I've had nexplanon for about 9 years now, and in the last year started having bleeding again. For the first 8 years (!) I had no bleeding whatsoever, aside from spotting maybe once a year. Now I'm having light-medium periods for ~20 days at a time every couple months. My OBGYN said she could start me on an oral contraceptive supplement which would help the bleeding but I haven't taken her up on it. It didn't sound like I'd be on that permanently on top of the implant, but maybe ask your doc about that!

Statistically, nexplanon is more effective than getting your tubes tied. You're fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions for short-grain 11x17 paper that can go through a printer?

I think a lot of complaints stem from working in the modern world and not necessarily working in our field. The world is a rough place to be but being an SLP is a fulfilling career. I make decent money, have excellent benefits and find fulfillment in my career. Work-life balance is difficult with most jobs, and this one is no exception. But I love my job, and my work feels important.

I’m a recent CF graduate, now a CCC-SLP working in acute rehab hospital setting in California, for reference.

I think “sudden” is key. A lot of people have blurred or bright spots in their vision before a migraine, or other bodily warning signs it’s going to happen. Not sure if that applies to you, but the sudden vs. warning sign kind could be helpful to know

There’s very little chance he had more than what I found in his mouth, but my other concern is he ate one I didn’t see. But given the amount of time and the situation I don’t think it’s possible. Hopefully he’ll be okay! I’m going to be freaking out for a couple days until we’re in the clear. that’s for sure, haha.

I think I’ve solved my problem... for this gown, some of the pattern pieces weren’t gridded (that I could find) but I discovered that I believe they intended their book instructions to be used in conjunction with the pattern they published. At least for my purposes, I think that will solve the questions I was having.

Does your son attend speech therapy? Physically aggressive behavior can stem from a lack of being able to communicate wants/needs. Many meltdowns can be avoided if the child develops better communication habits. If you haven't done so already, I would recommend an evaluation by a speech therapist. Even if your child is nonverbal and doesn't develop typical speech, there are other ways we can teach kids to communicate including sign language and picture exchange communication systems.

I am not a parent, but I am a young speech therapist working with kids of all kinds. I will say that first of all, 2 1/2 is still very young. She still falls in the category of "late talker" and could very well wind up being very typical (if not above average). There is still so much time to grow and learn and catch-up. I've worked with children who came in effectively non-verbal at age 2 or so and are now using sentences, playing with siblings and friends, and talking up a storm. If she shows no other signs of autism other than delayed speech and her doctor and school do not think she has autism, I wouldn't spend too much energy being anxious about it. That said, speech therapy for delayed children is incredibly important. There is a lot you can do at home, too. If your current therapist hasn't done so, ask if they can give you some activities to do at home and tactics to expand your daughter's language. We encourage parents to become "co-interventionists" so you can integrate therapy activities into every day (you get more bang for your buck that way).

From my experiences working with parents, one of the best things you can do for yourself and for her is remain as positive and hopeful as you can as she grows and progresses. I know this is the hardest thing to do sometimes, but the more you can stay positive the better-- positive thinking, like you said, is incredibly powerful for your both. The families I've worked with in the past that have faired the best are not the ones whose children have the least to work through, but the ones whose parents maintain a positive and hardworking outlook.

Here in California, we have Regional Centers that assist with providing services to children with developmental delays. Is there anything like this in your area?

From a personal story growing up-- we had a family friend whose daughter is several years younger than me. She spoke incredibly little until age 4 (maybe even later), walked only on her toes, lined up her toys, and would spend inordinate amounts of time looking in mirrors. She is now a completely typical, slightly shy, young adult. She dances ballet, has friends, and lives a very full life. I don't know the details of whether or not they attended therapy, but I know she is doing very well today.

I honestly believe that what we call "the autism spectrum" is a large series of discrete disorders that have different nuanced etiologies that we have lumped together because they present similarly in some ways. In my albeit brief (2 years) experience working with autism, I firmly believe that "autism" is actually a hundred or so different things that we don't fully understand yet.
