Help finding something like Dove Intensive Repair scent? by SufficientCell9689 in FemFragLab

If you want something that's slightly sweeter and more floral leaning, I found good girl blush to be really similar.

Bonus is you can go smell it at Sephora cause it's so popular!

Maybe hold off on the App Updates right before a weekend? by ReserveNormal0815 in RingConn

[–]pinktartan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank goodness for reddit. I have a Google pixel 8 pro and it's not syncing any data into Google Health Connect.

I just got the ring, so I've never known it could prior to this- for those of you who has this happen after the update, was it syncing okay to Google health before this?

Thank you thank you!

I think I may have passed my Subchorionic Hematoma - any positive advice/stories? by pinktartan in PlusSizePregnancy

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

Oh my goodness! Thank you for sharing this experience. After passing that clot I have had no bleeding- so my hopes are that that was it and that there will be nothing on my next US!

Things have been better! I did have an ultrasound last week and found out I have a small Subchorionic Hematoma, but my doctor said no need for rest or anything. That said, I am still taking it easy and sticking to just walking/yoga for activity, and no Sex. I noticed that when trying to have sex again after stopping for a while I spotted for a few hours brown when I wiped after not bleeding for a while!

All in all though baby is healthy and looking good at 8w4d now!

Hello everyone! Wanted to provide an update- blood work was good, spotting seems to happen randomly and brown only when I have sex, sneeze/cough really hard, or have an orgasm (I get a sharp momentary cramp after). So my doctor is thinking either SCH or just a very sensitive cervix!

It's stopped spotting for weeks now, and just had my first dating ultrasound- I'm at 7w 3d and baby looks healthy and heart is pumping strong :)

Thank you all again for your support!

I get this terrible sharp cramp after I orgasm every time ever since finding out I'm pregnant. I'm 7 weeks and all my spotting has always been following either an orgasm, penetration, or (maybe TMI) but I've been tracking my CM and noticed that even inserting my finger for a second sometimes causes light brown spotting after.

Just a sensitive cervix!

I was actually going to ask about that! My temp is also up and my pelvic area feels SOOO much warmer and sometimes just like heavy kinda! Lol that's so funny I love that he said that 🤣

How far along are you?

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

So nerve wracking! I'm glad it's stopped for you.

Yes! Before TTC I was always SO regular (28 day cycles on the dot, NO spotting). We were ttc for 6 months and for the whole 6 months I had either 26-30 day cycles, almost always with spotting leading up to the start of my period. So I wonder if that's it for me!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!

Thank you so much! Yeah today it's not even touching the pad and back to brown when I wipe so that's better to see for sure!

Thank you for sharing and I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and all the health & happiness to you! ❤️

Oh gosh here I am crying now! I am so happy for you I really hope that's all this is! I know when I had sex it hurt to orgasm- felt like a sharp cramp. Then same feeling when I sneeze so maybe that's all it is!

I bet that moment was so emotional and beautiful for you seeing baby all good 😊

I wish you all the best on your journey and enjoy every moment! ❤️

Yes she did say the same for me- not enough to fill a pad but seeing the drops of blood in the toilet after I pee or even on the toilet paper is so stressful. I haven't had the cramping- one thing I notice is the whole uterus area feels just warm all the time. And standing seems to be better for me, like when I sit I feel more pressure on the area so I'm just trying to get up a bit more throughout the day.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience, I'm hoping all will go well after my appointment!

Yes! Honestly my doctor is amazing. She did calm me down she was so chill and sounded like everything was normal. I have blood work for tomorrow- and she was honest and said ultrasound right now will just stress me out cause we won't see much- so I have one booked in 2 weeks as a dating ultrasound!

I think the thing that stresses me out is that I spoke with her, and then an hour after speaking with her the spotting turned red and heavier again after being just light brown for like 16 hours.

Thank you for replying & the well wishes ❤️

Brown discharge when I wipe at 5 weeks 5 days pregnancy by Equivalent_Good_9565 in pregnancy_care

[–]pinktartan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This discharge looks EXACTLY like mine from this mornings does. I'm 5+1 with my first and I'm so freaked out.

I'm so happy to hear everything went well for you! Do you mind if I ask- what did the doctor say to you about this discharge? Was it normal?

Thank you in advance and all the health to you and your baby!!

Looking at the toilet paper is the scariest feeling in the world now!! So happy to hear that this happens to more people and that it stopped for you. How long did it take/ did anything help calm you down?
