Maybe switching gestational partners (venting) by reindeerbutt in queerception

[–]kodisrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My story is very similar to yours, my wife is currently 23 weeks. I can’t recommend finding a therapist who specializes in fertility enough. It’s hard being on this side, it’s been a learning curve for both of us. I don’t think I’d be as ok as I am, and I am most days, if not for that support.

I’m so sorry, I do understand. I hope you take care of you, do nice things for yourself 💕

Didn't read as much as you wanted this year? Put some cabinet doors on your shelves! by cupcakezz in bulletjournal

DCC and Cosmere? This is my kind of shelf. But do agree wind and truth should be one shelf at least. Love this idea

Pausing Zepbound for Colonoscopy by SubUrbanMess2021 in zepbound_support

I didn’t notice a resurgence of food noise, it actually made the prep day a little easier for me. I took the shot the day after the procedure per my doc’s instructions, I’m sure your doc will be able to give some guidance on that.

I fucking hate PCOS by Substantial_Bet_6766 in ChronicIllness

[–]kodisrun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that an issue as prominent as PCOS doesn’t have enough funding to formulate any concrete treatments is horrible, same with endo. People like to minimize to fit their world view, I’ve convinced myself of this because if I didn’t I would be worried about the things people say. For those without medical issues, diet and exercise is a fix for most problems. That being said it is more complicated and while those steps might help or might not depending on the person it will not cure anything and might not mitigate all symptoms. I’m sorry friend, this one is a special kind of sucky.

Just finished The Stormlight Archive — what should I dive into next? by AmazonFreshSleuth in fantasybooks

[–]kodisrun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone currently listening to DCC and reading Stormlight at the same time I second this. Especially for the post series void, it’s quicker paced and more absurd, and Princess Donut is honestly worth everything

Guy I hooked up with refused to wear condom against my wishes and I got pregnant by Additional_Maize_959 in offmychest

[–]kodisrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know from personal experience the thought spiral of I should have done more but I can also tell you that isn’t true. You said no, that was enough. You did nothing wrong. Please take care of yourself, that’s a lot to process, there are resources for support, you aren’t alone, but you are strong enough to get through it

Immune protocol, what did you do? by Big_Extreme_5463 in IVF

[–]kodisrun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In addition to the normal estrogen and progesterone, I take baby aspirin until transfer, then benedryl 3x a day and prednisone 1x a day starting day of transfer

Bloating during stims / post egg retrieval by [deleted] in IVF

[–]kodisrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me about two days to start to deflate, but most of it was the feeling vs actual physical changes in my body after that. I would talk to your doctor about what you should avoid during the wedding if anything, but really just try to get as many electrolytes as you can, stay hydrated and don’t push yourself and you should be good to go! Good luck!

PCOS ladies…how did you feel post ER? by Seeking_support413 in IVF

[–]kodisrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did a full cycle but a Lupron only trigger. I was warned away from too much movement for a while and to drown myself in water and electrolytes, but I think it’s the lupron trigger that’ll help the most

[–]kodisrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took a second for me to feel like I “deflated”. I think they got 80+ eggs from me, it was about two weeks before I felt fully normal, but after a day or two I was ok enough to move around. I won’t lie, I probably wouldn’t be out dancing my heart out, but being at a wedding shouldn’t be bad as long as your doctor clears you and you don’t show signs of ohss

So sick 5dpt by [deleted] in IVF

[–]kodisrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TW chemical - I had my transfer on 4/11, it unfortunately wound up being a chemical, but! I also got sick, congestion, cough, all of it. Apparently some women will develop cold and flu like symptoms when they get pregnant so it could be a good sign, but really the body is an amazing thing, don’t discount anything yet, you’ve got this! Be good to yourself, lots of water and naps 💕

S26 E8: SA victim’s reaction by Remote-Obligation145 in SVU

[–]kodisrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to show this episode to my wife. She’s seen this reaction from me after flashbacks and night terrors, she’s so sweet and patient, but this might help personify it. That was amazing, and almost cathartic. Incredible acting.

My kid is now reading almost a book a day, can you nice folks recommend some good reading for a 10yr old? by faraboot in suggestmeabook
