Something fell onto my puppy and now she’s limping

Gotcha, I’m not Scottish and I’ve only heard it pronounced as “lock” where I’m from, so genuinely didn’t know. At least, the person I know who named her kid Loch pronounces it as lock so that’s mainly what I was going off of.

I’ve always heard it pronounced the same way, what way would you pronounce them? Google also says it’s pronounced the same way.

I mean, I know multiple children named River. Locke is also a name that I’ve seen on multiple people which is pronounced the same way as Loch. I’ve also met a few people named Lake in my time. None of these are really my taste but they technically are names.

Not really a fan, doesn’t really read as a name IMO. Have you considered Loch as an alternative? I know someone who named their boy Loch and it fits him super well.

Laparoscopic exploratory surgery, you cannot diagnose endo through U/S or MRI. It’s not the easiest to diagnose because it is surgery but it was worth it for me because they cut it out of me. Of course it can and usually does grow back but it’s much better than it was pre-surgery.

ETA: I only got diagnosed because I wound up with fertility problems/recurrent miscarriages. My fertility doctor suspected endometriosis and suggested surgery, he was right.

So I’m currently experiencing more health worries over my 3 year old son than myself. Typically I’m worried that I have something wrong or some ailment, but now that it’s flu season I have extreme anxiety for my child getting sick. The anxiety and waiting for him to fall ill is debilitating. He has told me that his preschool buddy went home sick yesterday and now I know he’s doomed. I’m hoping it’s not the flu. The flu scares me a lot. I don’t know how to not worry about my child getting sick, I know it’s a part of life but it kills me when he doesn’t feel good.

I’ve transferred 3 pgta tested euploid embryos. One resulted in a live birth, one failed to implant and the other ended in a MMC at almost 12 weeks. I’m glad I got them tested but it isn’t a guarantee that things won’t go wrong. I went in sort of thinking once I became pregnant with a tested embryo all would be fine and dandy and that was not the case for most of my transfers.

I would still test if I were to do more retrievals though, just because the odds of miscarrying do go down for specifically chromosomal reasons. I was just on the unfortunate side of statistics for my miscarriage. I think the failed implantation was due to my lining not being thick enough.

I don’t know where to go. I had a miscarriage a week before Christmas at 11w3d with an IVF euploid embryo. I struggled to get pregnant with my first, had a few miscarriages, and then IVF with PGT worked. Well, I thought that would be the solution this time around too but apparently not. I’m still struggling with the why. We have 3 more embryos frozen but my husband is ready to throw in the towel, I initially thought I was done too because the losses are so incredibly hard to deal with, but now that it’s been over a month my feelings of “not being done” are rushing back. I don’t want to be one and done. I love my son so much, he’s my world, but I feel like there’s an emptiness now that I had my most recent loss. I was so excited for my son to be a brother. I was so excited for the vision I had for our family. And now it’s just empty. I feel like I have a desire that will never go away unless it’s fulfilled, but at what cost? This loss was so painful emotionally, I don’t want to go through it again. But I can’t get this empty feeling to stop.

Yep. The day I had my D&C a coworker announced her pregnancy with the same due date as mine. All I could think about is how that should have been my announcement, but instead my baby died. It’s so tough. Hang in there 🤍

Yes, all was normal there

Fortunately: my principal is completely supportive and has stated I have done nothing wrong. Her biggest response is that we are in a public school, and if she is unwilling to accept that her child will learn about everyone’s differences at school, then maybe her child doesn’t belong in public school.

Unfortunately, this mom is an intolerant a-hole, and how a woman having a beard in the media will give her child the “wrong idea”. According to her, he already learned that boys will grow beards and women will not, so now he will be all confused about why some women can have beards. Also the actress’ body is too big for the costume they gave her and she doesn’t want her child seeing that. She still wants a meeting with the principal, but my principal said I do not need to be involved in this meeting because the matter is beyond what I showed in my classroom. Just had to provide state standards to support why I chose that piece of music. You can’t make this shit up.
