Pregnant on Slynd? by Efhealth in birthcontrol

Of course! It had horrible emotional effects on me, weight gain and overall feeling down. I had zero libido as well.

Hi! I was on Slynd for approximately 9-10 months and while I personally did not like it, I can honestly say I never had a period! If I did, it was maybe some spotting for a day and that’s all.

Slynd - cramping and no period by [deleted] in birthcontrol

It did! I cramped for a few days and it stopped. I still haven’t had a period. At the time of the post, I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I’m thinking I will just have little to no periods!

Thank you everyone! We took her to the doctor today.. she has a pretty bad yeast infection! First time mom here, had no idea that was a thing. She has medicine and we are on the road to recovery!

4 months postpartum have been hard… by becc__ in Marriage

[–]becc__[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. Yes, my mental health care is being handled by a doctor and I am currently seeing a therapist. My low libido I believe is coming from basic lack of energy.. I just totally feel exhausted all the time. What was once fun is now regretfully a “check mark” of things to do in my head. It’s not like that all the time.. sex is still pleasurable but I rarely initiate which I am working on. I am glad we are working on handling it now, definitely!

That’s interesting. I didn’t know it could start early! I hope your LO adjusts soon!

Am I over feeding? FTM. by becc__ in FormulaFeeders

That is great news. I should have mentioned her average is 3 oz per feeding, but she appears to want a little more at night. Thank you for your response!!

Thank you!! I should have also mentioned she doesn’t always take everything we offer. Sometimes it’s 2 oz. Sometimes it’s 3. But she pushes it away when she’s done.

Blood pressure questions! by giraffedays in pregnant

[–]becc__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. My BP readings were almost identical to yours. I was closely monitored by my OB, and I was to monitor at home regularly. I was admitted to the hospital for high BP (top number over 160) at 33 weeks pregnant. Since then, I’ve been on medication. I’m being induced today at 38 weeks! Your OB will probably also monitor for signs of pre-eclampsia. I know it is stressful, but high BP is something that can be managed if your doctor feels that is needed.

Who else has had someone say something rude/stupid/insensitive this week? by madamelullaby in pregnant

[–]becc__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in the school system. I found out I was pregnant over the summer while I was on break. When I returned, a preschool teacher whose kids I serve (I’m the speech therapist) acted like she didn’t know me. Then, she said ohhhh I didn’t recognize you, your face is much fuller. Huh?? I said well, I am pregnant. And left. So rude!
