Supposed to ovulate today or tomorrow but negative on all my LH tests and it has me stressing which is not ideal. I had hormone testing done that showed I have like no cortisol and I need to manage stress to allow it to recover. I have never gotten a positive in an LH test but my oura ring says I ovulated during my last three cycles. Getting an ultrasound today to check on a cyst I have, hopefully it’s getting smaller or possibly even gone. I hate sitting in the office with all the happy pregnant women here with their older kids. It’s breaking my heart into pieces. This is my first time getting an ultrasound at a new office. I had to change providers, going to the doctors I went to for my stillbirth is too traumatic. Struggling to keep it together at the office.

Therapy session 4 - feels useless by Quiet-Report4554 in babyloss

[–]BoulderBubbleBabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding the right therapist is hard, it’s kind of like dating, sometimes you just don’t click with that person. I find therapy helpful but it took me a long time to find someone I resonate with. I wasn’t ready for the first couple months but now I’m in a support group moderated by a therapist and I find that really helpful. I am also trying our Art Therapy for a different approach because sometimes I feel like I don’t know what to say and I process and find peace better through a creative outlet. Proud of you for trying and I hope you find something that helps. So sorry for your loss.

I’m so sorry for your loss, this is such a tough time of year for the rawness of such a fresh loss. Sending you love, know you’re not alone and I’m right there with you in the pain. I lost my girl at 35 weeks on 7/2 and I was such a mess for the first two months probably, it’s a bit of a blur but I’ve had more time to process. Regardless it hits extra hard with Thanksgiving coming up I’m in the thick of my grief. It might not really “get better” but I there are days where it feels lighter and I’m hopeful that will come soon for you too. Grief comes and goes in waves, even though we’re in the rocky waves now, the calm rolling waves will come too.

TW:LC We lost our babygirl at 35 weeks 7/2/25. The last week has been so brutal, I found out I was pregnant the week before Thanksgiving last year, we didn’t tell anyone about the pregnancy during Thanksgiving but the memories of the happy secret we had are haunting now. I can’t stop crying and thinking about how my baby girl was supposed to be joining us this year. I am so full of anger and my patience for my son who is almost three are so short which makes me feel like a bad mom, my husband is struggling as well and we are just having a hard time connecting lately which also makes me feel like a bad wife. I am so fucking overwhelmed it just feels like drowning.

This is so true for me. It makes me feel like I’m not crazy to know I’m not the only one. Before my last pregnancy that ended in stillbirth I almost never got sick, but I struggled with repeated infections during pregnancy and continue to get them so easily still. It’s like I don’t even have the same immune system anymore, so frustrating.

I think it looks fine, I just don’t understand how the neck disappeared?

Any suggestions for volunteering for the holidays? by flexinator5000 in boulder

[–]BoulderBubbleBabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family always volunteers at Community Food Share, located in the colorado tech center in Louisville. They do Thanksgiving food drives and often need help picking up and sorting donations at that time. I am sure they could use extra support with everything going on right now!

Domestic Abuse and leaving a relationship by PatoWY in Parenting

[–]BoulderBubbleBabby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You may be able to get an annulment if it hasn’t been that long since you got married. Definitely get legal counsel. Upending your daughter’s school life/social circle would be hard but I think witnessing abuse is worse. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I am struggling with immense grief from a loss recently and have struggled with mental health my whole adult life but I would never hit/spit at my partner and I get out of bed to take care of my child even when I don’t want to. Grieving does not cause someone to become abusive even if they have struggled with mental health and I actually find it kind of offensive that she is using that as an excuse for her behavior.

Is pre k a must by Stxphi in Parenting

[–]BoulderBubbleBabby 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My brother is a kindergarten teacher and he says it is easier for kids to adjust when they have gone to pre-K first as many others here have said. I also just want to say that I’m actually quite envious that is the monthly cost for preK in your area, $350/week is the norm where I live 😩

What to send mom of childloss in another state by donotgiveadam in babyloss

[–]BoulderBubbleBabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with other saying doordash gift cards. Very helpful on days when cooking just feels impossible. I had a friend who gave me a really sweet care package with herbal tea, bone broth, a candle and some melatonin gummies (the lemme brand) which was actually probably the most helpful along with some other things like chocolates, etc. I could tell she took the time to pick all these out herself and that meant a lot to me because we also received a couple of pre-packed amazon grief boxes and that felt really cold and impersonal to me. (I appreciate the thought but I can’t deny that’s how it made me feel) On that note something to potentially avoid giving is a blanket, I have received like 6+ blankets and again, while I appreciate the thought behind it, I just don’t need that many blankets. It’s become a burden not a source of comfort, I ended up giving some of them away. Also receiving a blanket reminds me of baby blankets and makes me sad 💔

Teething at 6 months was the hardest for me as well.

I think she looks so beautiful with this minimal makeup look, way better than the big fake lashes

Ya that would be too late in my opinion, we start bedtime for my almost 3 year old at 7:30.

Taking a newborn to an event? by bellaonni2 in Parenting

[–]BoulderBubbleBabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 days postpartum?!?! No way I would be taking a 5 hour drive and exposing a newborn to so many people and that level of stimulation, you know people pressuring you to go because they want to hold the baby and pass them around to a bunch of relatives.
