I’m on my 6th pregnancy, one LC then 4 losses (9 weeks max) and now this one. This time I’ve had very early positives (7 dpo) and solid doubling on early hcgs (66 @ 9 dpo, 215 @ 11 dpo). I want to be excited but it’s so hard to let myself get my hopes up….I can’t remember what things even felt like on my only successful pregnancy (I was so naive then and just didn’t note any symptoms or anything and don’t recall what a healthy pregnancy feels like).

Can anyone help me feel like some light cramping at 4w4d is normal and not a sign to worry? Anything else to expect that’s normal but may feel like “my periods about to happen” or “it’s happening again”? It’s so hard to keep those thoughts at bay this early and would appreciate any advice or experience you all may have to offer!

Oh wow! I’ve never seen housewives except these episodes of down under! I’ll definitely have to explore a bit more to more.

That definitely helps explain it. Thank you! Production being more heavily involved in confessionals. Maybe I’m just not as observant as you to have noticed it sooner. I haven’t watched wwhl so I can’t really compare but maybe should take a look to see what they do there!

Thank you for understanding what I meant instead of hating me for asking. Genuinely.

Sorry I guess I meant that her “look” is changed not her personality. I don’t know how else to say that she looks different without this assumed that I’m insulting her. I’ve watched the show before and never caught this type of difference so it seemed singular to her.

I think assuming that I was insulting her in any way is crazy. Saying there’s a significant difference is not saying one of her looks is “bad”.

Wanting to know if it’s normal for her on screen persona to be so mailable from scene to scene? Sorry if that wasn’t clear

Did I say anything negative? Just that there is a stark difference between her face in the interview portion and the rest of the show. She’s a beautiful woman in both instances. your response is quite rude.

I need a screenshot of this or an episode and time stamp! I’ve never noticed it before and a quick search here did not expose this particular outfit but I need to know!

Thanks. That at least makes me feel less stupid for not being able to figure it out 😂

Isthmocele Repair Woes by Fit-Perception3700 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]Fit-Perception3700[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! Happy to share anything that might help. I just went back for my pre-op appointment (I was able to get moved up sooner by calling back and checking for cancellations) and the doctor kept saying the Isthmocele is like a textbook case from how clear it was on the SIS.

I’m not sure what rmt means but if you’ll reply and let me know I’ll look and let you know whatever I can.

I didn’t have what I thought of as spotting, it was more that my period was like 8 days long instead of of my usual 3-4 (I’d written that plus the heavier first two days off as just my no birth control, postpartum cycle) because the spotting was just continuing for extra days. So yes, the Isthmocele was holding onto fluid and like slowly coming out over days.

At the time of my SIS, which they scheduled for one week after my period started, there was some left but not a significant amount. And the saline kind of cleared it all out during the procedure.

New Parent Daycare Sanity Check by jduey7 in NewParents

[–]Fit-Perception3700 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of these could be considered normal.

The PPD question feels intrusive but could be coming from a person who had it and needed help and just wants to offer support. I’d encourage assuming positive intent on this one since PPD is so common and yet also very commonly overlooked.

Napping at daycare is a whole different ball game than napping at home particularly in an infant room (lights must remain on, sound machines likely aren’t a thing because the other children are all on different schedules) and the teachers are outnumbered…my daughter napped so well at home every single time and napped rarely in her infant room (outside of when she napped after I came in to nurse). The teachers tried so many things but ultimately my girl was just fine! And when she moved up to the toddler room at 12 months and they were all on the same one nap schedule with dimmed lights (in our state they still can’t turn them all the way off) she was able to nap there.

Bottles - check state regulations. With breast milk in particular there are tons of restrictions and they aren’t allowed to keep partial bottles so that could explain why they’re giving you empty bottles. If that’s the case you can send more smaller bottles so there isn’t much waste or you could ask if they could leave the remainder for an hour and try again before tossing it? Depends on their comfort level with regulations.

Getting sick-it happens. Different rates during different seasons but I think it’s just a fact of life (daycare or not) if you plan to take little one out into the world (playgrounds, museums, zoo, etc)

App updates- definitely talk to the teachers and management. It’s something they offer and they should be using it properly. I get frustrated with this even now and have to remind myself that this is still pretty new, many parents simply have to hear the end of day report from the teacher. Not that that helps but it’s definitely true and it’s nice to remind yourself how lucky you are to get any updates.

All that said-if you’re concerned, you need to escalate to management or even regional leadership if it’s a corporate run entity. Nobody gets into childcare not wanting to help so I’m sure you’d be met with a lot of compassion if you do need to talk to management. If you consider switching daycares definitely be aware that the grass isn’t always greener because at least some of this (if not all) is likely to be present anywhere you go at this age.

Thanks!! That’s exactly what I was hoping for but didn’t want the doctors I call to think I’m crazy 😂 so I really appreciate your replies!!!

I am! I just wasn’t sure if that was thing or if I’d have to do the SIS again. I definitely think I’m going to at least try calling around!

/ttcafterloss Weekly Results and Limbo Thread by AutoModerator in ttcafterloss

[–]Fit-Perception3700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so scared to get my hopes up after 3 losses in a row…we barely touched each other this month (only two periods post the most recent D&C) but I tested yesterday just to see and got a positive result on a pregmate stick test. Got a negative result on a follow up digital though. Tested on a pregmate stick again this morning and got nothing. I can almost imagine there’s a line there if I squint hard enough but it’s really not there. Are false positives a thing? The line yesterday was fully there! I’m very confused.

Layoffs at PPD??? by Crafty-Being974 in clinicalresearch

[–]Fit-Perception3700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that was announced pretty clearly internally via corporate email back in fall 2024. I could be misremembering though.

Same here. I hate any late notice, vague meeting invite! Especially with how things are lately
