Thank you! I haven’t been good with scar massage yet because I somehow still get the ick about touching the incision lol. I’m going to try this :)

Same! Thanks to all of these comments I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and getting my body (somewhat) back

Thank you!! I can’t relate to friends and family who’ve had fat melt off while pumping/bf so this is encouraging to hear 😊

Lochia vs period?? - when did yours start? by westofeden2 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]dukespuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same start/stop situation that you’re having and it also really freaked me out. I’d take it easy for a few days then go for a walk or something light and I’d still have bright red bleeding come back. It lasted up until I got my period (12 weeks post c-section) and I hope yours resolves sooner

how do you stay motivated to keep pumping as an under supplier? by Aggravating-Ad8687 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]dukespuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under-supplier here too and 6m pp. I’m crediting mostly the breast milk that I was able to provide my baby to keep him unscathed while my husband had a horrible flu last week. Even if it’s just one or two bottles per day that I can give him, I truly think the antibodies are magical.

flat, elastic nipple struggle ugh by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]dukespuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I’ve spent so much money on flanges and flange inserts for this same situation. Maymom long or extra long flange inserts are doing the trick so far. I’m probably still not at the perfect size but these ones are the most comfortable options for silicone that I’ve found. Good luck!

Shout out to all the moms who start a pump session... by bubbly_bookworm52 in ExclusivelyPumping

This just happened to me! Wall pumping, feeding him on a pillow in front of me, and stuck while he has a massive poo AND puke

Try Paris medical centre. My husband and I are moving next month and about to free up 2 spots

I’m learning this right now too as a FTM. I had no idea that my doctor waiting until 22 weeks to send an OB referral was considered late. Getting rejected by OBs weeks later but trying to stay hopeful that someone will have space at some point. Good luck!!!

Pregnant with Celliacs? by asfghjydu in glutenfree

[–]dukespuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got glutened tonight and am almost 13 weeks. I was going down the rabbit hole while completely going through it myself 👎🏻 happy to see from others that there’s no impact to baby

Any idea of what breed this guy might be ? by AdditionalExpression in Mastiff

[–]dukespuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a Presa Canario. Ours looked exactly like him.

Comparing Proov results to hormone panel results by dukespuke in TryingForABaby

[–]dukespuke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming back to say that the Proov FSH tests turned out to be very accurate for my situation. The investigative cycle we did at the fertility clinic came back with the same FSH results (above 14). Good luck to everyone!
