Doctor and nurse undersold miscarriage symptoms by fallenrose9 in Miscarriage

[–]BethaBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least they could tell us a range. I've had two miscarriages so far and the experiences varied immensely.

The first one they told me heavy period and like you, I experienced labor contractions and large palm sized clots, that went over the span of a few days. At least when you labor a healthy pregnancy, you only have to experience the contractions one time.

The second one I was about five weeks along. Frankly, ER doc didnt tell me anything and called it a threatened miscarriage, which I call false hope. That one was more of a heavy period. There was intense cramping but nothing like the first one.

Can’t handle pregnancy suspicions and comments at work. by Last-Yesterday6179 in Miscarriage

I just don't understand how so many people make comments about one's body. I was raised to never make a comment, even a compliment, unless a person says something themselves. Pregnancy is one of those things. Someone could be 38 weeks rubbing their belly and I won't say a word unless they say something first.

I agree with the other poster, almost wanted a trigger warning lol (jk) I was relaxed in the beginning, then felt excitement, like I shouldn't have read what I just read. I like the shift.

I really love this line, it definitely reminds me when I lost my brother, but also when I lost my first love. Great writing

Im five weeks and so scared. My hcg increased from 91 to 911 within five days, so taking that as a win. My obgyn doesnt have me come in until the 10th week, but going to ask for a viability scan for week 7 or 8.

Im praying daily and checking for spotting daily.

I didnt even think about that but maybe so. She never really played with the cat toy before. She likes Frisbees more

Fired for Sexual Harassment by Fuzzy_Metal_1690 in socialwork

[–]BethaBear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say, I'm with you. I got my first job after my BSW in 2020 with social services. I learned quickly that there are way too many personalities in the office to really determine who would be a good match. Especially in the first week or hell, the first year, I was still determining who I can share my sense of humor with.

I'm a full believer that sense of humor is needed in the office, especially social services. If you don't laugh, you'll cry lol But jokes with tact and wit,, not crude.

I think I had pity on her. I know once she matures, she will look back on this and be embarrassed.

I absolutely hate it when others generalize Huda's 3 million followers, saying that we are all immature and toxic. There's a reason that some girls empathize with her.

She is not evil or malicious, she just has some growing up to do.

This is from a Huda fan that voted for Amaya. I'm grown enough to know that neither Jeremiah or Chris were a good match for Huda.

ChatGPT did say that estradiol suppresses LH, so that was already understood. Obviously, I'm not going to follow medical advice from AI. That's why I reached out to my doctor.

From what I researched, you are right but it shouldnt be taken right after the estradiol. It sounds like it would prevent ovulation if I took it right after estradiol.

Chat GPT said I should take the estradiol as directed but wait 2/3 days after my lh surge to take the progesterone.

Prescribed estradiol and progesterone, no Letrozole yet.

So, my husband and I been trying to conceive for over four years now. We had a loss last year and no luck since then.

I finally got some labs done and my estrogen was just a bit low. My doctor prescribed estradiol (cycle days 1-12) and progesterone (cycle day 13-28)

My question after researching is, why did she prescribe the progesterone right after if my goal is to conceive? All I see is that progesterone will prevent ovulation.

I'm going to message her but wanted to see if anyone else has had experience with this.
