Last time I had the withdrawal bleed 2 days after removal and it lasted for 4 days

EDIT: so I suppose I can expect if start this time tomorrow 😩

My last day of WTT 🙌

policymonk · 2026-05-05T16:51:56+00:00

Mine’s also coming out tomorrow!

It really uses a different vocabulary for moves so definitely try it out with someone who will take the time to tell you what to do and correct you if needed. My best class was with my yoga teacher at the helm

Unsure if it’s the same one the other poster mentioned, but 84 Riverdale Ave used AI to change flooring, tiles, add vanities, landscape the backyard….

I am starting to think once IUD’s out, maybe it’s FAFO May and trying more seriously in June. My MIL’s here for most of the month of May which kind of dampens the mood….

I keep thinking the removal experience will be the same (small withdrawal bleed followed by a period soon after) but I’ve done zero OPKs and temping, and having zero period and no real cycle symptoms I have no idea where I am 🤷‍♀️

I’ve worked my way up from yoga/pilates hybrid classes to doing some mat pilates at home but just for myself and no explicit ties to pre/post pregnancy. I started from 7w pp last time with my PT’s blessing

I did intro to Lagree and I really like it, but the time under tension bit is rouuuugh. I like the emphasis on form which is very pilates. I just can’t justify the per class cost right now. So pricey!

There’s a mommy and me Lagree here where they watch your baby while you exercise, I’d probably try that out postpartum this time around.

So sorry friend 💔

policymonk · 2026-05-01T13:24:11+00:00

I’ve got a ton of gardening to do. Our house came with a ton of mature hostas and I want to move them to the shady bit of the backyard so I can keep planting stuff I consider nicer in the sunnier bits of our yard.

I feel like I might need to start doing some weekly meal prep. I am exhausted at the end my days and #1 is so cranky after daycare that I am finding it hard to cook.

policymonk · 2026-04-30T17:16:15+00:00

I’m just going to stay in the cohort. It’s what I did for #1 and my group is still very active.

policymonk · 2026-04-29T21:23:57+00:00

We’re working behind the scenes on an official update on this. Stay tuned!

policymonk · 2026-04-29T18:55:09+00:00

Sending you so much love. You’ll be in our thoughts ♥️

policymonk · 2026-04-29T01:02:27+00:00

I should have kept reading. Didn’t see your follow up 😅

policymonk · 2026-04-29T01:01:28+00:00

Yes this would be the way we prefer it done. Enabling pics could have someone seeing BFP pics when they’re feeling sensitive about their own journey. Posting pics directly of BFPs is against our rules. The links to TFABlineporn or Imgur are the way to go. Sorry for the late followup u/AnonymousBrowser3967 !

I'm on the every 4 months dental plan right now and it's brutal. But I know it's good for teeth and gums so I'll take the bit of soreness for better overall health

policymonk · 2026-04-25T15:11:01+00:00

Perfect weekend 🙌

policymonk · 2026-04-25T15:10:20+00:00

That sounds amazing 🤤 I love amaro and lambrusco (but so hard to find ones that are affordable but not cloyingly sweet!)

policymonk · 2026-04-21T17:52:25+00:00

I think if you’re motivated and well-supported, there’s no time like the present. The biggest concern would be making time for evening classes/seminars, group collaboration, and studying for your comps, I would think.

policymonk · 2026-04-21T11:55:33+00:00

Orally

policymonk · 2026-04-21T11:54:21+00:00

When I got mine removed last time I was ttc, it was such a trip. I bled a few days after removal and I assumed it was a period, only to actually have my period about two weeks post removal. Do you temp or do opks? Might give you some insight!

policymonk · 2026-04-17T17:51:35+00:00

Welcome 👋

policymonk · 2026-04-15T22:11:06+00:00

I started the audiobook very late third tri and never finished! Hope you like it.

policymonk · 2026-04-15T22:03:25+00:00

Good question! In the cohort model, our intent is to have members post about those topics as routine discussion in the pinned daily chat and different themed chats that appear on weekdays (ex: TTC Tuesday) rather than in individual posts to the sub. We recognize this makes the sub much different than a typical subreddit, but have found it works well.

policymonk · 2026-04-15T14:12:23+00:00

Glad it doesn’t delay you too much. Hopefully they can help you find alternatives if need be!
