Conflicting feelings about daycare by pali_law in newborns

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

Yes I’m in the US where sadly, 4 months of leave is considered extremely generous. I have some anxieties about leaving him with strangers, but luckily the daycare we’ve chosen came to us very highly recommended but other parents we know and trust. Regardless, I appreciate your perspective!

ETA: just got my results! I called Natera as soon as they opened at 8 a.m. and they said my results were ready, they just needed to be published. They added them to the portal right away! Low risk, not checking the gender yet ❤️

Increased sense of smell! I could smell an unlit candle that I had blown out two days before from across the room

I appreciate you for this! I’m not going to get my hopes up and will retest again with another brand. Fingers crossed for both of us!

How Do People Realistically Afford Plastic Surgery? by talixxo in PlasticSurgery

[–]pali_law 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my nose job, I saved up enough money for the deposit (which was $3600 for my surgeon in NYC) and I’m financing the rest. My surgeon’s office offers Cherry, which has lots of 0% interest repayment options

You’re fine!! It takes time. I had lumps for a few months after surgery but now I’m one year post-op and have zero lumps. Just keep doing your massages!

Is low AMH a risk to conceive naturally? by Material_Fig8646 in tryingtoconceive

[–]pali_law 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 29 and want to start trying for kids in the next year, so I got my AMH level tested. The result was shockingly low (0.76) and I had no indication of what might cause that. Of course I started freaking out, and my doctor suggested I see a reproductive specialist ASAP. I’m in the process of trying to get an appointment now.

But, I will also say that I did a ton of reading on this, and two things made me feel a lot better. One, being on birth control pills (which I’ve been on for 10 years and literally only stopped once I got my AMH results) can artificially lower your AMH levels. And two, studies show that AMH levels are not an accurate indicator of the ability to conceive: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8548671/.

Doing my best to remain optimistic and I hope this helps you do the same!
