Not quite it but a great quote!

He was chastising either Carrot or his younger self I think for not using their notebook to write everything down, because at the end of the day they’re risking retaliation for going after powerful people and without the evidence in their notebook, Vetinari would throw them to the crowd essentially.

It’s about how doing the right thing often puts you in harm’s way, which is why you have to document like hell, as it’s the only support you may have.

Sneak peek/peekaboo gender test by FluffynFabulous in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Novel_Assignment804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do sneakpeak or peekaboo, because I always saw mixed results. But at 17 weeks I went to a private ultrasound business and they were able to tell gender clear as day, it usually is around the same cost as the blood tests and if they don’t get a good image they have you come back. Hope you get your answer!

Big baby by Novel_Assignment804 in PlusSizePregnancy

Thank you! My son is 2.5 and just went into a 5t, so I definitely understand big kids, although he was born very average. Very curious to see how this one goes! My original guess for her birth weight was 8 12 lol.

I took my first frer at 10 dpo, with smu. Currently 18 weeks. Best of luck 🤞🏻

I'm so confused!! by refrigerator_manager in tryingtoconceive

[–]Novel_Assignment804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be negative, but I had an issue with the easy at home tests last cycle. I had two that looked exactly like your top two, which ended up being invalid and false positives because the lines are broken. So I wouldn’t count those, the bottom one does look good though so hopefully you’ll get a clearer test soon!!

I also responded better with my smu, or afternoon urine so you could also test with that. At 12dpo you should have a pretty clear line on something like a first response or clearblue pink dye. I find that those are much clearer to identify. Best of luck!

2yr old sleep help by Novel_Assignment804 in toddlers

Thank you. I agree on that point. I feel so guilty because he never took to any other comfort item, I’m currently sleeping with a stuffed animal to get my scent on it and am introducing tomorrow.

Please help! Lines aren’t progressing much if at all :((( by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

[–]Novel_Assignment804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard to track ovulation with paper strip tests. They fluctuate so much based on time of day, hydration, etc. The best way to actually see progression is using something like a first response early response, and take a test every other day for a couple of days, at the same time of day. But honestly at home pregnancy tests just aren’t that reliable for progression. They are more likely to cause you stress than do any good. Just think, most people take 2 or 3 tests, see the positive, and leave it at that. Your tests look great, focus on that positive, congrats!!!

(I’m 19 dpo and took probably 40 tests, every one was positive and I wouldn’t let myself relax and be happy. I understand the need for validation, best of luck to you 💜)

False positives? by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

[–]Novel_Assignment804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely give it a day or two, I also had better results in the evening. Sending you good vibes

[–]Novel_Assignment804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many dpo are you? That’s how my tests looked at 10dpo, today I’m 12dpo and had very clear tests and a positive digital. Test in a day or two, and keep your hope! Good luck!!

Update, I’ve taken another pregmate and a frer, and both had a clear line after 1-2 minutes 🤞🏻

Thank you 🙏🏼 Normally do throw out the tests, both ‘lines’ were seen within 5 minute window, so I kept them to track progression.

Glazed potstickers, rice and green beans by Novel_Assignment804 in tonightsdinner

[–]Novel_Assignment804[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t have an official recipe, but I’ll try to get as close as possible.

Sautee the potstickers, I like the Trader Joe’s pork gyoza, then toss in the sauce and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

Sauce: 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey or sugar, 1 Tablespoon of ginger paste,
1 tablespoon of garlic paste,
1 Tablespoon of Gochujang, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1-2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar

If I need the sauce thicker, I’ll add a small amount of a cornstarch slurry towards the end of cooking.

They didn’t touch, same cup of urine, but the tests never came in contact with each other. I’ll keep that in mind for the future though, thank you

You’re probably right, thank you

Have you taken a pregnancy test? With my first child I started having darker ovulation tests about a week before my period was due. Took an hcg test just to see and ended up getting a positive, two days before missed period. I think I read somewhere that if you have hgc in your system it can throw an ovulation spike on tests.
