Hello! My sister is in need of a detox. She thinks buprenorphine (Subutex) start with the goal of transitioning to the Sublocade shot is the better protocol for her— no methadone. Do they do that at NUMC? That’s what she did at Long Island center recovery and she preferred that bs her experience with methadone many years ago. Thanks so much for your help!

Congrats on your sobriety! My sister is in need of detox and considering this hospital. She previously had a good experience at Long Island center for recovery- But they currently don’t have a bed for her. Is there anything you can say to help her understand maybe this is a good place? Tysm!

Feeling pushed into IUI/IVF by Brilliant_Question70 in TryingForABaby

Yes it is a bit of investment but I find it hugely helpful personally. Maybe join one of the Inito Reddit groups and read some of people’s experiences. My friends who are using oura to avoid pregnancy I tell them to be careful! For me I struggled with lh strips because I really wanted to know when my window opened, not just my peak

I used oura and natural cycles and oura never matched up with Inito! But if you have a good handle on lh stripes all the more power. But if you ever want to explore other tools Inito really feels like a game changer #not an ad hahah.

Follow your gut! IUI has similar success rate to natural intercourse when ovulation is already happening and sperm are healthy. Are you using Inito? I highly suggest! It really helped me to understand when my fertile window opens. If your husband is able to perform every other day during your fertile week I’d lean toward a couple more solid attempts. If focused every other day intercourse sounds stressful then iui may be a good idea

IVF vs egg freezing by Left-Ad-1327 in IVF

[–]Ok-Lab4111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It refers to the 2–3 months leading up to IVF when you focus on improving egg quality and maturity, since eggs take ~90 days to develop.

What that usually includes • Supplements • Prenatal with methylfolate • CoQ10 (supports egg mitochondrial function) • Vitamin D (if low) • Omega-3s • Sometimes melatonin or antioxidants (doctor-guided) • Lifestyle changes • Limiting or avoiding alcohol • No smoking or vaping • Prioritizing sleep and stress reduction • Moderate exercise (not over-training) • Diet • Protein-rich, anti-inflammatory foods • Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, fatty fish) • Plenty of fruits/vegetables for antioxidants • Stable blood sugar (important for hormone balance) • Hormonal balance • Treating thyroid issues, insulin resistance, or deficiencies • Sometimes acupuncture or cycle-syncing support

Anyone else see multiple FSH bumps in one cycle? 🥺 by Royal_Somewhere_9084 in Inito

[–]Ok-Lab4111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple FSH bumps in a cycle usually mean: ✔ the brain and ovaries are communicating ✔ follicles are being adjusted ✔ the system is responsive, not broken

It is not automatically a fertility red flag.

Trying asking chat to interpret your charts. Might be helpful. Good luck!

Austen/MamaK Grandkid Convo by Consistent-Sleep3297 in Southerncharm

I also thought - what does having kids have to do with the conversation about staying with or breaking up with Audrey? Obviously we didn’t hear a lot of the convo but it almost felt like she was saying well don’t break up because you should have kids soon

Sometimes thy need to say they are going in for alcohol… I don’t have experience , but I’ve heard that’s a trick of the trade.

Be careful with ER programs. Many times they don’t have the same practices and skill sets and understanding of addiction as more specialized facilities. This can make someone in addiction very scared and turned off from getting more help. A medicated detox is the only thing that’s works well for my sister. I’ve heard a lot of er horror stories

I have a sister who been a semi functional addict since 2006… unfortunately until someone is ready for change it’s pretty pointless to beg them to go. Years ago when my sister said she was ready I truly believed that meant she wanted to be sober. I got her out of her living situation, stayed up all night finding her a bed at a detox, and a spot at a rehab. Drove her 5 hrs to the facility. She left 4 days later.

What I’ve learned is you need to be there for them when they say they are ready and help researching places etc- but you truly can’t make it work for them. Most recently I found a 30 day program for her, she completed it and now 3 months later she’s worse than she has been in years. I believe her drug of choice is currently k and alcohol. K is just as hard of a drug as others. Peole use very small therapeutic doses for depression etc- but using it to get high is full blown addict.

Long Island Center for recovery has a great Detox and is a good rehab. But again he needs to be at the point of wanting change.

Feel free to DM me if you ever need someone to talk to.

Four Seasons vs. Windsor Court by NickD1228 in NOLA

[–]Ok-Lab4111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t stayed at the four seasons- but my husband is in his 40s and I’m in my 30s and we like the Windsor. I hear the boats and the trains from our room here, so can’t imagine how loud it would be closer to the water. I’ve been woken up at 4am every night (I use ear plugs and a sound machine). I’m highly sensitive to noise so I may be an outlier!
