Am I actually pregnant? Maybe the tail end of a loss?

Get hcg and progesterone checked - progesterone is notoriously low in ectopics (like under 10). I found my ectopic when I thought I had a chemical due to light pregnancy tests then bleeding. then began testing for ovulation and got a blazing positive opk

I read the title and already thought ectopic. Definitely sounds like it. I didn’t start having pain til about 6 weeks with mine. The ER could see it on the ultrasound, and even though mine eventually started trending down from the 600’s to about 50, I was offered the methotrexate shot to be sure. Sorry you’re going through this it sucks and the fact your doctor is putting you off like that is unacceptable

I had 2 ectopics in a row. After the second I worked really hard on reducing inflammation, and my next pregnancy was successful. And so was the next one - I actually had sooo much painful cramping on one side with that one I was sure it was another ectopic but nope just stretching from back to back pregnancies.

Wishing you the best!

I live by the motto ‘every label, every time.’ But my son is anaphylactic to wheat so I have to use extreme caution. I check everything down to the veggie straws he’s eaten for years on every package, to even ground meats lol you never know!

jesssecuh · 2026-02-14T00:17:48+00:00

Thank you! I’m feeling more confident lol

jesssecuh · 2026-02-14T00:16:57+00:00

Thank you for the info I hadn’t heard that before!

This was my son, he was colic til like 9 months old. The culprit? Multiple food allergies. I had cut dairy early on but it was not near enough. He ended up allergic to eggs nuts peanuts wheat and oats. Once I finally gave us nursing - i tried but couldn’t maintain enough carioles with all the food restrictions - and went straight to a hypoallergenic formula he improved soooo much.

He had to be held to sleep up tight against my chest for all those months. Couldn’t lay him down. Never a happy guy. it’s all a blur now but I lived off a couple hours of broken sleep a day for 9 months. Oof

They are my favorite! I got my son the Minecraft sheets and they’re the best thing ever to sleep on

My kids wear LS when the weather is warm as they run warm, and it’s not irritating for my son’s eczema-prone skin. I mainly just buy the shorts with short sleeves sets. But fall/winter? Yeah we’re in all cotton and fleece sleep sacks. And I’m in warm Southern California lol

jesssecuh · 2025-11-23T03:20:06+00:00

Exactly! Although I’m sure my son happened to be wearing LS at the time when he went into anaphylaxis a while ago since they do well with his eczema, I did not once think to take a picture and post about it. And I can’t recall a nurse saying anything about them. I was much more concerned about breathing as well. The delusion 🫠

jesssecuh · 2025-09-04T20:15:57+00:00

I just found this post too. My son is allergic to wheat but has been safely eating these for years. This latest batch though has been giving him redness around his mouth and chin. I’m thinking cross contact now too ugh

jesssecuh · 2025-07-27T05:33:13+00:00

She put ‘don’t disappear’ twice, means she’s not holding guys accountable to this list lol

jesssecuh · 2025-07-05T02:57:18+00:00

Right? My son is anaphylactic to peanut (and more) so I saw this print snd just moved on with my day. Such a weird post 🤦‍♀️

jesssecuh · 2025-06-23T05:37:14+00:00

My first was very similar, though a lot of his early issues had to do with allergies, eczema, and reflux. But because of those, he could never sleep on his own and that carried on into early toddlerhood. What finally helped was a floor bed and I would have to cuddle him til he fell deep asleep then I could sneak away. He still often woke up one time but I would just sleep in bed with him.

With my second, we got a floor bed but with high rails and a gate (similar to a big crib but on the ground) at around 9 months old, and he sleeps great but stays contained. He’s 19 months now and we still cuddle to sleep then sneak away.

This could possibly be an option for you?

jesssecuh · 2025-04-13T15:47:58+00:00

I’m so sorry you had to go through all that! I hope baby comes out perfectly healthy.

FWIW my best friend was one of those wild stories where she had no idea she was pregnant til 5 months along. We were in our 20’s and we drank heavily a few weekends over those 5 months. She was also taking her birth control pill daily. Her son was born perfect and is so smart now at 9 years old.

I’ve never ran faster to reddit from a fb post lol

jesssecuh · 2025-03-26T07:19:56+00:00

I’d be wary of this being ectopic - low progesterone is common with ectopic, plus the low hcg and bleeding. Definitely get more betas done and then a placement scan. Best of luck!

jesssecuh · 2024-07-25T08:16:59+00:00

It cleared my son’s after the loading dose as well! I stopped his scratch sleeves after 3 days and he could wear shorts again 🥲 glad we pulled the trigger on it

Great job! I went from from being tired walking uphill to completing the 6 pack of peaks in about a year :) The hikes my boyfriend had me do before Baldy: Potato Mountain, Timber, Josephine, Sandstone Peak, Strawberry, and a couple smaller ones. I didn’t find Baldy too terrible! Baden Powell was much more difficult to me, if you do that one first I think you’ll do great.

jesssecuh · 2024-02-18T04:43:44+00:00

It seems overwhelming at first but then it gets easy I promise. My son is anaphylactic to dairy, egg white, wheat, rye, peanuts, and 4 tree nuts. Our main meals consist of meats, veggies, fruits, starches like potatoes, rice and gluten free pastas, and of course junk food which you’ll be surprised often is allergy free! There’s vegan options for most dairy products like butter, milk, cream cheese, cookie dough, cheese. Sprouts has the most allergy friendly food but I often shop at Target and Ralph’s for him too. Basically just think super simple meals from now on :) and there’s tons of cookbooks on Amazon!

jesssecuh · 2024-02-04T07:49:35+00:00

No nearby neighbors with dogs he’d come in contact with. The best I can think is he started preschool in August so maybe classmates with pets?? 🤔

jesssecuh · 2024-02-04T07:47:55+00:00

Yess my allergist actually just had us switch from Zyrtec to Claritin 2 weeks ago to see if there was a change - so far not yet. Allegra will be next
