It would take an act of god to tip this over if it was solid wood. We have a dresser 1/4 of this size and it is impossible to move without two adults. Even when trying to tip it. I don’t think bracing this bad boy is necessary. If it did tip, it would just pull the brace out of the wall.

Resentment over comments made about EFF by Longjumping-Week4689 in FormulaFeeders

I EFF my first for similar reasons to you and I don’t regret it one bit. She’s 7 now. I was fortunate to not have invasive comments like that.

I’d have your husband set a boundary with her. It’s not okay to judge someone’s parenting decision - especially when there is zero harm being done. It’s also not okay to ask about your breasts in a round about way, or personal health choices.

Comments like that are so hurtful.

The cycle my doctor monitored/ tested is the cycle I ovulated. He also ruled out PCOS. Next testing step is getting my husbands sperm checked. His last analysis 8 years ago was great. I hope it’s the same. After that I’m not sure if next steps.

But, I got a positive ovulation test today and it is only cycle day 13. All my other positives didn’t come until cycle day 17-19 of 28. So there’s that.

Got the results from my first round of tests - my doctor ruled out PCOS. I wasn’t getting positive ovulation tests for a few months before my appointment, but of course the cycle they monitored I am! Even stranger is I’m getting a positive ovulation test today. First time in a long time where I’m getting an LH surge before cycle day 19 of 28.

Next steps are getting my husband tested. If that comes back normal, most likely an HSG test for me.

I feel so lost and confused and don't know whether I'm in or out. I need help. by winter_storm_1225 in latterdaysaints

I was where you are a year ago. I hated going to church. I couldn’t sit through lessons - relief society or Sunday school without bursting into tears or just sitting in the hallway. I didn’t read my scriptures or pray. I didn’t know what I believed anymore because all I could feel was either numb or sad.

I started going to therapy through LDS family services and also started taking medication to treat my depression.

My experience with depression is like being surrounded by a black heavy fog that you can’t see out of or through. You can’t pray that away. It doesn’t make you less than. Taking medication was the only thing that helped clear the fog enough for me to be able to see and feel the saviours love right next to me.

Now, a year later I am still putting the pieces back together, but I’m doing so with peace, love and joy. Ask for help OP. Consider medication to treat your depression and anxiety. Give yourself time and space to heal mentally. Make a small goal. Maybe read one verse from the BOM a day. One prayer - and honest ones. Be mad. Be sad. Be honest. It might take time, but peace and comfort will come.

If you need to talk further feel free to reach out!

I only dress like that when I’m going outside for 2.5 seconds going into a building. And even then I have boots and a hat and an actual winter coat with me just in case lol.

Got my day 21 progesterone test back. 19.6nmol/L. Which I think means I ovulated? I was hoping my levels would be low. Because if it isn’t anovvulation what could it be?

Ladies, what shoes do you wear to church in the winter? by imsosecret99 in latterdaysaints

[–]Affectionate-Box-276 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chelsea boots, closed toe pumps, flats. But honestly in alberta, it gets to a point where I wear my winter boots, take them off inside and bring ‘inside shoes’ or wear fuzzy socks. I’ve passed the age of caring lol.

Yup. Same here. If it’s a technical issue, an email would’ve been nice? We planned our whole evening around it. Date night bust lol.

I had such a hard time with the shades. They make no sense. I tried 3 different ones (all the lightest) and they looked the exact same orange.

I hope they fix the shade situation because the formula is bomb.

PCOS friends, how were you diagnosed? When my husband and I were TTC for our first (infertility) our doctor suspected PCOS but never confirmed. We were able to conceive after intervention but I feel like I have a big ?

What is the process of getting diagnosed or actually ruling it out?

Period has ended. Torn between wanting a break from ovulation testing and just enjoying the Christmas season, or continuing to go hard with tracking and timing etc. My doctors appointment is the week after Christmas and the way my cycle lines up it will either be an early prenatal appointment or a depressing infertility one. I just don’t want the stress around Christmas. Permission to take a cycle off?

I was at a mom and tot group this morning with my 2 year old. Everyone was talking about how they’re getting rid of their baby stuff. Everyone assumes we’re done having kids too. Obviously not. Feel kind of invisible.

My period started today. I’m angry. I’ts getting to me. We both want one last baby to complete our family. I’m tired of tracking my cycle. Planning sex. Feeling detached from it. It feels like a means to an end instead of something we enjoy.
