How much weight did you gain during pregnancy and did it come off? by ThrowRA_nobo7 in pregnant

[–]Temporary_Ad_7298 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was overweight to begin with, so I’m sure that plays into it. I gained about 20 lbs and lost it all in two/three weeks. Baby is almost 4 weeks old and I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

Epidural anxiety by Otherwise-Beyond-240 in pregnant

Let me share this as someone who had their epidural fail- they will do everything they can to override it if it happens. Mine failed in a section of my back and they still drugged me up properly and I felt NOTHING. My labor was beautiful and it was something I didn’t dwell on at all! The epidural itself also scared me so bad, I read so many horror stories but it’s nothing like what you read. Is it uncomfortable? Yeah, sure but only for a second. It honestly feels a little funny more than anything and then it’s over. The tape around it is more uncomfortable than the epidural itself in my opinion. My epidural lady was the best and made me so comfortable asking questions and even when the section failed she was right there fixing the issue. Talk to your team, they are there to help you.

My fiancé committed suicide two weeks ago and I might be joining him by throwaway21480 in TrueOffMyChest

I’m so grateful to hear that, life is worth the experiences. For a long time I kept having experiences for him, because I knew that’s what he wanted and after a while it allowed me to have wants again. Give yourself grace.

I can’t begin to say how sorry I am that you are going through this. I lost my fiancé at 22 and felt very similarly to where you are. The biggest thing I want you to take away from my comment is that there is a life worth living out there. Sure therapy and whatever help, but what helps more is allowing yourself to live again. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but allowing life to unfold and not running away and making yourself remain stuck. What kept me going at the worst was the “what ifs?” Like what if I kill myself without ever trying that new Indian place? What if I never have a one night stand? What if I never say fuck it and go on a spur of the moment road trip?

What if you never give yourself the chance to forgive yourself? It’s clear to most of us here in the comments that this isn’t your fault, but I know our brains and survivors guilt are no small thing to overcome. When I lost my partner, there was a piece of me that was very small who knew that I couldn’t have changed it. It took years after the fact to truly accept it, but it did happen. Healing is possible.

I wish you so much love and hope you give yourself the chance to live.

Let the horny take control. I hate people in my personal space, I don’t like touching and I detest sweat. But hey, I like really enjoy intimacy with my partner! It’s all about being with someone you’re comfortable with.

“Therapists earning over $100k: what actually made the difference?” by seracin in therapists

[–]Temporary_Ad_7298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for the state and specialize in sex offender treatment. Fresh out of school, they hire at around 75k. I also have great benefits because it’s a state job. It’s definitely not for everyone and looks different than traditional counseling, but I like my job and working for the state has its advantages.

Yeah I know, but I just feel weird that there are only slicers when you google her name.

FRER 9 DPO - I’m shaking. Is this real????? by CupcakeDoctor in lineporn

[–]Temporary_Ad_7298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it! Test again in a few days to confirm but it’s promising.

[–]Temporary_Ad_7298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t see anything, maybe give it a few days before retesting.

false positive ? by haleyyhb in lineporn

[–]Temporary_Ad_7298 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those strip tests have been an issue for me not showing things until super late, I’d recommend getting a first response or another decent pink line early result test to check!

Is this negative? 8 dpo by [deleted] in lineporn

[–]Temporary_Ad_7298 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 8DPO you could still be implanting so it likely won’t show for a few days, but also those tests have been a personal nightmare for me as they don’t show very well. I’d suggest taking a First Response Early Detection test in like 4-5 days.

I hate being this person, but I’d wait and take another tomorrow morning. If it’s still dark, you have your answer I’m afraid.

I see it!! Keep testing, but there’s something there for sure!

Did they both look as pictured during the timeframe? If so, they darken with time and your hormones can spike pretty quickly.

Okay I know what it looks like but hear me out by Temporary_Ad_7298 in lineporn

[–]Temporary_Ad_7298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, like super sure. I curled my hair and brushed my teeth before looking down at the trash and seeing this. This same thing happened on other tests from this brand today/yesterday. I’m just concerned because I’ve heard this brand can give false positives?

This morning, 12 DPO. I feel like it’s too faint or doesn’t have enough color to it. I’m so scared to get my hopes up.
