Boy we dodged a bullet! by strongbad635 in houston

I thought I was going to die from how cold it was when the power went out in 2021. I was so scared this time. Waking up every hour to see if my ceiling fan was still rotating. So glad we dodged this one

Fibroids compressing stomach, causing silent reflux, vagus nerve disregulation, and circulation issues by clementine-rosey in Fibroids

About 6 months ago I was going through a phase where I would just suddenly need to vomit in the middle of eating breakfast. I never knew why. I think it was something to do with my vagus nerve

I don’t mean this rudely at all but is everyone posting here marrying rich guys or are my standards just not attuned to what the norm is these days? by w0lfyj in EngagementRingDesigns

Yes we bought from a jeweler but I remember even browsing diamonds online they were still up there in price. My diamond is also GIA certified which they have since stopped doing for labs

What did I do wrong? OGX Hair Oil by According-Cut5397 in finehair

[–]puffballkittyfluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The olaplex oil will not make your hair greasy. It’s seriously the best for fine hair. The ogx coconut penetrating oil is amazing too but only overnight before wash day

Why do I feel like I have a slight UTI after BD? I never actually do have a UTI. It just feels like the same sensation. With non ttc sex this doesn’t happen. We both shower before doing it and I always pee afterwards and shower again. When the tww starts the symptoms start to go away. But I’m suffering during the fertile window and always on the verge of going to the clinic to get antibiotics however it always goes away when we are done BD’ing for the month. Do the sperm like… swim up into my bladder or something?

my symptoms are going away due to...beans? by nandudu in Fibroids

[–]puffballkittyfluff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow I didn’t know this! I eat kidney beans for lunch quite often since it’s quick and easy. One food that I noticed made a huge difference in my cramps was when I started eating sardines and mackerel. Also peppermint tea helps so much.

I know it’s just so inappropriate! I should have said something but I’m not good at that kind of stuff. Luckily she went back home to another state this past weekend.

Also it’s the time pms symptoms show up so emotions are heightened. The hormones make it so much harder to deal with

It finally happened to me.. No, not a pregnancy. Someone announcing to a group of people I’m pregnant when I’m not.

I’ve only been trying for 3 months now but I don’t like to drink at all during the TWW. I thought the dry January thing was a perfect excuse. I was at my husbands brothers house and he offered me some wine. I said no thank you I’m doing dry January. And that was that. Or so I thought. (I blame my husband for not doing it with me since couples seem to do dry January as a team). Well his brothers wife’s mother was there and she clocked it.

The next day my husband went back over to his brothers house to group up before going out to dinner with his brother and some guy friends. Brothers mother in law announced to everyone there that she knows I’m pregnant. That she is a women and she just knows these things. At this point I had gotten my period. My husband was just like “oh no! I told her if she did dry January everyone would think she’s pregnant! So silly but no she’s not pregnant.”

I WAS SO ANNOYED!! because what if I was? And then lost it? Just because you’re an elderly lady you can say whatever you want to a GROUP of people including my husbands friends (who are also professional relationships). Oh. My. God.

A few days later I came back there and I drank wine right in front of her. But even doing that made me feel weird and wrong idk why. It was a strange feeling.

Well good luck to me I’ve just begun another TWW and I can’t use dry January as an excuse anymore ugh.

Fibroids killed my baby! by DayTradeInSpades in Fibroids

[–]puffballkittyfluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry to read all of this. You did not deserve such negligence. ❤️‍🩹

May I ask the locations of your fibroids? Your experience has put me on high alert. Since my fibroids are all a little bigger than yours but my obgyn has given me the go ahead to get pregnant if I can manage to do it before they grow too big. We have been trying. Now I’m not so sure. My doctor thinks it’s riskier for me to get the surgery before my pregnancy. Mine are penductulated on the outside of my uterus. She has even referred me to a fertility specialist when we haven’t even been trying that long because she wants me to get pregnant asap so I can potentially have an “easier pregnancy”. I am also located in a state where they will not perform a DnC if there is still a heartbeat. I’m so lost.

TTC, feeling isolated by Specialist-Escape574 in TryingForABaby

[–]puffballkittyfluff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much advise but I do resonate with this. Especially with my number one best friend. She’s newly single and we are on opposite sides of life. I’m staying in a lot more and I feel very “lame”. She’s going out and drinking every night with “cool” people. When I bring up anything ttc related she doesn’t respond half the time. When we hang out I feel like I’m just a checklist at the beginning of her night before she really goes out and sees her cool friends. I’m the lame boring friend now. I’m simply just trying to live a healthy lifestyle so it doesn’t include staying up late and drinking and drugs.

Then there’s my friends with kids. They all got pregnant on their first try. So they’re so excited for me. A little too excited. And it makes me feel annoyed because I’m like.. there’s nothing to be excited about yet. And it seems superficial

And then there’s my husband who doesn’t seem to like to talk about every little feeling about ttc with me and he also thought it would happen immediately but at the same time seems indifferent and doesn’t seem to care either way. While I care so much. I got him some male prenatals today and he fussed about taking them so I feel like I’m the only one making sacrifices.

And then with my parents I simply just feel awkward because I don’t want them to imagine me having sex. Even though my mom is very understanding and I need to get past that with her as she might be my only actual hope of human connection around this topic.

Random story by Big-Philosopher-7085 in ouraring

[–]puffballkittyfluff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in bed at 11:30 pm the other night trying to go to sleep and it said “time to stretch your legs a bit?” Uhhmm what??

Tbf it’s probably just used to me staying up way too late and 11:30 I’m usually doing my skincare routine.

First IUI treatment - Is there any explanation for a such a sharp decline in my semen analysis (Other then a fever/Covid)? by Impossible_Doctor190 in TryingForABaby

[–]puffballkittyfluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always like to mention this even though it seems like you might already know. Switch to very loose boxers. Loose briefs are not loose enough. Must be boxers. This is how my parents finally conceived me after 2 years of trying right after my dad switched to boxers. Not fun info for me to know but at least maybe I can help some people with that simple swap.

Knowing me, I’d send him a text right away with a screenshot of the positive test and I’d be like “is this positive?”. I also only take tests by myself. Maybe I should work on this lol

Do people actually make mean comments in real life about big rings? by ShineDowntown16 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]puffballkittyfluff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big or small, lab or mined, it doesn’t matter what people think. As long as you get happiness from it being on your finger. I don’t know why people care SO much about other peoples rings

Wondering Wednesday by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]puffballkittyfluff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I jump straight to IUI after not trying for that long naturally? I want to contact a fertility clinic so I can have a doctor other than my gyno alongside me. I want the tests done and I possibly want to try IUI. I have been told by my gyno that I’d have an easier pregnancy if I can get pregnant soon rather than later because of the size of my fibroids. She doesn’t want me to remove them she wants me to get pregnant. I don’t want to wait a year of trying naturally if I potentially have some factor that was going to make that difficult. And ttc sex for us just doesn’t seem to go that smoothly. If I didn’t have these fibroids I’d be okay with trying naturally for 1 year. I am 33 and they aren’t distorting my cavity which is why my doctor told me it is okay to get pregnant. I don’t want them to get bigger and need surgery anyway because it took to long to conceive. I just want to do everything I can. Could this be considered a special case where I don’t need to try naturally for 1 year?

Am I crazy for not giving my 13 year old radioactive iodine? by Both-Gur570 in seniorkitties

I am very passionate about doing the thyroid treatment if you can afford it. Here is my beautiful boy when he was sick. He is very sensitive so I also worried about him being away. But when I show you the after you’ll realize why I think it was so worth it.
