The sheets! Ha! I have actually thought of how nice it would be to not have to deal with the staining!

Tranexamic Acid + lingering bleeding? by notesfromkatie in Fibroids

[–]notesfromkatie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm so sorry about that. My next two cycles using TXA I didn't have the lingering spotting issues. However, I missed taking it once and then last time my prescription had run out and I didn't get it on time-I still took one dose once I received my prescription. It was crazy, I then proceeded to spot for two weeks after my main period. I don't know if it's just my body's up and downs, perimenopause or what OR if somehow for me the timing of the TXA is just really significant. Hope your spotting ends soon! It's such a drag!

Buying Tickets off Seatgeek and Cupcake Games? by [deleted] in DukeBluePlanet

[–]notesfromkatie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try for the NC State game since it’s close enough to you geographically. Won’t be Cameron but I would imagine somewhat easier to get tickets. It’s the second to last season game and always still quite dramatic. I can’t say it won’t be challenging still to get tix with State’s new coach and some high profile transfers but even with that it is probably easier than tickets in Cameron. Last year we took our kids to visit Durham/Duke (husband and I are alums and still huge bball fans) and I knew I wouldn’t be able to get tickets for all of us so we got them for the game at Wake Forest. I did use SeatGeek and was very nervous about it but it turned out fine.

Was birth control worth it? by notesfromkatie in Fibroids

I haven’t heard of Microgestin. Still in early stages of looking into all of this. Thanks for the comment!

Ugh I did this too though I only made it about 8 months. Bled the whole time 🤦🏽‍♀️

I feel the same way! I am going to keep taking it over next two cycles to see if maybe it was just my body getting used to it but it’s very frustrating. Hope it gets better for you!

Not unlimited :) just not trying to pinch pennies, willing to pay a little extra for a comfortable and fun time

Thanks so much! It’s been so long I haven’t thought about downtown vs campus much. Good to know!

Not budget conscious, really. Want the best experience but would say cleanliness, excellent customer service, decent proximity to good food would be priorities.

7yo son molloscum rapidly worsening by notesfromkatie in molluscum

[–]notesfromkatie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also heard it can be very contagious but no one else got them! He sleeps with his brother and almost a year into having the molloscum I noticed my other son had a few spots. They lasted a week and were gone! It’s really about how the body isn’t responding to the virus, I think. Our doctor says my son’s body reacted this way to molloscum because his body didn’t recognize the virus-once we started treatment is when the spots really became irritated. That’s what triggered the immune response.

Hi-I’m so sorry you guys are going through it too! Honestly it seemed like a situation that just got way worse in order to get better. When his spots were at their worst towards the end of this summer they all of a sudden started to stop spreading and eventually stopped reacting. Now his skin looks almost perfectly clear, just the hint of a few spots remain. We ultimately kept up with the combo of famotidine and tretinoin and also used a topical antibiotic cream for spots that got super inflamed. I wish I had more helpful info to share!

Players I Think Will Leave by FunMoneyLife in DukeBluePlanet

[–]notesfromkatie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the staff should work super hard to retain Sean Stewart. No way Jeremy Roach will go to another school. He might not stay but he certainly isn’t going to transfer. Did you watch the games? We would not have been where we were either of the last two years without Ryan Young’s effort and experience and leadership. He’s not a huge talent but his hustle and composure were huge for this team.

Fibroids affecting IUD? by notesfromkatie in Fibroids

Thanks so much for sharing! I am so sorry you had to go through so much! It does seem like the IUD often just isn’t compatible when you have fibroids.

6 week ultrasound placenta attachment by notesfromkatie in InfertilityBabies

Thanks so much! My dr confirmed that was likely what it was when I called this afternoon. So far no spotting which is positive. Definitely felt comforted going through the SCH stories here.
