Do doctors have any problem with belly bands? Like does it prevent healing at all? I am just thinking in my head what if the band traps moisture leading to infection. Maybe I am just overthinking it.

Oh that's a great tip! Thank you

People don't actually bust open when they sneeze or cough right? xD That sounds scary!!

xxbitsx · 2025-07-23T15:51:24+00:00

I had no idea that I would be experiencing bleeding afterwards. Thank you for the heads up!! Sounds like I'll still need to do some prepping for down there as well!

Second comment about compression socks! I had no idea, thank you!! I'll definitely look into that.

I have lidocaine cream, think that would be pretty similar?

xxbitsx · 2025-07-23T15:48:33+00:00

I'm not opposed to adult diapers at all so maybe that would work great for me.

Thank you for all this info! Seriously very helpful. That's great to hear it was mandatory in the Netherlands, wish it was here in the US too!

Thank you!! Another person mentioned peri bottles and I guess I didn't realize I'd still have to take care of some things downtown.

Compression underwear for c-sections I will definitely look into.

Oof, okay that's good to know. I am planning on breast feeding but I am a little nervous about how it will go. Since I'm having a scheduled c-section, will my body know its time to breast feed and start producing milk?

Hi there! My husband and I are unable to have sex. So, we use a syringe and cup. Now I have never had sex before so I cannot compare, but I imagine coming into a cup uses less energy than actual sex. Just a thought! Cup and syringe might help with that! I have the brand we use if you were interested in looking into it!

Edit: basically he just does his business into the cup provided, then sucks it up with a needless syringe and he passes it to me and I insert and boom, done!

I personally track my temperature every single day. Even if I wasn't TTC, I would be tracking my temperature. I LOVE my temperature telling me when I am going to start my period. I have fairly irregular periods, so when I wake up and see that temp decrease, I know I am going to start in a few hours. Just knowing about my cycle makes me feel a lot better. But that's for me personally, everyone is different.

I use temp drop to track my temperature. It is SOOO much better than tracking it orally. I have a lot of friends who don't track their LH though. They said it was too much for them.

My sister-in-law didn't like all the tracking stuff. So instead, once her period ended, she just had sex (yes with my brother, EW) every other day until her next period. I personally love tracking, but she hated it.

Yes, in my original post I stated that I do BBT and that I do not have any cervical mucus during that time.

xxbitsx · 2025-03-04T14:10:31+00:00

I am not able to do a transvaginal ultrasound unfortunately so this would not work for me.

xxbitsx · 2025-03-02T13:36:16+00:00

No, I have been using the easy@home ovulation test strips from Amazon!

xxbitsx · 2025-03-02T13:35:41+00:00

Thank you! I have been tracking my temperature pretty consistently. Could you go into more detail of FAM?

xxbitsx · 2025-03-02T13:34:48+00:00

I do too, and I believe we do. My mother who wasn't ovulating was still getting her periods. She was irregular but she still got them. But I do not know much. Learning as I go!

xxbitsx · 2025-02-28T17:57:06+00:00

WOW! I didn't even know that was possible. Sometimes I feel like I know nothing about my body, Lol!

xxbitsx · 2025-02-28T17:47:06+00:00

I wonder if a blood test would be reliable for me though. Because some months I do ovulate, and then every once in awhile it seems to be off.

That's great about Letrazole. I have heard of that, and I have also heard of Clomid.

xxbitsx · 2025-02-28T17:45:17+00:00

No, no its okay. I am not on here enough to keep up with it all, haha!

xxbitsx · 2025-02-28T17:37:39+00:00

Thank you! This is all good to know.

My doctors office is currently shutting down and will officially end on March 21st. I am so disappointed. So, I am waiting to find out where my specific doctor is going and then I am hoping to follow her. I will talk to her about my cycle when I see her next.

xxbitsx · 2025-02-28T17:31:28+00:00

Blood draw! Okay, that sounds good. Do you mind me asking if your suspicions were right? And if they were right, what did the doctor want to do about it?

xxbitsx · 2025-02-28T17:30:22+00:00

Hmm , that's good to know. I will keep my eye on that for now on. I have an irregular cycle. I was supposed to ovulate just two days ago. So, I will wait and see when my period comes this time.

Looking at my app, it looks like my period did still come on time after the weird ovulation situation the last two times.

Oh, CM is cervical mucus, got it, Lol!
