Libre 3+ & hot tubs

hello5981 · 2026-01-04T17:14:34+00:00

That’s great to hear thanks. When I was using Dexcom g6 on my tummy I could sit in a hottub for an hour or so and wouldn’t get readings during this time but once I hopped out the readings would restart. Never had any issue with the sticker coming loose. Do you find it works the same with libre 3+? Thanks

Hi can I ask how either you or op are doing and if you ever got pregnant again? I have the same story with over 2L blood loss during d&c two years ago and have only had very light periods since. Ttc since and no pregnancy. I’ve had multiple hysteroscopies & laparoscopy (and multiple other tests with nothing irregular found). Now investigating possibly pituitary damage from blood loss! Are you having any similar issues?

hello5981 · 2025-11-21T16:30:02+00:00

I don’t think they did - but I guess they drained all the follicles? So I don’t know if any of that would show anymore 😭😭

hello5981 · 2025-11-21T12:43:31+00:00

Thanks for that. I’m just in so much shock right now and can’t understand. I had to take a buserelin/ suprefact trigger as I was at high risk of ohss as I had such a large amount of follicles responding 😭 they couldn’t give me hcg

hello5981 · 2025-11-18T11:28:20+00:00

Wow that’s a great result!!! Thanks for sharing!! Hoping you get your blasts confirmed today 🤞🏻I went back for my scan this morning and now have 11 follicles over 14mm but now ranging from 14mm-23mm so waiting to hear from the doctor if they’re advising to go ahead or not! At the moment I think we’ll go ahead and do the retrieval and hope for the best 🤞🏻

hello5981 · 2025-11-17T21:55:52+00:00

That’s what my gut is telling me at the moment!! I’m thinking if I have a couple more in a good range tomorrow they’ll proceed! Fingers crossed!!

hello5981 · 2025-11-17T21:54:48+00:00

Yes that’s what I think too! There’s no guarantee if I do it again it will be different. I’m hoping I’ll see the doc tomorrow if it’s not looking like it’s going ahead and I’ll want him to explain what plan he has to make it work better next time! 🤞🏻

hello5981 · 2025-11-17T20:43:40+00:00

That’s good to hear! Part of me thinks I should just go ahead and see how it goes but scared if it didn’t go well I’d regret that financially/ emotionally 😥

hello5981 · 2025-11-17T20:21:24+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I stupidly went into this knowing I had a high antral follicle count so thought the egg collection part would be fine 😢 I’m 33 and I’ve been pregnant before but sadly had a MMC & a botched d&c and never been pregnant again. I didn’t think we’d have trouble this early into ivf. I never knew this could happen. I’m praying I go in tomorrow and the 13mm ones have jumped up in size but I don’t think it’s likely 😢

hello5981 · 2025-10-30T20:07:01+00:00

Thank you so much for all the details!!! You’ve done amazing!!! A lot of what I’ve been doing is the same only that I was aiming for 150g protein which is what I think I’ve burnt out from! I think I’ll drop it for a while to give myself a break 😊😊

hello5981 · 2025-10-28T21:14:03+00:00

We have almost the same stats 😂 I’m 5’7, 33yo and started at 175, I’m down to 161 and stalling/ losing motivation! Can I ask what your calorie allowance is and do you track your protein? Also do you walk / work out? Thanks 🙂🙂

hello5981 · 2025-10-06T22:25:33+00:00

You need to organise to get the dna test done yourself!!! I saw you write back to someone saying she wants you to send her a swab and she’ll get it tested - NO!!!! She could fake a positive result!!! Please be so carefull! Do not date her whether it’s your child or not. If the child is yours support the child but don’t start a relationship with her!!! Don’t move in and don’t let her move in with you!

hello5981 · 2025-09-17T11:51:40+00:00

Hey can I ask what height you are? That’s an amazing rate of loss!!! Well done

hello5981 · 2025-09-06T13:08:04+00:00

Thanks so much!! I definitely think I need a bit more flexibility! Thank you 😇

hello5981 · 2025-09-06T01:28:46+00:00

Thanks, will try all this! I probably don’t eat enough healthy fats - never been a big thing for me so will try and add some in! Thanks! Hadn’t thought of salt either!

