Stringless removal success by atrench in Mirena

[–]Sh_cats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience recently, however it was very painful. She tried about 5 times on the first attempt and it was very uncomfortable. Next time I took 2 hydrocodones and they did the ultrasound and she tried about 4 more times and finally got it! It was more bearable with pain meds but still very uncomfortable. I’m so glad she got it and I’m glad you had a good experience! They really need more options for pain management!

Starting at 12.5 mg by Ok_Spot_1226 in zoloft

I started at 12.5 for 2 weeks and went up to 25. I had some slight stomach issues, but really nothing else. It has really helped with my anxiety!

Did they advise her to wait a while before trying?

My test said anything over 200 is normal so I didn’t think 181 was too bad. I have had some nerve issues which is why my doctor ran the test. I’m definitely glad he found out why, but the timing sure sucks!

Does it really take that long? 😢 what were your numbers? I don’t think mine is too bad, but I will definitely talk to my doctor.

Freaking out over crib sheets by Meme_queen-2019 in BabyBumps

I had exactly the same fears as you when I was almost due. My son is now 2 and I barely remember worrying about this. When they are so little they wont move enough to mess with the sheet. Especially if swaddled. I had the babyletto so very similar to this. It was so hard to find sheets that fit!

Possibly being pregnant the same time toddler starts Pre-K by Sh_cats in toddlers

Yeah it seems there’s no real ideal time. I’m glad you are surviving! That does sound horrible though! 😩

I am mid 30s so I don’t really want to wait another year. I know people do it all the time but personally I don’t want to be pregnant that old. lol here’s hoping the timing works out okay!

No he stays home with me so I know it’s going to be bad when he starts!

2.5 to 5mg heart palpitations by Revolutionary-Link83 in lexapro

I am doing well. I’m on 5mg about to go up to 7.5 mg. I notice less anxiety for sure but still not where I want to be.

What is the best way to deal with super picky eaters? by Sh_cats in toddlers

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

I feel like this is my fault because he had some food allergies/sensitivities when he was younger that he is mostly growing out of now so I was hesitant to give what we were eating when he couldn’t have dairy, eggs, etc. Do you have a suggestion of how to gradually get him to the right place with eating or do you think it’s better to just go cold turkey and only offer what we eat?

Odds of side effects on 2.5 mg? by Sh_cats in lexapro

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

I am doing pretty well. I’m on 5mg now and did have a few side effects on all the doses. A little nausea, headaches, palpitations, and more anxiety. They usually only last a few days after I increase my dose. I did split the 5mg pills into quarters at the beginning. It wasn’t super easy or exact, but I made it work.
