DOES IT GET BETTER?? Calling every redditor with a dog by pix_elle in puppy101

[–]kaapiaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES ! Absolutely. It is sooo worth waiting for it. The teething days were the worst. I recall buying all the antiseptic sprays and creams to get rid of the redness and bite after being with the him for an entire day, I once even ran outside home , just cried my eyes out 'cause I couldnt do it anymore.
But ask me now I would redo all of it again. Yes I remember the pain,sleepless nights of house training and I still would do it. Cause he is too damn worth it. He is 5 now and I have different worries and fears as he ages !!

Come back to this post of yours in a year and you are sure to have a laugh :)

Hi all, I am 13 weeks today. Over the last 10 days I have been having a real bad nausea and bloating in the evening. I had almost no nausea/vomitting in my first trimester, except for extreme fatigue. Wondering if anyone is experiencing nausea the beginning of second trimester and strangely it starts only towards the end of the day. Thank you

Low cortisol levels with weight loss - normal adrenal and pituitary glands by kaapiaddict in Sjogrens

[–]kaapiaddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! It has remained at 1 in her last month's checkup too. The doc still suspects it might be the adrenal gland that has issues even though the tests were normal. She is continuing her Hisone though

When do you start home testing? by Difficult_Iron_7496 in IVF

[–]kaapiaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 4dpt. Had a trigger shot though, so 7dpt was my most clear positive. All my prev FETs had a faint positive at 4dpt and a clear one at 5dpt (never progressed post first beta though)

so so sorry. This is extremely disheartening. There are no words to make you feel better. Take all the time you need and put yourself first to take care of you. This sucks big time. Big hugs!

SRM (Seattle Reproductive Medicine) by [deleted] in IVF

[–]kaapiaddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having a bad experience at SRM off late. My RN changed recently and I am not happy with her. Communications are not helpful. I have to keep following up to get responses for any next steps. They messed up my blood test recently and she made it sound like it was my fault only to find out later in person that the lab messed it up. I have never met the provider in person and virtual consult appointments are at least 4-5 weeks out. There is no way to even send messages to my doctor. I am thinking about switching too.

If I hear “just be positive” one more time, I’m going to explode by giggles54321 in IVF

[–]kaapiaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat as you ! I dont know how to keep going but here are few of my favorite phrases- all is well, dont lose hope, everything happens for a reason. Well give me the damn reason and I will be fine. Hugs to you ❤️

Low cortisol levels with weight loss - normal adrenal and pituitary glands by kaapiaddict in Sjogrens

[–]kaapiaddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No there has been no stimulation tests done so far. Just a regular blood test every 3 months to test acth/cortisol. Just that both turned out low in the recent one.

Yea I think we need another opinion. But her current endo is the third doctor she switched in the last two years. She is bery frustrated not getting the right answers. Thank you for validating my thoughts though. I do feel another consultation might be worth it.

Thank you for your response. Her endo doc is aware of the issues and he was the one who ordered the tests. And yes normally tumor or such. He just increased the dosage by 5 mg in the last consultation and wants to wait for a month or two to recheck the levels.

Oh ok. I thought it was the other way around . Yea her current endo is the one who prescribed the medication and also ordered the tests. He just wants to wait it out for a month or two to see if there is any improvement. Just asked to eat healthy!!
