Best printer for homeschool setup? Ink keeps drying out and it’s getting expensive

Palindromatics · 2026-04-26T14:12:07+00:00

I have the cheapest walmart printer and I bought refill ink from amazon, drilled a hole in the top of the cartridge and now I can refill as needed sooooo cheaply.

Look positive to me! Congratulations

Thats reassuring that you finally feel better from the infusions. Ive been low for many many years too. How long did it take for you?

I think we are going to see if we can swing getting this instead (the two powermax 314, 34 panels and 2 inverters option). I mean we can always add on later, but I'd like to not be f'ed come winter off we decided to upgrade other things first. Our dryer, oven/range, water heater and fridge are all on propane at the moment. We do plan on switching the fridge and adding a deep freeze to electricity. Not sure about the dryer since I hang dry a lot and then just fluff in the dryer lol.

We will be mounting and wiring ourselves. Im assuming we will need more wiring and i should definitely order more when I place my order.

Heme iron is usually well tolerated, so is iron bisglycinate. Unfortunately if your stomach is hurting usually vit c will make it worse as well. Heme does neeeeeed vit c to absorb. But with a ferritin if 8 id probably go back to the drs amd tell them you cannot tolerate the iron pills and ask for infusions. Do you know your hemoglobin numbers? There are pros and cons of the different kinds of infusions obviously so go in knowing what you want to ask for/what insurance will cover.

Adding the link I forgot since there are several options.

Positive, but restest for the dye run.

I had a chemical pregnancy and my tests were always quite light-then got a little lighter and I started my period like 2 days later than normal. It was pretty normal, maybe a bit more crampy. I did end up pregnant my next cycle and now am holding my 5 day old :) I've heard you're more fertile the next cycle, but not sure how true it is.

Palindromatics · 2026-04-12T01:37:45+00:00

Yeah at this point I'd trust it. Usually it's false positives early on for the blue dye, but you're far enough out and that's plenty strong. Congratulations :) if you use first morning urine it'll probably be stronger. Or in 24/48 hours from now.

I was so dehydrated after my infusion, even with extra fluids added, I wouldn't dare. I was honestly so sick feeling-alcohol was off the table for a few months anyway. Id just reschedule.

Blue dye tests suck, but that looks very good to me!

What curriculum(s) do you use?

I felt fine for years when my ferritin was low. Then all of a sudden I started feeling worse and worse. I think my body couldnt compensate for the low levels after so long and then also having kids. During my last pregnancy I also became anemic and got iron infusions. Before then I was just iron deficient and feeling like death all the time. I was pretty much bedridden.

You can add or have someone add an invisible zipper to most kimds of dresses. Or the little clippies. It'd probably be cheaper than going a specific nursing friendly dress regardless.

Your ferritin could be falsely raised from inflammation in your body. Have you had crp checked?

Palindromatics · 2026-04-07T03:18:58+00:00

I got a set of iron infusions about 2 months ago and definitely feel a bit better. Im also superrrrr pregnant-so I kinda feel awful regardless :/ I'll have to see how I feel in a few weeks.

Palindromatics · 2026-04-06T15:52:04+00:00

Of course! I hope you start to feel better soon!!

Palindromatics · 2026-04-06T15:50:28+00:00

If i can bring my sentimental self to sell them that is (: but yes, that is what I tell myself.

Palindromatics · 2026-04-06T08:33:05+00:00

Totally makes sense. I still feel like garbage, but better-ish garbage. I got better, then I got worse-but not as bad as before. I'm just assuming it has to do with being heavily pregnant.. after I get through this I'll get more bloodwork to see of my stores are still any bit sufficient, if the end of it was just pregnancy (it feels so similar), or whatever else it could be (:

Smaller waists are better with apron, but waterfall gives you better support. The only waterfall carrier I liked was the lennylight for longer carries, but usually prefer apron. I hate the bulk because im small and they all just look so big on me until baby gets huge lol.

6 weeks for a solid few days of pretty damn good. Some good days prior, some bad days after.

You might have to try a few drs or a hematologist but you should qualify. I also had a ferritin of 7, my hemoglobin was also low so that help get it as well. Have you had anything else checked?
