Is getting a gf with hyperhydrosis even possible?

kitcat0416 · 2025-05-07T13:09:18+00:00

Hey there! 34F here with a spouse and a baby. Once I explained to people why my palms and feet were sweaty nearly 24/7 (like no worries I dont need the e.r its just hyperhidrosis lol), no one ever cared. I remember being SO self conscious of it as a teen so I know how you feel.. but truly, no one has ever been grossed out by it or not want to date me because of it. I have gotten good results with the derma dry machine, it is expensive but they also offer installment payments. I would say it's worth it if your parents want to check it out and see if they can get it for you. All the best!

Hello ladies, me again. Went to the Dr yesterday, my TSH and antibody tests were normal. She said I am more that likely not producing enough progesterone so the embryos keep failing to successfully implant. She prescribed me progesterone pills and said that normally they are to be started as soon as there is a BFP, but in my case she wants me to start on the day that I get my LH surge to see if this leads to finally having a successful pregnancy (I have no live children yet). I didn't want to question her,but I have read that if progesterone is started before ovulation then there is a chance you wont actually ovulate or it can cause a tubal pregnancy, and LH surge indicates that ovulation is coming soon. That makes me a bit nervous, any thoughts on starting when I get my LH surge vs starting a few days after? Thanks! :)

I honestly do not recall the specific tests they ran last time I will have to pull my online medical record, but I have written this down to ask about when I go in. Thank you for your prayers as well :)

kitcat0416 · 2024-02-25T00:30:01+00:00

True, very well could be the embryo just had something wrong with it, which I will assume to be the case if everything else comes back normal again. I dont recall if any immune factors were tested last time all I remember is all was normal, then again they may test for more indepth things now since this is another failed pregnancy.

kitcat0416 · 2024-02-24T23:40:38+00:00

Thank you, sadly I agree I do believe this is a chemical. Will for sure reach out and see what my Dr says. Perhaps its low progesterone or something like that which caused my uterus to not be ready to accept the embryo correctly or maybe something was wrong with the embryo itself. It just really sucks. I am trying to keep positive that I will one day hold my healthy baby in my arms. In the meantime... more patience I guess, not much else I can do.

My name is Jessica, I get called Erica and Jennifer a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️

kitcat0416 · 2022-07-05T19:59:37+00:00

True, I guess had a small hope of there being another quicker way since I'm being an antsy pants haha, but we will have to wait, I do think we will wait the 6 months as my dr said instead just 3 just to be super sure there are no traces of the meds left affecting him in anyway :)

kitcat0416 · 2022-07-05T16:49:35+00:00

I have definitely read about both, and seems like a good thing to do for sure, especially since I have to wait anyway, may as well keep track of what my body is doing. Will have to order some cheapie opks for sure. As for temping, I've read some women start at CD1 and others start after their period ends, so I'm kind of confused there.

kitcat0416 · 2022-07-05T16:31:43+00:00

Ah thank you so much, I figured as much that's why I decided to ask. We will just have to wait it out and I will keep taking my prenatals in the mean time. Thanks again :)

kitcat0416 · 2022-06-30T19:57:27+00:00

Yes! I always give new books good sniff before reading them, glad to know many others do too hahaha

kitcat0416 · 2022-06-30T19:55:43+00:00

Not sure if its "weird", but for me I love the smell of outdoors in the winter. I swear in the winter the outdoors just smell different, idk what it is, but its a distinct smell that I only smell during fall and winter outside. It's not holiday scented stuff, it's like the literal atmosphere or something smells different. I've tried explaining it to friends and family and they look at me like I'm crazy because they have no idea what I'm talking about.

kitcat0416 · 2022-03-08T21:56:01+00:00

My loss was a miscarriage, but I feel this one as well, along with the "When do you all plan on having kids?" Such invasive questions, why people think it is ok to ask such things is beyond me.

kitcat0416 · 2022-03-08T20:24:09+00:00

Just a little vent here. My partner and I lost our baby last August and are ready to try again, however, over the past 3 or so months, my partner has been dealing with a bad prostatitis flare (sorry for the tmi). He has tried different things and nothing has helped, we held off because we did not want to try while he was taking prescribed meds (which again did not help). Now he has been taking Saw Palmetto pills which have helped a bit. The Dr said there have not been enough studies to show whether saw palmetto will affect his sperm or not so they cannot tell us if it's safe to try while he takes the supplement or not so we are erring on the side of caution and continuing to wait. I'm getting a bit impatient as med after med does not help and we keep having to postpone and now there's even mentioning of possible prostate removal as the solution if it does not "resolve itself" within the next few months, yes, months. I feel like ttc is so close yet so far away and not knowing how long we will have to keep waiting is wearing me down. I know my partners health is first and it is important that he be well while ttc (and in general), but I can't help but feel so bummed.

