Best shoes for custom insoles?

I’ve been having a hard time finding a shoe that my insoles will fit correctly into. My most recent pair of Orthofeet I’ve tried make it feel like my heel is higher than the rest of my foot and the orthotics don’t help in that position. Just looking for something that will keep my foot level instead of raising the heel. Thanks!!

TSH going up, now 4.5, freaking out (5w6d)

Did anyone else experience this? Selfishly, I am not so much worried about the fetus because they will probably put me on medication, but more so for my own future. Is this going to become a permanent issue for me? I worked with a girl with Hashimotos and no matter what she did she gained weight and lost hair and it just sounded terrible. If I can avoid that by not having a baby I think I would rather do that… someone please tell me this won’t be permanent 😞

(Yes I did IVF, don’t delete me!)

Edit: Thank you amazing ladies for continually talking me off a ledge. I don’t know where I would be without this community. This is so hard especially for someone with anxiety.

Shockwave therapy questions

How did you feel immediately after? Will being on my feet the days following really suck?

Did it work for you?

Thanks!

Pregnancy

How much did pregnancy f up your feet? I’ve been dealing with heel pain for 3 years, had a potentially botched fasciotomy in one foot and I am terrified it’s going to be permanently worse.

5w1d hcg only 553, should I be concerned? Gestational sac visible

Today I had an ultrasound and they saw a small gestational sac but I’m still worried because I see other people at 5 week with hcg well into the triple digits. Anyone else experience this and have a positive outcome?

Maybe a comeback from beta he’ll

So my initial beta at 9dp5dt was 78, two days later 96 and it wasn’t looking good and I couldn’t stop searching online for any kind of positive story and I didn’t find a ton. I just assumed I wouldn’t be pregnant by today (two days after the 96) but my hcg went up to 168. Not sure what to think. Spent all weekend convincing myself I shouldn’t have a baby anyway and now it may still be possible. This is such a rollercoaster.

When will I get my period after a chemical?

I’m 12dp5dt. My beta was not increasing by much yesterday (77 9dpt and 96 11dpt). Will I still get my period if I’m on Estrace 2mg 3x a day and PIO? I just want to let myself stop hoping already because I know I will only get let down again. Another beta on Monday and it’s agonizing waiting…

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day AND my first anniversary with my husband… I am so sad.

Need positive stories. Low hcg 9dp5dt didn’t double by 11dpt

Once again I let myself hope too much. I was only 77 hcg at 9dpt and two days later I’m now at 96 and the clinic said these weren’t the numbers they were looking for but we’ll test again Monday.

Just looking for stories where this still worked out in the end…

This was a fully medicated cycle. I got to 6.5 lining and it compacted I guess to 5.5 the day before transfer. I had an IUD for 7 years and I believe this is why I have one day periods and thin lining. I am so so so sad.

I hope I’m not breaking another rule by posting this here.

I’m 6dpt and I had a faint line yesterday and darker one today! The last time I was pregnant I had a faint line that disappeared a couple days later so I do not know how to just relax. The time before that I just… stopped being pregnant at like 6 weeks and ultrasound showed nothing so I guess that was chemical too… This was my first transfer so I hope the fact that it was a good quality euploid makes that less likely to happen, but how do I stop thinking about this! The clinic does weekly bloodwork and I feel like I need DAILY confirmation that I’m still pregnant because of my anxiety and overthinking!

How do you guys deal with this?! I feel like I will be this way all day every day for 9 months and that’s going to wreck me mentally. 😩

I was given splints by my doctor, the heavy duty kind with the hard bottom. He told me to wear them to sleep and when I’m sitting on the couch etc but my toes start to go numb. Anyone else with this issue and what did you do about it?

I find I am completely unbothered by it!

There are a lot of people here saying it’s terrible but the people unbothered won’t be posting about it.

I took some advice from here and what I do is put a heating pad on the cheek I’m going to inject about 10 min before. Needle does not hurt at all for me. Afterwards I use my theragun for a minute or two and the most pain I’ve felt is like a slightly worked out one cheek the next day and maybe I’ll o let feel it when I get out of bed in the morning or going up a flight of stairs.

Not sure if the heating pad and massage gun work but I’ll keep doing it regardless.

I was scared for nothing!
