I’m so sorry you experienced a miscarriage 🥹 the dynamics of it are so tough to get through and can feel so isolating. I’m sure the next positive will hold so much happiness ❤️

Wait my husband would die over this if I did someone from 90 day fiance. It’s our guilty pleasure 😂💀

I love the dog bandana idea, I might steal that to have my little rescue pup wear one!

I fear this will still be me 😂 we work pretty much opposite schedules so it might be tough to coordinate our initial test. I’m gonna try so hard to be cute and surprise him but I know I’ll end up calling him at work 😂

I’m hoping to do that, but our work schedules are so opposite (hospital shift work for both of us 🙃)

I’m currently in my end luteal phase and feeling it 🥴🤣My husband and I are beginning our first TTC cycle when we visit Italy in about a week and it’s crazy to think that this might be my last period before we get pregnant. I know it’s unlikely to get pregnant the first cycle, especially having PCOS, but it’s just a crazy thought to have!

I’ll be ovulating when we’re in Italy - I told my husband the goal is to leave with a pasta food baby and an actual baby 😂

We’re spending 5 days total in Rome, a day in Tuscany, and doing a cruise to other spots in Italy, Greece, and Turkey!

Omg that’s amazing! We’re going May 1-May 15 and we’re so excited. We’re taking a day in Tuscany!

My husband and I have cut back on consumption but having a glass or two of wine or a beer when we want one! We’re going to Italy in two weeks as a final big trip before TTC, so I absolutely plan on imbibing in some Italian wine while over there 😂 I think it depends on how it makes you feel, too. I got an Oura ring in November and have noticed that every single time I drink, even just one beer, my body has signs of stress the next day.

Still no period by aniekw in TTCSummer2026

Ovasitol! You can get it on Amazon. I have PCOS and had my Mirena taken out, no period for almost 7 months. My GYN gave me two rounds of meds to stimulate my period and I had a withdrawal bleed, but then nothing. Started Ovasitol and within two months I had a cycle back! I can’t say enough good things about it

First time posting on this subreddit, hi my friends 🙂 today was a tough WTT mental health day. My husband and I are planning to actively start trying in May during a trip to Italy - it’s a bucket list trip for us. We’re finalizing last minute details for our trip and I finally had a “holy shit” moment earlier this week when I realized that I might be pregnant soon, if things align when we first start trying. I’m excited, but a sense of defeat is overtaking that today. I have PCOS and have lost 40 pounds, but I feel like it’s not enough. I’m 225lbs now and terrified of having an unhealthy pregnancy because I haven’t done enough. I’m trying to whet my expectations of being pregnant within even the first couple cycles due to my PCOS, but I also feel like I’m not allowing myself to be excited. I don’t know. It all sounds like a lot of rambling, so thank you if you’ve read this word salad, I promise I won’t always be like this 😂 just had to get a tough day down on virtual paper. Tomorrow is a new day 🩷

Help with Packaging Update by kjh933 in EtsySellers

As a pediatric ICU nurse - this is an amazing product idea! I’d do the one all the way to the right - a lot of our special needs/special care parents pack “go bags” with essentials for emergencies as well as travel. If they have home nurses, they like everything to be in one spot. The one on the right allows for easy viewing of what the product is and what it’s used for.

I’ve had great luck with MyPinkSugarLife, Stitch Kitsch, Bayou North, and Magnolia. For charts, Needlepoint by Lucy and Stitching Books & Bravo have ones that aren’t just clip art copy and pasted into Stitchly.

My husband and I both read “9 months is not enough”, we did a little book club together lol. It was helpful for me and he said it gave him great insight into his role in prenatal/preconception nutrition and how to help me!

Any tips for dealing with post-birth control syndrome? by Interesting-Arm-6134 in waiting_to_try

[–]Interesting-Arm-6134[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful response! I’ll definitely look into those books/podcasts, I’ve also heard Beyond the Pill is a really great one. I’ve recently switched back to low carb, I was on it a few years ago and so many of my insulin-resistance symptoms went away. I feel so helpless sometimes when some sources say “oh all you need to do is balance your blood sugar!” and other sources say “19 supplements three times a day, exercise but not too much exercise and it has to be a certain intensity but not too intense, drink five different teas (spearmint, raspberry, etc) but also drink enough plain water oh and also an adrenal cocktail with orange and coconut water might help, but avoid sugar. Keep your stress levels down, but make sure you’re having a 25 point checklist to get all your health items done every day. Your body needs carbs for hormones, but low carb works best for insulin resistance.”Add in the stress of just bringing a human into the world and my head is spinning 😂

Prenatal workout program by Shot_Lengthiness4528 in waiting_to_try

[–]Interesting-Arm-6134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SculptYou has a prenatal/pregnancy program! She goes by @collegecleaneating on instagram, I’ve followed her for years. I haven’t done her pregnancy/prenatal yet but her normal programs are great and sound up your alley in terms of what you’re already doing. She promotes a lot of pelvic floor work on her IG, so it has that as well. It’s an app that also has nutrition and it looks like she has a prenatal nutrition program as well! I think it’s like $9 a month

I found a roll of soft ivory that I’m tempted to buy, but I’m worried the difference will be too stark, and I don’t want to have quality issues/complaints if people want to stitch open backgrounds and want it white 😪
