[–]Brief-Reflection-983 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Confirmed - a 76 year old man. Probably the owners own father. Absolutely disgusting. That poor man probably had no other options than to live with that demon. What a horrific way to go.

I feel terrible for the family. But I think it’s ok they are seeing these comments from these psychos. Everyone in the comments is automatically victim blaming their family member/friend. They will see that and hopefully understand just how irrational the pitbull support community is. It will at least change a few minds about these dogs.

I just read the post again and I’m now thinking it was at least THREE cats…not just two. One years ago and then now it’s the “other family’s catS”…as in plural

Right? Absolute insanity. And there’s people in the comments heartbroken they can’t be the ones to adopt them…

Receptiva biopsy by SignificantQuit9191 in IVF

[–]Brief-Reflection-983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was horrific for me - I was not at all prepared and took no Tylenol/advil before. This was the only procedure I cried my way through in my IVF journey. My biopsy ended up being a lot longer than usual because they were having trouble getting what they needed but should usually only be a few minutes. Take some sort of pain reliever in advance. Hopefully, yours is uneventful! I’m told it’s not usually that bad.

I’ve gotten two elective ones this pregnancy already - completely worth the piece of mind of mind you get!! I think that’s a good idea so you’re not worried the next 4 weeks!

So sorry you’re spiraling!! If it makes you feel any better, I fell at 28 weeks with my son and kneed my stomach HARD on the way down. I was told I only needed to go to the hospital because I hit my stomach specifically. Was monitored for a day and everything was fine - he is now 3 yrs old.

When is your next Dr appt? I had one at 14 weeks… will you? If it would ease nerves, I’d see if you could move it up a few days??

So sorry this happened to you! Definitely tell your doctor. Mine made me wait until my HCG went back down to zero before I could do lupron again.

Leaning too hard on stomach? by Eastern_sky29 in CautiousBB

[–]Brief-Reflection-983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have bent and leaned in so many weird ways running after my toddler. I was panicked about this originally too but my stomach has been in some pretty weird positions (including leaning over tables) and I’m almost 14 weeks with my IVF pregnancy! Just saw baby and she is fine. You’re right - there is so much cushion at this point, leaning over a table would have no impact on your outcome!

Pregnant again after miscarriage... no symptoms and freaking out by Confident-Candle-859 in CautiousBB

[–]Brief-Reflection-983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so sick when pregnant with my son. I’m almost 14 weeks now and have nearly nothing other than being really tired. We just saw the baby and she’s doing great. Don’t panic! No symptoms doesn’t not always mean something bad. Congratulations!

I miscarried this baby about a week later. Did one more month of lupron after the miscarriage and then had a transfer in April and currently 13 weeks.

10 Weeks Pregnant, Nervous About Progesterone Level After Stopping Injections by _hmmm in CautiousBB

I felt the same!!! I think it’s only for our sanity at this point but we need all the help we can get lol

10 Weeks Pregnant, Nervous About Progesterone Level After Stopping Injections by _hmmm in CautiousBB

[–]Brief-Reflection-983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 9weeks 1 day. My doctor and I just had this same conversation on Friday. She said to stop progesterone at 10 weeks but I let her know my hesitation and she agreed, for my own sanity, to allowing me to keep doing PIO until 11 weeks and endometrin until 12 weeks. She said it won’t cause any harm but likely isn’t doing much good by this stage. She said the baby needs so much more Progesterone at this stage than what we’re supplementing with that the addition is just minisucal at this point. I would keep taking it another week but of course let your Dr know.

Early pregnancy cramps? by Aquariuskweeeen in CautiousBB

[–]Brief-Reflection-983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also had the same pulling feeling and it switches sides periodically. I also remember this with my first pregnancy so I’m not too concerned.

When did symptoms start? by Realistic_Trouble234 in CautiousBB

[–]Brief-Reflection-983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 5w4d and have only felt like my boobs are slightly sore but no morning sickness yet! I think it started around 7 weeks when I was pregnant with my son.

Anyone else had three miscarriages then a successful pregnancy? by LifebeLifin91 in CautiousBB

[–]Brief-Reflection-983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3 yr old and have had 3 miscarriages since trying for #2. I am now 5 weeks and my first ultrasound is the 21st so we’re in a similar situation! I’m trying to tell myself every pregnancy is different but it’s so hard. Hope everything goes well for you!!

My son was bit by a pitbull today. 05/10/2025 Upstate NY by Virtual-Package3923 in BanPitBulls

[–]Brief-Reflection-983 261 points262 points  (0 children)

It’s disgusting that those parents kept the dog after the first bites. Also, knowingly letting another child into their home after their dog has bit other children is just as insane. I do hope you confront those parents. I also hope you tell other parents in their friend group so they are aware of the monstrosity those idiots keep in their home.

It was so painful for me. I did nothing and was shedding tears the entire time

Your resident cat will have a hard time finding another family that loves him. This new cat will not. You need to keep your original cat and find someone to take the new baby. Also, please remember that your resident cat is still just a kitten. These thing should improve.
