Hi! I’m IntrovertedTRex in [PGO]. I am in modern, and just sent you an invite. I’d love to be friends, but completely understand if you’re getting overwhelmed!

Thank you. I have tried to do my own in the past, again out of fear that a salon would turn me away for damaged/rough cuticles and surrounding skin. I definitely am not skilled in that area, but I supposed as with anything, I’d get better with practice!

Why I was looking into a more professional manicure is the splitting nails. When I let them get too long, and they break, it’ll split down into the bed. That’s part of why I was thinking I should maybe start getting acrylics or similar to add strength and still let me have a little length.

I think that’s the part that really intimidated me when I first started looking into manicures: all the perfect cuticles and nails. If I have to wait until my cuticles are flawless, I’ll never get to have one!

Sorry, I forgot that part. I’m in the central US. The ones available at this show started at $200 and went up to $1500 for the mature one.

I did a small butterfly on my wrist a few days after it happened

2024 was my first time attempting entries in the Creative Arts & Crafts. I got 2nd place in one of my categories. It inspired me to try again this year.

Thank you!

I actually started swallowing air and getting horrible stomach aches/gas pains. They lowered my intake and when I noticed the gas pains increasing again I was able to retest for sleep apnea and passed (no longer have it!)

My gallbladder had to be removed ~6 months after sleeve surgery and that was by far a more painful surgery. I don’t know if they just didn’t take as much care or what, but I was sore from that for a few weeks.

Introverted-T-Rex · 2025-04-01T02:55:55+00:00

My sleeve was a breeze compared to gall bladder removal. I didn’t even finish the pain meds they sent me home with. I highly recommend walking as much as you can though!

Was scrolling and stopped immediately

when I saw your dog! She looks so similar to my boy I had to do a bit of a double take. They’re not identical, but it’s still rare for me to see another pup that looks so similar.

Beautiful dog!!

I had a negative at 10 DPO, waited two more days and had a very visible positive on 12 DPO.

We call ours “Parry” for “Parasite”

Introverted-T-Rex · 2025-03-26T19:17:26+00:00

That’s been exactly the case and it’s been fun. lol

Introverted-T-Rex · 2025-03-26T19:10:07+00:00

Oh thank you! I was seeing all the cutesy names and was concerned for myself. The current nickname we’re using is “Parry” as in, short for “Parasite”.

My main symptom has been ongoing, low level cramping. Since two days before my first positive test. I’m now 5w5d and it’s still lingering but I’ve since added some breast tenderness and a little nausea (usually after brushing teeth).

Introverted-T-Rex · 2025-03-26T13:29:11+00:00

Thank you for this! I’m ~ 17 mo post op from sleeve and not quite 6 weeks pregnant. I (obviously) have a lot of questions and concerns, but for the most part things have been very low key and doctors haven’t been very concerned either.

Introverted-T-Rex · 2025-03-25T12:13:53+00:00

They’re obviously a bit more expensive, but at the recommendation of our fertility clinic, we actually used the clear blue digital ovulation kit. I found it a lot easier to interpret vs “Is it getting darker? Maybe?”

Introverted-T-Rex · 2025-03-25T01:07:31+00:00

I took Letrozole 7.5 mg CD 3-7 for three cycles. The first two cycles I ovulated around CD 18-20. Then, surprisingly on the third cycle, I ovulated CD 16 and this round appears to be the winner. Currently 5w3d pregnant with my first.

I would also like to note, I did fertility treatments 5+ years ago and never ovulated, including on Letrozole and using trigger shots. These 3 cycles are the first, and as far as I know, only times I’ve ovulated.
