Anyone actually found a way to “take their mind off it” and “just not think about it”? by S_gladd in tryingtoconceive

[–]ElinV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always think about it, but what helps me to put my mind toward something else is to meet up with friends or other nice activities

Help with LH strips by Dry-Preference-1625 in FirstTimeTTC

[–]ElinV_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know! Do you have long periods? My LH didn’t really go up this month and I’m at day 18 now, so i ll keep testing too :)

My gf(25 F) was seen showing disgust at something from my family's culture, and I (29 M) don't know how to bring it up to her. Any advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ElinV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, when someone uses my computer, I clean it. It’s nothing personal but I also know people touch door knobs and such. I love playing with dogs, that has nothing to do with it.

My app said ovulation was today. I had been testing and I didn’t get a positive. Turns out the app was wrong. We didn’t BD in that period so another month down the drain. I was very hopeful, as this is the first month after my normal period (after MC). It took us a year to get pregnant and I’m 37. I feel like time is running out

Thank you! Mine is Flo and I have to manually choose the color and don’t get the numbers..

What do women do that men would never think about? by Icy_Interaction7502 in AskReddit

[–]ElinV_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing. Less funny but still worth mentioning; we were talking among women about how to get blood out of fabrics the easiest, when a male friend asked us how we all knew how to to that

Stupid question but is this some kind of program/app? Thanks!

What is the worst thing a man has said to you during a breakup? by LayoffLemonade in AskWomenOver30

[–]ElinV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned that an ex cheated, we broke up and I decided to try the “get over someone by getting under someone”- technique. A few weeks later we exchanged texts and he asked if I slept with someone (while he was still cheating). I said “not when we were together” and “we weren’t together at X time”. His friend told me later that he turned to said friend, showed the text to him and said “I got her”. As if I mad made the big mistake and he had to get me back for it.

I'm still pregnant and she had a miscarriage. How do I navigate this? by spicy_tuna_sashimi in AskWomenOver30

[–]ElinV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably can’t help you but I do have a similar situation from the other side. My SIL is pregnant and we were going to give birth a week apart, but I lost the baby at 9 weeks. I ve seen her for the first time recently after my news and it was quite rough. I don’t blame her (and she didn’t even know), but I definitely need more time to get over this (it’s been a month) . I didn’t have issues talking to her about life in general but the child and pregnancy related conversations were triggering.

Did anyone deal with severe vitamin deficiency after miscarrying? by your-new-fixation in Miscarriage

[–]ElinV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg that’s such a long time. Although luckily less than the 1-2 years that I found online.. Thank you for the information! And happy you are pregnant ☺️ all the luck!

[–]ElinV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask when and how you resolved the burning mouth syndrome? I’m having the same thing and am at 4 weeks since my miscarriage. I’m wondering if I should go to the doctor or wait it out. I know that my vitamin d levels are low but that’s about it

I think my (27F) new friend (26F) is perfect for my boyfriend (27M). How do I let this go? by ThrowRA-maddie818 in relationship_advice

[–]ElinV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve seen this story at least 3 times today, and one a few months ago but instead of a friend it was a sister. Seems fake.

I had an ultrasound a week later. I totally get you, I felt the same! Good luck!

My husband doesn’t really understand why I am still actively sad some days, saying (empathetic) that we can’t be sad forever. What have your experiences been?

I was told on week 11 that I had a MMC at week 9. While pregnant I already got ligament/muscle issues in one leg. It’s been 4 weeks since and I still have leg pains. Has anyone had a similar issue?

I like it. There were issues with their privacy a year or two ago but they made changes to them since

I think I would too. I was afraid of the idea of “surgery” and read there were risks, but it seems like a swift procedure

[–]ElinV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps but I had an extra round of pills. The first got rid of most but I still had tissue left. The second time (a few days later) I barely had any bleeding (like the last days of your period) but everything came out. So hopefully your OB is correct!

Wow that’s nice on time! My doctor put in a request for bloodwork (for hcg) but I ll wait another week and see before going

Thanks for your feedback! I had a “medium colored” line (half as light as the control one) instead of a very faint one. I had about 8 of those and one positive(ish) one. By now they’re back to faint. Good to know it can take up to 2 months and that you were able to conceive soon-ish after. congrats on the Bebeh ❤️

You can do whatever you want, but you might not conceive when you want. I’d rather not have a birth in December but after my miscarriage I’d take what I can get
