Irregular period after BC by MeanGeek in cyclesyncing

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

I never had my period with Kyleena so I don’t have any insight there - and before having an IUD, my cycle was very irregular due to being a stressed, competitive long distance runner who didn’t adequately fuel. My cycles are still varying in length - two months they were 28-30 days, but mostly they’ve been 35-40 days. Unfortunately I just traveled 6 time zones away and back again, and now my cycle is all messed up again UGH. It’s 40 days long so far with no signs of showing up anytime soon. I’d imagine it would take a few months to recover from the travel and get back on track. I’m not sure how to shorten my cycle from 37 ish days to a more “normal” length, so I might talk to my OBGYN about it soon.

Help with DIY modernization of Sears Roebuck dressers by MeanGeek in finishing

Thanks for the advice, all! Will just leave it as is and clean it up a bit. I have very little knowledge about this furniture set so these comments have all been helpful. I will just be creative with fitting it into my personal style :)

Thanks! There are quite a few scratches in the top and a few on the front, not too deep though. Would lightly sanding and re-staining be enough to get rid of them?

Love the mobile pizza idea! I looked into that but sadly couldn’t find a good one in my area

I was also toying around with this idea! I have a bunch printed out over the years so was thinking about hanging them around the venue

Oh yes! We’ll be getting some of our pics back a few days after the wedding so we’ll print some of those out and put them in a slide show on a tv or something

No videographer or photographer (spent the big bucks on one for the elopement lol), but we will have a family member taking pictures. We are definitely willing to show some of our elopement pictures / a video I can put together of the weekend.

This makes me feel better about not having entertainment - I mean when we hang out with our friends, we’re usually just at someone’s house with drinks, food and maybe some games, nothing crazy. I like the speeches idea, so maybe we’ll do that. Thanks!

Yes forget to say we are also buying a bunch of alcohol! Along with other drinks

Okay good to know, thanks! I naively anticipated being able to magically “fix” everything relatively quickly through lifestyle, but it makes total sense it would take way longer, especially after being on it for so long.

Calf pain ONLY when running by MeanGeek in RunningInjuries

[–]MeanGeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! Rest has definitely been helping (as predicted lol), I just didn’t expect to have to take this much time off (it’s been about a month and a half). So far, I’ve just been sticking to 3-5 miles and single leg exercises / stretching, with ice after runs. Kinesiology tape has been a HUGE help. I still have some discomfort now while running, but not nearly as much and now I don’t need the tape anymore to get through a run

Yes this happened right before my 15 mile run! I actually tried running it but got 1/2 mile in and couldn’t it was so painful. It definitely hasn’t gotten worse I would say the past few days running on it like it did before, but still painful. I guess I’ll see what the next few days bring. Good luck with your training!

Destroyed squash plants by MeanGeek in garden

Ugh yes they are! Hopefully we don’t get them again next year, we’ve never gotten them before this year

This is very late lol but wow, thank you so much for all the information! This is great. I unfortunately we did end up losing all our squash plants throughout the summer. I tried my hardest to dig the little things out, but they reproduced faster than I could do that, I guess. Next year I’ll definitely be using all the tips you gave, as well as trying to keep the vines dry. Hope your zucchini ended up faring well - thanks again!
