HannahArthur:I strongly disagree with your claim that labor and delivery hurts for everyone. Not a single woman in my family has taken medication while giving birth. Pitocin is a synthetic version of oxytocin and thus lacks the chemical response triggered by the brain to close pain receptors. That said, it absolutely does…
I went in to labour around 12:23 am yesterday morning, but didn't really know it. I thought I had to have a bowel movement and kept getting up to try to go almost every hour until about 5 am. When I went to the bathroom at 5 am and I wiped I had tons of blood show. I freaked out a bit, because despite the fact that I am a…
Here's mine. . .Super quick and easy natural birth! My DD was due on July 1, 2006. My due date came and went as did a lot of other days. I was scheduled to be induced on July 14th and I was dreading the possibility. On July 11th, I called my doctor and begged to have my membranes stripped. They agreed and set up an…
A little background info ? After 2 and ? years fighting a So Cal mega developer who was illegally attempting to deny our lease on our restaurant we decided to settle. In August we agreed to move. The judge decided our last day at the old location would be 11/15. I nearly fell out of my chair in the courtroom. My due date…
Hey lauren, i had not seen your post with the training i've been busy, but to get to the point there is so much controversy with homocystine levels and whether they matter to MTHFR and miscarriage or not, from what i've reseacrhed it really doesn't matter what the level is, here is a site that explains the controversy…
I’m going to post tags after checking in. Trying to not let the whole week get away from me! Diagnosis (if you've been): RPL/RIF, Elevated NK cells, DQ Alpha Match, blood-clotting disorders, AMA, DOR Status (WTO/TWW/TTA): WTO What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): I just had a 3rd hysteroscopy this week. I…
@acleverusername woooo hooo, c'mon AF, let's get this show on the road. That's great news that your genetic screening came back without any (major) concerns with regards to how it'll affect IVF and PGT so fx that means you're all good to go. Also read your update about your sister the other day - so sorry for all that…
My water broke at 12:25 am on Saturday morning after 2 hours of sleep. We had been cleared to labor at home until contractions were nice and close, so we decided to pack the car and get things ready before labor really set in and I became solely focused on that. All was going well and I even had 2 20 minute naps until 9 am…
Hey friends, I hope everyone is having a good week! I know it's been fairly quiet lately. Hopefully after U.S. Thanksgiving we will pick back up again. @gingermama29 So glad to hear that you're feeling good about things! I really laughed when you mentioned the good timing of TI falling after the holiday meal. Have fun…
@shortstack930 Hooray that your embryo was already hatching when you transferred! How wonderful that your RE was the one to do your procedure this time. I'm also hoping along with you that it is a good omen. ;) @acleverusernam I'm sorry you've experienced your first "lapping". It is not a fun one. There have been so many…
