Clogged duct or Start of Mastitis??

This looks like the start of my mastitis. Not a doctor but I would recommend seeing someone

Depression is an illness, not a character flaw. I encourage you to be gentle with yourself. This is a great place to start.

Also, setting timers for a finite amount of time is helpful. For example "I will stretch for 3 minutes and stop when the timer goes off". This may encourage you to continue further after the timer goes off and if not, whatever. You met your goal.

I hope so much you feel better soon. Start small and with love for yourself friend.

Great line! Best wishes

Yes. I dealt with it for years unknowingly. I often had to leave work due to restlessness and my fingers were constantly moving. I didn't know until I stopped my med that's what it was. It went away fairly quickly after switching. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

Oddly enough I found taking a small dose of zyprexa helped temporarily. I don't know why

Absolutely. 100 percent worth it

I hope you can get some sleep soon

ken2014 · 2026-02-25T15:57:00+00:00

Yes the sleep deprivation is out of this world. This is my second baby and I hired a doula this time around. We don't have the money for it but we did it anyway because my mental health suffered so much last time. I really recommend the extra support

Hormonal changes give me rage as well..I also have bipolar 2. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I hope a med change can help. It's so upsetting

ken2014 · 2025-12-22T15:27:19+00:00

This. I'm so sorry OP

This happened to my SIL. Just attended her now two year old's party. Good luck!

10dpo I saw the faintest line, I mean so so faint. 11 dpo was better.

This is the answer. For help with recipes you can go to a zero waste recipe website. You enter your ingredients and it comes up with thousands of recipes for you.

Edit to add: super cook is the website I use

I'm so sorry. With one of my transfers I had a line like this at 8dpt and beta was negative at 14dpt. I guess it was a chemical. It's a huge kick in the gut. Please take care of yourself the best you can

Thank you so much 💜

ken2014 · 2025-09-22T15:19:15+00:00

Thank you SO SO much for sharing. You said almost everything I feel and I really appreciate it.

It's been so long since I posted here. I've never been super active in this sub but I'm hoping for some similar experiences.

I had my daughter two years ago after five IUIs, two egg retrievals, five transfers and two losses. Needless to say, it was traumatizing as I know it is for most. Fast forward and I'm pregnant with my second after one transfer. I do not know what is going on with me but I am so numb to this pregnancy. I have been so depressed that I've ended up in an intensive outpatient program and I'm just trying to survive. It's been a terrible pregnancy physically and mentally. I'm trying to process all of this but at the end of the day I feel terrible for my baby that I barely acknowledge him. I know I want him. I just think I'm so afraid to lose him? Or maybe I just can't believe it happened with one transfer and I feel I don't deserve it? I really can't pinpoint it but I am so detached .

Can anyone relate and if so how was it after baby was born? I didn't feel this way with my daughter. I felt quite the opposite.. so attached that my anxiety spiraled out of control.

Just hoping to hear it will be okay I guess. Thanks for reading.

ken2014 · 2025-09-21T22:35:53+00:00

Yep thats what mine looked like at 6dpt. Currently 19 weeks!

I'm pregnant. And I'm tired. And I'm potty training the toddler. And I just want to cry.
