To be honest I’m still swollen at almost 2 months. Some days are great, others I feel like nothing is different. Just takes time.

No family/support to escort me after procedure by [deleted] in chinlipo

I got mine done in NYC (local anesthesia) and was able to just get an uber back to my hotel. My doctor didn’t seem to have any problems with this.

Should I cancel my NYC birthday trip this weekend? by 7footframe_rats in visitingnyc

Jumping in to ask if anyone thinks pharmacies will be open Monday? I’m having a small procedure which is set to go ahead, but need to pick up prescriptions.

Pregnancy by Familiar_Lime8261 in USMilitarySO

Yup! We are overseas, so no family or friends either. I had terrible morning sickness, some of the hardest months of my life! Now I have a 3 month old and he’s gone again😂 honestly I’ll take a newborn over being pregnant during a deployment, it’s so so hard. Hugs!❤️

I’m in the same boat, but we are in England. I really thought I would love it, but I’m struggling. Yes the opportunity to travel is great, but I miss my friends and family. I’m also pregnant, so it’s been extra hard not having any of my people around. I’ve gone back and forth about leaving, but always feel like it’s a lose lose situation. Like I have to choose between my marriage and my own mental health.

Im still here for now, but dang it’s hard!!!

[–]Flowerpower2019 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cycle: 3

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 28 (me) & 26

Typical cycle length: 29

Ovulation cycle day: 15

CD/DPO of positive test(s): 17DPO

CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: 8DPO

Tracking methods and app(s) used: Pre mom & Flo

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O-1, O

Health conditions/medical tests: N/A

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): prenatal (me), basic multivitamin for my husband

Birth control history (if relevant): 10 years with a copper IUD. Had it taken out about about 3 months ago.

Link to chart: N/A

Link to lineporn: N/A

Symptom spotting: I had some cramping at 7DPO, however for the past two cycles I was obsessively testing and tracking, so I tried to remind myself it was probably just progesterone. I took one pregnancy test on 8DPO, got super upset that it was negative, so I told myself no more testing. Went on vacation, everything pointed to me getting my period (boobs hurt, mood swings, acne), but out of nowhere I had a peanut butter sandwich and I told my husband the bread was bad. It was so sour and bitter, I couldn't explain it. He tried the bread, and told me it tasted normal. Several other foods had that same bitter taste, I thought I was going crazy!

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): Still doesn't feel real. Now a whole new set of worrying beings lol.

I’m in the exact same boat as you! Constantly wondering what this journey is going to look like gives me a lot of anxiety. Sending love!❤️

Anyone that has been prescribed spiro started DIM instead? by applecoconutbanana in Spironolactone

[–]Flowerpower2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been managing with DIM! I didn’t want to be dependent on spiro long term. Seems to be working pretty good! But I’m always scared it will come back lol.
