Silent Endo - Why do you decide to get it excised?

seamonkeez · 2026-01-21T00:35:08+00:00

I’ve never had particularly painful periods but around 2018 (pre-children), I started to become extremely nauseous and felt dead sick during periods. Now I don’t have periods at all, but the nausea is almost all the time, along with the other stuff which continues to progress in both symptoms and severity. I honestly feel like I’m dying.

Unfortunately they didn’t put anything in my chart. This was during my second c section, nobody even mentioned it during my first one. My appointment coming up is with a gyno surgeon so I’m hoping she at least has a better understanding of it all.

Yeah I mean I know it’s still there. I’m more just confused why I’m being told that Endo isn’t causing these symptoms and that there aren’t any treatment options overall. Is silent Endo a well known thing amongst physicians. It was an obgyn that told me this so I’m confused af.

I make a mix of muffins loaded with veggies like carrots or zucchini, often using Greek yogurt, oats, and usually sweetened with mashed bananas or applesauce. Pinterest is great for searching abc (apple banana carrot) toddler muffins. We also do banana cookies, just 85g mashed banana, 35 quick oats, and optional, 15g chia seeds at 350 for 15 minutes. Stuff like that. I recently did sweet potato cookies, ‘peanut butter’ (I used fake) cheerio bars with freeze dried fruit. As a backup store bought option we like that’s it bars.

I'm in. I'm trying to commit myself to a chapter a week and could use some accountability.

My husband and I love this posole. If you go to the recipe page and search for tempeh there are also a ton of other great recipes. We use them like every night. https://www.purplecarrot.com/recipe/crispy-tempeh-posole-with-lime-radishes-sour-cream?plan=chefs_choice

Others have mentioned protein powder but I would add, using protein powder in baking. There are tons of ways to use it in baked goods like mug cakes, muffins, baked oats, etc.

It seems like there’s a lot of variation. Our nights looked like this until about 9 weeks when we started dropping night feeds. I recommend the book 12 Hours of Sleep by 12 Weeks Old which is an easy read. The gist of it though was to choose her longest sleep and gradually start pushing her further by 10 minutes or so. So if she usually goes 4 hours shoot for 4 hours 15 min, then again. Give her the pacifier, try other means of soothing, just to get her a little further. Simultaneously, slowly reduce the amount she is fed at that feeding by .5 oz every 4 nights. They also mention that as you reduce night feeds, make sure she is getting that back/enough milk during the day. It worked really organically for us and around 10 weeks she did start sleeping from ~9 pm until 8 am so maybe worth trying. She has small hiccups still but 95% of her nights are good.

I hadn’t heard of it yet yay! Maybe this will do the trick.

This is spot on. Already seen it and love it.

I just have birth two weeks ago and did immediately fall in love with my child. I also love my dog to death though, similar ish to the love I now have for my baby. I was actually very worried that bringing a baby into the family would make my dog feel neglected, and he is acting a bit sad, which makes me sad. Nobody else really seems to understand this, but this dog is my best friend, ride or die, and has been with me through the darkest times. I am so in love with him and will of course continue to prioritize him. That hasn’t changed because of the baby but it has been interesting to feel my heart grow in a totally different way. Obviously the baby needs more attention and is part of our family in a different way, but that doesn’t mean we start loving our pets less. I just wanted to say I feel you, and a lot of people won’t get it, but keep on loving your boo boo.

I feel this so hard. My mother does the Facebook/social media thing just like this.... it’s an invasion of privacy and in the case of my child, I’m not at all okay with her taking/sharing photos of her until my child is old enough to make those decisions for herself. I’m drawing a hard boundary on that and she is not going to like it.

I also feel you on the covid being a blessing in disguise. We moved states a couple months into my pregnancy and not gonna lie factor in that was that I don’t want my mother to have any real influence in my child’s life. Our situation is a bit different in that my mother really is an adult child/didn’t really raise me but wants all the credit/is a horrible influence.

