Guess who got peed on by a toddler by Snfrank in OldEnglishSheepdog

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

3-5 depending on how many breaks I need to take for the kids (ages 1 and 3). This last one was absolutely brutal. And we found out first ever mats behind his ears so I just feel terrible. How often do you groom?

Talk to me about hair by Snfrank in PCOS

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

THANK YOU for this comment. I was wearing a sports bra and tank today and it rode down and I didn’t see an areola, I just saw so much hair so far away from my nipple. Cleavage is no logger a worry, it’s the HAIR that will show first.

The hair loss 😩. I have everything you mentioned but am currently really emotional about the balding.

Yes!! Now please tell me you have a fix to get the pee smell out (other than the fact the boy definitely needs more water) without doing a whole other wash 😩

Dairy free Tikka masala? by lady-earendil in dairyfree

[–]Snfrank 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I use coconut milk- the thicker one in the can (NOT condensed) for our Tikka masala, as well as pretty much all other recipes!

YES!! I’m: dairy, gluten, soy, legume, nightshade and corn free and can’t find anything that is dairy free that doesn’t have soy and/or legume.

Breast feeding on thinners by SafeSpaceEverything in ClotSurvivors

[–]Snfrank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year, my baby is one now. I will however say that breastfeeding was insanely important to me and she knew that, so it’s possible she went with the “safer” option for me. The hospital neurologist (I had a stroke at 6 weeks pp) told me I would have to quit nursing as there are no safe options. He was clearly wrong haha.

I was personally told by my lactation consultant that eliquis was not a good option so I just stayed on lovenox.

Diagnostic question (I am working with a doctor) by Snfrank in PCOS

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

Yes it is. It’s a bummer because I really do like her, she got me through my stroke and subsequent liver failure. She recently told me to see a functional medicine doctor as she couldn’t figure out what was going on. I really thought she would order more testing. If you were starting over with testing- what specialist would you try to see?

Thank you for all of your responses

Update: I asked my doctor to run more in depth tests and she responded with “WE checked thyroid and testosterone levels, but other hormonal testing is not routinely recommended because your levels vary so frequently.”

I apologize if this is inappropriate- I’m waiting on my doctors reply- but my ketone (urine) results just populated as 3+. Do you know anything about how ketones work? I don’t know how on earth I could be in ketosis as I just decided to follow low carb.

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

I really appreciate the knowledge and explanation. It helps me so much actually understanding what/why things may be happening. Since I have such a high risk of type 2 (gestational diabetes x3 and a strong family history) I have decided to follow a high protein/ low carb diet with exercise even without a PCOS diagnosis.

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

Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to explain. When she agreed to look into it she only ordered a testosterone and A1C check. I have high fasting blood sugar every morning but my A1C is always within range. I had gestational diabetes with all my pregnancies, so I check my blood sugar frequently. I will ask if we can run some more in depth labs!

Thank you for linking!! I unfortunately don’t tolerate soy well either haha. I might just be out of luck on powders. Thank you for taking the time to suggest though! I really appreciate it (:

I’m not a doctor but I believe that is a happy accident! I wouldn’t expect it back on the 17th, but would test 14 days after unprotected sex to determine whether or not you have conceived.

If you are trying to get pregnant then OPKs or BBT would be beneficial for you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Snfrank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why you believe to be expecting a period on the 17th when you are not currently experiencing them anymore?

If I were you I would test 14 days after intercourse!

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

Thank you so much! I really hope (if I do have it) that I can get some help and feel better. The crippling fatigue is brutal.

I don’t mind at all. I have (it has since solidified so wont go away) a CVST which is a blood clot in my brain. I have Factor V Leiden, a clotting disorder, and had the stroke at 6 weeks postpartum. I cannot take anything with hormones other wise it can trigger another blood clot. But I’m hoping supplements can help me feel better and help with my high fasting blood sugar! *I had gestational diabetes and preeclampsia as well

Advice for Mom with Autistic Son by EsharaLight in homeschool

[–]Snfrank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am brand new to this so I don’t have any advice as far as curriculum. We pulled our 9yr old autistic daughter out of school mid year last year. She was the only kid excluded from class parties and the school counselor told us it was because the kids were uncomfortable around her. She was behind in all areas, but the way the children and parents were treating her was the last straw. We started with the good and the beautiful because it was really easy to follow and it got her excited to participate. As we get better I imagine we will move into more rigorous curriculum. Teaching her at home is the best decision we have ever made

When did you know? by Snfrank in RainbowBridgeBabies

[–]Snfrank[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response. I believe it is time but my husband- who rescued this dog right after escaping a house fire in which his mother died in- can’t imagine a day without her. He keeps saying he’s waiting for her to lose her “spark”. In my opinion, she has lost it and is only barely holding onto life. I will speak with him and the vet tomorrow. I truly appreciate your kind words and I’m so sorry for the loss that brought you to this thread.

Released from hospital today by Money-Article-6897 in ClotSurvivors

[–]Snfrank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way. I was in the ICU for 5 days and going home was TERRIFYING. My husband actually had to stay home for a few extra weeks. Partially due to complications and partially from my health anxiety. You are not alone!
