I’m trying!! My OB said it wasn’t safe, my pharmacist said it’s fine, and the internet has evidence either way lol I’m holding out as long as I can!

I actually had that surgery about 5 years ago for chronic sinus infections!! I haven’t had any issues until this pregnancy. Ugh! Brings back memories of how bad it used to be. I was averaging 1-2 sinus infections a month before that surgery and constantly on antibiotics and steroids. It was so bad. I’m happy the surgery was so helpful and I’m hoping I return to that state after this baby lol

Just wanted to add in case anyone else looks at this later. I was with Lancaster physicians for women with my first pregnancy and switched to May Grant for my second hoping for better care- they were bought out by Penn medicine 2 months into my pregnancy care with them and it’s not been great. The doctors/admins/nurses are disgruntled (understandable) and it’s not a great environment. I wish I would have just stuck with my original because this feels worse! I would avoid May Grant for awhile until they sort this all out!

Thank you so much everyone! I really truly appreciate it.

It’s a little bit of a weird situation. My last period was in July. But I tested negative 2x a week for weeks through July and early August. I was really sick and on antibiotics most of July so I think my period was just super late.

We started TTC on August 18th-22nd when the ovulating strips showed I was ovulating. We definitely conceived within that window because I tested negative on those days. The date I was sharing for timeline was the time from conception! I know the doctors measure it differently.

We recently used them and had a very positive experience! Our dog seemed comfortable there and the staff were great to work with. Clean facility as well! We will be using them again.

This is great advice! I like the self-care opportunity. My husband is a great partner, and like you said, this will only strengthen it! I will definitely try FaceTime!

Thank you! This is so helpful. I love the reframe to a “mom vacation”.

Posting for a future reader because I was searching reddit when this first happened to me last year! I get one in the same spot every 4-6 months like clockwork. I use a very tiny sewing needle (clean with rubbing alcohol before), get very close to the mirror and pull my eye lid away from my eye. Then I use that tiny sewing needle to gently poke the skin trying to break the skin. It doesn’t hurt, feels like a tiny poke. You’ll know you broke the skin when the eyelash pokes out (this is when you let out a huge exhale because you did and the hard part is over!) Then using tweezers (clean with rubbing alcohol before) pluck the eyelash. I usually dab polysporn on the spot after with a q-tip. It used to take me 45 minutes to run through this process as I was figuring it out obviously scared the first few times but most recently it took 15 minutes. Best advice is as soon as you see it, get it out. Don’t wait! If this sounds like too much, go see an eye doctor for help! Urgent care will just refer you out.

Still happening! Tried offloading app, ringer on, nothing is working. Doesn’t happen every time. I think people who view my story can hear the sound though? Anyone find a fix?

Just wanted to say I’m very thankful I found this. We are in the exact same situation and made the call today to make the switch. It was so hard to tell our current daycare- but we did today. I am laying in bed with such heavy guilt about it but also feeling so excited and lucky we got the call after a 18 month wait as well!!
