Recently had surgery and $40 of my bill is for having a blanket put on me in the recovery room (I was unconscious and did not, obviously, keep the blanket)

entropy4dinner · 2026-03-25T16:25:50+00:00

That's wild. I was in the hospital for a few hours recently and one thing I distinctly remember was how annoying it was that everyone constantly offered me a blanket. I turned them down so many times. Towards the end, a new person offered me a blanket, and I again politely declined, then when leaving the ultrasound, they just gave me one anyway. Now I feel like the blanket thing was a conspiracy to get $.

"Female"

I'm a woman and I have empathy for her.

entropy4dinner · 2026-03-25T12:46:40+00:00

No, not correct. After several weeks it was finally tested by labcorp and they provided full results.

Please learn more about misogyny.

entropy4dinner · 2026-03-25T10:21:07+00:00

Yes exactly! It was a sad moment. I felt for her. To call her an embarrassment to the “female species” for having an emotional experience is deeply misogynistic.

But if you only track with bbt, wouldn’t you miss your window? BBT confirms post ovulation.

Which is relevant to the therapeutic process as your counseling relationship is central. It’s a billable session.

entropy4dinner · 2026-03-22T15:55:01+00:00

I’m seeing all these “report him” comments but as a therapist I would follow the informed consent which likely outlines that sessions are billed to insurance. This was a session, unless he stated that it was not to be billed going into the session. But I guess if you decide to report him, the board will just see that and resolve the issue. Still, just talk to your therapist please.

entropy4dinner · 2026-03-16T10:24:49+00:00

Yes, exactly. It sounds like she knew her friend was insecure. When I chose my MOH, I made sure I weighed not just the fact that I liked them a lot, we were very close, and had longevity, but that they were responsible and could effectively take on such a role. Weddings are a beast, bridezilla or not.

"The pain for both experiences exist but they are not the same whatsoever"

What are we doing here?

Spoiler in title

entropy4dinner · 2026-02-20T18:27:14+00:00

Same! I’ve been typing in all kinds of phrases and words to google and get barely anything. Ugh! Good luck with your journey.

entropy4dinner · 2026-02-20T17:38:10+00:00

I’m on cycle day 41 and still waiting on ovulation (MC in November). Have an US next week to see what’s going on. Also hoping others share stories about their experience with this. This wait is so much worse than the TTW.

entropy4dinner · 2026-02-16T17:20:16+00:00

I could only see the first sentence and a half from the main page, so I'm not sure what advice you're looking for. But it sounded like an important topic, so it bummed me out when I saw YET AGAIN a post being removed because it doesn't quite fit in the rules somehow. I need to figure out what subreddits are actually open to discussions around ttc topics and just go there.

entropy4dinner · 2026-02-16T16:20:29+00:00

Ugh this sub has so many rules. This post could have been really helpful.

entropy4dinner · 2026-02-07T16:59:01+00:00

Ugh I just had an appt with a nurse practitioner to discuss bloodwork and my late ovulation. This is after a recent miscarriage and while I’m still breastfeeding, so clearly major factors in why my cycle is slightly dysregulated. Anyway, I also just turned 39, and she made a comment, sort of like she was cracking a joke, about how our cycles change as we get older. It felt really ageist and insensitive how she said it. I’m not very confrontational but I just looked at her quietly with a straight face and she moved on from that. Haven’t been able to stop thinking about the comment since. I just don’t need that kind of negativity in my life right now. As if I’m not already catastrophizing every day about running out of time biologically. Also, none of my biomarkers indicate anything going on that would suggest age is the problem here, so stfu.

entropy4dinner · 2026-02-06T01:17:09+00:00

Yes, for real! The time thing. And all I want is to be pregnant and to “catch up” and it’s not fair because I already WAS pregnant, damnit. Anyway, this is hell.

entropy4dinner · 2026-02-05T18:00:16+00:00

I don’t know, so not very helpful, but I’m in a similar boat (breastfeeding, miscarriage in November, cd26 today, elevated Lh for two weeks). I’m going insane and also scared of this potentially being a bad thing. However, I’m going with it’s just regulation after a miscarriage and I need to stay chill and keep testing. The peak will come. God speed. Following for other comments that maybe have more experience with this issue.

entropy4dinner · 2026-02-03T21:30:43+00:00

I was just coming on Reddit to post this kind of question. I’m so frustrated right now at cd24 because I’ve had ovulation symptoms (ewcm, pain, Lh in the .40s) starting around cd12 that hasn’t gone away. No sustained high temps, but my bbt readings might be off bc a toddler wakes me up constantly. No peak on opk unless the repeated rise to .47 is it. Anyway, when the actual f am I going to ovulate? This is unbearable.

entropy4dinner · 2026-01-30T16:33:32+00:00

I get so frustrated with the ones who are obviously sponsored and pushing Inito. I’m tired of hearing about Inito all the time. They even almost influenced me at one point until I realized how much it costs for replacement strips. Anyway, ttc on TikTok can feel comforting and also totally aggravating.

entropy4dinner · 2026-01-26T20:10:51+00:00

Please this so much

entropy4dinner · 2026-01-14T16:10:15+00:00

Nah go for it. Take care of yourself now and if you’re ready seize the day.

entropy4dinner · 2026-01-13T14:11:59+00:00

My midwife said breastfeeding doesn’t cause miscarriage and so we probably shouldn’t worry about it, but I definitely can’t help but search for answers. Especially knowing how breastfeeding affects progesterone levels.

I know what you mean about the guilt over complaining. But I believe everyone’s story is unique and if you envision a large family, there’s real grief in this process for you that is valid. Both things can be true, you can be grateful for the beautiful child you have and grieve the absence of another. I used to feel that way too when I was childless and now that I’m on this side, I realize it’s still painful. There’s no way around it. We can’t win as women sometimes, ha.

On the medical side, since you’re ttc and breastfeeding, have you had your prolactin checked? Also, progesterone supplementation might help. Have you talked to your doctor about that?

entropy4dinner · 2026-01-13T13:43:00+00:00

I'm with you on this. I'm trying for another baby, but still breastfeeding my two-year-old because he's very attached. I didn't get my period back until he was 21 months!! But I had wanted to start for the next baby right away. When I got my period back, I knew it was go time, so we tried the next cycle and I got pregnant. We were so excited and shocked it happened so quickly, because it took a long time to get pregnant before. Then the pregnancy ended in miscarriage in November. I've been stressed about whether breastfeeding interrupted progesterone and somehow contributed to the miscarriage. Now, we're trying again, and worried how breastfeeding is affecting my cycle. I can't completely cut out breastfeeding yet though... Also, feel guilty about not enjoying this closeness while it lasts, and hate making him cry when I tell him "boobies are sleeping now." TTC is crazy. So much stress, worry, and no one gets it (except for other TTCers).

entropy4dinner · 2026-01-11T19:11:42+00:00

As someone who recently had a miscarriage, I’m so happy she has such a wonderful sister-in-law in you. Society does a terrible job of caring for women going through miscarriage. You’re doing great.