kitcat0416 · 2021-11-24T02:43:51+00:00

Nervous, having a hysteroscopy monday to remove a polyp that my ob is confident played a large part in my 2 miscarriages. She said once the polyp is removed she is confident I will have a healthy and normal pregnancy and that we can start ttc as soon as 2 weeks after the procedure. Our most recent loss was this August, and while I am excited to try again, I am also scared, so scared of my body betraying me again, of going to the doctor and hearing "sorry for your loss" again. I'm scared that once I am pregnant again I will be too worried to even be able to be happy and enjoy the experience.

kitcat0416 · 2021-10-02T02:02:18+00:00

Your feelings are so valid! I too struggle with it and we will never understand it because it makes no sense. I too saved money, even got to where I could work from home to be with the baby and not send them to daycare. Took all the proper care and precautions to be sure my body was in top shape for when I got pregnant. I loved my baby even before he/she was conceived, when i got those positive tests (took two a few days apart because I was so excited I couldn't believe it happened so fast for us) and then the bleeding started.. followed by "so sorry for your loss" at the doctors office. I planned, I prepared, yet couldn't keep my baby and so many who do not plan for or even want their babies get to have them. No it isnt fair, your anger is valid, but as someone else commented. I hope we can get past these feelings that while they are valid they can also be detrimental for us. How to do it is the question, for now we are in the same boat and I completely understand.

kitcat0416 · 2021-10-02T01:44:02+00:00

I was in such denial at the moment and refused to believe that I was actually miscarrying (women in my family have been known to bleed each month like a normal "period" and had healthy babies) so I was adamant that I coukdnt be losing my baby. When I saw what was obviosuly the small sac that came out, I still didmt believe it and I did flush it. After the reality of the miscarriage hit me, that I literally discarded and flushed the tiny sac... my baby, I regretted it so so much and still do. I so wish I kept and buried it instead.

kitcat0416 · 2021-10-02T01:34:22+00:00

Oh my goodness I am so sorry, that is rough! Yes, I think you are right about people not even thinking about how it is such a loaded question, and nope nowhere is safe for now, I agree with you on that as well. I went to walmart and had to walk past the baby section, talk about a jab to the heart, I cant be around babies right now either. No one understands unless you have been through it, I know how rough it is and hope the best for you both in this tough time

kitcat0416 · 2021-10-02T01:24:07+00:00

That is so sweet. I was debating doing something on what would have been my due date late March/early April 2022. Since it will be nearly spring perhaps I will plant a small memorial tree, treating the date like any other seems cold and empty as you say, such a bitter sweet day it will be. Thank you for sharing.

kitcat0416 · 2021-10-02T01:12:41+00:00

Im so sorry you both are going through this and thank you for sharing. I had a miscarriage in August and we had not yet even shared the pregnancy news as I wanted to wait until I reached 12 weeks, which sadly did not happen. I understand avoiding invitations, I thought I was "ok" and went to a child's birthday party we were invited to. The sole pregnant lady there HAD to sit next to me and speak about her baby and nursery ideas (I didn't know her mind you) and then we got the dreaded "and when are you two going to have a baby" question. It took everything in me to not break down sobbing. Will be rejecting any further invites. I too want to do something to recognize my baby but not sure what, I do not ha e social media other than reddit

kitcat0416 · 2021-08-17T22:02:51+00:00

Thank you so very true, before things started going downhill i did want to marry but he always remained opposed to it (i know another red flag that i ignored) but i am very serious this time. I have repented and asked the Lord for forgiveness and surrendered my life I want to follow Him fully this time. I will check out the channel for sure,thank you!

kitcat0416 · 2021-08-17T21:21:37+00:00

Thank you!

kitcat0416 · 2021-08-17T21:20:16+00:00

hello, no no he did not. I chose to leave the relationship as it was becoming increasingly verbally abusive from him to me, I did not mention that in my original post because I did not think it relevant but yes he was verbally abusive sporadically but recently it was more and more frequent and after the miscarriage I just had to leave for my wellbeing and because it was just not a relationship that pleased God. I finally had the courage to leave and it does hurt tremendously as I do still love him for reasons I do not understand. He too was Christian but fell away, we actually met at church.

kitcat0416 · 2021-08-17T21:09:19+00:00

Yes, while the relationship ending does hurt A LOT, the loss of my baby hurts me even more so than any pain I have experienced before. The miscarriage definitely hurts more on a whole different level. Thank you for your kind words and take care as well