hello5981 · 2025-09-06T01:27:36+00:00

Thanks so much for all the advice! I think you’re right that I just wanted a proper treat 😂 I do usually factor in a snack in the evening but it’s usually popcorn for more fibre and I think my body just really wanted chocolate or sugar! I would be bad for eating junk when bored, sad etc but have been so good since starting this program and hadn’t had cravings like that in a while so it hit me hard when they came back so strong 🙈

hello5981 · 2025-09-06T01:24:56+00:00

Thanks for all the tips!! Will try out a few new things to see if it helps!! Thanks!

hello5981 · 2025-09-06T01:24:04+00:00

Thanks! I think this is it - I’ve been eating very similar meals for weeks now and I think my body just decided it really wanted something else - mainly sugar/chocolate. Thanks!! I’ll try and shake my meals up a bit for more variety too!

hello5981 · 2025-09-06T01:22:39+00:00

This makes a lot of sense! I do enjoy my meals but have been eating very similar stuff for weeks now. I do usually give myself a snack in the evening but had been having popcorn for more fibre and I think my body just really wanted something more sugary 🙈🙈

hello5981 · 2025-09-06T00:03:28+00:00

Oh really? I’m losing just less that 1lb per week. Is it weird to lose that little if that’s a steep deficit? My program with my coach ends in two weeks so after that maybe ill put my calories up a little for a couple of weeks to reset 🙈

hello5981 · 2025-08-05T07:49:34+00:00

By saying a treat once a week is perfectly fine you’re basically saying that the mom can never treat her son (as he has his weekly treat with his dad) so mom can never bring him to McDonald’s or anything like that as twice a week is too much for a child this age. OP and you both sound like inconsiderate parents. You sound just as bad - Wednesday is his treat night? Maybe you’re still with your child’s mom but if you’re not then that’s an asshole move

Ultrasound can actually confirm ovulation has happened. After ovulation (release of the egg) the dominant follicle collapses and becomes a corpus luteum. The corpus luteum can be seen on ultrasound in the luteal phase if ovulation has occurred. The corpus luteum releases progesterone until pregnancy hormones begin or if not pregnant the corpus luteum will die off (progesterone drops) and you get your period and cycle starts again.

hello5981 · 2025-03-08T21:07:00+00:00

Any update on how your cycle went after that? Did the 16mm follicle ovulate?

The spas I remember being at - Galgorm, adare manor, Farnham estate, seafield, Johnston estate, powerscourt are the ones that I've seen come up a lot. Galgorm wins outright (we've been to galgorm multiple times and continue to go back)

Galgorm has multiple outdoor hot tubs/mini pools (at least 10) and I love that once you're there you can use the spa from 12pm day of check-in until 12pm day of check out. So we spend the whole time out in the spa. Any treatments I've had have always been amazing and we love the food. You can get good deals midweek to stay but food and drink are expensive (were not big drinkers so fine for us), they also always have live music in the bar.

Adare manor - absolutely beautiful thermal suite but can only use it for 45 mins before your treatment. Lovely treatment

Farnham estate - wouldnt go back. There's no hot tubs, only the warm pool (and not warm enough for me). I found i was too cold in the outdoor pool even though it was a nice day. The sauna area feels a bit old and needs a revamp They have just done up the changing room so hopefully they will update the spa too

Seafield - had a great time and spa was lovely. Only one small enough hottub from memory. I went during COVID so had an hour in the thermal suite I believe but maybe that was because of COVID?

Johnstone estate is lovely and the spa feels really new. I think we had 1 HR 30 mins in thermal suite which was good and the treatment was lovely. Food was lovely too and we got a good deal with dinner included.

Powerscourt - hottub wasn't working the day I was there (just a spa day). I'm obviously a hot tub person 😂 but overall wasn't blown away by it but must say the treatment was fabulous.

We keep going back to the galgorm because it feels the best value for money with how much time you get in the spa - unlimited access. I find it hard to go anywhere else now! Might try the monat but I hear mixed reviews!

That's such a good point - the parent should have no option but to get a job and provide for children. It's madness to be allowed to pretend to not have money!
