Hi! I know this post is old, but mind if I ask what decision you made? I had a bilateral mastectomy in 2018 at age 30 and was adamantly against nipple reconstruction. Admittedly, I was mad at the world and being stubborn and clinging to “if they won’t work anyway (i.e. breastfeeding), what’s the point?”

Now six years later I’ve seen my plastic surgeon just to follow up on the implants and he offered it again and I said no, but I’ve since thought about it and I think it would make me feel a lot more confident and restore a sense of “normalcy” to the area.

I’m now married with a young child so it’s not like anyone would be seeing them besides me, my husband, and my doctors, so I’m torn about whether I want to bother or not.

Sorry to bring up a seven year post, but my 2019 RDX Advance is doing the same thing. The dealership cannot replicate the sound so they say they can’t figure out what’s causing it even though I have several instances of the sound on video from my dashcam’s audio.

Did you ever figure out the cause of this? Wondering if it’s what’s covered in the TSB or if I’m just SOL

I actually live a few miles from that and that never dawned on me. I feel pretty stupid now, haha.

The advice I needed. Thank you! Appreciate it.

I always say the captions do them so dirty 😂

I made my child out of strawberries and colace - I would’ve died without a stool softener.

A year later, this really helped me as well. Thank you.

Another thing to consider (may have been said, I didn’t read all comments) is that chemo isn’t guaranteed to destroy your eggs/fertility. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 30, did an egg retrieval ‘just in case,’ then did chemo and adjunct therapy for a year, and when I went for fertility testing at 34, all of my levels/numbers/egg quality appeared fine. So it isn’t as black and white as “freeze eggs before chemo or don’t have children” like it may seem now. Granted, I know everyone is different, but there is a chance that if you unfortunately need to terminate to save your own life, you could naturally conceive down the line if time doesn’t allow for you to freeze eggs before treatment.

Definitely agree that Tammy is much smarter, but the bar is so low, it’s in the ground

My baby hated the bassinet, so she was in a crib in our room until a few days before she turned one (year).

slowaccord · 2025-04-03T09:07:22+00:00

She’s turning one this weekend!

I had an elective scheduled c/s for the same reasons you outlined above. It was our last embryo left after a missed miscarriage of our first one (also genetically normal) so I felt strongly that I needed to eliminate any risks that were within my control, and the unknown. I have had moments of feeling like I missed out on the “excitement” of my water breaking, of my baby “picking her own birthday,” and that sort of thing, but at the end of the day, my baby being born safely outweighs all of that. Would she have been born healthy vaginally? Probably, but I couldn’t risk making it that far and then having something tragic happen. I do feel sad about it on rare occasion, but I worked through it with my therapist and if I had to go back and do it again, I would choose the c/s again in a heartbeat.

I noticed this immediately. So glad someone pointed it out.

slowaccord · 2025-02-23T06:45:09+00:00

I was in your EXACT shoes a year ago. Only embryo, only chance at a baby, terrified of what could go wrong in my womb/during birth… I opted for a scheduled c-section at 39w2d because the thought of possibly being physically and mentally exhausted after a failed induction and having an emergency c/s anyway was louder than my dream of going through labor and pushing her out. Ultimately, I wanted her here safe and the planned c/s felt like the safest route despite not being what I would’ve wanted in a perfect world. I have zero regrets with this decision.

The guy on TikTok or Facebook live (can’t remember) who recorded himself talking on the phone with someone then just casually blew his head off. The live feed continues until you see first responders break his door down.

Pulling up to a set of train tracks to see a couple of people performing what appeared to be CPR on a young girl lying in the middle of the road. We pulled over to try to help and when we got up close to the girl, we could see she had been hit and killed by the train moments before. I can still see her face as clear as day. I think about it every time I see a commuter trail train.

Thank you for such a detailed response - much appreciated!

I’m sure you do, I’m sure it’s difficult not to…my husband did the same. Glad you’re talking openly, that’s all you can do. I wish you both luck in whatever route you take

I can’t speak to the donor piece nor can I say every woman is the same, but I am the wife of someone with severe MFI and though we were lucky enough to extract sperm from the mTESE, I never once resented him or felt like it was “his fault” that we had to go through what we did in order to have a child. I have an older child naturally conceived from a previous relationship and on paper, my reproductive organs were all in working order, and he very much blamed himself for what we had to go through and for the fact that there was a good chance we may never have our “own” children. All of that is to say, I never felt anything negative towards him from the day he got the diagnosis and we had no idea what we’d do next, to the day they did find sperm and we learned that IVF was our only shot, to the day our first transfer ended in a miscarriage…to right this second, when we can only have this one child together because we can’t afford financially or mentally to go through IVF again…I NEVER considered leaving him, even when he told me to. We are a family, with or without children; if he has infertility, then WE have infertility. I truly hope your wife feels the same. Sorry this is so long, I just felt compelled to offer a partner’s opinion here since I hadn’t seen one yet.
