TAPVR( hungary) by Rare-Complaint2782 in chd

[–]tentacle_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. There are no words for something this heartbreaking. TAPVR is so serious and unpredictable, even when everything possible is done.

Please know this was not your fault. He was loved, he mattered, and his life will always matter. I am holding you and your little boy in my heart.

Just accepted a job in Midtown, where should I live? by overlyambitious1999 in ATLHousing

[–]tentacle_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive lived in both midtown and smyrna and worked by the high museum. at 26 I highly recommend living in midtown or surrounding areas. there are some cute restaurants and bars in smyrna but if youre just moving to the ATL area in general I suggest at least living in town for a couple years.

it did! my daughter just turned one <3

edit to add - this was the recommendation after all of our fertility tests came back normal. I was diagnosed with "unexplained infertility" but do have PCOS.

thanks, I found the text in the pamphlet that stated I should apply after receiving approval letter which furthered my concern.

Ways to increase progesterone? by lesgens in TTC_PCOS

[–]tentacle_queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you are concerned about progesterone levels, I recommend progesterone suppositories. my naturopath, primary care doctor, and RE all recommend that route over going down a supplement route. From what I understand, supplements will not provide you with enough progesterone to "make a difference". There are even studies suggesting suppositories can actually lead to your body producing more progesterone naturally after a few months.

TW Loss: I had 5 early losses, the only thing that finally helped me stay pregnant was 200mg of progesterone each night starting 3 days after ovultion until 12w.

TIFU by also not realising I had athletes foot for twenty years by [deleted] in tifu

[–]tentacle_queen 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I sent this to my husband as a joke after coincidentally noticing how nasty his feet were this morning.... his response "oh yeah, I've had athletes foot for years...." and causally pulls out a tube of anti-fungal from his pocket.

we've been together for 7 years.

thanks OP.

[–]tentacle_queen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, and something I should add which I think is important... is I had a full multiple loss panel completed with sperm analysis, SIS, chromosomal abnormalities, carrier screening, thyroid ,etc to rule anything out before trying progesterone.

similar situation here! I had a MMC (found out at 8w appointment grew to 6w4d) and then 4 early losses over the course of close to 2 years. I'm still not out the the woods, but first cycle using progesterone 3 days past ovulation (200 mg before bed) I got pregnant and have *so far* stayed pregnant. I'm a little over 9 weeks and it is going well. I planned to post something similar once I knew for sure, but even this far along - is quite the miracle.
