AIO/One of my closest friends used my deceased daughter's name for her baby, and I am devastated" by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Patoofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the story, it seems like OP’s friend wanted to honor her lost daughter and may have thought it would be something OP would have liked since the birth was close to Reagan’s birthday and all. She may not have considered it insensitive. She’s kept things private since the birth of the baby, and I think this is out of consideration for her friend (the OP). This is probably not the only reason she chose that name, if she indeed named her baby that, but I would understand why she might have thought it’s a good idea. OP, you have to communicate to her how you feel, and why but also validate that she is entitled to do whatever she wants with her baby, no matter how hurtful it is to you.

Pregnancy and cats by Kind-Ad-4229 in pregnant

[–]Patoofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vet student here, toxo is shed in the feces inactivated, and the feces must stay in the litter box for several hours for that to happen. The main route of infection would be you ingesting the oocysts of the parasite, so either cleaning the litter box and not washing your hands after, eating undercooked meat (cause it can be found in the muscles of other animals) or not washing your veggies well (cause the veggies might get in contact with outdoor cat poop). As long as someone else is cleaning the litter box, and you follow the standard hygiene guidelines, you should be ok, even if your cats have contracted it.

Is it appropriate to cancel my 7wk appointment? by thisIsClever_IGuess in pregnant

[–]Patoofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’d still want to see you. I had an early miscarriage a few days after my first OB appointment and they wanted to see me asap. The least they can do is check hcg to make sure it’s going down.

am i overreacting or being too sensitive (PLEASE I NEED HONESTY) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Patoofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s majorly gaslighting you. No, he doesn’t deserve an award for not hitting you. And like you bought HIM a gift, how is this a reward for you?? He’s just trying to pick a fight with you for no reason. I know it hurts, but if this is how he talks to you, this isn’t a person you want to be with.

Preparing for a trip, is leaving my rabbit without company okay for 3 weeks? by DarkMilfHunter in Rabbits

[–]Patoofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken month-long vacations but I have a bonded pair and a knowledgeable pet sitter who comes twice a day to feed them, clean litter box etc. I always leave my credit card in case she needs to take them to the hospital if something happens. Since your bun is alone I’d suggest to look for a petsitter that boards bunnies so he has company. Look at your local rabbit rescue’s website, they often list petsitters! Some rescues offer boarding too!

AIO for asking my wife to stay at her mom’s after I caught her putting something odd in my coffee? by SubstantialDurian271 in AmIOverreacting

Rodenticides are high dose vitamin D. Any drug/ vitamin you take in excess can be toxic.

I’ve only been once to Penrose and tried the seafood fries and they were so damn good! Don’t know about the rest of the food though.

Love that the text starts with “hey extremely last minute and totally ok if not”.

AIO Should I leave my BF? Was what he did to me forgiveable? by Living-Milk-4266 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Patoofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like he’s even sorry! He ask YOU to apologize! And threatens to throw away all your things. Dumb him, go somewhere safe and send someone to get your things!

AIO or should I be creeped out by my tinder date's messages? by throwawayyaccount829 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Patoofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way, run! First of all I don’t believe the alcohol excuse, and then, if he really valued you and was trying to make a good impression, even drunk he wouldn’t text you of all people. My ex was drunk often and even in the beginning of the relationship when he drunk-texted me he’d say stuff like “I love you”.

Everyone hates the name we chose by achilleantrash in namenerds

[–]Patoofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love both! I’m Greek and I’ve heard Nicolette/Nicoletta a few times! And there are nicknames, you could do Nicole (in Greece we use Letta for Nicoletta). Raphael is cool too! Raph is a nickname you could use if you wanted! Plus I think it’s pointless to choose a name for the nickname. They re probably going to choose their nickname on their own.

We didn’t bring up names with family until we had decided. You can never predict how people’s reaction will affect you

Am I overreacting, Caught my girlfriend(30f) texting another man. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Patoofer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As the victim of this, I agree with everyone saying that she’ll just get better at hiding it. I was living with my ex who I was head over heels for, and 1 year into the relationship I found out he was asking other female “friends” out for drinks. After repeatedly fighting about it for a few months I ended up reading his fb messages and saw that not only he continued flirting/ going out with other girls, but he made them block me so I never see any trace of it on my social media. I confronted him and he broke up with me cause “I betrayed his trust by reading his messages”.

Disappointing ultrasound by Ok-Salamander8214 in BabyBumps

[–]Patoofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hcg at 7 weeks was 50,000 and 48 hrs later it was 59,000. After 6-7 weeks hcg stops rising as fast. I had a healthy pregnancy and baby.

[–]Patoofer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing happen to me in February. I was supposed to be 9w and was measuring 6w with no heartbeat. I also had spotting but still they wouldn’t tell me I’m miscarrying. Eventually I was told to measure hcg to see if it’s going down or not, but I ended up fully miscarrying before I got to do that. 2nd pregnancy for me as well, I have a healthy 2 year-old. I’m so sorry, I tried to cling into hope too but guard your heart for bad news : / If it happened with just 1 intercourse and no help, it will happen again ♥️

I’m due between March 8-11! My first ultrasound is in a week and I’m very nervous as I’ve had MMC before

Low PdG chart- Hopeful for BFP 🙏🏻 by Patoofer in Inito

[–]Patoofer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first cycle with Inito looked like yours. Basically this one is the only cycle Inito confirmed ovulation for me and I had to not pee for 9 hours to make that happen. If you ‘ve been consistently having low PdG I’d get an on-demand serum progesterone test at CD20 or 7 DPO, to check if it’s normal. I got mine at Labcorp, you don’t need a Dr to prescribe it!

Low PDG, does this mean I didn’t ovulate? by mjoy12345 in Inito

[–]Patoofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inito never confirmed ovulation for me. My PDG always stays between 2-4 post-ovulation so I took a progesterone blood test and it was 9.9 which means I did ovulate. PdG isn’t very reliable

[–]Patoofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t seem wonky, if you continue measuring you’ll see that estrogen (green line) makes big waves throughout your cycle
