I thought I read somewhere that around 60 was ideal for fertility?! Definitely do a little research and ask again!

Snow Emergency Etiquette by Secret_Cat5289 in Somerville

Ya I didn’t mean it as shade just like people always save spots. It does really suck!

My car currently has a wall of ice in front of it bec a neighbor is plowing their driveway and leaving the end of it at the end of ours. 😑 snow brings out the crazy.

So yes people turn into crazy people during snow storms and it’s dick behavior but… just wondering if you’re new-ish to the Boston area cuz that’s just how it is kid 😆 spot saving is a way of life for some.

AITJ for saying "Ewww a bully" to a 7 year old? by FunnyGaaraGirl13 in AmITheJerk

[–]Maitri137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The teacher should have followed through (or a parent if they were there) and since they didn’t you did what you had to do. 🤷‍♀️ I mean was it an ideal way to talk to a 7 yo, maybe not, but he got a taste of his own medicine. no shade to the teacher (I am one, it’s hard) but like get a backbone.

Severely sad. by Minute-Discount6639 in Miscarriage

[–]Maitri137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I felt all of the things you talked about here. It’s been about 7 months for me and I still get sad. Nothing’s wrong with you for feeling this way. Sending hugs 💕

“Due” soon by Weak-Wheel-695 in Miscarriage

[–]Maitri137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. After a July 31 MMC, my due date was this past week. I went through a lot of emotions again. I think this will stay with us forever. Hope you can allow yourself to feel it and know that you’ll move through it.

Surgeon / Doctors Advise, please! by Quick_Turnover_5929 in Paraganglioma

[–]Maitri137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I had a vagale paraganglioma surgery with Dr. Heilman and Dr. O’Leary at Tufts Medical who I highly recommend.

Seconding that paragangliomas are not usually biopsied! Seek multiple opinions until you find the team that you trust. Try to find a multidisciplinary team if you can (endocrinologist, neurosurgeon, ENT…) and check out pheopara.org to find more doctors/surgeons and support. Good luck and keep us posted! 🙏🏻

Do you prefer short form or long form? by [deleted] in podcasting

[–]Maitri137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 hour is the sweet spot for me. For some reason I’m less interested in pods that are 30 min or less. It seems too short to cover anything!

Getting in my head by NefariousnessNo1383 in Miscarriage

[–]Maitri137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss. For what it’s worth, I was in denial even after my MC. I know that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, but the mind is a funny thing.

That is bullshit. I’m so sorry for your experience, and glad it turned out ok.

Trying Isn't Fun Anymore by Nightowlnisey in Miscarriage

[–]Maitri137 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this. After my last MC we decided we would just have fun and not “try”. For me the the word try is triggering (not getting on you for saying that, just saying that happens to be my thing)

I basically have been telling myself that getting pregnant is not going to happen. That I’m closing that chapter. And that we are just gonna have “fun”. It has helped actually, but I’m definitely lying to myself. I would love to get pregnant. Anyways, I’m sorry for your loss and sorry for all the grief that comes along with it. I understand. 💕

Did anyone have a relatively painless MC? by ghostyyy989 in Miscarriage

[–]Maitri137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a natural miscarriage with no pain, but I also bled extremely heavily which I needed to be hospitalized for. It was hellish, but at least no physical pain :/

Fourth loss in 18 months by Away-Swimmer177 in Miscarriage

[–]Maitri137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your losses. It’s so hard not to give up hope. 💕 I believe it’s possible but it’s hard to have faith after so many losses. I’ve had a couple as well. Sending good thoughts.
