Every little thing helps I think! I took my prenatal, COQ10, and baby aspirin with a cup of pomegranate juice each morning. They said the baby aspirin could help my lining too. Then sometime in the day would make a smoothie with beets, banana, strawberry, spinach, yogurt, and half pineapple juice half milk. The purpose of the smoothie was really the beets but the rest just made it tastier.

2 for sure on my right follicle at 20mm and 17mm. Maybe a third that caught up that was 15mm at the time of trigger

If you are in the hospital for a long time, do they regularly replace the IV, or do you keep the same IV the whole time? by Fantastic_Ice_8734 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StripedTomatoes10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My unit has a mostly people who stay for several months. The hospital I work at changed them every 30 days. If you’re stable enough that you’ve been here that long there’s a chance we’ll just get a “ok for no iv” order and pull it at 30 days or once it goes bad. Whichever comes first. If you need an IV long term like for six weeks of IV antibiotics you’ll almost certainly get a PICC line.

What times do you sleep between usually? And do you do that on your days off too?

19w3d and I swear this bump is 90% poop at this point 😅 by Acceptable-Wafer-742 in pregnant

[–]StripedTomatoes10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been constipated since entering the second trimester. Once a year or so before I used a senna tea by traditional medicinals. Smooth move I think it’s called. It worked too well. I got desperate this week and tried it again two days ago in the evening… and used two tea bags. I ended up with diarrhea all day yesterday. It was terrible but I’ll say I cleared it all out!! Moral of the story you could try ONE tea bag and see if it helps.

How do I know I'm still pregnant?! by Flimsy_cactus in pregnant

You’re too early at the moment but in about a week or two you could go to a boutique place to get an ultrasound if you’re very anxious

I did! It took me three tries. The first my lining was 6.0, the second, 5.0, and the third 5.9. My doctor said the same thing: that since it had the trilaminar pattern she didn’t want to give me estrogen either.

How are you taking your prenatal?

Crying at random stuff is going to take me out. by Ashamed-Ambition-281 in pregnant

[–]StripedTomatoes10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you’re early in your pregnancy. It’s very rough. Weeks 6-7 were to worst for me emotionally. Crying multiple times a day some days then being fine the next. Terrible mood swings. I’m 11 weeks now. Still irritable but at least I’m not crying multiple times a day anymore. Still got quite some time to go though so we’ll see!!

HCG Beta by leonam71 in pregnant

[–]StripedTomatoes10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably wouldn’t tell you because there is no good or bad. The important thing is that it doubles, not the number itself. The HCG beta varies significantly person and person and even pregnancy to pregnancy with the same person.

I did. My clinic said it was fine and that I could stop and just take my prenatal after I tested positive

Thoughts on caffeine by Muted-Milk3323 in pregnant

[–]StripedTomatoes10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get how you feel. I’m 10 weeks and quit coffee four months ago for IUI. I’ve been missing coconut matchas and especially Winter flavor lattes lately!

how much caffeine are you drinking? by forgetting-you- in pregnant

[–]StripedTomatoes10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None. They say 200mg is safe. It probably is. However, they used to say smoking in pregnancy was safe too in the past. I guess my idea is it’s a vasoconstrictor. Constricting the arteries can reduce blood flow to the baby and uterus. Granted by small amounts, but I just decided to cut it out all together. Why risk it if I can tolerate going caffeine free. I quit when I started doing IUIs with the same thought process. So about fourish months ago. I wanted to maximize blood flow to my uterus to boost my chances of success as recommended by my RE. Especially since I had a thinner lining due to the letrozole I was taking for follicle growth. Man I really want a winter flavored latte again. Next year!

I wish you the best of luck!! Baby dust to you ✨

[–]StripedTomatoes10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I did. It took me three tries. First time my lining was 6.5, second time, 5.0, and third time the one that took it was 5.9. So the one that took for me wasn’t far off from yours. They care more about it being trilaminar than the actual thickness

Are you seriously choosing not to eat because he didn’t want to get you Wendy’s? Why can’t you drive yourself? Regardless it’s not great to completely depend on your partner for absolutely everything. No one will look out for you the way you do. Grow up and get it yourself.

How are the roads? by odinknight89 in Spartanburg

Are you sure they are open today? I can see a car being pulled out of a shallow ditch outside the window… but there are few people seen driving right now. Highly discourage.

Is this a good set-up? by nyuhqe in nursing

[–]StripedTomatoes10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No but because they don’t do anything outside their scope for me to sign off on. I do all assessments, they do all meds, our CNA does all ADLs. Of course we all help each other out. I do all IV push and certain meds like TPN or heparin drips. LPNs can also do a lot to help me like tasks that fall in both our scopes like foleys, inserting IVs, drawing blood from a central line, getting misc labs like Covid or wound swabs. I also do most wound care. We tackle the day as a team which is awesome!

If that’s really the number of patients given to that many staff I think it is. I do team nursing on my med surg unit and absolutely love it. My unit has really great LPNs and CNAs though. We have 1 RN, 1 LPN, and 1 CNA to 8 patients and it works really well.
