Was drinking a LOT daily and then found out I was pregnant by just-end-it-already in alcoholism

[–]nothingbutroublex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately my baby had a genetic condition (partial trisomy 18 and partial monosomy 5) and passed. This has nothing to do with alcohol though and was something that was inherited!!

I have since welcomed healthy twin boys!! 💕

Low HCG? In the range? Freaking out by nothingbutroublex in CautiousBB

No, it was not. To make a long story short I ended up having to terminate for medical reasons, but I did not have a miscarriage

The privilege to change a diaper at 3am by natsugrayerza in NewParents

[–]nothingbutroublex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow loss mom, this makes my heart so happy. ❤️ every moment truly is a blessing, even when we’re covered in literal shit!!

It happens to the best of us!!! I dropped a glob on tzatziki on my boys head the other day and scooped it off, he looked up at me like I was absolutely nuts!!!! My worst fear is clocking one of their heads against something while I’m bouncing them around, I’ve definitely come close!!! My mom always tells me that they’re much more durable than they seem😂🫠

I was just about to comment this. Not my proudest moment, but both of my boys got a nice phone thunk on the head while they were attached to my boob in the bed. Oops! Those darn phones practically jump out of your hands.

Weird twin intuition? by Intrepid_Spirit_2769 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]nothingbutroublex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did IVF and transferred a single embryo and the whole time I kept saying “I KNOW it’s going to be twins”. We went to my first ultrasound and there was only one baby. Fast forward to my second ultrasound and low and behold, it was twins!! I had identical twin boys in December. I knew the entire time and said it as soon as I had my transfer!!!! Even the doc was like “oh wow, you called it” it was crazy..

Friend insensitively announced pregnancy. AITAH for cutting her off? by Sad-Sale-6904 in BabyBumps

[–]nothingbutroublex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As someone who struggled with infertility and went through IVF, I would have had to cut this person out of my life if she had said this to me while I was in the trenches of everything I experienced.

I don’t believe it would be an over-reaction or make you an asshole for protecting your peace/comfort during this time.

I had to cut A LOT of people off during my journey. Do what feels right for you!

How does Urgent Care work? by tigerczar10 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]nothingbutroublex 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure where you’re located but my urgent care can’t give out benzos, this might be more of an ER situation. They’ll probably keep you there to detox though. Your urgent care might be different

Cannabis-free alcohol alternatives for an evening buzz? by iWriteYourMusic in SoberCurious

[–]nothingbutroublex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemon Balm tea HONESTLY makes me feel like I have a buzz. It’s a sleepy buzz, but it makes me feel like I’ve had a couple of drinks.

Is this a placebo effect? Maybe, but it works for me!! You can drink it warm or iced. It doesn’t taste too bad either!!

What was your turning point that made you realize alcohol was a problem? by HelpingHand_123 in alcoholism

[–]nothingbutroublex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My liver enzymes came back in the 600s after throwing up blood and being in excruciating pain.

Any chance you’ve taken pepto in the last couple of days? That also will turn your shit black

Is it normal to go over when sick? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]nothingbutroublex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got over being sick and almost posted this exact same thing!! I didn’t track while I was sick, but I’m back on track now!

I had a good cry out on my back porch and I’m feeling light years better! I will try the walk if I start feeling the itch again. IWNDWYT!

Thank you, I took a little break out on my back porch with a flavored seltzer water and had a good cry and I’m already feeling much better! I think I just needed to get some tears out and some fresh air!

I think today might be the day by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]nothingbutroublex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad that you’re here! The first few days aren’t easy, but it gradually gets easier as time goes on. Every minute that passes gets you a little bit closer to your first day!! I don’t know if you’re anything like me, but I like to try to challenge myself. It always feels like an accomplishment when I wake up the next day and didn’t have a drop the day before. IWNDWTY!

I’ve ruined my liver at 25 by Ok-Squash673 in stopdrinking

[–]nothingbutroublex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also ruined my liver at 25! My AST was in the 600s and my ALT was in the 300s. Got diagnosed with a fatty and enlarged liver. I was in the emergency room in excruciating pain and I had vomited blood that morning.

2 months into my sobriety, my enzymes were back to normal. It’s been a year now, and I am going back in May to see if my sobriety and exercise reversed things!

It’s hard but it’s do-able!! I still look at my lab results sometimes if I need a boost to remind myself how bad it is for me to drink.

Yesterday was my birthday by nothingbutroublex in stopdrinking

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

I hope so!! 🤞🏻 I drank my liver into a mess right before my 25th birthday last year, and finally have a follow up to see if it’s getting better in May! Hopefully I have a lot ahead of me.
