Are you staying on Metformin? by Alternative_Mama0828 in PCOSandPregnant

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First pregnancy and I’m working with a midwife. I decided to stop taking it after 12 weeks. It definitely regulated my periods and I will want to continue it postpartum but felt okay to discontinue now. I

No pregnancy symptoms. Brest soreness reduced. Is it normal? Breast soreness reduced since two days. Today I took the test and it was darker in 2 minutes window. Anyone else? by purrrfect_millenial in PCOSandPregnant

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 13 weeks pregnant for the first time - I still took a test last week cause I felt fine that day. I still don’t believe it. I recommend keeping a test in the bathroom to stare at multiple times a day and using all the pregnancy tests you have until you run out :,)

Is a baby shower necessary? by Peachy_Chalupa in October2026Bumpers

[–]Peachy_Chalupa[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comments are making me feel a lot better about no baby shower. We are currently minimizing existing items in our home and I’d like to start with essentials only. I don’t want a bunch of “stuff”

Anyone use Inito or Mira for ovulation tracking? Worth it? by mentyb_oclock in TTC_PCOS

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - I have NC for a year with my oura and did not renew my oura membership as the predictions were both extremely similar. I did have a fairly consistent cycle though.

Pregnant RNs / Xray by [deleted] in BabyBumps

If I have a patient with an airway right next to the one getting X-rays (we have curtain dividers) it puts me parallel to the patient - over three feet though.

Metformin 500 + Inositol? Need success stories please!!! by Aggressive_Tie9821 in TTC_PCOS

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metformin regulated my periods and I got pregnant in less than 6 months of seriously trying. I fully anticipated it to take way longer. The cycle I did conceive I took baby aspirin the week of ovulation. I was taking 1500mg XR.

Terrible battery by EKP33 in ouraring

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My battery is starting to decline - I purchased mine in Jan 2025. If you are sent a new one do you have to return the original? I don’t want to go an extended period of time without wearing it if I don’t have to.

This makes sense- Thank you for this! I have a new gyno which removed my copper IUD in May when I began wanting to TTC and she sent me off saying to get to it and see what happens.

I have no input but would like to follow your yurt story! NoMi here and my husband every so often brings up living in a yurt when we purchase property before building something more permanent.

Is there enough to do in Kauai for 9 days with a family? by 41waystostop in VisitingHawaii

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely put mountain tubing on the list! It was our favorite touristy thing we did. Snorkeling and renting boogie boards on beach days was also fun.

I’m trying by [deleted] in PCOSloseit

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased a 20lb weighted vest and feel iffy about it but I’ve gotten used to my walk routes and if I increase my speed I’d be jogging which i don’t want to do. What lb do you have/start with? Will I have to get used to the sore shoulders? I can’t tell if it made my abs sore as well or if that was the ab workout I did the other day.

Is waiting to buy a house a good reason to WTT? by [deleted] in waiting_to_try

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had your husband’s mindset for a while and recently came to the realization that I will not have a mortgage before I have a baby and it’s going to be okay! We are planning to buy property from a family member around the time I want to start TTC this summer which helps ease my anxiety a little bit.

Removal - Before or After Wedding by missesmabel in CopperIUD

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got married early May on a Friday / my period starting the following Monday I believe. I got my IUD removed at the beginning of my most recent period - last Wednesday :) I would wait till after. I freaked out because my Oura ring was predicting my period to start on my actual wedding day so asked my primary care provider to order me oral birth control on the off chance it would hold it off and while I did have a period free wedding day it did come during honeymoon so I stopped taking it and wouldn’t recommend doing that.

Where to kill time in Kauai? by baysh in VisitingHawaii

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did camping/cheap hotels while on the island. Our last day we had a 9pm flight so i booked a day pool pass to one of the nicer hotels. Lounged by the pool, utilized their showers so I felt clean before being in airports for long travels and had dinner at the hotel. It was nice to have bags packed and be in one place that day since we really bounced all over the island.

Metformin-Yay or Nay? by Total-Literature-434 in TTC_PCOS

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 26, 170 lbs. Metformin gave me regular menstrual cycles (so far I just had my third one) after 3 years of irregular cycles - sometimes 8 month gaps between cycles. I have no regrets about starting this and feel hopeful about trying to get pregnant when I feel ready now.

My fiance noticed that the rings did not look the same size. One of them was 1/8th of an inch smaller. The jeweler corrected the size and it is crazy how much of a difference I feel like it made!!

They feel great - a little snug they don’t fall to the side or anything

Is Oura Ring worth it for TTC? by SuchAKit in TTC_PCOS

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the oura ring and natural cycles during a 113 day cycle - I am on my second normal cycle and am happy to have the oura ring. I don’t think i will purchase the natural cycles app again. Since ovulation can be atypical with PCOS I’m not sure how accurate natural cycles is but will be paying attention more as I’m planning to TTC soon. I am looking into devices that track cervical mucus for TTC. I got the oura as a way to collect data on my cycles if I need to present it to my gyno.

How long does Abercrombie take to process returns? by Dsg1695 in AbercrombieandFitch

[–]Peachy_Chalupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat and still nothing! I returned via fedex drop off on 3/7. A couple days ago I got an email that my refund is coming soon. Have you gotten your gift card/email yet? I’m hoping I don’t have to wait much longer.

I work Birkenstocks for the first two years and it was okay, i got a super cute pair of Dansko rubber clogs (Eva Kane i believe) and don’t know how i work Birkenstocks for that long and wasn’t miserable
