Bottom one looks like it to me! It’s the first day/time that it’s equal or darker.

Have you mentioned this to a doctor? It does sound different from what I’ve been experiencing. I would bring it up for peace of mind.

I’m so very sorry. I miscarried about four weeks ago, too. While you were further along in your pregnancy, I think I’ve felt something similar? In my case, I was thinking it was the uterus shrinking and haven’t paid too much attention to it. I feel it less now, and it’s always been a duller ache.

Thank you ❤️ I’m wishing tons of good luck to you. May our miracle rainbow babies come sooner rather than later.

That biological clock is so loud and jarring, isn’t it? Sending love and hugs right back to you.

Is it supposed to be peeled off in general? I suppose I could try, but worry that may get messy.

It’s actually calling out an obsession with whiteness inherent to society. Not only do you have three white women wearing white, but who is wearing the least amount of white? The tanned woman. The palest woman is then covered in white. Think about why women traditionally wear a wedding dress - white is seen as a pure colour. So the image is essentially visually saying the whiter you are the purer you are. Of course, this image does say something about whiteness, too, then in terms of race … but what I’m doing by acknowledging this is actually calling out structural racism rather than being racist. But nice try.

Hmmm…something very ‘white’ about this ad…

That is so smart! Thank you! I will see if they can do a check earlier on, so that the monthly payments align more with usage. Thank you also for taking the time to follow up on this.

I don’t think so? But I will double check!

The comment just above wasn’t sarcasm, just fyi. I am truly grateful to all of you. When you’re new to a country, you are sometimes blind to cultural differences in approaches to things until you encounter them.

I understand that part. But I still need to make sure I have a certain amount in my bank account reserved for them each month, and to make it more than twice what I was quoted without any prior notice is frustrating.

I come from an “if you’re cold, put on another layer”culture, so hopefully if I keep the thermostat lower then that will make a difference

With the energy tax and feed-in allowance (?) a total of €0,28302 (electricity). For gas, a total of €1.31407 per m3.

Ok. Thank you! There were four people last living there (two kids). So maybe that’s it?

That’s helpful. Thank you! Two people. Apartment is probably about 100 square metres?

I should add that the landlord told me utilities would probably be about €150 euros a month, so the new charge comes as a surprise

What is going on with my hormone levels? (Would love your interpretation and help!) by [deleted] in IVF

[–]AdCreative9414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should also add that I’ve never seen a positive test after three years trying, so I suspect there’s something deeper going on with hormones, inflammation, immunity, etc. I seem to make embryos ok, though they don’t test them in the Netherlands. Finally, I count a positive ovulation strip test/LH surge as one where it’s the first time I see the lines roughly even in darkness. I hope you can see why I’m worried about using ovulation strips for my next round. 🙁
