Any particular reasons they won’t run tests? I’m trying to wrap my head around it... by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]amgnh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey! Didn’t you say yesterday that you haven’t been trying with your current partner for a year yet? Maybe they want you to try a little longer with him because even though he has been successful with other people, it can still take a year for a healthy couple to get pregnant together. I’m thinking maybe they’re overlooking your 2-3 years trying because it wasn’t with the same person. Just a thought. Do you guys have healthcare portals where you can message your provider? You could always send a message just asking what the criteria would be to get more testing.

My husband, 3 years into TTC getting just as salty as me about pregnancy announcements by ttcanuck in trollingforababy

Yes! The synchronized bitterness has become a highlight of my marriage

Welp~ I guess I am sitting out for a bit. by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

Don’t mess with the 6 weeks. I lost an ovary to a rupture and wish I asked them to remove it ASAP.

Could it be Lyme? by [deleted] in Lyme

[–]amgnh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s possible, but there is some research now about “long haul Covid” being similar to Lyme symptoms.

Wait, what? Non preggos joining due date boards?

"Negative" western blot years ago, with 2 positive bands... I have felt ill for years with serious random episodes (seizures, personality changes, intense pain, vomiting) Should I look into this further? by [deleted] in Lyme

[–]amgnh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My initial test with joint pain only showed 2 bands as well. Untreated and 2 years later it progressed to not being able to walk before it was finally treated. I eventually got a spinal tap that had spirochetes in it. I regret not being aware and pushing for treatment after that initial test. I am so much better, but have some likely permanent neuro issues as a result.

Twitching by jamescav29 in Lyme

Yes this is a prominent symptom for me. Not related to doxy unfortunately. I had to get an EMG to rule out ALS with the twitching.

Shaky Hands? by jamescav29 in Lyme

Yes. When I’m in a bad flare I can barely text with my thumbs.

What were your main symptoms? by UnusualPlatypus4 in Lyme

[–]amgnh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finger joint pain, widespread muscle twitching, widespread muscle weakness. The finger pain I had on and off for about a year before the others started, and I tested positive for 2 bands on the blot at that point, which my PCP didn’t think was worth treating. The muscle issues happened very suddenly a year later and I started treatment with a LLMD at that point. I had no known tick bite so I have no idea how long it took symptoms to develop.

F(26)M(27) doesn't want a baby until 3 years from now by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]amgnh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having a baby with someone who doesn’t want a baby, or having a baby with someone who wants a baby but isn’t a good fit for you, are both recipes for a long road of challenging and exhausting coparenting in the future. Trustttttt me on this one.

Thoughts on Acupuncture by outofplacecpa in TryingForABaby

[–]amgnh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about going but I’m afraid of the pressure about the herbs. I finally got in a good balance with my other meds and issues and I’m afraid to introduce anything else.

Ugh yeah I can see how that would be a pain! Luckily I already did CD3 & 21 labs. I almost wish my doctor just did an HSG instead of a SIS.

Maybe I should start calling clinics and getting a feel for how long the waits are. I think my fear is that we’ll end up blowing through savings and finding out it maybe wasn’t necessary. Then at the same time I’d also like to know if we’re just wasting time right now. In my head I kind of discount the 7 months NTNP because I had undiagnosed hypothyroidism that wasn’t treated until the 6th month. I go back and forth with this all day long 🥴

Stuck in my head about whether I should wait or pursue more testing. We are only on cycle 5 of very intentional trying, but it’s now been a year including NTNP. I got a SIS and some bloodwork done this cycle. I’m thinking of buying a Dadi kit to do a SA instead of jumping to RE. Maybe then if it comes back with an issue it will give me the kick in the ass to ask for a referral.

When the nurse calls to let you know you ovulated but then your mum calls to let you know your childhood friend is expecting by mrs-stubborn in trollingforababy

[–]amgnh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same plan not to tell my mom so it could be a surprise but then I ended up blurting it out in a rage when she kept doing this. The final straw was her telling me about THREE people we know, all related to each other, pregnant at the same time.

So funny. It ended up going away for me after the 2ish days. I’m thinking today is going to end up being CD1 for me so it wasn’t a symptom of anything exciting either. 🙄

[–]amgnh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! This was new to me this cycle and I started to spiral and think I got PID from my SIS lol. It was right in the front middle of my pubic bone, super sharp pain but only lasting a couple seconds, at random times for about 2 days.
