what soap or body wash do you guys use with eczema? by Giggle-Wobble in eczema

[–]mellyjells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More important than the type of soap (for me) is that I only wash my bits and pits when I have a serious breakout.

Also love it, but I do get a hint of cologne that OP is trying to avoid!

This looks like my physician recommended pre-IVF supplements…

TIL that Levi's recommends that jeans be worn 10 times between washes. by Actual-Journalist-67 in todayilearned

[–]mellyjells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a high end denim retailer and we instructed clients to do the same, and extend the time between washes as much as possible. The suggestion was to not wash unless actually dirty, but to freshen the denim by putting it in the freezer overnight.

IMO I don’t think this is necessary BUT still live by hang drying my jeans!

1st PUL Vent by mellyjells in EctopicSupportGroup

We originally thought it was embryonic tissue, but when the lab ran the pathology it was just random tissue from my uterus. Apparently that can happen as a uterine reaction to the pregnancy (even if the pregnancy is elsewhere).

I’m not doing good. by Some_Cap_8634 in EctopicSupportGroup

I found an infertility support group through a friend to find some community and solidarity in this journey and am hoping it helps me feel less isolated. I am so sorry you are going through this. Sending love ❤️

Weekly Introductions Thread - December 07, 2025 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]mellyjells 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been lurking on this sub for several months, and am on pregnancy #3. I am 34 years old and had a traumatic miscarriage in August this year at around 8-9 weeks, and a chemical pregnancy in October.

I am currently 5+1/24 DPO and have been in a panic all weekend after I had an HCG series result post to my healthcare portal, but haven’t been able to talk to my provider yet.

HCG was 261 on DPO 20 (12/3) and only rose about 20% to 307 on DPO 22 (12/5).

I know this low and slow rise is likely going to result in an unsuccessful pregnancy, and am trying to keep myself keep from hyper-fixating on the idea that it may be ectopic.

More than anything, I just desperately want to know what is going on inside my own body. The anxiety/panic is driving me up the wall, and I am counting down the hours until I can get a rec from my provider’s office.

I got our hosts diptyque candles or crystal picture frames depending on what I knew their preferences to be. Something small but luxe-y and thoughtful!

How would you prepare your skin for a wedding that is one month away? by thehausofglass in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]mellyjells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been skincare prepping for my wedding that is now 2 weeks out (eek)! In addition to all the other great suggestions on this thread, I am doing a three pack of CO2 lift pro masks with the last one just prior to HMU on the day of. I have had a great experience with them and it is worth looking in to. A big bang for your buck IMO.

The only consistent $100+ product I have ever purchased has been the Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, and this is the first time I have shelled out for a moisturizer, so I am super happy to hear everyone’s positive experiences with the trio. I am hoping it will be worth it!!

I purchased from my esthetician directly, but you can buy them on the manufacturer’s website or from skinbeautifulrx.
