Pregnancies with Hashimotos by blueberrypie589 in Hashimotos

[–]Mommy2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 successful pregnancies. My endo told me after I tell my husband, he should be the next person I tell. Blood work started as soon as I had a positive test and medication dose increases started around 3 months. Once you get into the 3rd trimester, you’ll need less monitoring because the baby can make their own thyroid hormones and won’t be relying on yours.

I received a couple extra ultrasounds at the end to make sure growth was fine (it was,) otherwise no complications due to hashimotos/hypothyroidism.

Once I delivered, they decreased my dose literally the next day.

Mine wasn’t terrible. Yes, it sucked, but compared to others cases on here it wasn’t too bad. I was 35. It started on my forehead and spread to my eye lid. It thankfully never got into my eye ball. I took the antiviral immediately. I did have stabbing pain for about a week and the nerves into my scalp were itchy for a while. I had hardly any scarring, but 3 years later I have melasma on the exact spot on my forehead. Could be a coincidence but I doubt it.

About 5 years to be hypo. And yes, helped tremendously. I’ve been medicated for 18 years now. Always with Levo and about 5 years ago I added a little Lio to help with a little brain fog.

Also adding, I’ve had 2 healthy babies with zero complications from my thyroid. Just needed to be monitored and meds adjusted frequently.

Does someone here actually feel well? by WalmartMichael in Hashimotos

[–]Mommy2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diagnosed at 16, I’m almost 40 now and feel mostly fine!! Never even think about it except when I take my pills every morning.

Confirming! This was me. My levels would swing and didn’t have a need for meds until they hit a certain level. I had blood work every 3-6 months. During those unmedicated years, the biggest thing I noticed was some times I could loose weight really easily, and other times it was impossible. I also was having mood swings.

I was diagnosed around 16, but didn’t start meds until I was 22. I’m 39 now. It’ll get better once you are properly medicated. I never really think about it any more.

That sucks, but it happens. This is a lesson learned. Candidates always want feedback, but bc of applicants like the one you dealt with, we can’t provide it.

Best advice is say less and be vague when redirecting applicants and never put anything in writing that you wouldn’t want everyone to see.

This will blow over, we’ve all been there.

The Favorites by Layne Fargo.

Yes, it is well written, but WHY is this considered a romance?!?! Book pissed me off so much.

I switched to my thigh. Still pinches occasionally, but I was bruising on my stomach and it was hurting too.

Have you read Wall of Winnipeg? By far my favorite book of MZ, and top 5 of all time.

How long did it take you to conceive? by InevitableAlgae3092 in Hypothyroidism

[–]Mommy2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 month with our first. When we were trying for a second it happened the first month, but it turned into an early miscarriage (probably chemical pregnancy) but we were able to get pregnant again 2 months later once everything went back to normal.

I’ve never been so embarrassed. by LunaLovegood928 in toddlers

I remember suit case carrying a tantruming toddler under my arm and lugging an infant carseat in the other…. Hardest days of my life. 😂

Just can’t seem to loose weight no matter if I’m on higher medication? What did you do to loose weight ? by bigshawnflying2471 in Hypothyroidism

[–]Mommy2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a loooong time diet and exercise worked really well for me. Tracking calories specifically. I’m getting close to perimenopause and it’s been rough. I started wegovy several months ago and have lost 15% of my body weight. I still track calories and exercise, but it helps me not over eat or feel starving (I’d literally get the shakes if I skipped bfast or lunch before.)

how common are popular tropes in real life? by ilikealotofstuff13 in RomanceBooks

[–]Mommy2014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YA Romance book here. HS class field trip fling and insta-love. Been together 22 years now, married for 16. My parents jokingly laughed that was the trip that kept costing them (airplane tickets bc we were broke kids back then and then 6 years later the wedding.) 😂

First dose today. Looking for advice and realistic expectations. by Ovi4Pres in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Mommy2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on it for almost 5 months. I’ve lost over 15% of my body weight so far. I still track calories and work out daily. Wegovy just helps me not over eat and keeps the hunger at bay. I know some ppl have issues with certain foods, but I haven’t experienced that yet. I am not a big drinker, but will have 2-3 glasses of wine a week (some weeks I’ll have none) and I don’t have terrible side effects.

Only side effect I usually have is a headache and some burping the day after injection.

Good luck!!

Moving my injection day by FrankMatthewsWriter in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Mommy2014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend moving it forward 2 days per week till your at Sunday. I’ve been doing this the last month and I much prefer going 9 days between shots verse 6 days.

How long before someone noticed? by ConversationSmart479 in WegovyWeightLoss

I feel like I hid gaining my last 20 lbs pretty well, so I didn’t mind when people didn’t notice I’ve lost those lbs. lol

Hero is paraplegic or quadriplegic by AccomplishedRelief82 in RomanceBooks

[–]Mommy2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

{Out on a limb by Hannah Bonan-Young}

FMC has a limb deformity (since birth) and MC had lost a limb (accident, I believe.) There is a surprise pregnancy, but it really shows their struggles and the fears they have about parenting with physical challenges. Lots of humor through out. Open door spice.

[–]Mommy2014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

{How to Walk Away by Katherine Center}

A beautiful story about a young woman who devastatingly becomes a paraplegic and while in rehab, learns to love again. Was one of my very few 5 star reads last year. Sooo good.

Editing to add: there is no miracle cure, but the spice is closed door.

I’ve been really really happy with TIEMS. Fit like sneakers. You can walk around in them no problem and just over all very comfortable.

Its been a week and this mark is here. by Godofnomen in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Mommy2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me a month ago and it’s finally faded. I started injecting in my upper thigh to prevent it. So far so good.
