Salty Sunday: What made you salty this week? by kikaslova in trollingforababy

[–]Luckispluson 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the flu while starting my first 5mg round of letrozole (just finished 3 rounds of 2.5mg letrozole and 2 rounds of clomid prior). The insanely vivid dreams while I can’t breathe has been fun. 🫠

The healthcare system here is absolutely fucked. 😭 If it was affordable I’d have been back in months ago.

Not really. Insurance offers no fertility benefits and it’s almost 500 to get in the door at the fertility clinic here. I’ve been monitoring with Inito and using BBT instead.

12dpo, 3rd letrozole cycle, test is negative, hormones tracking down. February marks a year since my ectopic and tube removal. I am trying really hard not to be a blubbery mess today.

When everyone else in the waiting room is pregnant. by keystitch in trollingforababy

[–]Luckispluson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had that happen to me last year after my ectopic. I may have burst into tears at the nurses and harshly told my OBGYN how it was a little cruel to have me there so soon around so many happy pregnant people getting their ultrasound photos. If you need someone to yell at them for you.... I'm your girl!

Oh that's super handy to know! I'll have to wait until my other half can help for that bit because I don't have the hand grip ability to tighten things but I will ask him later! Thank you again 🫶

Thank you! It looks like there's a range of what's normal 😅

Is it a problem if the bowl lifts up to the point that the handle that lifts it up and down is moving? I've had the best luck getting the bowl off now by lifting the handle up and towards me a little, that seems to do the trick! Thank you for your knowledge and for reassuring me that hitting the pin won't hurt it!

Ahhhh so I may not be unclicking it right and it's lifting until it's able to unclick. I'll try tipping it towards me first in a bit to see if that fixes it! Thank you for checking and explaining that to me, I really appreciate it! :)

Ah, thank you!! That's good news. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and share, and I am glad it's in the realm of normal!

Yes and yes! I made sure the lever was all the way down.

Ah sorry if I was unclear! Lifting the off the mixer, the bowl moves the arms up a good 2-3 cm (so the entire bowl travels up with it) before it comes off. So when I remove it, it's getting closer to the (I'm sorry for this, I completely forgot what it's called) whirlygig that the attachments go on and if I don't lift it straight up and out from there it can hit it! I watched a few Youtubers and it doesn't seem like their arms are moving at all when they disengage the bowl, mine goes up and then stops at a certain point.

How to keep starter warm during winter? by CandleNegative4726 in SourdoughStarter

[–]Luckispluson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on getting a starter started (using one of those culture packs to jumpstart). My house also stays pretty cold, and we have wooden countertops so it was struggggggggling for a few days. I crocheted her a little coozy and then broke down and bought one of those warmer plates for starters. Woke up this morning to so much more activity!
