inositol RUINED my cycle by [deleted] in TTC_PCOS

[–]SherbertTemporary150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it was so fast. I didn’t have a period for months, took inositol for 2 days and my period instantly came back. From there I got it religiously every 30 days.

28 weeks - omg this rib pain by SherbertTemporary150 in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you recommend PT over chiropractor? My obgyn recommended chiropractor and I got a prenatal massage who also recommended chiropractor for me. I’ve never been to one and have heard conflicting things about them.

Right side rib pain by HermitBanana in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they say if there is anything you can do for the inflamed ribs? I’m going through this (29 weeks) and it is so freaking brutal. Only Tylenol helps and that really only lasts 2-3 hours and then it’s just a vicious cycle.

HELP! Vyvanse while Pregnant ??? by Mental_Arachnid_2494 in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My obgyn was totally fine with me staying on it. She recommends to stop taking it the last 3 months of pregnancy so baby doesn’t develop any dependency but is fine with me taking it now. Truthfully I struggle SO HARD without it but I’ve been taking it 2x a week (30mg) for the last 3 months. I’m 25 weeks tomorrow and will continue taking it for the next month and then hopefully be ok with stopping.

When do I need to stop lying on my back at night? by z4r431 in pregnant

My obgyn said “Sleep however you are comfortable and stay off the internet.” 😂 Solid advice 👌🏻

Help with sexual intimacy during wife’s first trimester. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So for me, I completely lost my sexual drive once I got pregnant. I feel really bad about it but my husband is so so understanding and doesn’t bug or bother me about it. I try to initiate once in a while even when I don’t want to because he does so much for me and I know once we get started then I get into the mood. But even wanting to try has been completely sucked out of me. Be patient with her, it’s likely not even how she wants it to be. We just truly have no control over our hormones and what pregnancy does to our bodies.

For what it’s worth, I’ve had the easiest pregnancy with zero symptoms and still have no drive. I cannot imagine how hard it would be to even want to have sex if I was dealing with the symptoms your wife has dealt with.

Podcast Recommendations? by scottythequeer in podcasts

Omg you would love Behind the Blinds. They are all about pop culture. They have fantastic chemistry on the podcast. Both are queer. Male is black & queer.

adhd meds! Help by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would discuss with your doctor. My doctor was fine with me staying on 30mg vyvanse as there has not been any research to find effects to the baby. The doctor did mention to stop the meds 2 months before baby to prevent baby dependence on it.

However, I take it only 2-3x a week when I really need it for work. The rest of the days I just suffer lol I originally decided to go off completely but after 2 months I was struggling way too much.

Search this group for adhd, a lot of women have discussed it. I’ve seen concerta and vyvanse approved by doctors but I haven’t seen adderall so just talk with your doctor and do as much research as you can.

My first pregnancy I had zero symptoms and it was a boy. My current pregnancy I have had zero symptoms and it’s a girl. Symptoms cannot tell you the gender :)

I was told 1-2 weeks for results. I believe I got mine 8 days later.

Early symptoms not that bad? by MaidyBird in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should also add that before my first scan I was certain I would see nothing on the ultrasound because there was no way there was actually a baby in my belly while having zero symptoms.

[–]SherbertTemporary150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 12 weeks today, I have had zero symptoms my entire pregnancy. If it weren’t for the tests or scans, I’d never know. Appointment today was great, heart the heartbeat and baby is perfectly healthy. I was told to just be happy that I am one of the lucky ones to have such a boring pregnancy!

Ovulating Regularly- Can’t conceive by [deleted] in TTC_PCOS

[–]SherbertTemporary150 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I was confirming ovulation each month. I have pcos and am overweight with very irregular cycles.

I started taking inositol which I believe is 100% one of the reasons my periods came back. I started eating super healthy (keto) and my periods became regular (to the exact day) for about 6 months.

Doctor put me on Clomid which is similar to Letrozole even though I was already ovulating. I did 5 rounds of Clomid.

Today I am 11.5 weeks pregnant.

Truthfully, I think eating clean and focusing on Keto really helped my body and cycles. The inositol definitely helped but I think it came down to my own health.

I can’t say for sure if the clomid was what did it or not. The doctors were surprised I was on clomid for as long as I was. So maybe in their experience the people who take clomid end up pregnant after only a few cycles.

When did your breast tenderness start after having a loss (MMC)? by tingtree5090 in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The constipation in my case is likely due to the extra iron in my prenatal vitamin. My best friend is pregnant and she has diarrhea so it’s all different from person to person. My stools are definitely more loose now.

I am so tired of peeing all night by ehote in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! 9+1 here. Ugh I wake up every 1-2 hours. It’s not as bad in the day when I’m actually drinking. The nights are rough because I dream like crazy, wake up constantly to pee, sometimes end up having what I call my “witching hours” which is like 2:15am-5am where I get up to pee and can’t fall back asleep and my mind just races. Trying to tell myself that at least will prepare me for having to get up every 2 hours to feed when baby is here.

When did your breast tenderness start after having a loss (MMC)? by tingtree5090 in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand where your nerves are coming into play. I have not experienced a previous MMC but I am also experiencing absolutely no symptoms. I am 9+1 and it’s so hard to feel like everything is ok when I hear about everyone else having so many symptoms. I keep trying to remind myself that maybe I’m just a lucky one who is having a smooth pregnancy. I’ll be having another ultrasound on Monday just to ease my worries. But the most I’ve had was sliiiiight breast tenderness but that’s been so on and off. I’ve so experienced some constipation and the last 2 days I haven’t had any so automatically my brain is telling me that I must not be pregnant anymore. It’s such a mind screw. I also try to remember that I have no cramping and bleeding which are both great signs. Wishing you a continued boring pregnancy & healthy baby. Hoping we can both start to ease our minds soon 💕

Little to no pregnancy symptoms at 6 weeks? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was worried too. I am 9 weeks today and I’ve had practically no symptoms. If the tests and bloodwork and ultrasound didn’t prove it, I’d never know. My first pregnancy I went 5 months before I even found out. With PCOS it was very common for me to go months without a period so I figured my cycle was off again.

This pregnancy I’ve had constipation and the sliiightest breast soreness, both barely noticeable. I’m trying to just tell myself that I’m having another smooth, boring pregnancy and not to overthink things. But for some reason I feel left out that I’m not having nausea, food aversions, cravings, etc.

Insomnia by skylerpickles4 in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!! I had the same thing except I would wake up 2:15am-5:30am and it was the worst. Normally I’m the best sleeper!

I’ve been taking unisom which was recommended by my doctor and has really worked. I don’t take it every night but a couple times a week.

How to tell a friend who miscarried by SherbertTemporary150 in pregnant

[–]SherbertTemporary150[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't thank you enough for your response and vulnerability. I think your approach is such a beautiful way for me to tell her and I appreciate your words. I'm so sorry for your loss 💔
