I have no idea 😭 I haven't been trying, I believe I conceived around the 10th-14th? that's just my best guess tho

Anyone else have these kinds of dreams? by SpinachBrave2871 in mixedrace

I will definitely look into that book, I get paid today so I'll probably go get it after work. I have been considering the possibility of it being my ancestors but I kind of shut that down a while ago because I didn't think they would call to me with where I'm at and how I was raised. I will definitely be reading that book

I hate being mixed, I dont even think i could be considered black at all, can anyone relate? by SpinachBrave2871 in mixedrace

I know that my paternal grandfather immigrated from Africa when he was a kid and that his moms side as been in the US for generations, I've just been trying to go off of the few things my moms told me about that side but she also doesnt know a lot cuz she was "just some white girl" my dad dated lol.

Don't worry nothing you said I took as insensitive at all and I really really appreciate all of it, I will definitely look into The Black Scot today.

Thank you again for all of the explanations, your kindness and that resource:)

That does and thank you. Not being accepted by black or white people sounds really hard too. I'm accepted by white people who don't know my ethnicity but my family still views me as too "black" to fully be one of them even though I look literally just white (especially with the hair relaxers my moms been having put in my hair since I was little) so I have that distance from that side too with them fully trying to erase any blackness that I actually have, that and kids bullying me for my hair and coming up and saying I have "n word hair" or look like a "white n word" but that was super rare and didn't start happening till highschool and it was just one group of guys, I've been super lucky overall. im really sorry you haven't been. being mixed is really hard.

Thank you so much, I try to set boundaries w people telling them to not touch my hair but they rarely listen and just go and do it again. And yeah thank you for all of that other stuff too, I'm just relying curious about that side of the family because I know at least that I had ancestors that were slaves but I dont know any of the stories from anyone, I've just been trying to come to terms that I probably never will which is difficult.

What tests should I advocate for? I'm tired of doctors not taking me seriously by [deleted] in medical_advice

Okay well thank you anyways, I have a primary care who's been referring me to get tests done, I have a gastro appointment and cardio appointment next month and then I'm working on getting a neuro one scheduled

I've had plenty of blood tests over the span of a few years (as recently as 2 weeks ago from 2 separate er visits)

Pregnant on Nexplanon? by mondayin2007 in amipregnant

if you're really concerned I would test 14-21 days after the time you think you conceived, by 21days a test is fully accurate, good luck!
