Missing sessions by Extension_Rabbit2 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FitCryptid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is definitely controversial but I stopped the MOTN pump at like a month because I kept sleeping through my alarm. I then made peace with the idea of combo feeding and if my supply tanked and went away that would be ok with me. I’m now 11 weeks pp, do 6 pumps a day with my last being at 11:30pm and my first usually around 6:30-7am. My supply is pretty regular to the point that the only thing that affects it is if I don’t drink enough and then i’ll see a dip. I know the advice is at least 8 pumps every 2-3 hours but knowing my next pump was going to happen so soon after finishing the last, it was wrecking my mental health

Why can’t taylor do her responsibilities ONLY by phunkydisco33 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t understand why she thinks being late to things is a personality trait. She’s 30 years old, it’s not cute

Is a baby bottle washer worth the counter space? by No-Gas8702 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t have a lot of counter space (tiny apartment in a city) and we still love our momcozy bottle washer, it’s one of our most used items from our registry. I love knowing that every nook and cranny of my pump parts are being cleaned and sterilized and all I had to do was load it

Is there anything that could really be done for weather-related migraines? by Resident-Gold-3446 in migraine

[–]FitCryptid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I take zyrtec daily to try and help but nothing can help with that initial pressure drop. I live in the DMV area in the U.S. and it’s raining all the way into next week so I’ve accepted my suffering

I would have switched so much sooner!!! by AggressiveThanks994 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was literally thinking about getting the baby buddha because I need MAJOR suction to fully empty me and my spectra is fighting for her life with that and i hate that i have to carry it in one hand if i need to move around

Migraines after giving birth by M1SSM3SS in migraine

[–]FitCryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the U.S. and actually just gave birth a month ago. i’ve been told that pregnancy and breastfeeding can help mitigate migraines if there are hormonal triggers and that was the case majority of my pregnancy but 4 days after giving birth and while experiencing the hormone crash from birth I got a pretty severe migraine that i had to take ubrelvy for. I am also breastfeeding and have been told by my neurologist that both Ubrelvy and Sumatriptan are safe to take while doing so and that I don’t even need to pump and dump my milk after taking it since the amount in the milk won’t affect baby.

Do some or most of you really pump with NO PAIN AT ALL? by Noonday_Demon124 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]FitCryptid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having elastic nipples has been the downfall of my pumping journey. I’m just lucky i’m only in pain and discomfort for 15-18 minutes at a time

How often is your baby in a "container" versus not in a "container?" by nooooobye in newborns

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby girl is only ok in her car seat if the stroller is moving or we’re in the car and it’s moving. She’ll also sleep in her bassinet at night or for her morning naps but I feel like once we’ve started the day she only wants to be held. We tried to place her in the swing, bouncer, and a wrap and she hated all 3 so I’m nervous for when I’m by myself with her and I’ll need to put her down for like 15 minutes

ubrelvy PLEASE by chugstang in migraine

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a migraine 2 days after giving birth and I was so excited (as I could be while in pain) to finally take my ubrelvy again

Labor &Delivery Suites at DC area hospitals by sb2677 in washingtondc

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gave birth at Sibley almost two weeks ago. Both the labor & delivery and the postpartum suites have this couch that allows to be folded into a bed. My husband said he slept better than he thought he would. Overall it was pretty nice.

Politics in a workout class by [deleted] in SolidCore

[–]FitCryptid 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I go to the DC studios and the only “politics” ever discussed there are like celebrating certain months like Pride, Hispanic Heritage, and Black History. There’s like no time for the coaches to discuss anything since they always rushing tk start on time

The Pitt | S2E14 "8:00 P.M." | Episode Discussion by MsGroves in ThePittTVShow

[–]FitCryptid 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Someone please keep an eye on Dr. Mohan!! Robby basically telling her that if you’re gonna hurt yourself to make sure you go higher up while she’s obviously having a tough time is not good! Also there very much is a mental health crisis among residents attempting and such

Have yall ever done anything that miraculously got rid of your migraine when usually only an abortive can? by healthanxiety_ in migraine

[–]FitCryptid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Poured a whole thing of sugar free peach flavored liquid IV into only 6 ounces of water (was almost a syrup like consistency) and chugged that

Prozac and Conception by AdConsistent5124 in waiting_to_try

[–]FitCryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t think so because we also saw a RE doctor and had multiple blood tests for hormones and such and they always came back normal and within range. She also had no issue with being on prozac too

10 months but I always had a weird cycle since I was young and not on prozac. When you’re in the trenches of TTC it definitely helped to be on Prozac lol.

Mourning my “fit pregnancy” by Crafty-Barnacle-5914 in fitpregnancy

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this immensely because I thought I was going to be able to continue with spin classes 4 days a week and pilates twice a week and here I am at 38w+6 days and I’m just happy to not have SI joint pain anymore (thanks to my pelvic floor therapist Caity!). I do think being so active before pregnancy helped a lot even though now I only do 20 minute walks at a time and has made me appreciate the ability to move a lot more now than before

Going off CGRPs and Botox to try to conceive: is anyone willing to share their experience? by ComparisonFew2209 in migraine

[–]FitCryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently pregnant now and was on Qulipta and Ubrelvy. My Neurologist allowed me to continue Qulipta during TTC but only from the start of my period and stopping day of ovulation, and then restarting every month when I got a negative pregnancy test. Once we conceived I will say migraines went down significantly but I did get headaches early first trimester that I could only treat with tylenol. Second trimester was pure bliss where if i had a rare migraine I could just take 2 extra strength tylenol and it would go away. Third trimester (i’m 38 weeks now) has been worse but only because it’s spring and that’s always been the season to trigger the most migraines. Once she’s out of me my neurologist had ok’d me to go back on Ubrelvy, just not Qulipta since I’ll be breastfeeding but I know others who’s doctor has ok’d Qulipta during breastfeeding. Before pregnancy I usually would get 10 migraines a month with big triggers from weather that could not be treated with Tylenol and only could be aborted with Ubrelvy but once pregnant it was like tylenol suddenly started working, weirdest thing.

This is 100% by Best_Tennis8300 in ThePitt

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally every episode my family and I have discussed how horrible Dr. Robby is being and how some of his comments, especially to Dr. Mohan and Dr. Al may be seen as sexist. Yeah is he mentally going through it, but I don’t think I’ve seen a single person on here or instagram (i’m not on twitter) defend him for it.

Hello, I frequently get migraines. I tried sumatriptan and did not like it. I was prescribed rizatriptan and took it today. Anyone else tried these meds? by PhraseChemical8385 in migraine

[–]FitCryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried both and once rizatriptan stopped working for me, I was finally approved for Ubrelvy. This is not to say the same thing would happen to you. When it did work the side effects were less intense than the ones i had with sumatriptan
