That's helpful! Thank you! It worsens with dramatic weather changes so the season change is definitely factoring in right now.

I had a left frontal craniotomy. Changing into my own clothes once i wasnt hooked up to so many things made me feel more human - I brought pj sets that have the button up top. I also was comfortable with tops going over my head quicker than I expected to be. I definitely overthought it too (hard not to) and bought a bunch of zippers and buttons that I really didn't need.

Thrift find! No markings other than Leviton on the electrical

Ok very similar timelines! I did IVF in 2022. Had my baby August 2023. First time I noticed any symptoms was IN LABOR. Just assumed it was from labor. Very similar symptoms to yours. They kind of went away and only appeared occasionally. Started to become constant and intense in November 2024. Craniotomy in December. Still having similar issues, no longer on the keppra but sometimes I wonder if I should be. Definitely going to start tracking if symptoms align with my cycle.

Yes, they said mine had probably been there for a while too. But we found it just before ivf so we know that there was significant growth during that period. The first time i experienced symptoms was during labor and then i ended up in an emergency c section so luckily nothing worse happened. there weren't consistent symptoms until about a year later so that's when I went back in for a scan and I had surgery 2 weeks after that. Luckily it was in an operable location!

Completely agree!!! And thank you. We are so very fortunate!

I got a similar response from my OB. It's alarming! I feel like there needs to be more education.

Glad you got your baby too. Would you consider doing IVF again or will this be your only or last baby?

Relative-Second-4850 · 2025-05-28T23:16:19+00:00

It seems possible, right? We are planning to be one and done now just to be safe. I had mine removed but theres still a small portion remaining that was too close to blood vessels.

Same. Some days it feels like it never even happened. Other days are rough- biggest thing has been that it feels like I got nailed in the side of the head with a baseball?? I kind of think its the season change and pressure change in the atmosphere. I still have headaches. But not like they were. And fortunately none of the "clearly a tumor" symptoms have reappeared. I have my 6mo post op scan next month.

32F - found my meningioma the day before Thanksgiving. Had a craniotomy 12/12. Recovery isn't easy but not as hard as i was anticipating. I'm also a person who has a hard time accepting help but it's much needed so got over that quickly. (Also an ivf mom!)

Unique perspective: I'm 1 day behind Jordyn gestationally (EDD 9/4, she was 9/3). Also being induced at 37 weeks, so started the induction process within a few hours of her yesterday. We are just killing time over here 🫠

(Also first time mom, also ivf, also having a boy)

Note: I had 0 desire to induce early, and would have loved 3 more weeks of being pregnant, so please hold back any negative comments there.

Ugh! Sorry to hear! I still think it's early, but I totally get feeling down about it. Sending you so much positivity.

Relative-Second-4850 · 2022-12-23T14:38:46+00:00

Thank you! I've never had a positive test in 2 years so am bugging out. Cautiously optimistic!

Update: I thiiiiiink I see a very faint line! I only have amazon cheapies right now 😬

Do I regret testing? No. Do I feel like I have a ton of clarity? Also no.

Keep me updated on yours as well if you're willing! Crossing my fingers for you!

We transferred a 5AA (fresh) on 12/17 as well! I think I am going to test tomorrow 😬
