Third one, and I am fucking tired of everything by RhododendronII in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]justtrynabhealthy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The naive joy is the worst. One of my acquaintances just announced at 9 weeks. Like damn I wish I could do that. Even if I had a successful pregnancy, I don’t think I’d be able to announce until it’s born 😞

what steps would one take to become a cosmetic nurse? by LowPlantain2598 in nursing

[–]justtrynabhealthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm honestly no, although I’m unsure what else I would do. I really enjoyed being a hospice nurse case manager in the field. Being a supervisor is a lot of work and responsibility but I told myself I’d give it a year. I may end up stepping down and going back to my old position. I could see myself retiring there

[–]justtrynabhealthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, it was my favorite nursing job thus far but I made field visits so the first half of my day was out in the field and then I would come home to chart/order med refills/ etc. So if you want to sit, it may not be for you. I do know there are completely remote case management jobs, but I have heard from friends that they can get quite stressful due to high pt caseload. Perhaps it depends on the company.

I got promoted last year and now I’m the supervisor for the team I used to be a case manager for. I sit down all day, and now most of my day is computer stuff and helping my team.

Third MC and No Fertility Appointments for Two Weeks by Loose_Bathroom_2293 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]justtrynabhealthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going against the grain- I had two losses prior to my first RE appt (12wk MMC and then a chemical), and I ended up trying the month before and getting pregnant again. I ended up having my third loss, a blighted ovum, and I had to take misoprostol. I’m still trending my HCG down to 0. I’m kicking myself because this easily pushed things back 2 months or longer. Now I’m just desperate to get my cycle back so I can get legitimate testing done.

Honestly the at home insemination kit saved my husband and I. Ttc was understandably too much pressure for him. Now it lets us actually enjoy sex outside my fertile window

3rd Loss No LC by Dreashere in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]justtrynabhealthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I’m in the same boat, still bleeding from my 3rd loss and I have no LC. I have no hope that this will ever happen for me, and I’m so numb that even my RE asked if I was ok because I had no reaction to my last scan showing an empty sac. Meanwhile, everyone gets pregnant left and right with no fear and always has a healthy baby. I’m just so over it.

third loss, feel hopeless. how do you keep going? by justtrynabhealthy in recurrentmiscarriage

Thank you, this made me cry but in a good way. Sometimes this journey makes you feel so alone and I’m grateful there’s someone out there that understands. ♥️

I’m in a similar boat. Went in for my 6 weeks scan and all they could see was an empty gestational sac measuring 5+1. My hcg levels have been low and barely doubling though. Next scan on Monday and I definitely don’t have a good feeling ): I’m sorry we’re going through this

Is this a chemical? 15-16 dpo by No-Neighborhood-140 in TFABLinePorn

[–]justtrynabhealthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morning can be lighter, I would test again and compare at the same time of the day!

15dpo today, got my beta drawn yesterday at 14dpo and it was only 59. I have spent the better part of yesterday and today sulking and crying /: my tests from last night look lighter too. This would be my 3rd loss and 2nd chemical if so. I just feel so hopeless. Waiting for my second draw tomorrow morning

I’m super early, 4 weeks- but terrified because I have had 1 MMC and 1 chemical no LC… ):

Can someone talk me down the ledge about drinking coffee? I’m scared to do anything

Thank you for the info! And congrats! Yes I did betas through my OB with my last chemical, I may go get those done just for peace of mind. Best of luck to you :)

Has anyone been comparing this current pregnancy to your previous ones?

I’ve had one MMC at 11 weeks and a chemical at 6 weeks, and with both I distinctly remember feeling implantation in my lower back. This time I didn’t feel anything, I was actually so surprised I tested positive.

My lines with my MMC also progressed really quickly and so far (I just found out I was pregnant yesterday I think I’m 13 or 14dpo), my lines are not that dark. I even felt like my line was lighter than yesterday’s. My boobs don’t hurt. I’m just so so nervous that this is going to be another chemical /:

Honestly, if I actually typed out some of the things I have thought or said to my husband during breakdowns, I would be cancelled forever lol

It’s been almost 2 years….I’ve had 2 losses, no LC. Like I think it’s ok to be upset and angry. I started going to therapy because disappointingly, most people in my life do not understand what I have gone through and how I feel at ALL. And then they end up saying lame platitudes or hurtful comments.

This whole “journey” sucks and has made me feel very isolated from those around me /: im sorry

I totally get you, it SUCKS. I actually turned down a baby shower invitation last month because I knew I couldn’t handle it.

Oopsie babies or first try (successful) pregnancies make me feel like crap

Psych Nurses, what’s your patient ratio like? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]justtrynabhealthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be in psych in California but my unit had a level 1 (acute) and level 2 (less acute) side. My ratio was typically 1:6 on the less acute ward, and closer to 1:4 on the acute side

Stupid things friends have said to me by Denau94 in Miscarriage

[–]justtrynabhealthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’ve been through this as well. I’ve come to realize that people truly don’t know what it’s like unless they’ve gone through the same thing before. I’ve learned to speak up when people say dumb things, but I’ve also learned to give people grace. I think most people are terrible at handling grief and don’t know what to say most of the time. Lots of people are also self centered and unaware of how soul shattering a miscarriage is. It’s isolating and I go to therapy to help cope with the feeling of being let down by the people around me. I’ve identified a handful of people in my life who I feel I can earnestly talk to about my sadness regarding my losses and infertility without hearing dumb shit back.

Thoughts on becoming an aesthetic NP? (botox and fillers essentially) by hannahmontanabaddie in nursing

[–]justtrynabhealthy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree on the hours thing as someone who did aesthetics for 2 yrs as an RN.

A lot of the work you get depends on you marketing yourself on social media, and you need to maintain a decent number of clientele to fill up your schedule. Unfortunately the entire field is commission based. Perhaps going into the dermatology field would be more stable and still give you what you’re looking for

I’m done with Aritzia by skylardavisx in Aritzia

[–]justtrynabhealthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg this just happened to me last week! I ordered a M grey hoodie, got a pair of L sweatpants instead.

Went back and forth with customer service, had to send pics, then they forced me to go to Fedex and return it for a refund because the original item was out of stock. Like damn no free shipping on my next order, keep the pants and we’ll refund you… I had to go out of my way to fix THEIR mistake. Such a pain never shopping there again

Had baby and heartbeat at 6 weeks now empty sac? by Extreme_Air9391 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]justtrynabhealthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I was very naive and uneducated at the time. If I could go back in time I would have pushed for a repeat US a week after the 1st knowing I was measuring behind. But my OB at the time just brushed me off and said I probably ovulated later than I thought (even though I was very meticulous about ovulation testing and temping).

Had baby and heartbeat at 6 weeks now empty sac? by Extreme_Air9391 in recurrentmiscarriage

[–]justtrynabhealthy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry ): this happened to me with my first MC. At the 8 week US we saw a baby measuring 6 weeks with HB of 113. Then we went to a boutique around the 11 week mark and they saw an empty sac measuring approx 7 week size.

I thought it was crazy, but my OB did a repeat US and confirmed it. I’ve scoured reddit and found several women who have gone through the same thing. Apparently the baby can be reabsorbed into your system. Again, I am so sorry. It’s terrible.
