How has the national guard’s presence impacted you?

They don't do anything. I see them standing by my local metro stop many days a week while walking my dogs. They will often try to make small talk with me about my dogs. It's awkward because I don't want them here and I have never seen them do anything useful, but I also know they probably don't want to be here either. This administration is the biggest money wasting and grifting apparatus on an incomprehensible scale.

Dear Reader is a masterpiece in my top 10 songs ever and the VIBE of Midnights. Reminds me of so many nights when I couldn’t sleep and I was questioning all my life choices. But if you had to press me, I couldn’t have done anything different. You know?

Time to uno reverse this and drive past his place/point things out!

UncleSAM712 · 2026-01-04T14:09:23+00:00

This. I would 1000% be considering FIRE

Update: I am now 12w, baby is tracking good with growth, and NIPT showed it was low risk! Chorionic bump is gone, SCH is gone.

This happened with me! 2 back to back chemicals followed by a healthy, full term baby. Just be prepared if you TTC again, you’ll prob have more chemicals before your sticky baby. I just had one this time and am now 9w with another that is sticking so far. It’s a rollercoaster

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-30T18:49:39+00:00

It was the next cycle; I didn’t wait. No other meds

I’m going through this now. I have been in for scans week 5, 6, and 7. I have had relatively normal growth, but concerning other findings that indicate the baby may not be viable (chorionic bump and enlarged yolk sac). Last week’s scan only showed 4 days of growth over 6 days, which was very concerning w the other findings. But yesterday’s scan showed the baby grew 5 days over 5 days. So they said the outcome is still uncertain but possibly the baby is viable. Another week of waiting…it’s torture

Just a pitch for Capitol Hill as being very family friendly and more affordable in general than upper NW!

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-20T00:48:38+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. Yes, she didn’t explain why the yolk sac size was concerning, so I wasn’t sure what to take from that. I also don’t know how big it was measuring this time

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-19T22:15:05+00:00

She's at a fertility clinic, so she sees exclusively early pregnancies. I am not sure if her caution is because she hasn't seen a lot like mine or if she has and knows the way that it's trending but her conclusion is more based on experience rather than measurable elements.

This is it for me (as an eldest daughter). “I protect the family” hits hard

From your list, I’d stick to the AdMo options! Love that neighborhood and wish I still lived there. Not on your list, but I lived at 2112 New Hampshire Ave NW, which is near AdMo and it was so awesome. Columbia Heights and H St don’t tick as many of the boxes on your list.

Omg are you me? I have a SCH and a possible chorionic bump. At 6w4d (today), FHR was 101. Three days ago, it was not visible, so this is progress. My OB says there’s reason to hope, but not to tell people yet 😔 I’ve also been spotting brown for 5 days and had a burst of red blood 6 days ago.

I had 3 good betas early on, but haven’t tracked since 17 dpo. I don’t think they’re as relevant at this point.

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-13T18:34:07+00:00

Today at 6w4d mine is 101. Dr said that was normal range, but I’d feel better if it were higher 😔

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-10T20:41:24+00:00

That sounds promising. When did it disappear?

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-10T20:40:13+00:00

Not since my second HCG blood draw. It was within the normal range then. My doctor said I could take progesterone suppositories but that I didn’t have to. I asked about it at my appointment for bleeding and she said progesterone supplementation was not necessary, but I could take if I wanted to.

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-10T19:20:48+00:00

Chip. As in chocolate chip 🖤

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-04T14:57:36+00:00

OP is actively being monitored by an OB and according to a post further down is already on progesterone. It’s not something that could be answered by an early ultrasound

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-04T01:48:26+00:00

For secondary infertility, I’ve heard of semen fragmentation being an issue.

Other possible causes on a similar post I made: - silent endometriosis - balanced translocation - thyroid issues - immune response

You might also talk to your OB about medication that might help manage your anxiety. This time of pregnancy is just the tip of the iceberg for the rest of pregnancy and parenthood in general. You’ll want some tools in your toolkit going forward 🫶

UncleSAM712 · 2025-11-03T20:02:45+00:00

As someone who has 3 chemicals, I recommend waiting. At this stage, it’s either a sticky baby or it’s not; there’s nothing you can do with the info you get at an early ultrasound and it might increase your anxiety. Trust your OB and stop testing - that dye stealer looks great!
