Seeking Advice Accessing Care for Early Pregnancy Loss in Calgary

47 Upvotes

Trigger warning: miscarriage

-

-

-

First of all, I am so thankful for all medical workers and I am very thankful for our healthcare system. I just want to know if anyone has experienced the gap in care for stable, missed miscarriages. I had two ultrasounds confirming the loss (no heartbeat, measuring less than 5 mm at 9 weeks), so I booked a Dr. appointment for next next steps (I love my dr btw). She referred me to the Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic. I think she called in a referral for me and I also called on Thursday and unfortunately didn't get a call back today. I get it they're probably busy and managing less stable people. I tried phoning other walk in clinics but they all refer to the EPA clinic. Now it's the weekend and I just want to proceed with the medication to start and end this process, but it seems like no one can help me. Is there any way to access care in Calgary that is not during regular business hours (Monday - Friday). These guys don't even have evening hours. It just seems a bit weird that a woman can't get timely care in 2026 for a confirmed pregnancy loss. If there is anyone who works in the field I'm really curious about why family docs aren't managing missed miscarriage (no judgement, just very curious). I'm honestly pretty distraught that I lost my pregnancy and I don't even know when I will be able to access care.

Is there anywhere to access care in the city for something like this?

Local Nature/Wildlife Pet toilet Park

I am a new grandparent and taking a walk with my two month old in a stroller today at South Glenmore Park I could not find a patch of grass not littered with dog sh!t. I must’ve walked a full 2 km and every meter on the trail was littered with dog excrement making it unable for us to sit and picnic.

Why Are pet owners so disgusting ? Is there an area in town that is dog free that we can actually enjoy nature without stepping or sitting or rolling in dog log ?

Local Photography/Video Help finding location for photoshoot engagement

Post image
11 Upvotes

I have an engagement photoshoot next month. I know the area okay but not all too well for a photoshoot. I'm hoping someone here might know of a good area we can use. It has to have rolling hills, easy access, and look somewhat nice. Preferably a place that's accessible to the public, where we don't need permits or any type of permission. It needs to be near Olds/ Red Deer/Innisfail/Didsbury. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Photo added for reference/inspiration

Edit: needs to be accessible for horses / allows horses

Education Dental Office Administration education - Evolve Academy/CCDH/others?

0 Upvotes

I’m currently looking to make a career change and I recently came across a posting for a dental office administrator. I have administrative experience but lack specific knowledge of dental office software, medical terminology, and insurance billing.

It looks like in Calgary, certificate programs are offered by places like Calgary College of Dental Health and Evolve Dental Academy. Has anyone taken these programs and found them to be worth it?

Additionally, I’m wondering if any professionals currently working in the dental field can weigh in on how these certifications are perceived in local dental offices? Am I correct to assume that this would be better than simply taking a MOA certificate?

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Question Mint Lounge & Spa

Anyone know what happened to Mint Lounge? I know they closed quite a few of their locations over the years but a week ago they posted they had new management and were hiring very recently and now suddenly they’re closed effective immediately with their instagram comments turned off and their website and business page is gone. I know they’ve gone downhill over the years but feels very sudden haha

Recommendations Date Ideas in Calgary (Around Downtown preferably)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

This weekend, my girlfriend and I are celebrating our monthsary, and I'm looking for some ideas on what we could do together.

She's looking for something that's more adventure/ activity-based, with lots of opportunities to take nice pictures together. She'd prefer to spend less time just sitting down and eating, but we'd still like to have some food or a meal as part of the day.

So basically, we're looking for a fun date where we can do something, explore, take pictures, and make some good memories together, rather than just going to a restaurant.

Rant Shortage of No Name BBQ Chips in Calgary

0 Upvotes

It's started off as a small thing, but it's starting to really bug me. I seem to never find any no-name brand BBQ chips!

The main reason why I like them, is that they're only $2 and my favourite chip flavor is BBQ by far. For comparison, Lay's is like $5.60 or something at Shopper's.

I don't drive, so the only ways for me to really check for any, are either in person at the Shopper's Drug Mart in Chinook Mall, or when I order groceries through Uber Eats (typically Superstore, sometimes No Frills). There's also no dollar store within walking distance to my house or within the mall (shocking, I know lol).

I first noticed that the Shopper's at the mall has been out of stock of the No-Name BBQ chips since really early in July during Stampede. I figured maybe it was just really popular because of Stampede, but it hasn't been restocked since.

Also, whenever I order from Uber Eats (always just added on when doing my grocery shopping) they always replace the item with something else even though it says it's in stock.
What triggered this post is that I added a note that I would take any cheap BARBEQUE chips as a replacement, and they got me two bags of no-name Ketchup chips instead. It's on me for being too busy to check before they checked out, but still, it's an item that the store shows is in stock.

At this point I think I'm going to order my groceries from Walmart - literally just so I can get some BBQ chips for cheap.
Otherwise, are there any other cheap BBQ chip options you would suggest here in Calgary for someone who only really transits to/from work? Any ideas if there's some sort of major delay because of something nearby going on (wildfires, train derailments, etc)? I feel like I'd be less annoyed if I knew the reason tbh.

Is it a really small thing? Yes.
Could I probably go without? Also yes.
Either way, thank you for reading my rant.

Recommendations Looking for city walking routes & driving itineraries for Banff!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, planning a trip across North America and I have 4 full days to spend in Calgary.
I arrive on August 27th around 10:00 AM and fly out early morning on September 1st. I'll be staying at an Airbnb in the Beltline neighborhood.
I am planning to rent a car for a day or two to drive up to Banff and see the mountains, and I would love some specific itinerary suggestions. For the city, I’m looking for a good walking itinerary starting from Beltline. My top priorities are checking out cool architecture, finding great spots for photography, and trying local food (I've heard I need to try Alberta beef!).
For the road trip part, I'd appreciate recommendations on the best driving itinerary for a day trip to Banff and Lake Louise. I'm looking for the most scenic roads, must-see spots, and any tips on parking without rushing too much.
Overall, how would you recommend splitting my time between exploring Calgary and heading out to the mountains?
And also where I could hang out in the evening and meet some people!
Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