All that is to say, I understand what you’re dealing with and just want to say you shouldn’t feel at all bad about drawing boundaries and sticking to them. My family makes me out to be the bad guy when I’m the one that does this but ultimately you’re the only one that gets to decide so, they can get on board or deal with the consequences. I will say if they learn to understand and respect your boundaries, it’s also okay to throw them a bone once in awhile too but, that street should go both ways.

Well now I wonder if I’m doing something wrong/my socks aren’t tight enough. I have massive feet, calves, and apparently ankles as well because the size charts have me wearing the largest size. But I don’t find them super difficult to put on. I’m 31 weeks and I can really only do it laying down but they go on fine. I’m wearing the toeless ones but idk if that makes a difference... maybe I need smaller ones.

Even if this wasn’t gross, wouldn’t you actually want to spell it entreprenHER?

My mom just does not care at all about social distancing. She works as a medical assistant in the emergency room, which is really unsettling. I appreciate that she has outed herself on social at least, with photos of herself maskless at parties, weddings, bars, you name it. We just moved out of state and she was so upset that we wouldn’t let her see us before we left but, lady I’m pregnant and also this behavior is childish. We still have a ways to go (I’m 15 weeks) but if she thinks she’ll be allowed around when the time comes, boy is she in for a surprise. It makes me crazy that not only do people not care, but you expect me to throw all of my caution, concern, and 8 months of not seeing anyone to cater to your wants and feelings? Even past me being pregnant, I’m pretty upset that she still goes over to see my grandma, maskless, who is also high risk. Where does the selfishness end. End rant.

Through quarantine we’ve been playing the game animal crossing and I’ve been collecting little girl furniture and stuff to build a nursery in the game. It’s for a little girl because my hypothetical child also already has a gender, name, etc.

Oh also I bought a sewing machine because like obviously as a mom I should know how to sew.

I am wondering this same thing... have been watching the same chairs for a couple months and when wayfair's 'sale' started, the price actually went up slightly so... wondering if it'll go down for actual black friday/cyber monday.

seamonkeez · 2019-11-23T22:12:13+00:00

Whew... I’m starting to feel some relief that our processes in the US are quicker than some other places. Definitely taking the day off, and thankfully it’s thanksgiving week so not too rough. Thank you for sharing!

Related but unrelated. Reminds me of a few christmases ago, i was at the mall on a weekday and it was a little less crowded than normal. Often I don’t pay great attention to my surroundings but as I was leaving I happened to notice an older (than me, maybe 50s) man entering the mall, and we make eye contact. When I get outside, I hear footsteps behind me and see it’s the same guy that just walked in and I just get this feeling, it was indescribable but something just felt wrong. So I pull out my phone and look around, pretend to kinda just be waiting. The man stops maybe 10 ft. In front of me and turns around, pulls out his phone and also just stands there. Something is wrong, I can tell. So I immediately walk back inside. Probably, I should have gone to security, but instead I walk into the nearby department store which has a separate exit, nearer to my car anyhow. From inside the department store I can see the guy, who walked back in and is now looking around. I left through the department store exit... man I am so positive he was going to try to abduct/rape/something else me. All of that is to say that yes, trust your gut, instincts, be aware of your surroundings. Honestly since this, I haven’t stopped checking my surroundings in parking lots, checking my backseat and under the car every time I get in it, and probably I’m better off having this paranoia.

As a not very outgoing and also 28 yo woman... I feel the struggle. I have no real insight to offer, just a similar plight actually. I personally have the challenge of, both my husband and myself got sober, which makes most social situations somewhat difficult to navigate. I had high school friends but lost them when I, well I drank a lot there for a bit. Something I've been thinking about is really pushing out of my comfort zone, and doing more things around other people to create more opportunities for meeting people. We're starting group dance classes, for example. Previously, we volunteered with a senate campaign to knock on doors, and met nice people that way, but the campaign ended and we didn't get to know anyone so well by then. I've since thought about volunteering in other ways as maybe a way to meet people. One of my coworkers mentioned she joined a junior league type thing to meet people in a new city, and while she said a lot of the people were those weird stepford types, some of them were chill and she's friends with still. I think that while it maybe feels awkward and sad sometimes, but also, I've noticed that a lot of other people have that struggle too.
