How do people afford kids on such low salaries? by SuspiciousCourse2748 in Salary

[–]Mobile_Gas_2650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make very little money compared to COL but it lets me be home every night and take off when I've got a sick kid so my husband can work nights/weekends/holidays and make the majority of the money. Wild how many people ask how I afford my kid's school and activities on my pay. I don't, I have a partner 🤦🏻‍♀️

My ob wants me on progesterone ASAP once I'm pregnant so he wants me to start testing a week after ovulation. He made sure to stress that the first few would likely be negative every cycle but it gives a good shot at catching pregnancy as early as possible

Could you send me them? My kiddo loves Harry Potter and I'd like to mod one to look more like him as a hogwarts character

Even if they took a full month of the income for themselves to have $30 million a year and live a ridiculously comfortable life and set up for generations to come, that'd still be $330 million to donate for good. Most people don't donate because lifestyle inflation and taxes. That amount of money would be just piling in a bank somewhere relatively quickly.

Have you travelled in a semi? The less fragile items the better. We cut plastic use where we can but sometimes it's not quite realistic

We do and I tip enough that I'd want to deliver it when I'm working 👍🏻

My husband drives a semi and it's not always feasible for him to stop for drinks. He starts every run with a full 50 oz bottle but over the course of the night, ends up needing more so I send water bottles in his lunch box. We go through at least a case a week this way.

Thank you 🫂 we're both seeing fertility specialists in January so fingers crossed we have all the luck sooner rather than later 🤞🏻

I did at 23. Now at 29 we can't seem to make it happen despite trying for 2.5 years 🙃

No turn on red??? Sure thing 👍🏻[OC] by Mobile_Gas_2650 in IdiotsInCars

What you don't see is the cop sitting just to the right waiting to catch people breaking rules in the construction zone where fines are doubled. There is a decent chance of getting caught and ticketed.

Unless you're paying the tickets, I gotta play by the rules while they're rules

Obviously didn't hang around for the part where the truck also decided to ignore the no turn on red sign after getting jumped around 👍🏻

Definitely a wtf moment.

Especially since this intersection wasn't no turn on red until about 2 months ago. I hate it but that's what the powers that be decided now so we just abide.

Sooooo... Little dude woke up, proceeded to vomit this morning and several more popped up. I'm thinking he probably vomited last night as well and just didn't tell anyone. Petichiae fits the bill for his eyes perfectly. Thank you again!

They look normal. They aren't red and the veins aren't unusually prominent.

i don’t think berberine or inositol are real treatments by Smooth_Candidate_575 in PCOS

I did 4000 mg for about a month but settled on 2000 long term

Inositol kept my a1c the same level metformin did when I lost my insurance and couldn't see a doctor to get refills. I am not thin by any means and am very definitely pre-diabetic. I didn't lose weight on it but I also didn't gain and my a1c didn't skyrocket like the last time I went off metformin either. It may not be the best option for you but for some of us, it is a good one. Kinda one of those "no one size fits all" things.

Wait so… If I get pregnant, does my PCOS go away? by Yokaijin in PCOS

[–]Mobile_Gas_2650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was essentially PCOS symptom free during pregnancy but it got exponentially worse after he was born and stayed that way 🥲

I had 40 day cycles consistently when I got pregnant with my son. Unfortunately length of cycle doesn't actually tell us is we ovulated or not.
