We've been NC with his whole side of the family for over 8 years. We all live in the same town / area which is rural and I see them about. Often but not too often. At the time of the whole NC thing happening my husband asked me to not remove them from my social media. He doesn't have SM. I respected his wishes and didn't block them or anything. But to this day they stalk my socials daily but when I meet them in Aldi? Or Dunnes? They all pretend we don't exist (which is fine with me, that's what I want, I also pretend they don't exist and tbh wish they didn't) but why do the look at my stories every day? I am at the point where I'd like to remove them and block them. But my husband says after 8 years that's shit stirring... and I'd hate to go against his wishes. I don't know anymore. What would you do? Our life has been drama free since we went NC with them. I just hate that after 8 years they're watching me daily.

Basically what the title says. I'm 9 weeks pregnant right now but no heartbeat and baby stopped growing at 7 weeks. Beyond devastated. I have three boys and had no miscarriages between them, this is my third miscarriage.

I lost 100lbs last year in order to be "healthy" to carry a baby, I thought maybe the weight was my problem. Now I'm wondering if it's something like low progesterone.

I've no idea where to go next, this is so new to me. Do I go to my gp and get bloods done for hormone checks? Do I go to a fertility clinic?

If anyone could suggest what next steps would be, right now the hospital have only informed me about miscarriage options (last two were done naturally, I am also unsure if I want to do this naturally or get something like a D&C, thoughts on this too?). Nobody has mentioned anything else to me at this point and I feel so lost.

Thanks ladies x

hope this is allowed.

I think I'm pregnant on baby four! four tests show a faint line. going by tracker I am 4w 5d. I have three boys, and weve longed for a fourth child but last year we had a chemical pregnancy and then two miscarriages (one at 8 weeks and one at 13 weeks).

im so nervous. but also excited at the thought!! I've nobody to tell, because how could I? just putting this out there into the void. I haven't even told my husband. the faintest line but it's there... I'll take another test in a few days.

either way, whatever happens in the next few days whether the line was there or not and I'm just seeing things - I am so nervous about another loss. we haven't tried since last August when we lost our second miscarriage

In early 2025 my dog was booked in for a neutering surgery. She was 18 months old. She recovered well after. During the Xmas holidays in 2025 (so 11 months later) she started bleeding from her vulva. We took her back to vets who, after CT imaging and extensive blood work, diagnosed her with Ovarian Remnant Syndrome. Very rare, the vet we dealt with said in her 20 years has never seen it, and other vets at the clinic weighed in suggesting it was her size or her deep chest (she has the body of a greyhound, but is a different breed) and that it was probably the left ovary that had been left behind as it likes to hide behind another organ in large chested dogs. Well, CT results showed it was the right ovary, which is unobstructed. So like, complete negligence.

The clinic arranged for a specialist surgeon to do a revision surgery and the rest of her ovary was removed. He called me privately and said he was highly suspicious of the tissue he took and has sent it to the lab. The lab found it to be a granulosa cell tumour. They recommended the dog to have CT scans every six months for two years to make sure it has not spread and that the specialist surgeon had indeed been sure to recover all the tumour. Please note: the ovary wasn't cancerous not cancerous to begin with, it turned into a tumour because it sat inside her with no blood flow to rot for 11 month.

At no point did the vets apologise, or take accountability, other than covering the cost, but they said it wasn't an omission of liability.

So, now we have reached out to the vet and asked that they pay for the continued CT treatment, considering they fucked up the original surgery. They have said no they won't, that they covered the cost of the revised surgery and that's that.

What would you do? This isn't really about money, we can afford to do this, but we don't think we should have to. Thoughts?
