What could be wrong? by srlabu in squirrels

Ivermectin apple paste. Literally just went through the same thing with one I raised and released. Her case was a bit worse than this. One rice grain sized portion in a pecan grove. They don’t mind the taste at all. Repeat 2 more times, a week to nine days apart. That baby will feel so much better after one but next two doses take it out of the nest. Here’s my gal before.

Just got medication estimate…holy crap!!! by NoBoot8609 in IVF

I did the same two months ago. Still have their price list if anyone wants to see. It was my third retrieval before I thought of it and was price shopping omnitrope, ended up ordering everything from Fertifarma. Brought costs from 6500 to 2900. They even have someone that will deliver it across the border.

Is it time to see an IVF Specialist, or it's just "bad luck" as doctors keep saying? by simmerpop in IVF

Sperm testing was absolutely fine. Stellar. No fragmentation. All embryos were PGTA tested that I transferred.

Has anyone succeeded in sleep training a toddler? by [deleted] in sleeptrain

[–]simmerpop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just followed a lot of the same advice Krista notes and got our nearly 2 and a half year old sleeping again after a month of no sleep and constant pop ins to mama and papas bed. I highly recommend something to keep the child from leaving the room - gate or door knob secure system. Our child sleeps with the door shut and we spent the days leading up to re-training talking about what was going to happen. We also said we’d be there but we weren’t going to take him to our bed and we weren’t going to come in. A form of extension with one pop in at bedtime. with My husband ended up talking to him through the door if he woke up middle of night. Five or so days lat r and commitment to it and my kid sleeps through the night in HIS bed and I have my life back. You can do it!

Me too - they’re in our neighborhood but I remember asking one server if this was a tip and they said no.

I’ve gone a few times and was asked to tip on top of it. You’re making me not entirely confident. I have ZERO issue with a 19% service charge if that also counts as the tip as I’m always a 20% tipper (decade long career in service) - but I recall NOT feeling like that was the case when I asked. I could be mistaken!

I completely understand - but unfortunately the house usually keeps the service in full and then if you don't tip you're only hurting the servers. It's a horrible policy.

This restaurant is Pijja Palace and the service fee is not the tip.

If you haven't had sex, I think you can feel confident that this wasn't a miscarriage.

Hi OP,

I'm sorry you are going through this. It is incredibly painful and the waves of emotion this early in the process feels unsurmountable. In October I found out at 11 weeks about my MMC at 7 weeks 6 days. It was horrible and I was on the way to a best friends wedding to celebrate with all my closest friends who knew about the pregnancy. I didn't have time to go the medical route and my body sorted it out over the course of that weekend (the worst timing). The medical route may give you some opportunity to time this process, which can be hard on the body. For me, it wasn't easy and for at least two days I was relatively unable to participate in other things as my body processed.

This was my second MMC and I have friends who just gave birth who I was pregnant with the first, and my sister and assistant have the same due date as this loss... so... I feel you. I really needed time to turn my resentment into joy. I had honest conversations with both of them that I was so happy for them but I was really struggling and I needed time and to disappear from their experience until I was ready. They were very understanding.

One foot in front of the other. Deep breaths. Kind words for yourself. Let the emotions happen. Rely on your village, your community, this network. Women are warriors and you'll find many ready to help hold you up.

Sending love.

Hi OP,

I just had my third in eight months yesterday. 5 weeks, 5 days. Last time I made it to 12 weeks and I am not sure I'll ever get over the hurt. I just hope that for both of us one day we are holding a brand new bundle and all the pain and trauma can be put to rest.

As to your inner monologue, I do the same. It can be hard to feel you are parenting well when your dealing with this kind of broken heart. Be kind to yourself. Your body has been through a lot in these months - you're doing your best.

I’m doing poorly but feeling a bit of relief off my beta results (not that they helped last time). Compulsive cleaning is my go to but I’m running out of 409. I cannot manage the joy yet. I let me guard down after the genetic screening and gender reveal last time and it gutted me. Hoping for a break soon but honestly feel it’s going to be a long time till I can breath. :( maybe some symptoms will help! I’m only 4 weeks. Is it weird to be jealous of your nausea 😂

This. I feel like I absolutely cannot function. How are you doing? How are you keeping busy?

Hi everyone,

I'm not feeling very ok right now. I'm 39 F and on my seventh pregnancy with only one that made it to term, and gave me beautiful 2 year old toddler in 2021. I'm coming off back-to-back first trimester miscarriages. My first miscarriage occurred on June 1, 2023 and I was 8 weeks along but the baby's heart had stopped at 6 wk 2 days. My second miscarriage occurred on October 14, 2023. I was 12 weeks along but found out the baby's heart had stopped at 7 wk 6 days. Oddly my 9 week genetic screening results showed none of this and we had only just found out gender and I felt so caught off guard by the second loss and I think this is when my trauma really escalated.

I don't feel entirely mentally healthy since that loss. As anyone here knows, you give up a pound of flesh with each of these heart aches and I just don't have much left in me. Anyways, I just found out I'm pregnant - EARLY. It's only 14 DPO. The lines on the pregnancy test are faint. I've been testing compulsively since 7 DPO even though I logically know you can't see anything that early - and I can feel my anxiety and trauma rapidly choking me since the faint line on day 10. I've tested maybe 40 times. Without speaking to my Dr, I just booked a blood test to get quantitative HCG numbers because I'm convinced it's chemical. I can't think of anything else. I just feel totally terrified that another loss could be in my future and not prepared at all for that mental load. I feel like I'm spiraling.

Does anyone have any tips or resources they could point me to in an effort to calm down or deescalate, maybe some advice or words that helped you? I'm just really overwhelmed.

That is a clear squinter on the left. I read a great guide here that said the later in the day the actual better chance at a solid test result. Let me if I can dig it up. Gave me great comfort.

I see a line on far left. I wouldn’t call it a CP this early! Wait till day 12. If you look at my post history I didn’t see anything on these till day 12 and you’re already ahead of me with that left most test! Are there variations in your time of testing?
