@luckystar28 I'm no expert in mental health diagnoses (although apparently an undergrad major in psychology counts, according to some people...) but holy effing crap. There's something there, that's for sure.
From an attorney perspective, being sent to therapy (as an adult) is usually related to court proceedings, so there's that...
@meatballs37 and @srscott3 did either of you picture someone like the female version of Hannibal Lector writing those posts? I mean, it seemed so clear that she was thriving on feeling like she was the smartest person in the room. It a super creepy, please go back to a therapist, kind of way.
Oh wow. I just read some of that thread. I honestly think it’s a catfish situation. Based on the amount of replies she made I’m guessing it’s a man or women who has too much time on their hands and is looking for attention.
Had my apt. It went well. I don't think it was in here but I think someone was asking about the at home Doppler. My Dr did Doppler today and at 12 weeks she struggled to find it. To the point of almost giving up and switching to US. As far as I know I dont have a tilted uterus or anything like that.
Also @meatballs37 thanks for the read. it got me through the waiting room.
@dntstpbelieveing That was me about the Doppler. That's good to hear. My doctor found mine at 10 weeks and I do have a tilted uterus, so I assumed it would be easy for me to find at home. But no such luck.
@sparklingdiamond I thought it was you but I didn't want to be an ass and tag the wrong person. I've never trusted myself to try it. There is way too much going on in there. But I was thinking about you when the Dr was struggling to find the babe (it was a nice distraction from wtf Dr your freaking me out).
@dntstpbelieveing Also I'm glad your appt went well! I meant to say that earlier. Yeah I don't usually bother with the Doppler but am a million times more anxious this time. But obviously trying and not finding it makes it more stressful!
@meatballs37 I feel the same way. It's like a car accident, I see the title and know based off that I should look away but I click and get annoyed any way.
@dntstpbelieveing it’s even worse when you tell yourself 800 times, “don’t respond, don’t respond.” And click, you do. *face palm*
I think part of it is the head space I’m in lately. This time of year just isn’t a good one, so I feel particularly defensive and angry. Sigh. I need to learn to ignore it. There will always be insensitive people out there. And no one will ever walk our exact roads of hardships us PGAL ladies have had. Even our individual experiences are all different. I need to be better about giving some people grace. But it gets so exhausting doing it over and over.
I know I don’t go here, so I hope I’m not stepping on toes by posting here (I mean that sincerely - I don’t want to invade what is supposed to be your safe space), but I just wanted to say I’m thinking of you both today, @ruby696 and @eleven_. @ruby696, I’m praying so very hard for good news for you.

@carleym93 I understand your feelings. I think there are some different feelings associated with terminations and I know I've struggled a lot with guilt. Most people didn't know I was pregnant and those that did don't know the circumstances around the loss. I just felt like no matter the situation, most people wouldn't understand. I think its important to feel all the feelings associated with the loss and it's also ok to be happy to be pregnant again. You made the right choice in your situation and you're blessed with another chance.
I don’t have the patience for the nonsense out in gen pop. I used to be slightly amused by the back and forth. Now I have no capacity for it. Maybe I’m old.
Either way, best of luck to everyone today!!!
im not officially checking in because I’m addition to being old, I’m lazy. I caved over the weekend and paid for an US. Our baby is very cute and has a nice strong heart beat. Ready for my NT scan on the 5th and to get my blood taken for the NIPT. I’m hoping we get the results before Christmas.
Thanks for all the well wishes. My appointment is at 2:40 MST. I called the lab yesterday to see if my NIPT was complete and it is! So I will get those results today too. The anticipation is killing me.
@ruby696 So extremely hopeful for you today, my friend. I am pleading with the universe that we both come back with good news

My doctor called and my NIPT was normal. I'll take the positive win. That NT still looms over me. I have a voicemail with the sex on my phone because I didn't want to find out before my husband. But I have a training and can't even meet him for lunch ahhh.
oh man @sparklingdiamond you are a much better wife than me. If I had access to that I would probably find out and gloat all day. Though I am also the one who is team green and told my mom that I wont tell her after the baby is born what the sex/name is until she comes to visit me. I may be a brat.
@dntstpbelieveing haha! Well I know that finding out the sex is going to be very emotional for me so I need him around. We lost a girl and I want a girl so bad but I feel like it will be a boy since I want a girl so bad.
@sparklingdiamond it’s so hard to resist! I had the gender of our first in an envelop on the fridge for 3 WEEKS while my husband was away training! It was painful haha but I can totally understand you wanting him there for support! FX it’s a girl!
