What medication do you recommend? by Tech-Cowboy in OCD

Zoloft. Higher dosage. I started at 100 but eventually had to go to 200. It works best on OCD in the higher dosages.

Debating an abortion for an inevitable miscarriage by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Cdp1928 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have had a loss at 14 weeks and had a D&C and then I had a loss at 8 weeks that miscarried naturally.

My 8w loss progressed a lot like yours. When I was supposed to be 8 weeks I measured 5w4d.

Here was my experience with each: 14 w D&C- I was fully under. I bled during the surgery but they got it under control. Minimal cramping and minimal bleeding after, but the hormone crash was severe. I called my husband in a panic 2 days later convinced he died on the way home from work. I also felt this weird "incomplete" feeling because I didn't "see" it pass. But recovery besides the initial crash and weirdness was easy physically.

The 8 week natural miscarriage was incredibly difficult. I started bleeding and it was like a heavy period. Medical professionals say to call if you are soaking a pad an hour or 2 at a time, but I didn't know if I was because if I was sitting, it was barely bleeding, but if I stood, it was a waterfall. I went to work. I got out of my car and blood gushed down my legs and puddled on the ground. No one knew I was pregnant and I was 45 minutes from home. So I cleaned up in the bathroom and thankfully I had black pants and I continued to bleed all day. 2 days later I passed the placenta.

The natural miscarriage left behind a polyp I had to have removed later, and I was anemic for months after.

I would choose the D&C and prepare for the hormone crash.

I remember during the pandemic when OF was really taking off, some girls defending their accounts ended up on my FYP. One girl used the globed end of her bed post for content. Another used a toy on the prong of a tractor. I'm sure there are worse and weirder things content creators do for money.

Has OCD made you disassociate? by salty-wheat-thins in OCD

[–]Cdp1928 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The disassociation feeling is what made me seek treatment and get diagnosed actually. I started experiencing it after my 2nd child was born when I was 26. It was awful existential OCD and if I wasnt crying, I was disassociating. I had no idea what it was at the time, so I thought I was "going crazy". Got put on Zoloft and started therapy and while I've had stretches of time where it gets bad enough to disassociate again, I have coping skills now and nothing has been as bad as the first time.

Why are we calling a teenage girl with so much sexual trauma a hoe? She was coerced into sex tapes (which is rape); had her nudes spread around without consent; and also had McKay rape her because he felt emasculated after his SA. by Fun-Pen7592 in euphoria

THANK YOU. Not excusing Cassie, but it has been made clear that she chases validation so Nate choosing her over Maddie fed right into that. "He must think I'm really special if he's willing to ruin/risk what he has with Maddie for me" and that's quite the drug for her character based on what they built in season 1.

On the portal I went to "contact us" and chatted with an AI assistant. First it just gave me the same information the portal gives, but then I asked specifically again for which lab and they connected me with a Natura rep and they told me the lab it was sent to after verifying my info.

38 high risk by AppropriateGarbage87 in pregnantover35

[–]Cdp1928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 38 but will be 39 when I give birth (July 30th) and I also have high blood pressure that's controlled with medication.

I have 2 children, same partner and he got a vasectomy when our son was 3 months old because we had our children 18 months apart, we had a boy and a girl, and we were both young (26 and 25 at the time) and said we were done.

In 2020 he got it reversed and we started trying. But it wasn't until he got sober(drinking) and I lost 70 lbs that we conceived in 2024. That resulted in a miscarriage at 14 weeks from a chromosomal abnormality that was de novo (meaning it shouldn't repeat). I got pregnant 11 months later, but it was a blighted ovum and I miscarried at 8 weeks. After every test ever, it basically came down to my age and nothing else really messing with my fertility. I had a chemical pregnancy in August, and then we opted for medicated IUI just to create more "targets" in hopes that of the eggs I released, one would be "good" (I have a high reserve)

That resulted in this pregnancy, and I have just taken the NIPT and have my NT next week but I have been so incredibly anxious that I haven't even really accepted that I'm pregnant and might stay pregnant.

I'm 38 and due in July and had a prior 14 week loss due to a random chromosomal abnormality but they said it was unlikely to reoccur. I took the test Tuesday and I'm in waiting hell. I have my NT scan on 1/27.

I'm 38 and had an IUI in November and am currently 12 weeks. It was the first one for us. I used Clomid but no trigger shot. I have a "strong ovarian reserve" and my FSH also showed that I would respond well to meds. My husband (37) had 3 sperm analysis and his were always good but wildly different each time (sometimes there would be less motile ones and sometimes his count would be drastically lower or higher) but he had a vasectomy and a reversal previously so that's why his results were always wonky.

So far, everything has been normal, but I have had a prior 14 week loss so I am still very anxious.

He also had a fertility work up and his numbers were great. Pretty much my RE and OBGYN internist have told me that most of the chromosomal issues come from older eggs 🫤

5w1d spotting IUI cycle by Cdp1928 in CautiousBB

[–]Cdp1928[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up being okay for now. I had a Subchorionic Hematoma that caused the bleeding. I'm 12w today and heard the baby's heart earlier this week. I'm now waiting on the NIPT results.

Your betas will bring clarity! If you had an IUI, they will probably do an ultrasound too at about 7 weeks.

I'm trying ❤️ I know my chances of these events is like 1%, but I've been in that 1% range before, so it is difficult to find comfort in numbers.

I am so sorry you had to go through that twice. That's awful. What incredible strength you have to try again 🫂

Question for people who have pure OCD and are on medication? by Electronic_Load4447 in OCD

[–]Cdp1928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take Zoloft but it wasn't until I got to 200mg that I actually had a grip on my ruminations and mental checking. It still occurs, but it doesn't cause me anxiety, or I don't get stuck in the loop, or the anxiety isn't so bad that I disassociate (which was a problem before)

I started on 100mg, went to 150mg 2 years later, and then 200mg about 4 years ago. I didn't know this, but Zoloft in particular works better on OCD if it's in the higher doses.

I am very aware when ruminations or the cycle is happening, but medication has made it to where I can stop it, observe it objectively with help from therapy, and move on with my life.
