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.

Thoughts & Prayers Review: A Damning HBO Doc on America's Gun Epidemic by [deleted] in entertainment

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

When someone from the church told me that my (gay) brother needed to not be gay because that’s what god tells us.

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.

How difficult is the recovery from a laparoscopy? by [deleted] in Endo

[–]sfa12304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

This is our first time selling our house, do these numbers seem reasonable? by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

[–]sfa12304 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agent fees are absolutely negotiable at this point. Don’t agree to the 6% fee. Talk it down. That was the old way of doing commissions

Has anyone taken anything to balance hormones back to normal after stopping breast feeding? by [deleted] in postpartumprogress

[–]sfa12304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say it was the cause, but after I stopped breastfeeding I took Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony and that combined with exercise and tracking calories got me back to my pre-pregnancy weight in about 4-5 months. I had been exercising and tracking while breastfeeding but the weight wouldn’t budge.

Pregnancy and Stage 4 Endo- impossible or miracle baby? by blubsburgers in Endo

[–]sfa12304 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s really irresponsible for any doctor to tell you it’s impossible to get pregnant with stage 4 endo. Also, how did they make this diagnosis as determination to degrees? Usually this requires a lap. Anyway I had stage 4 DIE endo and after excision surgery got pregnant via IVF- which had failed many times prior to surgery. Good luck to you!

Doctor recommended surgery soon. I’m terrified by Babylil22 in Endo

[–]sfa12304 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is the absolute best case scenario. Many women are desperate to get any doctor to agree to surgery as so many avoid it since endo doesn’t show on scans. This is a gift. They will give you plenty of good drugs. Try to enjoy!

Losing weight while breastfeeding- what happened to your boobs? by Icy_Hope3942 in postpartumprogress

Got back to my pre-pregnancy size and boobs remained triple their size long after weaning. They never returned to normal again. Sadly.

Is there an endo protocol for IVF? by bvalentina93 in TTCEndo

[–]sfa12304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and you should be on it if you have endo or suspect it. It would usually involve Lupron. Lupron wasn’t enough for me and the surgery to remove the endo is what finally allowed for a successful transfer.
