First off, sorry if I’m looking at the wrong file here.
So, my husband has had this "thing" on his lower lip for about a month now. It's really bothering him and just won't go away, so he started Googling it (yeah, I know, Google is basically the worst when it comes to medical stuff). The only thing even remotely similar he could find was skin cancer. We're obviously going to see a doctor ASAP because his job is super high-stress, he's a smoker, and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what it is. I'm trying my best to keep him calm until we get an actual professional opinion, but he asked me to post this here, hoping maybe someone might have some smart advice... I've attached the photo below. Thanks 🙂
So, my three-year-old son was just diagnosed with tinea capitis by his dermatologist. He’s had this bald patch on the back of his head about the size of a quarter for a while now—like two months, actually. We tried some tincture, but that didn't do much, and even when we were super diligent about applying Lasizil (we used to be pretty hit-or-miss with it, I guess)🙈
About ten days after I first noticed it on him (and the doctor already confirmed it's a mushroom infection), a spot popped up on my shoulder. Then, two weeks after me, our pug got it too.
I read online that you can get this from cats or dogs, but I'm wondering... is it possible my pug didn't actually bring it in? She's strictly an indoor dog and we keep her really clean. Maybe he picked it up at daycare instead? (Kind of like how kids pick up strep or something)
We've been fighting this for so long, and lately, even my mother-in-law🤷 has caught it. Does anyone know more about this stuff? I try reading English articles, but they're honestly pretty confusing even when I use a translator.
How did you guys treat it, and how long did it take to clear up?
🙂Please help, I'm seriously losing it here. We've started joking that we're basically the mushroom family.😬

If he’s really that obsessed with money, tell him to pick Ivanka Trump to be his best man instead! What is he expecting, for you to go out and buy him a beachfront condo in Miami!?
🙂
When we picked our godparents, we just went with my husband's best man since we were already close with them. My husband wasn't even really tight with him back then—they weren't hanging out much. Plus, they can't have kids, so we actually thought twice about the money side of things, you know? Like, how do you return a gift from a wedding when you're doing a christening now? In the end, though, he's just super happy to be the godfather. He sees it as an honor, not some big expense.
I think the levels might start out somewhere around 1,000. I'm not totally sure, though. Just tell them to run a pregnancy test. Honestly, if you aren't pregnant, there shouldn't be any hormone in your system at all.😘
I don't want to get your hopes up too high, but I was actually already pregnant when I had my last period—it felt just like what you’re describing, just this really light, watery spotting... Then, the very next day, I took a test and it was positive.
Like Kevin Lee4 mentioned, sometimes you just have a period that feels totally off. But seriously, don't rush into testing too early. For me, the test actually came back negative the day after that spotting stopped!
I'm crossing my fingers that this is the real deal for you!😘
John Rodriguez9 said:So, I’m thinking about picking up one of those pregnancy tests along with my boyfriend, just so we can both find out if I’m actually... you know... expecting? But here's the thing: how on earth am I supposed to break the news that I think I might be pregnant without making it super awkward? How do you even start that conversation?😕
Hey, listen... I think I might be pregnant.😬 Jokes aside, if you’re in such a serious relationship that you guys are actually planning on buying a kit and building it together, why can't you just tell him what's bothering you? I mean, I guess if things are that deep, you should be able to talk, right? Maybe.
I don't know how old you are, since you're talking about gym class and all, but honestly? You should probably see a doctor... Maybe you’re pregnant and just having a really light period, or maybe you had a miscarriage, or even just some weird hormone imbalance or something.. My best advice is to just go get checked out as soon as possible.😘
Linda Hernandez15 said:We could totally set up some kind of charity drive... you know, like one quick phone call and you're done. I mean, if we did it here in the States, it would probably just be one quick message saying "hey, donate" and that's it. Maybe. Or something like that. $1.75 Maybe for the maternity ward or something? I guess. 😁 I guess the whole thing would just snap right now. Maybe. 🤣
😂 😂 I mean, I guess I really need to start some kind of home business... maybe like making pregnancy tests? Just an idea, I guess.😁
Thomas Phillips2, I’m crossing my fingers for you and a smooth flight.😘 It’s kind of wild, isn't it? One expectant mom is waiting on her little one, while another is basically making a grand entrance into our lives. Do you happen to have a webcam or something so we can watch this historic moment live?😍
The instructions say you're only supposed to dip that little indicator at the top of the stick. If you soaked the whole thing, maybe that's why things look weird. I'd probably just head over to Planned Parenthood to be safe. Especially if it’s already been three months!😲 Either you're pregnant or your hormones are just acting up...
granitefalcon46, huge congrats!!!😘 🙂 🙂 Man, there have been so many babies lately! I feel like such an old lady hanging out here now, even though it feels like I just joined the group yesterday...🙂
Jeremy Nelson3 said:well okay, I feel a bit better now... I'm starting to get a little paranoid though... like maybe something is actually wrong with my ovaries or whatever, and also just one more thing: do you guys notice way more discharge during sex?
Having sex while pregnant (I was reading about this😬) can actually be better than usual because there’s more natural lubrication, so everything feels way smoother and more intense!😉
Benjamin Nelson8 said:crimsoncrane3, don't even sweat it. Mine didn't kick in until week seven, and honestly, I still feel them sometimes (and we're almost at 18 weeks 😍 ). Maybe you're just one of those lucky ones who skips the morning sickness entirely.
More like 17 plus 5! I know how I am. Weekend sex!🤣
crimsoncrane3 said:Benjamin Nelson8, I haven't had any miscarriages (thank Bog!), and when I went for my checkup back in February, everything with my ovaries looked totally fine. But how am I supposed to know if cysts have popped up since then? Or if it’s an ectopic pregnancy? 😲 How can I tell on my own? Am I waiting too long to get checked out? 😲 And seriously, if it actually is an ectopic pregnancy, how would I even know? What should I be doing in the meantime? Besides taking prenatal vitamins and eating healthy? Girls, help me out!!!
crimsoncrane3, glad you could join us!😘 And hey, things look a little brighter now with those scary predictions out of the way!🙂 Go for your ultrasound after the 6th week. If you go earlier than that, they might just see a tiny little dot and nothing else. I actually went in during my 5th week because I'd dealt with an ectopic pregnancy before, and I just wanted to make sure the little nugget was safely tucked away in the oven and not stuck in the chimney.😬 That kind of thing is super rare though. For now, just try to soak up the excitement of being pregnant and hang out with us in the pregnancy group!😘
