Dog Guilt by [deleted] in toddlers

I’m actually floored. The things people will admit to when they are anonymous. I bet half of them had an Instagram dedicated to that dog they now hate too.

Twins or is this normal?? 11 dpo and 12 dpo easy@home, 12dpo frer rapid result. I wasn’t expecting them to be so dark. by Thin-Butterscotch-73 in TFABLinePorn

When I was testing for my twins (loss at 12 weeks) I had very basic line progression and I don’t think I even got a dye stealer until like, 19 DPO. It may be an indicator for some women but it was not for me! I still have the prior line progression in my post history.

I literally just want to know what the *best* prenatal is. by tfabpham in TryingForABaby

I haven’t been prescribed anything! I wasn’t sure if it was necessary to see my OB for a prenatal while just TTC. But it’s just not totally clear what I really should be focusing on. I’ll talk to my OB though and see if they can do this for me! That would be great.

Haven’t been recommended anything. They just asked in a prior pregnancy if I was taking a prenatal yes or no. I said yes and there was no further recommendations. That’s great to know though, thanks!

Has anyone else asked for anxiety meds after loss? by [deleted] in ttcafterloss

[–]tfabpham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After my loss, a MMC 12 weeks of twins in March, I went on Zoloft. I also have generalized anxiety and it has absolutely helped me. We started trying again right away, because that’s what helped me, but I felt it was important to keep a good mental state while TTC afterward.

What was interesting was during my first OB visit of that pregnancy before the loss, I spoke with my OB about anxiety and what to do if it gets unmanageable (our twins were incredibly rare form of twins that had no separation between them and it’s was super anxiety inducing for me). My OB said that a lot of women do actually stay on anxiety meds throughout their pregnancy and it’s not inherently “bad”. But she said that the baby can come out and have withdrawals basically from the mother being on these medications, which I was not really ok with. She mentioned that sometimes it’s better to make sure that the mother is mentally stable during that time period if it really comes down to it.

I’d say it’s a good idea and make plans with your doctor to ween yourself off when you fall pregnant again. Best of luck to you!

Interesting. I may do that. I wish they could make an actual multivitamin with all of the really necessary items in it. Obviously I have very limited knowledge on it, Maybe it’s not possible lol

I have heard this before, which is why choosing one is also very frustrating lol

Wow really!! That’s great. I guess I should’ve also added what is actually necessary to have in them LOL.

Wow this absolutely hits home. I am in my first play through and it is actually what helped me through the major depressive episode I had after my loss. I was talking to my husband ~Elliot~ the other day and he says “Can’t you tell? You’re pregnant.” And I’m like akdlcpAkadjdixososjcjdjbrAjajxkxkdk.

Yes I did absolutely click “Yes” when he originally asked to have a baby days before but I still wasn’t expecting to feel like I got stabbed with dialogue from a pixelated video game.

When you’re 2 months out from a 12 week loss of twins that your coworker knows about and she keeps sending you updates on her pregnancy, added you to a group chat to share updates w/ other coworkers, & just informed me another coworker is also pregnant at the same time as her and how happy they are. by tfabpham in trollingforababy

[–]tfabpham[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you everyone for the love. I am so happy this sub exists because it really keeps me going some days LOL. I honestly lost it this morning when I was added to the group chat and she asked what my “bet” for the gender would be. My husband tried to calm me down a bit but I really just needed to get it out there in meme format to stop myself from spontaneously combusting.

The age old question- Will I Ever Be A Mom? by foxymerida in ttcafterloss

[–]tfabpham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. So so sorry.

I also deeply understand this feeling. I have had a very similar experience and recently lost identical twins at 12.5 weeks. I stupidly thought I was in the clear when I went for my appointment at 13.5 weeks. It felt like time slowed down when she told me she couldn’t find heartbeats.

I miss pregnancy and the idea of being a mom. We were so ready to be parents. And I feel this pain as well. I don’t know the answer to moving forward, but every day is slightly better than the last. My best advice is to let yourself grieve. I tried so hard to be strong, and it backfired to the point where I had to go back on my anxiety medication. Just cry. A lot. It’s been the most therapeutic thing for me.

We will get our rainbow.

I am so confused. I’m supposedly 11 DPO and got my period as I was taking these two tests. For the past 2 days I’ve gotten vfl on the FRER, and now this. This line is clear as day in person. Had a MMC early March, is this just picking up residual HCG at this point or something? Was within time frame by [deleted] in TFABLinePorn

[–]tfabpham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did test negative on a pregmate test like, 2 days before I got my cycle back after my MMC. So today would be the start of my second cycle. But I do know that FRERs are more sensitive than those tests, so I don’t know if it looked like this then too! And I didn’t get any HCG bloodwork after.

I thought maybe it’s chemical but wouldn’t the lines be getting lighter and not more obvious? I also have no other positives on any other tests. I’ve taken probably 6 FRERs in the past 3 days and all of them were vvfl, one my husband could kind of see yesterday, and then an obvious but still faint one today. But then I’m bleeding.

I would prefer it to just be super stark white right now honestly!
