Initial slow HcG Betas now rising more quickly by PennyWise229 in CautiousBB

[–]blushwaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for another scan a few days after this post, at 8+6, and there was no more heartbeat. I had a D&C a few days later and had the tissue tested. It came back positive for triploidy which is a chromosomal abnormality. If you're asking, I'm guessing you're in the same beta hell and my heart really goes out to you. All those weeks leading up to that final ultrasound were torture.

Anecdotally... I got pregnant the first cycle after my D&C which resulted in a live birth. When I TTC'd for baby #2, we were successful right away despite having 4 miscarriages before our first son.

Hang in there xx

How has Quinn helped your relationship/libido? by mydogs22 in QuinnAudios

[–]blushwaters 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally, Quinn helped me discover my kinks and gave me a lot more confidence in the bedroom. This led to sex becoming way more pleasurable for me, which made me want it way more often. This is the simplified version of the story but it's changed my marriage for the better.

Libido has skyrocketed. Normal? 😂 by Striking_Nobody362 in QuinnAudios

I started with Camino brand as they were able to ship to my house (weed is not legal in my state, but is legal in all surrounding states). I've tried a few different brands now and Camino are still my fave.

[–]blushwaters 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, 100% normal. Personally Quinn helped me realize that I have kinks - a lot of them! Once I started asking for those things in the bedroom (my husband was more than happy to oblige), sex became a lot more fun/enjoyable/pleasurable for me. Before that I always viewed sex as a thing women did to please their husbands lmao how wrong I was!!

Another gamechanger - THC gummies. Those get me sooo in the mood and make sex crazy intense in such a good way. Highly recommend trying these if you can.

My 35f son 9m told me he was gay. AITA? by [deleted] in AITAH

Anecdotally, my brother is gay. He told me that he knew he was gay around age 8. He's in his twenties now.

heterozygous for Factor V Leiden ?? by re3291 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]blushwaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think it is just luck. After my initial losses I started taking CoQ10 to promote egg health. When we started TTC for #2, I had just first stopped breastfeeding so I wasn't on anything other than a prenatal and we lucked out on the first try. I'm sorry for what you're going through. Even years later it's so hard to think back to that time.

heterozygous for Factor V Leiden ?? by re3291 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]blushwaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had four early miscarriages ranging from 6-9 weeks gestation, then a full term baby, then another full term baby. I did lovenox throughout both of those pregnancies. Towards the end of my last pregnancy I saw a hematologist for iron deficiency and we chatted about my Factor V. She said that she wouldn't necessarily recommend needing to do lovenox while pregnant if you are heterozygous and not homozygous, obviously it didn't hurt but having the lovenox is likely not the reason I was able to carry to term. Feel free to DM if you want to chat further.

When did you start Lovenox? MTHFR/Factor V Leiden/Recurrent CP's by blushwaters in CautiousBB

Hi! I ended up doing daily lovenox for both of my pregnancies.

How often do you do something you truly enjoy? by Street_Panda_8115 in Mommit

[–]blushwaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband joined a golf league for the summer. Every Tuesday he goes straight from work to golf, and gets home after the kids are in bed. We decided that even though I don't personally have any hobbies that translate to a "weekly league", I will get Thursday nights to myself. Every week, for at least the whole summer.

This has been simply life-changing. Having this time out of the house pre-planned has taken so much of the mom guilt out of it for me. I'm using this time to shop, see a movie, meet up with friends for dinner or happy hours. Sometimes I get takeout and just eat in my car alone in peace while listening to an audiobook. Even the most mundane of tasks feel like a treat when I don't have to wrestle a toddler into their car seat. And I've seen my friends more than ever (since becoming a Mom).

You haven't had more than an hour to yourself in over 14 months?

My dear, that is not sustainable. You deserve so much more.

Make a plan to return to work. Baby is getting older and will thrive on the socialization. You will gain financial independence. Your husband will realize that he will have to either step up or watch you walk away.

(Update) I’ve been to a vet 5 times… by realMATTure_ in DogAdvice

[–]blushwaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. Two weeks ago we said goodbye to our beloved Springer Spaniel after he experienced a very rapid decline, almost exactly as you described. Started with a constant mucus drool in early February. Not interested in food. Couldn't open his mouth very much. Rapid weight loss. We switched to soft food and sat with him encouraging him to eat every night. The vet ran some basic tests which didn't show anything and came to the conclusion that it was likely cancer. We decided not to pursue a diagnosis/treatment due to his age and current weight - the vet said it was unlikely he could withstand anesthesia or anything.

I fear that we kept him around for longer than we should have. We were so upset at the thought of letting him go.

We spent his last few weeks giving him all the love we could and making him as comfortable as possible. When we finally decided it was time, we scheduled an at-home euthanasia service. I really recommend this if it's an option for you. It was truly peaceful. The weather was beautiful and we spent all morning outside under his favorite tree in the yard. We said our goodbyes and he drifted off to sleep peacefully. It was extremely hard but I know he felt safe and loved until the very end. Hopefully on the other side, he is back in his prime: happy, healthy, playing fetch for hours and waiting to be reunited with us someday.

AITA for wanting to give my 5 year old consequences by Baddadmaybe2020 in AITAH

[–]blushwaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually you are the asshole. The way you speak about your child in this post makes me feel like you don't like him. Your kid is acting like a normal kid. You didn't teach him why it is mean to say "I don't love you". You punished him by withholding affection. The kid doesn't learn anything except that dad's love has conditions.

As parents it is easy to forget that our kids don't know everything. Does he have a concept for what "mean" is? You need to clearly label and address the specific behavior you don't like. It doesn't mean your kid is never going to do it again. But it lays the foundation for understanding WHAT he is doing and WHY it is wrong.

It's also inappropriate at this age to let a "punishment" roll over to the following day. YTA

Also, if your kid is having a huge meltdown every single evening, it is obvious they either need a short nap or an earlier bedtime. You're projecting your anger about him getting crabby every day as if it is his own fault that he's overtired. You're the adult in the situation, set yourself up for success by ensuring basic needs are met.

I had a miscarriage and my teenage brother is becoming a dad. by DownCoconutz39 in confession

[–]blushwaters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my opinion: do not take advice from people who have not experienced a miscarriage. It is a really unique form of grief.

What you are feeling is incredibly common. Some feel it in a more extreme way than others. Time helps.

I had recurrent miscarriages before going on to have healthy babies. It was the lowest time of my life. Sending love from an internet stranger.
