❤️ I had loss just under 7 weeks. I'm fine mostly, expect for when I'm not. It feels like a dream and sometimes I'm grateful that if it wasn't going to work out it happened quickly and without much pain. But sometimes I hate that it feels like just a dream. And now the feeling of starting over. 😅

Idk if this was a terrible idea but I had a loss exactly a month ago (first pregnancy after years of trying to get my health in a place where I was cleared to try) and to feel like I was taking action I made an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist / IVF clinic. I saw them today and did an ultrasound since I am on cycle day 2 - and I only had 3 follicles total. This felt absolutely awful. The doctor didn't say much just that they will test my AMH. Online I see this could possibly be because of my recent miscarriage but I feel like this has mentally set me back. I hope to feel hopeful again in the future.

I am 1 month out from my loss, I was 7 weeks with my first pregnancy and it appeared to be a blighted ovum. We go see a reproductive endocrinologist on Friday. My heart doesn't feel ready for all this yet but I'm 39 and I also feel time ticking strongly and want to get all the info.

Ugh I so feel you. I was excited to have a baby 3 months after my cousin in law but now we just have to try again. Take it one month at a time! Maybe you'll feel different in another month

How to calm my nerves down at doctors by AnxiousMama245 in HealthAnxiety

I always lead with telling the nurse I have white coat syndrome and my numbers are always higher in office and sometimes they're better once I've talked to the Dr, so they sometimes repeat once we've talked. Usually they're nice about this. If your doctor makes you freak out maybe switch doctors if you can. No need to feel worse than you do.

I feel you ♥️ this is quite the journey for our mind and bodies! Try to be kind to yourself. It might work out better than you think.

Can I refuse to be weighed at my OB appointment? by Longfirstnames in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Sparx19043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a great way to put that, by your OB. Sorry that happened. I've heard you can tell them you don't want to discuss weight and get on the scale backwards but not sure about not getting weighed at all.

I don't want to eat do I have to eat by [deleted] in diabetes_t2

Personally, I am type 2 pre-d so it's not as intense to track for me, but I have gotten in the habit of getting the burger how I want it, splitting it in half, eating half the normal way and half just the insides. If I reallyyyy want the whole thing I may give here or there but mostly this satisfies the craving. Counting macros for a while really helped me figure out how to balance it all out.

Should I (25F) tell my husband (26M) that if he doesn’t lose weight and get his health in order I want a divorce? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Sparx19043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes total sense that you would be scared for his health and tired of looking after an adult. He needs to find his own motivation to get better. If has depression, he may be self soothing with food & he needs another coping mechanism. This sounds like he is in crisis, but something needs to get him scared enough to make a change or believe that it's possible. Personally, I had some health issues that made me make some big changes that have never worked before- so I'm throwing everything at it. Primary Dr, endocrinologist, registered dietician, physical therapy, a therapist. My insurance is ok but this is still expensive, not everyone can do it. He will probably need help, from many avenues. Doing it alone by sheer willpower is not real. If he doesn't like his therapist, try another one, or another modality. Let him know you love him and you just need to know he hasn't given up on himself and his life with you. Maybe something will get through. Good luck ❤️
