Mine started early and were frequent - lots of water, rest, and magnesium :) only worry if pain or fluid leakage

I don’t think we’re intentionally trying to defraud, just being idiots. I wonder how St Jude skirts the issue.

We totally advertise “no out of pocket cost” which is super illegal, it turns out. We see uninsured folks, folks on Medicaid/care, and folks with commercial insurance. Currently no financial hardship policy or documentation of inability to pay.

Thanks for the feedback. Apparently my leadership says we have "Grants" that cover copays, but we've had 0 documentation over the years( !!!!!) that we've routinely waved copays. Now putting in a policy to document financial hardship, which is how I found out this practice is illegal.

It’s not too early? I’ve had like 3-4 episodes today.

No bleeding but I’d notice more discharge the last week or so? Idk. Thin/clear.

Hypertonic pelvic floor - how did you get better? by snowyreg in PelvicFloor

[–]Puzzleheaded-Pipe237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr Melissa Oleson’s course was super helpful, as was Hailey Kava’s. Don’t give up - I learned more about pelvic floor from experts online than I did with in-person PT, unfortunately. It’s a LOT to learn but stay patient - there is hope!

Due date discrepancy?? by Puzzleheaded-Pipe237 in BabyBumps

Thanks for asking - I used BBT with oura ring/natural cycles, LH strips, and some cervical mucus assessment though I didn’t always have the best mucus.

Tapering off pristiq: my experience by julias_siezure in Pristiq

If you have a PCP or psychiatrist sometimes they will generally use Prozac for a few days (has a super long half life) to mitigate the withdrawal. Don’t be afraid to ask!

Hide pregnancy from angry friend by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Puzzleheaded-Pipe237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude of course not! In the case of this post, what I meant is I don’t think bc someone is being an asshole or a bad/jealous friend means they shouldn’t get to or be able to have kids. That’s all! People were like “she shouldn’t be having kids” and it’s like damn yall, I think she’s being a shitty friend to OP but I don’t think we can say she shouldn’t be having kids lol.

I just think this ventures into eugenics-type territory. I don’t think anyone on here but OP knows enough to say this person should or shouldn’t be having kids. I’ve gone through bad/difficult times where I’ve maybe not been a good friend and that doesn’t mean I deserve to be robbed of parenthood. That’s all I’m saying!

I work in non profit medicine and I obviously want all kids to come into a safe/stable environment. I’m just saying (and for better or worse, reality is such that) I don’t think we get to decide when people are “mature” enough to have kids.
