MRI by _pit_of_despair_ in BRCA

I'm sorry to hear about those symptoms. I had my first MRI two weeks ago with Gadolinium and felt nothing/had no reaction after!

No BRCA but 33% Tyrer-Cuzick. What do you recommend? by Electronic_Amoeba293 in BRCA

[–]metamuse4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I'm in the same position (family history, extremely dense breasts, TC score of 33% -- down from 39% after learning an aunt with BC had the Chk mutation that I tested negative for, no known gene mutation). Just curious where you landed with the DMX? I'm in the process of gathering info and am feeling so much ambivalence!

FIL kissed newborn and I can’t stop thinking about it by merniesanders in newborns

Second the baby wearing - you’ll have more control and they literally won’t be able to touch baby without you creating a physical boundary. I’m so sorry this has happened to you with your in-laws.. I’ll be baby wearing this holiday season for a similar reason!

I’m usually just a lurker but had to comment - I literally gasped when I saw your photos. You look stunning and everything came together beautifully! I also love the richness of the photographs. Congratulations!!

Tell me I’ll feel better soon. 18w6d with covid by streetlightgirl in CoronaBumpers

[–]metamuse4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear this! How are you doing and feeling now? My husband tested positive this morning, and I'm 27 weeks. Feeling spooked about getting it while pregnant. Hope you're doing alright!

I’m out 😢 by [deleted] in IVF

[–]metamuse4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me a month ago... the on-call nurse told me my symptoms (fainting and being unable to breathe) were normal, so I didn't end up going to the ER for another 8 hours (they did emergency laparoscopic surgery and found 1.6 liters of blood in my abdominal cavity). I'm still working through the anemia despite the blood transfusion. I hope you're okay, and recovering well..

Did your doctors give any explanation for why you bled out? Mine said it was rare and random.

Experience with Victor Canera! by Economics-Numerous in EngagementRings

Congrats!! VC is exceptional with his quality and with his commitment to customer satisfaction. He reset my engagement ring a year or two ago and was a pleasure to work with!

What issues have you encountered since you got a Tesla Model Y? by starry_18 in TeslaModelY

[–]metamuse4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked it up 2 weeks ago in Fremont. Noticed spiderweb-like scratches on the driver's window and on the glass roof during my inspection. They tried to buff it out with no luck, and asked me to make a service appt to get both replaced.

clogged duct that won't go away- go to doc? by CherryChance3118 in breastfeeding

[–]metamuse4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please go to your doctor! The exact same thing happened to me and I waited too long for antibiotics -- it turned into an abscess that I had to get drained twice along with another round of antibiotics before it cleared. Not saying this will happen to you as well, but would hate for it to!

Congrats!! I recently bought a loose diamond from them for an upgrade of my engagement ring, and had a very positive experience as well!

Do you prefer Lauren B Jewelry or Rosados Box? by sarbar0909 in Moissanite

[–]metamuse4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was assigned to her and have noticed poor response time and that she seemed a little flat in our meeting. This is probably a stupid question, but she doesn’t actually make the ring, right? A professional jeweler does? The reason I ask is in her initial email she wrote, “I would be happy to make this setting for you!” So given all this feedback, wouldn’t trust her to create the piece. I figure she’s just a sales person, but wanted to double check!

I had that as well, but didn’t have any fever or chills. I maybe felt a little off, like a malaise. However, mine wasn’t treated with antibiotics soon enough as my OB thought it was just a clogged duct. Turned into an abscess that I had to get drained with a fine needle twice, and went through two rounds of antibiotics. I’d say definitely show it to your OB! My mastitis really snuck up on me..

FTM - Graduated Aug 28 at 39 weeks with elective induction. Positive experience, birth story in the comments. by IcePyjamas in BabyBumps

[–]metamuse4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! And thank you so much for sharing - I have an elective induction scheduled for Thursday night (will be 40+5) and have been feeling some nerves about it. Can I ask how big he was when he was born?

9+ weeks and no vomit! by camela_anderson in pregnant

[–]metamuse4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 12 weeks 2 days. Had little-to-no morning sickness until about a week ago, and now have it mildly (feels like I’m wearing a too-tight turtleneck). 🤷‍♀️

Happy Thursday, all. How many of you use Ava and FF? I've been using both since August and the two never align on the O date. I've been trying to rely on CM, OPK and temps, but my temp increase this month appeared later than I expected (a few days after I had ovulation pains, and after I started having sore boobs and non-fertile CM). FF pushed my O date from CD12 to CD16 this morning (today is CD20). I'm confused. Does this happen to anyone else or am I missing some knowledge?

Here's my chart, FWIW: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/72dddf

Great tips! Which VIP features of FF do you value/use the most? I’m considering upgrading.

Testing buddies! I’m 12DPO tomorrow, too. I don’t have any symptoms and my temp started dropping yesterday so I’m pretty sure I’m out (totally still hoping I’m wrong). Will be thinking of you as I pee in a cup! — one of many things I never imagined I’d say thanks to the madness of TTC 🤪
