Yup - that drives me crazy.

That's not cool... everyone's pain matters but no one's is more important.

Couldn't agree more. Pain is beyond comparison and is not reserved for specific people (although I sure wish it was, or better wouldn't exist).

Hang in there! Diabetes can be controlled in pregnancy and a baby who isn't growing is way worse than one who is :-) I'm a midwife and we see this all the time - often mistakingly high fluid is seen when the baby is on the bigger side.

Thank you, Curlygirl! I do have a sweet tooth and after I passed the GD screening, I wasn't as cautious with how many treats I ate so I feel stupid and guilty but, hope we can figure out what is wrong and manage it. Not much longer til the big guy arrives!

I have type 1 diabetes, so my 'little' guy ended up weighing 8lbs 4oz at 36.5 weeks when I had him! Chubby is cute :-)

Hopefully it is just a wonky cycle, but it could be the start of perimenopause. At the beginning of perimenopause, the FSH may not yet be high (and can also be suppressed if your estradiol is high, which is also seen in perimenopause).

As for the "adrenal fatigue" - please read this:

I just don't want your doctor to assume your cycle irregularities are due to this fictitious...

Thanks for this...As for adrenal issues, I am seeing a hormone specialist who is specifically testing for things. One thing that is known for sure is that my cortisol levels are out of whack. My understanding is that cortisol can impact the other hormones too.

Just sent you a message!

Thanks ladies. We are feeling pretty good right now.

good luck!!!

Good luck!

good luck!

It's not ideal for sure, but good luck!!! Hope the babes are doing well!

Good god, I hear you! Good luck. Not fun, but I hope you CRUSH it.

Best of luck. I am also going for an interview in two weeks. I have a permanent position but trying to switch to a different job. They cannot refuse me only because I am pregnant? Can they? I am not sure how to proceed with this as I am very pregnant.

Know the feeling.

*hugs*

I've been there too. I went through many failed cycles, losses, failed surrogacy and felt hopeless. I don't wish those feelings on anybody. Big hugs

Half of them don't even read the articles before writing anything.

But I bet those are the same people who happily send lots of money to that guy for his potato salad or whatever that was a while ago. It is really scary how stupid a lot of people are.

It's the ones that are probably sitting on social assistance with a bunch of kids and know nothing about infertility and what it's like to have to experience it. Sad that ppl can't keep their negative comments to themselves.

I am sorry to hear. Wishing you better days ahead.

I have a friend whose husband had really good results with Fertilaid. Make sure he takes them with food though because they can make him nauseous.

Thinking of you!
