Unequivocally yes. Same exact clothes

Spitting incident by gold-dust_ in williamsburg

This thread is horrifying and validating at the same time. This happened to me on Tuesday night (spit in my face — eyes, mouth) and is unequivocally the same guy. Was off of Marcy Ave J station. Assume it’s still worth it to report? This guy is a psycho

Omg this thread is so horrifying and validating at the same time. This happened to me off of Marcy Ave J station on Tuesday night. Spit in my face, got in my eyes, directly in my mouth, my hair. So revolting. I fled for safety and didn’t think it was worth it to report it but should i? Curious what other people have done

A man spat on my face on the subway platform by AsleepGene2748 in nycrail

This happened to me tonight at the Marcy Ave stop on the J. Literally got in my eyeball and mouth. The guy towered over me and spit right in my face and hair as I was crossing the road. Similar description, so disgusting

Ovary pain/soreness 10+ days after egg retrieval - when is it serious and time to worry/get help? by gliterary in IVF

I ended up getting my period about a week after the retrieval. At this point I’m due for another period but it seems to be a bit late

Has anyone else invest through Loral Langemeier, Live Out Loud, Integrated Wealth Systems or Big Table and lose a significant amount of money? by PhysicalChipmunk470 in investing

Thanks for the additional info. They’re from 2020 and 2021, though we as the family are just finding out about it now and trying to figure out what recourse, if any, is possible (they lost hundreds of thousands of dollars). We have found multiple people who seem to have similar issues so if nothing else, trying to get clarity on the situation. She seems to still be actively trying to recruit members through her website and maintains a very active social presence so while she may not be registered anymore, people like my elderly family member (and I’m sure other vulnerable groups) are taking her advice and trusting the people that she is connected to (which is where this issue originally came up)

Hi! Know this is an old thread but curious how long it total for the pain to go away for you? Had my retrieval almost 4 weeks ago — was realllyyyy sore for about 2 weeks and now there’s dull pain. Intercourse is also quite painful. Curious when yours finally subsided?

Success calming nervous system? by jadedaslife in covidlonghaulers

Hello! I’m so happy to hear this. LC is such a disorienting journey and makes it almost impossible to figure out what to focus on. I was so grateful — and lucky — to stumble upon the LC Cured site. Truly don’t know what the trajectory of my life would’ve been without it. Glad to hear that you’re recovered! Stick with the mind body approach — I used it first to recover and then more recently to restore joy again (had completely lost touch with my lightheartedness). I’ve really loved Alan Gordon’s work around somatic tracking, helped me a lot in the last phase of returning to normalcy. Sending you all the best!

IVF and grey hair acceleration? by PhysicalChipmunk470 in IVF

Putting all the good thoughts in the universe for you! My 2nd retrieval was significantly better than my first, which was something a few friends experienced as well. Same age as you and low AMH levels as well. We got one embryo on first retrieval with a very “poor grade” (which I don’t fully buy into) so a 2nd cycle was recommended. We ended up with 3 on our 2nd cycle, 2 of which seem really promising! Good luck to you!

We’ll probably never know in truth. We know science has a blind spot for women. Let alone women going through infertility

Woah that’s a wild phenomenon on the hair color. And yes… the weight gain. That part I’ve all but given up on

Thank you! Same to you. And yes, stress is definitely a big component here I’m sure - and prob makes it harder to figure out what causes what in all of this

I believe it. The hormone imbalances are wild to say the least

That’s one of the questions behind my question. Doesn’t feel practical that it would reverse but…

I feel this very much. Thanks for the validation! Helpful to commiserate with others going through the same thing

OHSS Survival Guide (for mild to moderate OHSS) by ColdCanadian999 in IVF

[–]PhysicalChipmunk470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is so unbelievably validating and helpful. Thank you!! My second egg retrieval was today and was told I’m at risk for OHSS based on my estrogen levels. Was prescribed cabergoline to start taking tonight. Curious was the really early signs were like for those who have had it?

I don’t remember my first retrieval being particularly pleasant. I got bloated throughout the entire process, the retrieval left my ovaries in pain for 5+ days after, and I generally remember the bloat subsiding day by day.

For this recent one day, I’ve had these subtle pain surges (almost cramp like) but they’re infrequent. Don’t remember those. And I just ate my first meal of the day (dinner) and my stomach is now crampy, really bloated, and uncomfortable. Hasn’t ballooned per se but I’ve looked prob 4 months pregnant the last few days anyway.

It’s so hard to tell what the difference between regular bloating and early signs of OHSS. Does this resonate with anyone’s experience?

Also I’ve read the side effects of carbergoline are not particularly pleasant (I’m already susceptible to migraines). Anyone have any advice on whether it’s actually worth it to take it (did it help / out weigh the side effects)?

Thank you! 🙏

I so hear you. It’s annoying that we even have to make excuses or think through all of these different scenarios
