My (27f) husband (25m) has OCD. He apparently has been struggling with this for years until last September he finally came to me, emotional and crying, and said he didn’t know what was wrong with him only that he felt like a “crazy person”. Of course I supported, loved and cared and we got him to the a doctor where he was diagnosed. He talked to two therapist and they basically said “not much I can do. You need a specialist” but the referral never came. So he stopped wanting the help and never tried to get more. 3 months ago he was put on Zoloft… I ask him how it is going and how he is feeling but there has been no progress. His rituals seem to be having more and more things added to them, he has been sleeping on the couch because if he doesn’t sleep in our room he doesn’t “have to do” his long nightly ritual (putting on a shirt and jewelry, straightening shoes, locking all doors 10 times, look out all the windows). I just don’t know what I can do for him.. it’s hard watching the one I love more than anything hating/feeling tortured like this. Any and all advice is appreciated! Thank you guys.

Two months ago I noticed a marble size lump on my dog’s side, bottom of her rib cage. I suspected a UTI and brought her in and asked if they would look at the lump while I was here. I was told to monitor and if it changed they would biopsy. A couple weeks went by and it did get a little larger but then my dog chewed it off leaving a lump that resembled a histiocytoma. I took her back anyways and the vet did a fine needle aspiration and checked under the microscope. I was told visually it looks like a histiocytoma but under the microscope it looked a little suspicious so I was recommended a lumpectomy. We had the surgery and was under the impression that it would be sent to a lab for a for sure answer on what it was. Well, two weeks go by and I bring my dog in to get the stitches removed and I asked about the results and was told that it was never sent. I was never asked if I wanted it sent or not, was never told that it looked ok and didn’t needed to be sent, nothing. I waited and worried for 2 weeks to be told it wasn’t sent. My question is: why would this happen?

My husband (25M) and I (27F) just started to try for a baby. I know with PCOS it could be frustrating/difficult but I underestimated how annoying the irregular period aspect would be. I wasn’t too concerned when the test came back negative as this was our first attempt but now I’m on day 44 of my cycle, still negative test, but had some light spotting after intercourse this morning. Am I losing my mind over thinking it could just be a false negative or is this something I’m just going to have to get used to? No baby yet no period..
