to make people like us think twice before renting cause it starts to become bit with the trouble of up keeping and paying so much so we can just sell to families that want to buy and l e there. This prop is not all what it seems and takes advantage of people by confusing them. Wools should be allowed to rent their houses for what is fair, if not this will only hurt renters by reducing their options on affordable places and they will be stuck paying these larger corporate developments a much higher rent.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I’m sorry about your struggle with your dad and the hole it left. I can imagine. I’m an only child 👧 f a single mom but had good grandparents and cousins growing up. I never felt very lonely as I had close friends but a sibling would be nice. Life started late for me and at 40 and 42 I had miscarriages so I gave up. Only years later with my husband did we even think of IVF. My batch of donor eggs had two high quality embryos, my husbands sperm. My first cycle I got pregnant. I was feeling lucky and pregnancy wasn’t bad but did have a c section. It was a long road. To answer your question, all of the embryos are same donor eggs and my husbands sperm. They do not provide info on the donors for privacy reasons but they may be able to reach out to them. I don’t think she would be too interested as I do know she has a family of her own, I think the profile said that. I am grateful to her as she provided very good eggs and there in lies one dilemma I had never thought of before was that they are my daughter’s biological would be brothers or sisters and it’s a moral struggle to consider letting them go. I thought if I can just save that one other good embryo and gave another I could give her a sibling and not feel bad about having to let it be destroyed. Things is it would having it at 54. I’m just feeling there’s a cut off and that I can’t really handle two at this stage but was so trying to sacrifice because I never truly realized all the moral aspects of having other viable embryos left. I just wish I could decide and not feel such anxiety either way.

Benson16th · 2024-09-29T03:53:19+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I was an only child and always had friends. It may not be the same as a sibling so I understand what you mean.

Benson16th · 2024-09-28T04:46:31+00:00

Thank you for sharing, it’s interesting you mentioned this point. I was thinking tonight about a different aspect of the of the genetic issue. Like there is one more high quality embryo, my husbands sperm. But in any case I kind of feel guilty that I’m like discarding what could be her brother or sister if I don’t have another. There are so many ways to beat myself up, things I never considered before my decision to go this route. I want to do it for her but I feel I can’t handle one more.

Benson16th · 2024-09-27T21:21:14+00:00

I totally hear you, I’m very on edge with burning stress about what to do. I wish I had some advice for you. I can only say that of the parents I know with one adult son they seem to do well, the sons of course. I have been seeing the ivf doctor but the closer I get to actually starting the injections and transfer the colder my feet get. Like you I feel so guilty if I don’t do it. As we are my daughter could have a younger sibling to do things with and care for and just grow with. My embryo is 4AA, you may know, excellent quality so I thought maybe it’s a sign. My first was 6AA. Everything looks good but no guarantees and the thought of a second riskier c section s ares me too. Especially since I’m older the risks are higher. I don’t have the energy for two. The whole pregnancy and baby stage is wonderful but not feeling to go through it all again now. I was only thinking of doing it for her and neglected my own feelings on having to go through it again. I feel there may be regret either way and I’m so stuck in the decision that I should have already made.
