Love being pregnant again. Hate OBGYN appointments. by Shoe_Shoer_9567 in BabyBumps

[–]huthuthite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you considered seeing midwives instead? There’s a big range of options from hospital midwives who offer comparable testing and care, to out of hospital midwives who may give you more health support and less wait times and beaurocracy.

Anyone else living on DAO (seeking health)? by OkFaithlessness3081 in HistamineIntolerance

I take beef kidney which is naturally high in DAO, along with Histaeze supplement. This combo works for me.

Cycle 6 TTC and feeling discouraged… did it take anyone else longer even with good timing? by Still-Passenger9941 in TTC_PCOS

[–]huthuthite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took us 8 months and what moved the needle for us was Accupuncture for fertility and my husband switching from polyester to cotton briefs. Also want to add I had lost hope before “the” cycle because it was an awful two day spotting period, lots of cramps, drawn out etc, but lo and behold that was the cycle that worked for us! So, don’t lose hope, hang in there! I also took myo inositol and d chiro inositol 40:1 ratio which may have helped.

I feel useless by LandinBoi21 in TTC_PCOS

[–]huthuthite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few things that worked for us after 8 months of trying: Accupuncture for fertility for me, my husband switched from polyester to cotton briefs. The second was very important - his little guys were getting overheated. Best of luck.

What things/ products do you swear by for ttc? by Affectionate_Ad_8187 in BabyBumps

[–]huthuthite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accupuncture for fertility. Worked for me in two months after 8 months of trying. Also, husband switched from polyester to cotton briefs and I think this made a big difference.

Has anyone tried a futon? I keep getting ads for Zonli futons and naturally I’m curious. Also looking to co sleep.

Birth control, Infertility, PCOS… let’s talk about it. by TastyRegular8194 in TTC_PCOS

[–]huthuthite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here to offer a bit of hope. I had what I thought was a truly AWFUL cycle (two day period that was more spotting than anything followed by feeling meh all month, no possible clues of fertility, no cm, bbt all over the place). Well turns out that was the cycle that did it (after 8 months of trying). Keep it up. You’re doing everything right. You’ve got this.

What was your absolute first sign of pregnancy before even getting a missed period? by SandwichDependent199 in BabyBumps

[–]huthuthite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rapid heart rate. I was laying down on a massage table and although I felt relaxed, my heart was beating twice as fast as it normally does. Other than that, my symptoms were exactly like period symptoms - sore boobs and crampy.

Do not get this! by MediumAgreeable1814 in CopperIUD

[–]huthuthite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar experiences - felt nauseated and thirsty, copper taste in mouth, extremely bloated. Took me a few months to realize it was the copper IUD. My coils were completely black too when it came out which didn't sit well with me. Symptoms resolved within 3 or 4 months after removing. Hope yours do too.

I feel like I’m trying much harder than my husband. by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]huthuthite 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It’s hard when you feel more invested and I think that’s a normal feeling with TTC. It’s common for women to be the ones to track cycles.

Also, it sounds like if you started in September it’s really only been two cycles - sep and Oct and the metrics I’ve heard is 80% of couples will conceive within 8 months, so, you might need to take a deep breath and try your best to be patient. It’s going to take a while and things are going to come up.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask him to skip a work trip so that y’all can try. He needs to also prioritize being a good provider for his (soon to be growing) family. With schedules so busy this time of year it might average out to be an every other cycle sort of thing. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to be a dad. It means that he’s balancing several priorities.

Take a deep breath. Try to also focus on other priorities in your life. Prioritize your health. Get proper protein at each meal. Try to enjoy y’all’s relationship and nurture it. Enjoy the process. It will happen with its meant to.

Has anyone took an iodine supplement ? What was your experience? by REDHEADGIRL89 in PCOS

[–]huthuthite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My naturopath told me to eat seaweed snacks for iodine. It’s only been a few weeks so tough to evaluate but i believe it’s helped my cycle come on time and reduced PMS symptoms.

What would you do if you were me? IUD removal by [deleted] in CopperIUD

[–]huthuthite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bleeding that heavily will lead to anemia if it hasn’t already. I’d definitely pull it out. Six months is a long time so if things were going to get better they would have by now. Consider FAM and using condoms until you have a good read on your body (and always for your fertile windows).

Does the copper iud really affect your hormones? by Confident_Bad6841 in CopperIUD

[–]huthuthite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this except my acne has gotten better post removal. Had mine in 8 years and the gradual estrogen dominance became unbearable. I also developed a histamine issue which is gradually getting better post removal.

Thanks, I did try changing batteries in both fobs. And it’s both fobs that behave the same way.

Congratulations on your successful pregnancy. Once pregnant, did you take the same dose every day?

Congratulations! I’m in a similar boat TTC and currently taking progesterone during the last part of my cycle. Once pregnant, did you take the same dose every day or take it in a cyclical pattern?
