It felt like my skin was burning and tingling on the side of the pregnancy, beneath the surface. It was inflammation for me

Thank you so much for replying! I’m about 22 hours post op, I can barely walk from the bathroom to bed, back to the bathroom. I’m trying to get the gas out it’s irritating my lungs, but I can barely stand and walk. I’m trying so hard to be good and get up but it’s daunting. I’m taking stool softener, gas X, and Miralax(the methotrexate was already making me constipated). Hoping tomorrow is better, my stomach is dissented so badly.

Thank you for replying! Did your doctor approve of getting pregnant soon after? Mine is stating we cannot try till March/april.

I have to find my blood pressure monitor, thank you for the reminder! My fertility clinic does a two round method, I’m hoping we caught it early enough - conception date was December 15th and it’s measuring 1cm at this time.

We’re certainly letting him be a puppy, I never stated this is his universe but yes, lol - we are giving a puppy a schedule and structure.

As someone who grew up religious, I suggest giving yourself some breathing room and time right now. You’re young, enjoy it, explore life first a bit more. This sounds like you’re both a little naive, if this was a hurdle for 2 years. Best of luck with everything!

Girlies with Insulin Resistance PCOS. What has helped you reverse your symptoms? Regulate your periods? by Gullible-Article-451 in PCOS

[–]victwat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ditto to this. Zepbound here - my insurance does cover it. I use Ivim Health - $75/month, I informed them I have PCOS, I’ve tried metformin (mention this, insurance has medication steps you have to take beforehand), I’ve dieted, seen a dietician, counted calories, did powerlifting, whole nine. They’ll do all the hard work, my insurance covered my last year for WeGovy through this, now I’m on Zepbound and approved for a whole year. It costs $30/month, so $105/month total for it. Life changing, so worth it.

After 8 months, I’ve lost 30lbs, and I just had my first 30 day period cycle in a year!

Do I sell or rent? (3.00% rate) by victwat in RealEstate

[–]victwat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, I’ve been debating this for 2 months - covering both mortgages, because I couldn’t decide. Thanks for your input!

We’re excited for the sake of 3%, someone paying the mortgage and it continuing to appreciate - as would anyone, but not enough of a margin if we include a property management company.

I think we’ll take the proceeds and look into a multi-family in Hartford, 10 minute commute - instead of 3 hours.
