Social media stalking my husbands ex girlfriend from 4.5 years ago….

As the heading says. It makes me feel disgusting 😭 My husband is amazing, and he’s never given me a reason to feel insecure about what they had or anything. His ex made our lives hell at the beginning, but I do remember just not caring.

Once she left us alone, I started checking her social media.. big mistake. Here I am, YEARS LATER, having this insane obsession and compulsion to check, sometimes 10-15 times a day. I’ve recently realized this could be an OCD cycle.

I’m 20 weeks pregnant, my husband is amazing, we’ve built a beautiful life together, and his ex is far moved on, married with her own kids who probably forgot we even exist. Help me with this. Please. Will practicing ERP truly help? Will there ever come a time when I just.. don’t care?

NCLEX in 3 days

I take my NCLEX on Thursday and I’m getting very nervous. I have bootcamp but I couldn’t keep up with the schedule they gave me, I wasn’t even processing most of what I was “learning” because it was information overload. Mostly, I’ve done practice questions & watched dr Sharon. I can’t get my hands on the mark k lecture #12. Please help & tell me exactly what I should focus on for my last couple of study days

HELP! Bootcamp

I have 13 days left before the nclex & im freaking out. I got the one month subscription for bootcamp, and I don’t even know where to start. I’m so overwhelmed looking at it all. There’s so many crash course videos, case studies, and just random questions/tests. Please tell me what helped you the most and what I should focus on. I definitely need to brush up on maternity & peds but i genuinely feel so lost & I want to cry because I’m so overwhelmed

HCG numbers not doubling anymore

I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant as of today and have had bleeding since 5 weeks. I went to the ER 2 days ago for passing a clot (no pain associated with it) and my HCG then was 12,400. 2 days before this it was 4025. They were able to see a gestational sac and yolk sac but no embryo yet. I haven’t had any red blood since this episode, just brown discharge. No cramping. I had another HCG done today and it was 15,900. I’m terrified this means I’m losing the baby although I know once HCG reaches a certain point, it tends to slow down. I have an ultrasound Tuesday but until then I’d love to hear others experiences, good or bad 💖 thank you. This is also my first pregnancy

Line progression & HCG, found out 8-10 dpo

curious what other thinks about this line progression. found out I was pregnant on Thursday (3 days ago) and have taken a test each morning since then. I’m terrified of a chemical or ectopic. my beta HCG came back at 38 (this was pulled anywhere from 11-13 dpo - don’t know exactly when I ovulated due to a long surge). could I get any reassurance from anyone? going in tomorrow for a second beta to see if it doubles

Positive line test & digital at 8-10 dpo, not too sure when I ovulated

hi! got my BFP on digital and line test yesterday with first reponse early result! I’m so happy and excited and my husband is as well. however I am being beaten up with anxious thoughts about what If something happens or doesn’t progress the way it should.. I’m 24, healthy as far as I’m concerned, and this is my first pregnancy. does anyone else go through these thoughts and does it get better?

TSH 5.4, Positive antibodies, NP not concerned…

What the post says. My TSH came back at 5.4, which it’s always been elevated. A few years back it was 9. Last year it was 5. But this time it came with positive antibodies this time. I went to see my primary care (I see an NP) and she didn’t seem concerned. I did in fact tell her that we were TTC. She requested for me to come back in 8 weeks for more blood work and she sent a referral to get an ultrasound of my thyroid. She didn’t tell me we couldn’t keep trying. I’m just at a loss and don’t know what to do. I’ve read where levels should be under 2.5. She didn’t sound like she was going to give me meds, which is fine, but I’m worried this will affect our TTC immensely.

TSH 5.41, also ttc..

My TSH levels came back 5 days ago at 5.41 (a few years ago they were almost 10, last year they were 4.5), with Antibodies detected.. My husband and I are currently taking a break from TTC because I don’t want to risk anything going wrong. I’m seeing my PCP about it this week because the wait for endocrinology in my area is months long.. has anyone had luck with getting their PCP to manage the levels? I heard some PCP’s won’t prescribe anything until you see endocrine

11 dpo, All BFN, going to test one last time tomorrow :) Maybe next cycle..

What the caption said. Keep getting negatives & I know I’m only 11dpo, but it’s pretty disappointing. Hopeful for the next cycle! This is our first cycle ttc and I’m getting blood work done tomorrow to make sure my TSH isn’t out of wack again like it was last year!

11 dpo & I think this just isn’t my month

And that’s okay!! We just will try again next month! I hear staring at these tests thinking I see something but I feel as though it would be super positive by now? I also spotted just a bit yesterday so that wasn’t very encouraging 🥲

9 dpo, losing hope :/

Hi all! Testing at 9dpo today because I’m just a clown 🤡 I know it’s sooo early, but I couldn’t help myself. However, our timing for BD was off this month. Husband was out of town and didn’t get home until 8pm on the day I ovulate per Flo & PreMom app. I have no history of PCOS or endo so im trying to be hopeful for next cycle if this one doesn’t turn positive! When did everyone get their first positive? Even just a vvvfl?

Help!! Worried I missed my window

I think I ovulated yesterday (05/16) per my Flo app and pre mom. It was CD day 14. (Today is CD 15). My LH peak was last Friday night (05/15) and my first “positive” was that morning (05/15) morning at 7am. My husband came home last night from working out of town and by the time we had sex, it was about 9pm… Did I miss my chances for this cycle?

Help!! Can i still get pregnant on day OF ovulation?

I think I ovulated today, per my Flo app and pre mom. Today is cycle day 14. My LH peak was last night and my first “positive” was yesterday morning at 7am. My husband comes home tonight and by the time we have sex, it’ll be about 9pm… Did I miss my chances for this cycle?

Confused on Premom OPK

Here’s my chart through OPK. I haven’t started temping just yet. I got a + 2 days ago & peak last night. When do I ovulate? I keep seeing different numbers! Premom says I ovulate Tuesday, Flo says I ovulate today. My husband doesn’t get home from out of town until tonight.. is there still a chance? For reference, today is 05/16, Saturday.

Confused on strips

Hi! Kinda new to the group. Started tracking my ovulation using OPK this month because my husband and I are about to start trying when he gets home from Oklahoma next week. Here’s my OPK from today (05/15). I don’t think he will come home in time for me to conceive this cycle but there always next time!

u/Nearby_Barracuda_747 — 5 months ago

New here! Started using OPK but not sure how they work..

New to the group! Husband and I started trying this month. I started using an OPK and I’ve always had a regular, 28 day cycle. I’ve used the Flo app but I don’t know how accurate it is. It says I’ll ovulate on CD 14 (I’m on CD 8). Which I know textbook wise, 14 days is the general rule. Does anyone in here ovulate early? My husband and I had sex on CD day 6 but he’s out of town until after my ovulation, so I think my chances this month are pretty slim, unless i ovulate early of course. Also, will the strip be positive AFTER my body releases the egg?
