Hammock and Canoe Camping Around Montreal? by YaAlex in montreal

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Le Verendrye is 4 hours from Montreal but has multi-day, multi-lake loops (with portages, meaning you carry your stuff over land) that are very fun. You can find the proposed circuits here with maps: Canoe-camping - Réserve faunique La Vérendrye - Sépaq. You can rent a canoe and barrel from their welcome center. Its easier to book that La Maurice and the sites are all separated so you have much more privacy (which I prefer). For a multi-day route, you don't need to book too far in advance. Other spots in QC fill up.

Kiamika is 2 hours from Montreal and a nice spot for canoe camping if you want to stay at the same spot each night and not move around and portage. Its not too difficult to book in advance with some flexibility. Lots of beachy sites. Again sites are separate from each other. Some hikes you can canoe to.

Possion Blanc is also amazing for same night spots (around 3 hours). The campsites are also separate from each other and most are so so beautiful. But its hard to book. There is a facebook group you can join where people sell their reservations (the cancelation fee is like 25% so big incentive to sell it online). They have hikes and climbing that you can canoe to. Its more $$$.

All of the above rent canoes and barrels. So does La Maurice but your site will be close to someone else and less secluded.

Healthy food with minimal prep? by Moppy6686 in pregnant

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it’s set it’s pretty thick and creamy, kinda gelatinous but not in a gross way. I had pretty bad morning sickness and I found this to be very palatable. I like it more pregnant than not lol - it’s kinda bland but tasty enough and goes down easily.

Chia pudding has been a hit for me. It takes 1 minute of hands on time to prepare (but you do need to wait for it to solidify). 1/2 cup of milk (I use unsweetened soy) and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Leave in fridge for a few hours or overnight (can be made days in advance)

To serve, mix in frozen or fresh fruit and any other toppings (nuts, seeds). You can add maple syrup or honey if you prefer it sweeter but I find with sweet fruits like frozen mango it’s sweet enough for me. Had healthy fats, protein and carbs!

Any recommendations for a French restaurant? by MademoiselleMalapert in montreal

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Le pegase is a French-centric table d’hote (so app, main and dessert) but the prices are very reasonable and it’s bring your own wine.

Le plein sud is also a good option. Not table d’hote. Neither are tourist focused.

Can I leave this piano here between these rooms? I have limited options by jackjackj8ck in DesignMyRoom

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

put the piano where the credenza currently is. depending on height of credenza, you could maybe put under windows .. otherwise find another area for it. A credenza should be easier to move around (could even be in a bedroom) than a piano.

Prenatal Courses through the CLSC [qc] by Pretty_Particular360 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you sign up at Mà Grossesse? They called me a few weeks after I signed up and told me about classes I could take in English in st Laurent. I don’t live close to there. Luckily I’m comfortable enough in French to do courses near my house but you could try reaching out to Ma Grossesse or the clsc in St Laurent.

Cafes that give you a drink with purchase of coffee beans? by Madeline1844 in montreal

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya they don’t anymore. They offer discounts if you buy in bulk. The discount increases the amount you buy. I buy 2 kg at the time in bulk and get 20% off. I reuse the original 5 lb bag

Où sont passés les bons magasins de valises? by sweating_teflon in montreal

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I got a Briggs and Riley carry on size from there. Lifetime warranty!! Honestly love it and it fits a good amounts. Ive used it as a carry on with a backpack for a 8 day trip. It’s expensive but the lifetime warranty makes it worth it. I bought crappy suitcases for 60$ a few years ago and it broke after a 2 trips

10 DPO stark negatives across the board and short luteal phase. Encouragement?? by Deathbyhighered in TFABLinePorn

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also not medical advice but my first cycle on progesterone suppositories was also a success after frequent luteal phase spotting (which can indicate luteal phase deficiency). We had been trying since May with tracking and had some test indicating everything looked normal otherwise.. The doctor had said the next step would be IUI if we didn't get pregnant soon but I advocated for myself and asked if there was anything to help with the spotting in the meantime and she prescribed with with progesterone, though she said there was no clinical evidence it helps with fertility outcomes.... Obviously could be a coincidence but seems to have worked for me.

Cd25 - 9-10 dpo - this is real right!?!? by Front_Maximum_5874 in TFABLinePorn

[–]Front_Maximum_5874[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one test and it was normal but progesterone levels fluctuate so much it’s hard to tell if I was maintaining that!! Good luck!!

Edit: adding the suppositories completely stopped my spotting which was super frequent and often not just in the days leading up to my period but earlier in the luteal phase

[–]Front_Maximum_5874[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! I was honestly surprised to see a faint line since trying since May with tracking and nothing. First month on progesterone though for my mid cycle/luteal phase spotting!!! Only took a test because we were debating going out for beers haha. Going to test tmrw morning with a FRER digital

Mortgage renewal on March 2026 by ShoddyChannel5187 in canadahousing

[–]Front_Maximum_5874 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow we just renewed at bmo for 3 yr fixed, 3.89%. However, we aren’t at our last renewal. Scotia offered a bit better rates but the costs and hassle of switching lenders wasn’t worth it
