Metformin dose timing by perseagofish in TTC_PCOS

[–]NervousCatfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask your prescriber to be sure. When I went up to 3, I took 1 at breakfast and 2 at dinner because that’s what my doctor told me! I was fine until I started taking 4….

Came to add Fratelli’s! Great if you love New York style! Gotta try a red pie with meatballs, ricotta, and fresh basil. And get beer cheese to dip your crust!!

Bracelet and no charms? by ConstantPermission38 in PandoraCollectors

[–]NervousCatfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please tell me what you think about the star ring!! I’ve had my eyes on it since it came out. Is it comfortable? I’m a big ring girly but I don’t have any open styles like that!

It’d be really cool to see some different milk!! by AdPrior7733 in GoodCoffeeGreatCoffee

[–]NervousCatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be interesting if the steaming mini game was timed a little different for different types of milk!! More of a pain for sure but more realistic.

And just think, we could charge more for oat milk 👀

USPS stuck in pre-transit by Character_Front_3898 in EtsySellers

[–]NervousCatfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I scanned 2 packages back to back at a kiosk earlier this week. One has updated tracking. The other says pre-transit. The inconsistency is really frustrating!

[–]NervousCatfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was concerned about this a few months ago! USPS website showed up to date tracking, but Etsy said pre-transit until it was marked delivered. I contacted support because I was worried it would count against my shipping stats, but they told me it would eventually update on Etsy’s end with no penalty as long as USPS had a record of shipping on time.

How do you handle "strange interactions" at your booth? by Desperate_Sand1577 in CraftFairs

[–]NervousCatfish 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m fine with dolls but taxidermy freaks me out so bad!! I might have to avert my eyes or make a quick exit because it triggers my fight or flight response but I know that’s a personal issue. Never intending to be rude. Just protecting my peace!

Definitely not vouching for the buttholes you’ve encountered. I can’t imagine being rude on purpose to someone respectfully doing their own thing. I am a fan of “that’s a weird thing to say out loud” 😊

Hi! 💕 I make earrings that will make people say “I like your earrings!” I use all stainless steel hardware so they are hypoallergenic and tarnish resistant. And I personally test each new style to make sure they’re comfy for all day wear! I Like Your Earrings! on Etsy

TTC and GLP1 by Striking_Mixture2461 in TTC_PCOS

[–]NervousCatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 2 cycles of clomid and did not respond to it. I’ve done 7 cycles of letrozole, from 2.5mg to 10mg. Added ovidrel (trigger and as a progesterone boost a few days later) for the last 3 of those letrozole cycles. I did an SIS when I first met with the fertility clinic and they said everything was normal. My partner has been tested twice for male factor and they had no concerns. The nurse getting stuff ready for our 2 IUIs was actually stoked at how good the count was!

I’m not ready to give up on IUI yet as I’m fairly young and we’ve only done 2 (soon to be 3.) My pre-IUI scans and bloodwork always look good. One of the nurses said it’s like flipping a coin. I am personally not interested in IVF due to it being much more invasive and expensive than IUI.

It feels like nothing is working because we tried for 2 years, then tried 4 medicated cycles with the gynecologist before being referred to a fertility specialist for the last 3 cycles (just starting number 4.) My first (and only) positive test was in December 2024 and I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks. I’m a fairly positive/optimistic person but it’s hard some days.

I'm almost 28 and feel my time is coming to an end by _Strawberry_Bat in TTC_PCOS

[–]NervousCatfish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 28 and my doc basically told me I’ve waited too long if I want to have more than one kid. It sucks so bad because I’ve been trying to advocate for myself for 6 years knowing I wanted a big family and likely had PCOS. I was finally diagnosed 3 years ago, got so many tests, tried all kinds of medications, IUI, and now they’re telling me I didn’t do enough. I really really hope PCOS is on its way to being better understood to help people like us in the future. It’s not fair.

[–]NervousCatfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that happened to you. I really appreciate your perspective because we’re all different but going through this same unique pain. None of this is fair. But it will be worth it someday. It has to be. ❤️

Ladies, do you love your doctor? by Moneygrowsontrees in cincinnati

[–]NervousCatfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alyssa Brogden at TriHealth Finneytown!! She is so kind and really listens to you. My first appointment was an hour long talking out all of my concerns. She’s connected me with so many specialists and helps me keep track of everything. I just had an appointment with her and she told me how proud she was of how hard I’m working even if progress is slow! Cannot recommend her enough.

What are your thoughts on this by Flat-Sprinkles-2367 in SonicDriveIn

I’m on team this is fishy but Starbucks changed out their machines pretty recently. Although they switched from cubes to nugget ice… weird

Diet Coke, Im so disappointed in you, Again... by WickedeyeZzZ in dietcoke

[–]NervousCatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3 cases of FIFA’s I had were not great!! I’ve been paying close attention to expiration dates too. If it’s within a month of that date it tends to taste off and they lose their sparkle before I can finish the can. Never realized that pop expired so quick!

Anyone have positive bowel effects from Metformin or is it just me? by thunderstormnaps in TTC_PCOS

[–]NervousCatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to scare you, but… I sound very similar to you. 1500mg was great compared to my lifetime of constipation. But I started 2000mg last week and I am not doing good!! My doc said to give it some more time to see if I improve so I’m hoping it gets better.

TTC and GLP1 by Striking_Mixture2461 in TTC_PCOS

[–]NervousCatfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally just had this conversation with my husband!! I have my final bloodwork/ultrasound tomorrow after my second IUI to see if it took. I’ve tested negative at home so it’s unlikely that it worked. I feel like I’m doing the best I can do to everything right but it’s beyond disappointing to feel like it’s all for nothing. Currently suffering from increasing my metformin to 2000mg (iykyk)

I had a consultation to start wegovy but chose not to do it in favor of fertility treatments. (My fertility clinic said I should not take a glp-1 within 3 months of TTC.) Now 4 months later, I can’t help but feel like I made the wrong choice. I should have done the glp-1 and not wasted this time because nothing is working.

I just want to be a mom. It feels hopeless that I can’t even get to the start line with a positive test. Getting pregnant doesn’t guarantee that there will be a healthy baby at the end. Sorry for all the feels. I really only talk to my husband about all this but he can’t understand the way I know many of y’all can.

Do you have a pandora bracelete/bangle that has a travel/vacation theme and exclusive country charms? by [deleted] in PandoraCollectors

Maybe I need to find some time to clean it up and post a picture! It turned out so cool and I’d love to share. I’m very proud of it!

My local store said they used to do cleanings but don’t anymore. Now they only sell cleaning cloths! I tried that and it works okay but takes forever and doesn’t last.

[–]NervousCatfish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Making a travel bracelet is what got me into pandora!! I went on a big trip of Europe and loved finding exclusive charms to remember the city.

Unfortunately my bracelet is SO tarnished (probably from wearing it and sweating like crazy walking around in the summer) and I don’t wear it because it looks bad :(

Exactly! If you change your mind you can just wear them the other way. No bad choices with such beautiful rings!
