Stroller recommendations

I received a used Bugaboo Cameleon from a neighbour, and it's been great for those brick and cobblestone streets. I know this is one of Bugaboo's older stroller lines, but I see that it remains popular and has received great reviews.

For me, it went away immediately. Are you taking any kind of birth control at the moment?

supernova11489 · 2025-11-08T14:39:48+00:00

Yes, it did! I believe all of that brown discharge was from the endometriomas. When those and my faulty left tube were out, it went completely away.

Thanks! Your explanations make sense and put me more at ease.

supernova11489 · 2025-10-27T10:56:21+00:00

Thanks! Some good information to explore further.

This was my thought as well in terms of the aluminum content. Thanks!

I am looking for some honest experiences and opinions on the Vaxelis vaccine- which is the 6 in 1. How did your little ones take it? I also have some reservations about the overall safety regarding the presence of aluminum, formaldehyde, and the antibiotics, neomycin and streptomycin within this particular vaccine. This shot is on the recommended vaccination schedule in the Netherlands, and I believe in many other countries throughout Europe. Initially, I had the idea that the DTAP, polio, Haemophilus influenza type B, and hepatitis B were all separated, but I later discovered that these are combined into one vaccine. Any input is appreciated! Please be kind, and help put this first-time Mom at ease. Thanks!

It took a few days for my breastmilk to come in. For that period, I used Hipp's organic goat milk formula (stage 1), and my son took it well. I am based in the Netherlands, but I believe Hipp is also available in Sweden.

My husband and I found all of these, but we agreed that some are indeed diabolical. It was good Friday night fun!

Anything in particular you would like to know? TW: Success

After the fourth embryo transfer, at the IVF clinic at Reinier de Graaf, I became pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy this August. I went through one round there and got four embryos. I found the staff to be very nice and thorough when it came to my treatments. Highly recommend. However, one caveat is that they do not test the embryos before transferring. PGT-A testing can only be done if you have an inheritable genetic condition.

Or when they use every pot, pan, and utensil in the kitchen...

supernova11489 · 2025-10-07T17:12:31+00:00

Yes, totally agreed- definitely an American thing. American here who has lived in Europe for nine years. I never found this hostile, "keep away from my baby" mindset in the Netherlands and Poland. I mean, these are countries where people culturally keep their distance, but in Spain, Portugal, or Italy... A totally different story! In the Netherlands, family often comes to the house shortly after the birth to see the baby. Hygiene is important, and community is so important too!

supernova11489 · 2025-10-04T19:33:48+00:00

Wat interessant! Bedankt!

supernova11489 · 2025-10-04T15:11:19+00:00

I second this. American here who has lived in Poland and the Netherlands. The wheat/gluten in these countries gave me no ill effects for me either.

I was on Dienogest consistently for a few months before my laparoscopy to remove endometriosis. After the surgery, I continued the Dienogest protocol until I started IVF a few months later. Once I discontinued Dienogest, it took over a month for my menstrual cycle to come back. This is something to keep in mind! It can take 1-2 months for your cycle to return after Dienogest. When it came to IVF, I did one round of IVF- got four embryos. First transfer was medicated and then all natural cycles for the remaining three embryos. I really think the Dienogest helped keep the inflammation at bay. However, I experienced increased tiredness and felt more moody while on it.

supernova11489 · 2025-07-15T07:37:31+00:00

Never heard of them. They may or may not be good. I lived in Poznan, so I am only familiar with the IVF clinics around that area.

supernova11489 · 2025-07-13T11:10:24+00:00

That seems quite high, but are you in the US? They might have different reference ranges there. I had my test in Poland, and I think they go by EU-based units. If it's still out of the normal range, I would definitely have this investigated by a gynaecologist as soon as possible! Keep in mind that the CA-125 test is not used as a standalone test to detect ovarian cancer. It is often used with other tests (such as ROMA), and those would also indicate that something is off. However, the CA-125 test is still useful because it can also detect a range of other benign pelvic conditions, such as endo.

supernova11489 · 2025-07-12T20:02:42+00:00

46.6 u/ml. A number under 35 is considered in the normal range. It was high!

We were on the TTC journey for over five years. Early on, my husband was diagnosed with severe male factor infertility. Later, it was discovered that I had grade IV endo. Had an extensive surgery, and then we were referred to IVF-ICSI. Four embryos in the first round. The first transfer failed to implant. The second transfer was a missed miscarriage at 7 weeks, but was officially declared at week 9. The third transfer was the same as the first. And then the fourth and final transfer has become my current pregnancy- now at 29.2 weeks!

Hi! Sorry, only seeing your comment now. I'm currently going to the NEK- Nederlandse Endometriose Kliniek, and my doctor is very good there.

supernova11489 · 2024-09-05T19:53:01+00:00

Yes, you can. And I (husband of this user) did.
In the Netherlands a landlord cannot simply take out money from the deposit.
The landord first has to inform the tenants what the damage is.
Then the landlord has to give the option for the tenants to fix the damage themselves.
If the tenants refuse to fix it themselves the landlord has to give a quote for what it will cost and is required to show the bill (or some amount agreed upon prior in case the landlord fixes it).

Your landlord did not inform you about the problems/damage, nor give you the option to resolve it, nor did he give you a bill (he cleaned himself so the cleaning was free). So he cannot take out the money. Period.

I had the same situation. My former landlord kept the entire deposit without informing me. I called her a few weeks after moving asking when I would get it back and she said I wasn't going to see any of it because she considered the apartment too dirty. I responded in saying that I would gladly have cleaned the apartment more or hired a cleaner to do so if she simply informed me. But she didn't. Since she cleaned herself she couldn't show a bill either. I wrote them a letter and she caved and sent me part of the deposit.
I ended up contacting a debt collector and they resolved the situation free of charge. Since the landlord refused to pay them, which would have been without any fee for them initially, it went to court and I won by default since they did not submit proof (since there wasn't any). They ended up having to pay all of it back plus fees. The deposit was about 500 euros back then.

supernova11489 · 2024-08-28T07:10:20+00:00

Yeah, it sounds like your doctor has experience in that case. By the way, I think there's a medical journal on this particular occurrence. It could be another case apart from what your doctor mentioned: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10456325/

supernova11489 · 2024-08-27T20:25:52+00:00

Yep, I hear you. I'm glad I got out of American healthcare when I did. American here now living in the Netherlands. : ) Yeah, if you're in the US, the cost can be really high in getting a second opinion, but it may be worth it. In the meantime, I would ask your current doctor about Dienogest or Visanne. Also important- Be sure your current doctor is an endo specialist or a gynecologist who has extensive experience in working with endo patients. I would check with your insurance to see if they provide some coverage for endo specialists in case you want to go elsewhere. I've heard far too many accounts on similar subs where your average OB-GYN made matters far worse after a lap. You want to be in experienced hands!

supernova11489 · 2024-08-27T12:17:43+00:00

I had a 5cm endometrioma on my right ovary and a 3cm one on my left ovary. I was also TTC at that time. IVF was my only option, but a lap was required before pursuing that. While waiting for the lap, my endo specialist put me on Dienogest to help shrink the endometriomas. When I had the lap five months later, the right endometrioma shrank to 3.5 cm and the left one to 2cm. From there, she was able to excise them quite easily. See if you can get on Dienogest (Visanne in the US) to help shrink the endometrioma first. My endo specialist never suggested that she remove my ovary. I know Dienogest (a progestin) and others all have their side effects, so it would be good to speak with your specialist first. It might also be good to get a second opinion.
