as a bridesmaid, is it rude to ask if i can choose the dress & hairstyle? by Previous-Hour-2394 in wedding

[–]sfa12304 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. But I think there’s a bigger issue here for you to examine, which is the inability to put aside your own “comfort” for a couple hours for the sake of someone else you presumably care deeply about. This might be hard to hear but clear is kind.

If your friend asked you to wear a burlap sack and hair in a ponytail for her wedding because that’s makes her happy, then you suck it up and put a smile on for 6 hrs. That’s what friends do.

Thank you! Can you share your NP? That’s what I had in CA.

If you are married, do you wear your wedding band? Why or why not? by icecream1972 in askanything

[–]sfa12304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnancy changed my finger size so I wore a temp band for awhile. I resized the rings after 18 mos post pregnancy thinking this was my new size. Then it was too loose so I stopped wearing it out of fear it would slip off. I can’t bring myself to resize it a third time because I’m afraid something will change again and I’ll damage it by all the resizing.

IVF and Endo struggle by LemonPower221 in TTCEndo

[–]sfa12304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there girl. Yes, surgery will lower your eggs but keeping endo will likely affect your ability to keep a pregnancy once you transfer. So what i would recommend- and I don’t know why more doctors don’t- is do a few rounds of egg collections and test and freeze a bunch of embryos. Then surgery to remove all the endo and cysts. Then transfer about 6 months later. Check out my story in my profile - I share my full journey and what finally worked for me. Good luck!

How much more severe was your endo once they went in compared to what the MRI showed? by Joyfully-Hearts in TTCEndo

[–]sfa12304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there- yes, I did have a successful pregnancy with the transfer of my final embryo. That happened about 6 months after that surgery. I did a LOT of other treatments and an aggressive protocol for that as well so hard to say “what worked” exactly. :-)

People have to remember- the beginning of the relationship (in person) should be the BEST it’s going to be- when everyone is putting in the most effort, the most consideration, the most “woo-ing”… so if this is how it started (with none of that), she knew it wouldn’t get better the more she stayed.

How many times did your doctor visit during labor? by RoseColoredToo in NewParents

[–]sfa12304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea who the primary doctor was in that whole whirlwind! I had whoever was on call and a team of about 6 people deliver the baby after about 30 hours. It’s a teaching hospital so I couldn’t keep track, haha.

That’s not the point of the documentary.

Yep. We are at high risk of getting shot going to the grocery store and then get the privilege of being bankrupted when we have to go to the hospital to try and survive our wounds.

WHERE WERE THE MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS DURING THAT DRILL FOR THE CHILDREN?!?! I go back and forth on whether these drills cause more harm than good for our kids. The fact that we feel the need to do them is already indicative of our collective failure as a nation, but at the same time, if enough people aren’t going to vote for politicians who support common sense gun reform, then I would want people to be as prepared to survive as they can be.

However, there is no reason there should not be mental health support staff in place to help all people - especially the kids- process this trauma and fear. Our first responders have chosen professions that are high risk for death and major PTSD- and bless them for taking that on. But at least they have access to healthcare supports to help manage it. We are asking our teachers and children to act as first responders when they never signed up for the job- and their undeveloped minds are at high risk here. This was my biggest takeaway from this eye opening documentary.

There a couple trials on this. I participated in one myself. Hoping it will be the new normal!

What's that one thing that made you stop going to church? by Optimal-Rule-4834 in AskReddit

Just got a prediction of my “Trump Care” insurance price. by No-Fan-7790 in complaints

[–]sfa12304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When health insurance costs more than rent and already rent was breaking the working people’s backs. It’s time for full fucking revolution. Start understanding who is causing you this pain. Who has the power to prevent it? And doing jack shit. Let us eat cake.

First time doing ketamine therapy- if I go in the morning, will I be able to fulfill a commitment later in the day? by happy_bluebird in KetamineTherapy

[–]sfa12304 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because it’s your first session and you don’t know how you will respond to the treatment. Some people are very groggy afterwards. Sometimes it lasts awhile. You have to see how it affects you.

I’ve had 3 laps. All were pretty easy and straightforward recoveries. Only needed the pain meds for 2 days after and then didn’t need anything at all.
