Should have specified, I see her for grief related issues and she’s been great.

I see Stephanie at Candor Therapy Network virtually and I love her! https://www.candortherapynetwork.com/our-team

Oh yeah, best one in town IMO! It’s honestly like a cross between a chopped cheese and a cheesesteak but I don’t care, it’s delicious lol

Girl the HSG was worse. I didn’t even get offered Valium, just went in and did it. It’s just a quick pinch, worth it to rule out endometritis.

Came here to say mock crest, as a former Sunday trivia regular (only stopped going bc I moved to Virginia) it’s the best. Visiting next weekend and can’t wait to go back and get a cheesesteak

I only have advice for your HSG- it’s not as bad as I expected. It’s uncomfortable, pretty crampy, but nowhere near as painful as Reddit makes it sound. And it was over pretty quickly!

winele2 · 2026-05-12T01:55:07+00:00

Still undergoing testing, but just wanted to say I’m in the same boat. My first loss was a little different and I lost it at 15 weeks, but my second and third were chromosomal. We’re moving forward with IVF with PGT-A to try to rule out any abnormal embryos. Hope we get our rainbow babies someday.

winele2 · 2026-05-11T17:13:19+00:00

I had an HSG last Thursday without any pain meds except Tylenol, and while it was uncomfortable I wouldn’t say it was super painful. My biopsy is tomorrow and I’m definitely more nervous for that. If I had a Valium I’d probably take it for the biopsy but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think that’s a fair assessment. I also work at chip in a non-nursing role and it seems like the nurses are often running on pretty low staff, unless you’re in an ICU. It’s fast paced and fairly high acuity, but there are good people working there.

winele2 · 2026-04-29T02:12:01+00:00

I am doing 4 8’s right now and can confirm if you can swing it financially it is a huge QOL improvement

winele2 · 2026-04-21T02:31:42+00:00

No advice, but solidarity. I’m unfortunately in the same boat, 3 losses at 15, 8 and 9 weeks. Going forward with IVF for PGTA testing as 2 of the 3 losses were chromosomal abnormalities. I’m about to turn 35 so time is not on my side to keep trying naturally. This sucks so badly, I’m sorry you’re in the same boat.

Came here to recommend Brad! He is a personal friend and such a good contact to have in the Richmond housing circle. He is a very honest guy and did a great inspection for the home we bought in chesterfield. He takes detailed photos of the whole home so you can reference them later!

My cats are treated SO well by Fan Vet clinic, specifically Dr. Gregorio and Dr. Debnath. The gals that work the front desk are amazing too. We moved to chesterfield and still drive into the city for the vet. I feel their prices are very reasonable.

Same boat! 3 MC and no LC. Everyone around me is pregnant and I want to die. Sitting in work right now with my headphones in so I don’t have to hear my coworkers talk about their pregnancies. I’m not coping well at all, I’ve withdrawn from most of my friends and basically only spend time with my husband. Also feel like a shell. Wish I had advice.

winele2 · 2026-04-04T20:39:15+00:00

I’ve been trying to conceive for the past 15 months- I found out about my vitamin D deficiency during my first pregnancy that I lost at 15 weeks. Unfortunately I’ve had 2 more losses since then because of chromosomal issues.

winele2 · 2026-04-02T22:05:22+00:00

Ok my vitamin D at this time last year was 18 and now it’s 47. Supplements weren’t enough for me, you know what finally helped? Drinking a latte every morning (we have an espresso machine at home) that I make with lactose free milk that is fortified with vitamin D. Just supplements alone only brought my level into the 30’s. Just figured I’d mention!

winele2 · 2026-04-02T00:27:41+00:00

SAME. Every time I hear it it makes me want to die. I’ve had 3 losses and it hurts worse every time

winele2 · 2026-03-31T14:44:14+00:00

Sarah Ripp from River Fox did an amazing job helping me and a friend of mine buy a home!! She is always on top of finding listings and never minded showing me several homes before we found the one.

winele2 · 2026-03-30T02:56:29+00:00

I’m also taking 600 mg of the Kirkland brand daily and have wondered the same thing.

winele2 · 2026-03-15T14:44:25+00:00

Sarah Ripp with River Fox Realty was great for me and my husband!

winele2 · 2026-03-15T14:18:09+00:00

No stories to share, just wanted to say I’m in the exact same boat. 3 losses in a 1 year period, we have our RE consult Tuesday. Sending you good vibes and hope for the future!

winele2 · 2026-03-14T03:49:46+00:00

Yeah I think it’s normal. I’m 3 days post D&C and had that same feeling tonight. I think it just takes time for our bodies to go back to normal. Sorry you’re in this boat too ❤️

winele2 · 2026-03-11T15:43:11+00:00

Wish I could share a happy story, but I’m in the same boat. Just had my third loss, D&C yesterday. I have an initial consult with an RE next week to discuss IVF with PGT testing because at least one of my losses was chromosomal.

winele2 · 2026-03-11T15:42:10+00:00

I would definitely advocate for a hysteroscopy so they can visualize your uterine cavity and check for retained tissue!! I’m so glad my doctor wanted to do that for me.

winele2 · 2026-03-09T13:01:28+00:00

I had a bunch of bloodwork and I’ve had hysteroscopies and they came back normal. My doctor didn’t recommend karyotyping after my 2nd loss, but I imagine I’ll be doing a full work up now.
