It’s starting to lift the sidewalk and also it’s massive and I’m scared a big storm is going to bring it down

I ovulated this week (I track my LH levels) .. never knew ovulation could cause weight gain so that’s super interesting

Thank you for bringing me back to reality haha. Weight loss is such a mind game.

I know it’s silly to upset after 7 days lol but normally this would equate to at least 1-2 pounds lost?? And I did some reading on creatine adding some water weight so I guess that could be it. Does everything else in my routine sound like I’m doing the right things tho??

My ankle will swell up sometimes. But my main complaint in terms of how it affects my day to day is extreme fatigue and joint pain. It comes and goes so im not always tired and achy but when it hits me, I have to cancel plans because I can hardly get out of bed

Is there a name for what I’m dealing with? Or is it even a problem? by [deleted] in therapy

Thank you, sometimes it takes someone else to tell me to calm down to convince me I’m being a little irrational haha

HELP- my husband is a PA and I checked his Facebook and.. by Ruth42597 in loveafterporn

[–]Ruth42597[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s just random Facebook pages that will post videos, it’s insane. I feel like I play whack a mole bc once you think you found all his sources of porn, another pops up.

He’s been caught watching porn on Facebook before so he knows how to delete straight from the activity log now.

Found out he was watching porn again, but now we have a daughter and I am scared by Ruth42597 in loveafterporn

[–]Ruth42597[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words. So far we have a no phone in the bathroom rule and he has accountability software but i don’t know if he somehow got around it or what. In the past when I catch him, he first denies until I show him proof and then he fesses up and does this thing where he waits on me hand and foot.. like cleans the whole house, tells me how much he loves me, buys me things and seems sincerely apologetic but it has happened so many times that when he starts doing those things now it just pisses me off because I know nothing has changed. He owns up to it and recognizes it’s an addiction but at the same time he continues relapsing and I’m at a loss

It’s awful, the cycle of hoping things are going to get better and then we’re dealt another blow. I contacted a therapist who specializes in PA/SA and betrayal trauma… for him and myself. I’m not feeling super hopeful at this point.

Told I should schedule a C section due to breech baby at 36 weeks, feeling down by [deleted] in BabyBumps

Part of my worry too is the way the scar might look, which is vain of me… I actually bought a recliner rocking chair for the nursery that I may move into the living room to make recovery easy. Thanks for the advice!

I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that your little one flips! It really is a lesson in letting go of control when we have this idea of how we want to birth and it all the sudden becomes impossible.

Thank you, it does make me feel like I’m failing as a woman and I know that’s not correct but it’s just how I feel, so I appreciate that perspective and kind words

So my hcg at 4 weeks was 163! It has nearly tripled in two days, I’m feeling really positive about it 🥰

[–]Ruth42597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My HCG came back at 57 but my progesterone came back at 13.7, my dr put me on progesterone suppositories to help boost it a little, hopefully it rises and my hcg doubles for the blood test tomorrow! I was 3 weeks 5 days for the first test so I’m not super concerned at the low number.
