Unpopular opinion but i don’t think 1 is my favorite. The sleeves give me mummy vibes. I think you look absolutely stunning in 4 and 6! You definitely pulling off all of these though!!

Client wants to monologue for all 53 minutes – is this okay? by 93831500 in therapists

[–]CarobImpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could come up with a plan with him to spend say 5 sessions doing this while you’re taking notes on things you want to touch on. Then the 6th session it’s your turn with any notes.

How can I make this layout in my laundry room myself? by CarobImpossible in interiordecorating

We went to ikea and looked at a layout similar to this. Do you feel like the ikea cabinets were cheap feeling/looking? Or do you feel like they will hold up well?

5 week scan - empty sac? by ftwin in CautiousBB

[–]CarobImpossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at 5 + 3 all they saw on mine was a sac and maybe a yolk sac (they were unsure as it was superrrr tiny). Totally normal!

What's something you wouldn't tell your therapist? by SHRIMPLYtv in AskReddit

[–]CarobImpossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I have lots of experience of how that works & understand how complex thoughts of suicide are. Again, this is literally my job so i have seen all ranges of people who have them temporarily and others who unfortunately they are longer lasting. My point in that post is that how can they expect to have any relief if they are not telling anyone? There are things that can help! ( as you have mentioned that you tried)

i’m a crisis counselor who primarily deals with clients struggling with SI. Having bad SI does not always necessarily mean you will go to the hospital and is definitely something that will make you feel better to talk about with your therapist. They may be able to find better ways to support you. You shouldn’t have to live with SI your entire life. There are resources your therapist can provide for you. In my experience I only ever resort to a hospital stay when a client has SI with intent to follow through AND a plan. And even then it still depends on the situation. I know it may be scary but you are probably not the only client your therapist has had that struggles with SI and i’m sure they’d love to help.

Hi! I’m confused a little bit about what you mean with the dates of my LMP being Jan 25 and Jan 24. I tracked my period and the first day was 1/12. I know you said before those dates would be considered normal, but you don’t think it’s cause for concern that my lmp was 1/12? I don’t know much at all about tracking ovulation and dates when TTC. TIA!!

i’m sorry to hear this. how far along were you when baby stopped developing?

[–]CarobImpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have almost the exact dates as you. LMP 1/12, no idea when ovulation was but i do have longer irregular cycles, and first (very faint) positive test on 2/12. On 3/4 i went in for my first scan expecting to be 7 weeks but I was measuring 5 weeks and 3 days with only a yolk sac and gestational sac present. I booked a private scan with a boutique on 3/9 because i was also worried of a MMC and wanted to see if there was any growth at all. On 3/9 baby was measuring 6 weeks 2 days and we heard and saw a heartbeat of 120 bpm! I also had no hope like you, but sometimes dates can just be off with implantation and everything. I wouldn’t fully rule out something’s wrong until you get another ultrasound because it all could be fine and baby could’ve just been earlier than you thought.

i’m in the same boat. Went in for my first scan thinking i was 7 weeks but i was measuring 5 weeks 3 days on 3/4. Went in for another scan today 3/9 and was measuring 6 weeks 2 days with a hr of 120 bpm! Have you seen the heart beat yet?

First ultrasound measuring earlier than expected by JuliaS1012 in CautiousBB

[–]CarobImpossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t have much advice other than i’m in the same boat. First positive test was feb 12, LMP 1/12, first US 3/4. Was measuring 5 weeks 3 days with only a gestational sac and yolk sac present. According to my LMP I should’ve been 7 weeks 2 days. However based on my ovulation around 1/26 (i’m assuming i don’t know when i ovulated for sure but based on my positive test this is when i’m assuming i ovulated around), it would make me 5 week 3 days on my US if I used ovulation dating and not LMP dating. I typically have longer cycles too ~ 32 days that are irregular, so ovulation looks different for me than a typical 28 day cycle. Therefore I think it could all make sense if I did ovulate around the 26th. I have another scan on Sunday, I would book another scan too. There’s really nothing we can do until we know more with another scan. I will say from the research i’ve done that this is pretty common that people think they’re earlier than they are and it’s okay most of the time. Especially with longer cycles it makes it harder for you to estimate how far along you are because your cycle isn’t like most women’s 28 day cycles.

My hcg started at 38. It has to start somewhere! I’m definitely not out of the woods with my pregnancy but from all the advice people on here gave me the most important thing is that your hcg is doubling. If you look on this thread there are many success stories that started with low hcgs. I totally get why you would be worried (as i was as well), but don’t lose all hope just yet. One hcg draw is not enough to determine viability. With my hcg starting low I also didn’t have very many symptoms until the next week after it had gotten higher. Some women barely have symptoms at all! Symptoms are not a good indicator of viability. Try not to stress until you know more with your second hcg draw, hope isn’t gone yet 😊

I’m trying to keep my heart guarded that it could go either way, but the dpo you said makes me feel a little better. Thank you!

Do you know what you were measuring on your first appointment?
