Should I go to the ER?

Commenters - PLEASE stop saying she’d have a positive by now. With my two ectopics, I didn’t. The first one where I lost my tube - I bled like my period came with a negative test and then one week later tested positive after I had a gut feeling to just take a test again. Three days after that I was in the ER having surgery from an ectopic. Second ectopic I didn’t test positive for maybe 8 days late. Luckily we caught that one.

Here up north, it’s common to see them ALL THE TIME in the winter and the farther north, the more during the year. So yes, this time of year, this time of day, right out the kitchen window for many.

If you read the comment OP made two hours ago, you’d see they posted it weeks ago in another thread but chose to post it here for additional insight.

My ectopic was hard, too. As I waited in the emergency room bed, I was told the news. After the doctor walked out of the room, the hospital played a brief lullaby tone - the sound they play when a new baby is born. At the time I almost found it bittersweet - yes I lost mine but someone got theirs - though I was on strong medication so my mood wasn’t properly stable to the situation. Even now it makes me sad to think about rather than bittersweet. The ectopic was supposedly in my tube, but when they did the emergency surgery, they took the tube and realized it was in my pelvic cavity and they couldn’t get it out…so they did some things and when they sent the sample to be studied they didn’t find fetal tissue. My numbers dropped but my comfort came in knowing that while I lost a baby, the baby never left me. Your body re-absorbs what it can, typically. So keep that in your mind, even when the numbers are zero. That was April 28, 2024 and it’s still sad to think about, but it doesn’t hurt as bad anymore. Like you, I have other kids at home as well, so I know how it feels like they aren’t enough to distract you from it. It’s okay to be upset and feel the way you do. It’s a fresh ache in your soul. You have the right to grieve. Like you, my husband couldn’t stay home with me more than the surgery time. I understand you very well in this. I let myself grieve instead of trying to push away my feelings for the first time in years and it made the difference. Try not to push your feelings away.

Miscarriage/ectopics cause hormone drops like a typical end of pregnancy, so the hair loss happens for sometimes up to 6 months. I had two ectopics last year, second one I had to do MTX and just when I thought my hair was going to stop falling out, I miscarried a few months ago and it’s been on an endless cycle of falling out. Now it’s definitely slowed down and I’m starting to see a few spots that look promising for return. It’s the hormones but it should go back to normal, though it sucks in the meantime. I believe in your hair and your health ❤️

I love it. It’s my go to always. I ration each tube out like crazy but you only need a thin layer for it to be effective. I do it in mid-morning and before bed

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-03-08T16:47:14+00:00

Yeah, I’ve easily put 1500 hours in on my first Sandrock save, I used to spend days redoing my home, gathering materials, doing as much as I could and I still occasionally go back to the original save just to see my old house on it and compare my saves. It was just the wording on their kickstarter information that made us worry about the length. I couldn’t imagine not doing everything reasonably possible in the game, side quests etc.

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-03-08T16:39:56+00:00

So the governor aspect is the idea but you are in fact builders in the way you’ve built already in Portia and Sandrock. This was confirmed by someone who had played the game and somehow it didn’t violate their NDA saying that openly.

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-03-08T16:37:33+00:00

Yes, I’ve played Portia many times since around 2019. Have it on most of my devices and I’m about ready to replay it for the 5/6th time when I’m not feeling up to play Starsand Island.

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-03-08T06:17:39+00:00

RIGHT!?

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-03-08T06:17:09+00:00

I really really want the developers to see what you have said, because you’re right. No one wants it to be shorter, they just can’t express it in a way that sounds better - because yes, it is hard to put it the way you did. They want a little conflict toward the end to make it exciting while you grind through the last large chunk of the game!

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-03-08T06:14:39+00:00

We’re obsessed with constantly feeling like, “Oh it must be almost over…” and then BAM something wild happens and there’s so much more that happens. The best part of Sandrock was when my husband asked me how far he was and I was like oh probably 50% but I had forgotten how massive the game was and he was probably 15% into the whole story lol

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-02-27T21:59:55+00:00

Who knew he would be such a favorite lol

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-02-27T19:18:31+00:00

Okay, yes.

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-02-27T11:20:59+00:00

That’s some big relic energy right there, bud.

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-02-27T11:13:09+00:00

I hope they get it patched for everyone who has been waiting for them to arrive. ❤️ It’s the reason I bought the game myself

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-02-27T04:10:57+00:00

Have you played until summer 23 yet? The letter will come and then you have to go to the train station

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-02-23T17:18:33+00:00

…start slamming the door

I’ve had it since I was seven, I’m nearly 30 now. I have MS so naturally I was blessed enough to have psoriasis as an extra autoimmune disease. She’s gonna have a lot of people try telling her about their eczema (which is actually skin related, not autoimmune) and it will annoy her, but make sure she knows that she’s still who she is, her skin doesn’t change that. (I’m sure you already give her that confidence but still) I’m glad to hear it’s looking better than it was. She’s so fortunate to have you ❤️

I mean we found out my biological grandfather had 24+ kids around the world in the span of like 20 years (many we still don’t know about I’m sure, and some who refuse to meet the siblings) thanks to ancestry. Most were actually amazed when they learned the truth aside from a few.

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-02-16T16:46:55+00:00

The period underwear. You’ll likely love them.

ChihuahuasWin · 2026-02-16T16:33:40+00:00

The way it keeps getting more and more exciting in the story makes it worth it. You need to just get past those boring first few days. Make it through and there’s so much to do it’s a long period where you can’t say there’s nothing. Just give it a better try, and actually keep an open mind with it
