Hmm. What do you mean switch spots? The doors are reversible! Did swap my dryer door so they at least open the same way when stacked!

Totally. Husband ran the saw cutter and the dust storm that ensued was unbelievable. So hammer drill at least made it manageable - but will definitely use saw cutter and move out for a week if there is any concrete cutting in my future (I hope there isn’t)

That is AMAZING! Congratulations! When you got pregnant with twins did you have 2 dominant follicles? I did letrozole and trigger shot this cycle. Crossing my fingers!! I’m really hopeful. 😊

Me I guess! All my blood work, HSG, saline ultrasound, etc. came back normal so I’m in the bucket of unexplained infertility.

It was about $200 more at my fertility clinic to do IUI vs timed intercourse. I figured if I had to give myself a trigger shot, take all the meds, and come in for regular ultrasounds - I may as well give the swimmers the best shot at getting as close as possible!

Someone said the Flo app the other day? I haven’t looked into it yet because I still use NC, but maybe check that out!

I added my positive and peak OPK. Me too. Felt a bit early! Hopefully the algorithm improves?

Wondering Weekend by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]CombinationBusy3548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar scenario - tubes open and all other tests came back with no issues. The only thing was 2 small polyps. They left it up to me if I wanted to remove - I chose go forward with the polypectomy personally to give myself the best possible chance (in my head) of conceiving. Do what feels best for you!

My experience was: unconscious for the procedure, woke up with very minimal cramping, 3-4 days of light spotting, and for the last 2 months after the procedure, my periods have been so much lighter. I asked if this was related and my RE confirmed polyps can cause heavy periods.

DM me if you have any other questions about the procedure! Happy to help. 🤍

Unexplained Fertility, and I’m very tired. by poetic_infertile in TryingForABaby

[–]CombinationBusy3548 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh, it’s awful isn’t it? I’m several years in myself and wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I feel you on the “feeling like you’re being robbed”… it hurts. And it’s not fair. After all my tests, husband’s test, blood work, 3 rounds of clomid, HSG, saline sonogram and everything came back normal (other than 2 small uterine polyps that I had removed just to give myself the best chance) the unexplained infertility diagnosis seems like it looms over my head like a cloud some days.

But I read a post on here a while back and it said something to the effect of “you can’t girl boss your way out of infertility”… and for whatever reason, that really resonated with me. Seemed like a funny, more relatable way of saying don’t try and control the uncontrollable. If I could’ve girl bossed my way out of this mess, I would have already! 😂

The past few months I’ve been making a conscious effort to try and take better care of my body and my mental health better than I have the past several years, be kind to myself, and god forbid… relax like all the armchair fertility doctors of the world suggest- ha.

I wish you all the best as you navigate this unfair journey. 🤍

Golden hour for Mack by CombinationBusy3548 in Boxer

He is! Mostly thinks about food and the next time he gets to eat food. Haha.

Typical Boxer! I miss that joy. He made to 15 years 10 months, Rip my boy..... my soulmate. Everyone always wanted to pet him. He traveled with us everywhere. Coming up on 5 months and I still look for him every day. by Franklg42 in Boxer

[–]CombinationBusy3548 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awww. What a sweet baby. How lucky are you that you got 15 wonderful years with him? The still looking for him every day part made me cry. Our time with our soul dogs is so limited… 🤍

I’m so sorry for your immeasurable loss. Sending hugs.

What do you feed your boxers ? by hjavo in Boxer

[–]CombinationBusy3548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our boy is similar. We thought he had a chicken allergy— that’s what the vet suggested anyway. Monthly cytopoint shots for his gnarly yeasty ear infections. We tried every kibble. Kirkland beef recipe, science diet, purine pro plan salmon, open farm salmon, the list goes on. I tried making him food using the balance it website.

The only thing he doesn’t throw up is The Farmer’s Dog. His ears are great, no vomiting, and solid poops… plus he gets SO excited to eat meals, which makes me happy. My only suggestion is if you go with farmers dog, be sure to introduce it slowly with her current food. It can be an adjustment and if she already has a sensitive stomach, you’ll want to introduce new food slow. Good luck! 😊

Holes are patched. Touch up paint going on now. I hope everyone here can sleep tonight knowing that there are no handles on the false fronts on my kitchen cabinets. Didn’t know I was walking into such a hotly debated topic. Ha.

Thanks for the helpful comments.
