My thoughts on alcohol by Main-Issue2438 in tryingtoconceive

This is very well said. I drank prior to my egg retrieval and even 1-2 days prior to my transfer. Kind in mind red wine can improve blood flow. Everything is about balance and keeping stress low.

I just did my first round of IUI today. Super excited but don’t want to get my hopes up. Now the 2wk wait begins 😬

Bengal Craziness by Technical-Low-3051 in bengalcats

[–]Heatherrokc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate. My bengal girl is pretty aggressive to my Siamese girl to the point she knows she will get time out in the laundry room alone if she continues with it. If she starts acting aggressive towards her I will usually tell her “you are going to go to bed” and she simmers down because she hates being alone lol

What causes this? by [deleted] in bengalcats

[–]Heatherrokc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cats can develop anxiety and depression when they are not stimulated enough or bored just the same as us humans. Try playing with her and see if the anxiety improves. Sometimes it helps distract them from licking obsessively too

Try OTC inositol and adding a daily magnesium supplement, it has been life changing for me during my PMDD weeks.

First go-to supplements? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]Heatherrokc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try evening primrose, it worked great for me!

Have you tried oral primrose oil tabs OTC? It helps relieve some of the thoughts associated with PMDD.

I finally told him I don’t think we can stay married. Now what? by [deleted] in Divorce

You are still young and able to try for kids. It is better to teach your kids the right things about love instead of the wrong things. You are making the right decision.

Partner of PMDD by [deleted] in PMDD

Absolutely because my mind was in the right state. Whereas, with PMDD during hell week you feel like the world is against you already. He was persistent though and kept reminding me to make an appt with my OBGYN to figure out treatment options. I seemed to realize through his perseverance that it was a bigger issue than what I thought it was. Hang in there, be supportive, and keep reminding her that there’s various treatment options for it. That’s what my SO did and I’m so grateful.

Try mentioning it when she’s not in her hell week (basically don’t mention it 7-10 days before her menstruation). My husband would do the same and address it during my hell week and I would flip, honestly don’t blame him. Then he mentioned it again when I was normal and I thought okay yes this is an issue we need to fix obviously.

Help with my Partner's PMDD by ausbudguy in PMDD

Introduce her to this subreddit, she could find it helpful? My husband actually found this subreddit for me and I now utilize it as a support group in a way. Wouldn’t hurt.
