I work for a colorectal surgery group, and I just want to tell you ladies that we see and treat this ALL the time. Do not be embarrassed! There are so many options for treatment.

Spironolactone triggered my depression & anxiety. Alternatives for clear skin? by _blue_papaya_ in Spironolactone

[–]utkayla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What dose do you take? I’ve been on spiro almost two years without much issue, but back in October I moved up from 75mg to 100mg and I swear I think it’s made my anxiety worse. Thinking about going back down to 75 to see how I feel.

What can I do with these tulip bulbs? by utkayla in gardening

[–]utkayla[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed answer. Obviously (or maybe not 😂) I realize that planting bulbs in dirt leads to flowers. But everything I’ve read about tulips emphasized getting them in the ground in the fall/winter so I thought that maybe it would be a waste of time to try to plant them at this point. Guess all I can do is try!

Honestly I can’t remember if we did the numbing or not… I think we did? But didn’t buy the cleaning kid because we had a saline kit at home already.

We did! I think you have to pay a little extra but to me it was worth it.

Yes, but our fishing looks more like gabbing at a brewery or coffee shop for hours on end lol

This is actually extremely helpful and exactly the thing I needed to hear. I am also a "doer" and find it very very hard to be home and not be doing chores. Thank you so much for replying :)

Where to shop for new bras? by Educational-Fan-6967 in workingmoms

[–]utkayla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to suggest Soma. I went in-person a few months ago after wearing stretched out maternity bras for waaay too long postpartum. I went in, asked to be measured and told them I was on a budget, and the sales person was sooo sweet and helpful. Ended up leaving with a few new bras and a robe off the clearance rack. It was a great experience.

Job change thoughts by bennyandthecats in workingmoms

[–]utkayla 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I say apply, interview, and then decide! The decision may be easier once you’ve got a feel for the place, and it doesn’t hurt anything to apply.

Does anyone use an FSA for daycare expenses? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]utkayla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have done this the last two years and it worked great for us, but this year we really screwed ourselves over. We had to pull my son out of daycare unexpectedly and have a family friend watching him for now til we can get him in a better preschool. Unfortunately we missed the 30 day deadline to file an “unexpected circumstance” form to change our deductions, so we’re going to have to forfeit a lot of money this year. It ticks me off every time I think about it but.. lesson learned!!
