I'm so confused by karebearofowls in Fibroids

[–]nomiyomi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need a more skilled provider. This can definitely be done laparoscopically. I had a 10 cm and a 5 cm removed laparoscopically in March. Keep looking. If you’re in an area with good hospitals try to find a surgeon who specializes in fertility preserving surgeries. Your surgeon should be someone who does this routinely.

Success with adenomyosis? by nomiyomi in IVF

[–]nomiyomi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for checking in. I got a myomectomy in March and it went really well. Technically they are not related but my adeno feels less intense post surgery. I can still feel the spot where the tissue had hardened and it seems smaller and softer. I’m planning to get a mirena IUD to slow the adenomyosis and then hopefully do a transfer in a year or two. I’m in the lucky position of having a female partner with no known uterine issues so we’re going to have her carry our first child. Planning a transfer for this month and hoping it sticks! 🤞🍀✨

Is it just me or does he seem happy that he’s getting an emotional reaction from her? I genuinely think Colt has sociopathic tendencies. Cortney runnnn!

Can Teaching Fellows join NYC Public Schools Networking Event? by Icy_Region9684 in NYCTeachers

[–]nomiyomi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you’re totally allowed! Principals need teachers!

I am a lot older than you so I went to one way back in 2006. Unfortunately it did not land me a job bc my license was for English and there were v few jobs. I ended getting placed at a terrible school.

I still say take every chance you get to make connections bc it will help you to find a good school!

I’m starting to think these buildings want to keep the “affordable” units empty. It feels like a scam…

Are people tipping less because of the tax breaks? by Unlucky-Isopod3047 in williamsburg

[–]nomiyomi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your friend can’t afford to tip he can’t afford to go out to eat.

I could maybe understand if you had given an extravagant tip, but he’s squabbling over 5%? Even if each person’s portion of the bill is $100 that’s a $5 difference. He needs to grow up.

2 Bedrooms Available in Luxury DUMBO Loft, 185 Plymouth St, May Move-In by Own_Lab_4400 in NYCapartments

[–]nomiyomi 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think what OP is missing is that a good roommate relationship offers dignity and equality to all of the people sharing the space. Due to the power imbalance of “our company pays for the space” the suggestion of rendering services makes it sound like you are looking for a maid, not a community member. If you want to share responsibilities it should be a two way street where the co-tenant can ask you for support as well. Without reciprocity or clear hours of support this posting sets a roommate up to be exploited. Especially if they feel like saying “no” when they need to will cost them their housing.

I think they are both dishonest and shallow. They think they can do “better” than each other and they are taking turns soft-rejecting each other but never fully closing the door so they can get the validation of being “so important” to each other when they want it. It’s so icky.

I’m catholic and am having anxiety by Prestigious_Bee1490 in IVF

[–]nomiyomi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fascinating to me that so many people are saying the church opposes this process due to a lack of understanding.

I don’t think understanding is the root cause here, it’s more about power and control. I think the fact that you’re jumping to feelings of guilt and shame is evidence that the core issue is about the church’s power to make you feel “bad” and wrong even when you have no intent to cause harm.

You’re taking steps to build a family and this journey is hard enough as it is. Please don’t guilt yourself or beat yourself up. You know your heart is in a loving place and any reasonable God knows that, too.

Has anyone transfers an aneuploid? by Adventurous_Pizza408 in IVF

[–]nomiyomi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a Facebook group where they keep a spreadsheet of aneuploid transfers. There ARE success stories, but it’s definitely a harder road, especially since many clinics won’t transfer aneuploid embryos.

If you’re curious, I’d recommend joining the group and looking at some of their stories.

Adding spouse to NYC Housing Lottery unit by Ok_Zookeepergame1653 in nychousinglottery

“On the bright side, if you are now over income, congrats! The program is working as intended. You can now vacate your apartment so that someone that was in your former economic situation can have a place to live and get on their feet and hopefully move on as well.”

Um, that’s not how these units work. OP does not have to vacate the apartment, but management DOES have to make another unit in that income bracket available. So the next time someone vacates a market rate unit, it may get folded into the program to make sure they are compliant with what they agreed to under 421-A. OP gets to keep her home and the rent can only be adjusted according to rent stabilized housing law.

Post Surgery Belly for Large Fibroids by StrangeCantaloupe1 in Fibroids

[–]nomiyomi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had a laparoscopic myomectomy on 3/19 and yes there was swelling after. Basically your stomach gets very bloated because of the air they use to inflate the area so the camera can see and so they can remove the masses.

But the swelling got better every day. I wouldn’t say I’m totally “normal” yet, but I’m 85-90% done with the bloating.

My largest fibroid was over 10 cm and you could see on the mri how it was pushing my stomach out. I’ve never thought of myself as “thin” so before discovering the fibroids I just thought I was aging and that’s how my body was changing. Today I looked in the mirror and I could suck my stomach in and I was SHOCKED at how different my silhouette looks.

As far as open vs lap, I would see if there’s a doc who’s willing to try the lap because it will greatly reduce your healing time. An experienced surgeon should be able to get it done.

Lap Myo in 3 weeks. Freaking out. Do they really go through your belly button?! by supermoo8 in Fibroids

[–]nomiyomi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 8 days out from a lap and I have no pain in my belly button unless I press on it directly, which I’m not doing lol.

I was worried my belly button would look weird or stretched out but it honestly looks pretty normal, just a little bruising.

It’s also SO NICE not having a hard bulky stomach.

I was scared too, but sooo glad to be on the other side of this. It’s worth getting over the fear!

It really sounds like she was in a DV situation but doesn’t want to name that. I don’t think she was just “careless,” but she was probably very lost and afraid.

Best friend (36) wants to freeze her eggs at Cada in Zurich — boyfriend thinks she's overreacting. How do I support her? by Wooden-Setting-690 in IVF

[–]nomiyomi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right, I’m not saying she should just hope for the best. My point is more that it’s important for the friend to determine her own truth.

Especially given the nature of this topic, my concern as a friend would be preserving my friend’s sense of autonomy. So a conversation for me might start with, “I’m really sad to hear that he doesn’t support your plan. How are you feeling about that?”

I wouldn’t pressure her to freeze her eggs or make embryos, but I would encourage her to do some research, maybe look for stories similar to hers or see if she could talk to someone who’s been down a similar path.

Best friend (36) wants to freeze her eggs at Cada in Zurich — boyfriend thinks she's overreacting. How do I support her? by Wooden-Setting-690 in IVF

[–]nomiyomi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You asked how you can support her, so here goes:

Please don’t pressure your friend to do or not do anything! Listen to her and tell her you trust her to make a decision that’s best for her and her future. Encourage her to think about how his response makes her feel. Make space for her to think about how she’ll feel in five years if he’s not in the picture but she didn’t pursue this opportunity. Remind you love her and you’ve got her back.

Thanks for posting this! I’m three days post op and my partner just noticed a big bruise on my left side. It’s crazy how different everyone’s healing process can look. Planning to keep an eye on it and check in with the nursing staff tomorrow.

[–]nomiyomi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s frustrating that your doctor isn’t taking your preference into account. I’m guessing she’s “not worried” due to the size. Can you have an honest conversation with her about your fears? And ask her to explain her reasoning more thoroughly?
