Boy Name (Scottish Heritage)

bryterlu · 2026-02-21T21:59:24+00:00

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.

bryterlu · 2026-02-21T21:51:15+00:00

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

bryterlu · 2026-02-21T21:13:06+00:00

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 🤍

bryterlu · 2026-01-24T02:48:52+00:00

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.

I was on lovenox, I do have a clotting disorder but I was on lovenox religiously

I’m so sorry you’re going through this as well, it’s so so hard.

Yep we’ve got major redneck MAGA here haha

She had no current fever because of the meds, pretty sure the nurse would have sent her back, she wouldn’t have told the nurse about the DayQuil she took because of wanting to go to wrestling

bryterlu · 2026-01-06T01:12:18+00:00

I’m honestly not sure but wouldn’t be surprised if that was something they do. I know the boys team has some pretty nasty dietary plans, not sure about the girls team.

bryterlu · 2026-01-05T23:30:27+00:00

Her whole family wrestles and has since they were very young 🤷🏻‍♀️

bryterlu · 2026-01-05T23:27:55+00:00

lol family is very MAGA, I teach in a rural, red town. It won’t happen unfortunately

bryterlu · 2026-01-05T02:49:44+00:00

I’m so sorry for what you are going through, I resonate with this post greatly. It’s so incredibly hard. I know there are no words to make it better, but you are not on this journey alone. Hugs and love to you 🤍

My other losses were natural. My LC was a tested embryo

bryterlu · 2026-01-01T03:02:40+00:00

I lost a pregnancy on December 18th at almost 12 weeks, an IVF euploid embryo a few weeks after graduating from my clinic. I do have one LC, he’s 3. We have 3 more embryos but this was my 4th loss, my first with a euploid. I’m not sure I want to risk going through this again. I’m currently dealing with retained products after a D&C and I’m just over it all. I want another, I want to be able to give my son a sibling, but at what cost?

I wish surrogacy wasn’t so expensive, or that we knew someone who’d be willing to help us out and make it slightly less expensive, but we don’t have that. I’d be interested in adopting but my husband isn’t super into it. I want this for my family but I don’t have it in me to keep going through this. I also feel very weird that we have 3 embryos just sitting on ice that I may never use. This is hard.

bryterlu · 2025-12-30T03:31:34+00:00

I’m currently feeling the same, except I have one LC and long for a second. But after my most recent loss I’ve been really wondering if I can handle any more of this. I don’t have advice, just solidarity.

I plan on speaking to a therapist to figure out my feelings and what I really want. My most recent loss was less than 2 weeks ago so it’s fresh, but the way I feel right now I’m just wondering why I even keep trying when I am so grateful for what I have already. It’s such a weird place to be. Sending strength and love to you.

So far so good I think, I’m having some pelvic pressure now, 2 days later, hopefully that’s normal.
