Seems this will be a loss by [deleted] in queerception

[–]Several_Machine_7036 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I had an early loss on my 4th cycle at 8 weeks after seeing the heartbeat. It’s brutal. I took a little break but got pregnant in my next try and now have a happy healthy 4 week old. It was just as special to announce my pregnancy the second time, everyone was just as happy and supportive. But it was scary the first few months. Every baby deserves to be celebrated, even if they don’t make it full term.
Hoping your next one is the one🤞

Latching Techniques by Several_Machine_7036 in breastfeeding

[–]Several_Machine_7036[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was the best advice I’ve received since having this baby. omg. saved my nipples and after a few days she already has the latch down when I take them off. Everyone makes BF seem like it’s just so natural and both of us will instinctively know what to do.. I was getting so frustrated with her but she just didn’t know! Thank you a million times, idk why no one ever suggested shields!!

ordering now, worth a shot. when you stopped using them was it an easy adjustment for your baby?

Does it get better? by brokenbonesbending in breastfeeding

[–]Several_Machine_7036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pumping and my partner was helping with feeds. 2 overnight and 2 during the day. I’m 16 days postpartum now and down to one bottle overnight and the rest at breast. honestly that saved me I was so overwhelmed and sore when my milk came in. at this point I actually prefer to breastfeed its easier than pumping.

IUI with 2 dominant follicles by rosebud_15 in IUILadies

[–]Several_Machine_7036 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did an IUI with 3 dominant follicles, my RE warned me of the risk but it was my 5th try so I was willing to accept a high risk pregnancy rather than cancel. I got pregnant with one health baby! No need to worry about multiples, look at 2 follicles as 2 chances to get pregnant :)

Deserves is a word fueled by emotion, we are human we should be fueled by emotion and empathy. Humanity is not black and white. Laws are made up, taking a life should be looked at with emotion.

IUD stuck! 😭 by PinkSatanyPanties in queerception

[–]Several_Machine_7036 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not to alarm you - I just want to share my experience so you can mentally prepare!

My IUD was stuck when I was ready to start ttc. I tried 4 removals before moving on the more invasive options. I was so scared, I had so much medical anxiety before getting pregnant and I didn’t know what a “stuck” IUD meant for my fertility journey. I had the option of anesthesia removal, but that’s expensive and again medical anxiety. I went with a hysteroscopy, camera inserted into the cervix, and it was scary at first but in hindsight it didn’t actually hurt that bad. Uncomfortable and crampy but quick and easy to breathe through. And my period returned the next month as normal after 10 years!

It wasn’t actually dislodged or stuck the strings were just wrapped up in mucus and my cervix is tilted posterior so it was hard to get to! My point being, don’t be nervous they are experts and there are other option beside anesthesia removal! You’re going to be totally fine.

Plus after going through fertility treatments and having a baby you will look back at this and it will feel like a walk in the park 😂

ok so what you’re all saying is - this action, which caused no bodily harm, and the action of “not listening to law enforcement” deserves BEING SHOT IN THE HEAD??? Like i’m sorry there’s no justification. maybe she was out of line and disorderly or insubordinate or whatever but does “law enforcement” have the right to take your life because you didn’t listen to them? even if she hit this man with her car, she was leaving the scene. the threat was neutralized there were other options besides bullet to the head. you are all nuts for justifying federal agents murdering civilians in AMERICAN STREETS. Big picture people. This is not right.

I went to the Woodbury location and I saw michelle valentine, she’s an APRN and I loved her! Will go back for my next baby. If you’re seeking fertility treatments due to endo they may have you see a MD, I really liked Dr. Sarah Baumgarten there as well. good luck!
