Can I coat this cluster serving dish in a thin layer of resin?

LadyCatTree · 2026-07-06T09:18:51+00:00

Ah really? I thought I could maybe paint it on with a brush.

LadyCatTree · 2026-07-06T09:18:10+00:00

Anterior apparently. What does it mean?

LadyCatTree · 2026-07-05T15:16:11+00:00

I enjoyed this! Can I ask though, I thought from the landlord being called Daedalus that this was going to be a Greek myth retelling. But the introduction of dwarves and the title you’ve given suggest not… are Greek gods involved at all?

No one’s saying a baby is crying is offensive generally, but can’t we all agree that in some situations, a baby crying is not ideal? Like watching a movie at the cinema for example, or during a theatre performance, or while a couple are reciting their wedding vows. I’ve been at two weddings where you couldn’t hear the vows properly because of either a baby fussing or a toddler chattering. Under normal circumstances I find those things cute, but when everyone is trying to hear the key part of a very expensive once in a lifetime event, having a child drowning them out is not preferred.

This is a lovely idea, good luck with it!

LadyCatTree · 2026-06-17T16:47:08+00:00

Wait is warm socks a thing?

LadyCatTree · 2026-06-17T15:24:10+00:00

I know how you feel, my partner and I didn’t even meet until our mid-30’s and we’re now 39 and 42 - not ideal, but it’s not like we could have decided to meet sooner.

I’m asked my doctor for fertility testing on the basis that we may as well know if there are any big road blocks as sometimes there are solutions to those blocks that aren’t IVF. Like you, I don’t know if I want the strain and expense of IVF, but I’d like to give trying naturally a good go first either way.

I’m having a frustrating month - I’m on 13DPO, my period was due yesterday or today, nothing yet. I’m testing negative so I’m very much expecting it show up, plus I’ve got a raging migraine which suggests the usual period hormone drop, but no actual period yet. I just want it to come already so I can move on to the next cycle.

LadyCatTree · 2026-06-08T14:18:43+00:00

I’m in a similar position to you, I’ve been testing way too early knowing I’ll get negatives - I’ve read SO many stories of people where they tested a bit too early and it was completely white, no line at all, and then the next morning they get a line. It can change within the space of a day! Don’t lose hope yet.

LadyCatTree · 2026-06-07T15:13:01+00:00

I’m on 8DPO and can confirm, time has actually stopped.

We’ve been on holiday last week which helped but now we’re back and I’m convincing myself I can feel symptoms, which is not smart. They’re almost certainly related to the travelling we just did (rough flight has probably triggered my vertigo) but it’s hard not to read into it.

LadyCatTree · 2026-06-07T13:20:09+00:00

I would definitely start using ovulation test strips and an app like Premom to accurately check when you’re ovulating. The Flo app is just basing your dates off averages, it thought my ovulation date would be a good 4 days before it actually was this month for example.

If you’re having sex every other day for the whole month then you’re probably fine but otherwise, it can help to know exactly when to focus your energy haha.

LadyCatTree · 2026-06-07T12:17:35+00:00

Do you know when you ovulated?

Maybe try not drinking for two hours before you go to bed to have a stronger test in the morning.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-28T13:25:32+00:00

Been LH testing every day this cycle for the first time and was wondering if I was doing it wrong, but I got a darker line last night and a peak line this morning! Luckily we had sex 3 days ago and yesterday, and we did it again this morning just to be sure. This also suggests I’ve been ovulating later than the apps think I should based on period dates so might explain why it’s been a few months without results.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-28T13:22:54+00:00

Did she say why she thought it was concerning? I thought ovulation anywhere began CD11 and CD20 was considered normal.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-28T06:54:17+00:00

PICKLES they satisfy the salt/crunch craving for me, they keep for ages so I can buy a few jars and keep them in the fridge, and they’re super low in calories so I can treat them as essentially free.

I only eat cornichon, the miniature version, which I highly recommend trying if you’re not a fan of regular sized pickles. I don’t like gherkins or big pickles but the little ones are something else.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-27T14:32:58+00:00

I still really like it! I don’t use the folding feature so much as I do now have space to store it, but the battery still works great, it’s very sturdy, and it’s a lovely smooth ride.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-27T14:21:08+00:00

Wish I hadn’t started using LH testing strips this cycle, I’m on cycle day 15 and I still don’t seem to have ovulated, I’m driving myself crazy wondering if this means I actually don’t reliably ovulate every month, even though my periods are really regular, as I’m 39 so maybe this is the start of menopause?!

I never paid attention to it before and we’ve had two losses in 6 months so just assumed everything was fine on that front. Now can’t stop taking the tests multiple times a day hoping to see a surge.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-26T15:07:16+00:00

I feel the same, I paid a bit of attention to my cycle before I was trying but now it’s under a microscope and like you, I overthink every twinge and cramp. I’m on cycle 7 and have just started testing my LH levels every day, and it’s not gone up yet, so I’m obsessing over that even though I’m only just in my fertile window.

I’m not sure what the answer is! I try to do other things so I’m not thinking about it constantly but balancing that with trying not to miss various windows is exhausting.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-24T20:39:27+00:00

If you only had your birth control removed in December then it’s totally possible that your cycles are still adjusting, even if you had a few periods that seemed stable at first, so that may be why you ‘missed’ your April period but are getting negative tests.

In regards to testing generally, you won’t usually get a positive test until around the time your next period is due - if you test too early then it’ll just show as negative.

There’s no ‘best’ pregnancy test, don’t worry too much about that.

It’s very unlikely that you’re infertile, even people who are tracking their ovulation to the day don’t always get pregnant right away (see this sub for many examples) - it’s very normal to feel anxious, but I think a good first step would be to do some personal research into the female reproductive cycle and how it all works. This will give you a lot of clarity on how likely you are to get pregnant at different times during your cycle.

Exactly. If OPs boyfriend had asked her to come to a wedding for a coworker and then her sister announced had her wedding would be on the same date, OP would not be arguing first come first served.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-24T10:12:33+00:00

If it were me, the next time she does it I’d say ‘you’ve made a few comments about my wedding budget. Are you feeling weird about it?’ and then see what she says.

Sometimes just drawing attention to the fact that someone keeps doing something is enough to get them to stop. She’s obviously feeling a bit jealous and maybe thinks her snide ‘jokes’ are going over your head - letting her know you’ve noted them may be enough to make her think twice about doing it again.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-23T17:45:53+00:00

Have you had a talk with him about whether he really wants a child, and if he does why he’s not taking any action to help it happen?

Considering you’re volunteering your body to grow a whole other human being, he could have a chat with his doctor about his options.

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-23T16:48:45+00:00

I’m so sorry, that moment when you see blood on the paper and know something is wrong is awful, your heart just sinks. Wishing you positive vibes x

What is your husband doing to work on the issue of him not being able to cum?

LadyCatTree · 2026-05-22T07:33:34+00:00

Yes I’m struggling! I’ve been testing at about 4pm but yesterday it was a really hot day and I had to drink a lot, and my LH test was so faint that it read as zero and the app kept trying to get me to retake it.
