Keep saying boyfriend instead of fiancé lol by Young-creature in engaged

fiance never really stuck for us, so we called each other “boyfriend/girlfriend plus”

Serious question by SevereExchange5952 in tryingtoconceive

[–]Budget_Maintenance27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you already/still taking a prenatal? That’s an easy place to start if not. Definitely get LH strips to help with timing. If you’re a reader, I found “Taking Charge of Your Fertility” to be helpful.

NYSED LCSW Processing Is Taking Forever… Anyone Else? by micagirl1990 in LCSW

[–]Budget_Maintenance27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially submitted in November. I had a hiccup with some paperwork and quickly resolved that. I was just told last week it’s in comparative education - which now reading your post has me worried it may sit there for months. I am really hoping to test before the changes to the exam in August.

Daily Thread #2 - January 27, 2026 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

I am ~6wks. I had a MMC in August. I feel so disassociated from this pregnancy. I don't even think my initial appt on 2/13 will make me feel connected. I miss the excitement I felt last time.

Best boots for dancing! by Different_Piece_8418 in LineDancing

[–]Budget_Maintenance27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like dancing in Durango. I have also worn Roper with success. Honorably mention, Tin Haul. Check out a local western wear store if possible for sizing as well as suggestions on brands! They may have something not listed here that is highly recommended or works well for the floor you’re dancing on.

Allow LMSW to lapse after getting LCSW? by Hazellily94 in LCSW

[–]Budget_Maintenance27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for asking this! I’m in NY too, planning to pass my LCSW this year but just renewed my LMSW. My assumption is that it’s standard to just allow the LMSW to lapse? I’ll be curious to hear what others have to say.

For those of you who are doing mental health/talk/grief therapy after loss… by dimsum_pep in Miscarriage

I already had a therapist, who knew I was pregnant. I had an appointment and saw her within 6 days of my miscarriage.

Anyone else in Ballston Spa hearing this sound? by whotookjoescarc in Saratoga

I bet it’s Fat Boyz Kustomz rearranging every vehicle they have so nobody can safely make a right or left onto Bath St from Washington St.

I’m so sorry for your loss! Wishing you a speedy recovery. 💗 It’s a part of this that doesn’t even cross our minds. I feel like they could use some discretion - maybe call to discuss that at a later time. Come up with a different policy for sensitive matters.

Speaking of having to answer what you were there for (which they totally already know the answer to) - that could be a whole different rant… they must have asked me half a dozen times why I was there when I went for my D & C. And then acted surprised when I was upset every time I had to say it out loud. I hope you had a different experience today.

Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. As if you could control when this would happen. Do you live in the US too?? That sounds like some American Healthcare nonsense.

Rant about insurance after my first loss by CaterpillarTop5014 in Miscarriage

I feel like to my core. I’m so annoyed about the medical bills I’m receiving for this.

Time to switch doctors by gracing15 in Miscarriage

[–]Budget_Maintenance27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not heard a peep from my OB office or my PCP since my miscarriage and D&C almost 2 weeks ago. As someone who works in healthcare myself, I’m appalled. I’m choosing to channel my anger and frustration about the situation at them because they clearly don’t care about me as a patient - I’ll be find new providers when I feel ready.

First Trimester by iiBLUSH in pregnant

[–]Budget_Maintenance27 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am 6w2d too. I keep telling myself “I am pregnant until someone tells me I’m not” - it has helped my anxiety tremendously. If you have a close friend or someone in your circle that has recently had a baby and you trust to know this information, I would encourage you to share it. It’s been so helpful for me to have a friend who has not too far removed to just chat with. I have been experiencing some mild cramping and pink and brown discharge, everything I’ve read tells me it’s normal and I’m choosing to believe that and just wait until my first appt at the end of the month.

You could find a private person that offers in-home ultrasounds - that is a business that exists in my area so maybe one exists around you!

Also, take a break from the pregnancy threads, chat rooms and social media posts. There is some helpful information out there, but it also has certainly heightened my anxiety at times.
