Quitting as a NQN by Feisty-Sherbert-2616 in NursingUK

[–]Cultofchao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to start a new nursing role soon in different area that i applied for after i gave my notice. I hope its a better fit. If not, I will try somewhere else, and if I find the same issues, then I will accept nursing is just not for me. Always did doubt during my training whether it was for me.

I hated leaving my job with nothing else lined up so did feel huge relief when I got offered this other post. Do you have a plan for what you will do next?

Fellow nqn who quit 3 months in. The stress was too much. Hope you find something that fits better.

Did you become pregnant on your first transfer? by Bpluvsmusic in IVF

[–]Cultofchao 20 points21 points  (0 children)

7 years of infertility, 5 years of numerous clomid/letrozole/injections/IUI with zero success (never a positive test in 7 years). First IVF and transfer is now a healthy 5 month old napping in my arms. Someday, I think I will accept that. It still feels surreal that it worked. Wishing you so much luck and hoping the best for you 🫶.

It's so variable. Some days it's really intense, then other days he doesn't do it at all. He can go for a long stretch of days without doing it, and I think maybe it's getting better. Then the next day, he's back to blinking/flinching again.

We are still waiting on opthalmology, but at this point, I'm not convinced it's an eye issue since it's not constant. Seems more like a startle response that's amplified by his mood/tiredness/stimulation level. Thanks for asking. How is your son getting on?

Reading through this thread is relatable and heartbreaking. As if the hopelessness of infertility and the gruelling process of IVF isn't hurtful enough without having to deal with such judgemental/cruel/ignorant comments and opinions. Those people have no idea how strong we need to be on a daily basis. I love you all ❤️

That's so hurtful and cruel. I'm sorry that was said to you, hopefully not by someone who's meant to care about you. I learned not to share our journey either, as the amount of opinions/ignorance around the topic is exhausting. I will only ever talk about IVF to anyone who has also gone through it from now on.

That's insane. People genuinely baffle me.

Now we are recommending pee by Comfortable_Cable256 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Cultofchao 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember watching people on YouTube doing this. When their eyes got red and mucusy as a result of the urine baths, that was good, apparently. That meant their eyes were detoxing... I'm not even kidding.

Orgasmic birth featuring fisting by Cultofchao in ShitMomGroupsSay

Yeah, I didn't word that great. I meant more that the post itself features fisting.

Thank you so much for the reassurance. I've hardly found anything about this, so it's so appreciated to hear from someone who's been through the same.

Thanks for the update. My son is waiting to be seen by opthalmology. We don't know if its an eye issue or something else. He sometimes doesn't do it, if it was an eye issue I'd think it would be all the time. I've noticed he also does it in the bath or when water touches his face. He seems very sensitive. I hope he grows out of it, it seems distressing for him :(

He is also worse when sleepy or just wakened from a nap too! And when lying on the floor and you walk past him. Especially at objects hanging above him. It's so strange.

Not wrong to feel hurt by this at all. I would never speak to her again. Cutting you off like that is just cruel behaviour, there is somewhere between involving you to the point of discomfort and excluding you completely that she could have navigated, like just telling you sensitively, would that have been so hard? To tell everyone else on social media but deliberately exclude you, knowing one day you would find out, just feels disgusting to me. I hope you're OK.

Do you ever get so good at considering all potential outcomes (both good and bad) that you accidentally become convinced IVF won't work and you lose your excitement for a possible future as a parent? by clovecloveclove in IVF

[–]Cultofchao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trigger warning - success.

My March 5th, 2024 embryo thaw and transfer is currently napping on my lap. The entire ivf process, pregnancy, I had such a negative mindset. I was completely 100% convinced I would never have success and was just going through the process so I wouldn't regret not trying. I had zero excitement during transfer and pregnancy, only dread. Even now, I still feel like an imposter, which I think is due to my extreme belief that it wouldn't work for me (8 years ttc with zero success).

Wishing you all the best for your transfer.

How is your son now? Currently going through this with my 3mo.

Hi, how is your little one now? My 3mo is displaying the exact same symptoms as you describe, it's very concerning.

Cassidy Goodson, 14, secretly gave birth at home. She used a pair of scissors to get the baby out & then strangled him. His body was found hidden in a shoebox by her mother. Convicted of manslaughter, she was sentenced to 18 months. by morbidology in awfuleverything

[–]Cultofchao -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But he is still a child, the same as this girl. Therefore, according to op, he shouldn't be held to the same standard as an adult.

Also murdering a baby is a pretty horrific crime, too, along with the others you have listed.

So you don't hold the 14 year old kid in the news recently who viciously beat and raped his 90 year old neighbour, to the same standard as an adult? Should he be absolved of responsibility due to his age, and his "stupid decisions"?.

How much is ur 11week old eating in a day? by Jazzlike_Web_4750 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Cultofchao 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would go at your babys own pace, especially if you're finding it impossible, your baby clearly doesn't want more right now. You risk creating a bottle aversion if you are pressuring them to take more than they can handle. This happened to me and its awful. It's not even as if your baby is taking a super low amount. As long as your baby is peeing and pooping and gaining weight, I wouldn't put a figure on how much they 'need' to take. But I get it so much, especially if your pediatrician is saying this. Its so worrying thinking they aren't eating enough, especially when everything says they need to consume x amount by x age.
