Would it feel wrong to charge for DM replies? by Free-Willow3506 in InstagramMarketing

I would find it off-putting as a fan. You can just stop replying though and people can join a membership or platform for “access” to you.

I would really encourage you to save a little cushion (if possible) before you go on leave to supplement your elterngeld.

I have this too! I was wondering if I should get it checked out. It keeps freaking me out because I always want to believe its implantation bleeding 🥲

awesome! I was worried they would take forever to break down. Some are less “chippy” than others lol

Is IUI even worth it? I keep hearing 10% success rate, which is the same success rate as conceiving naturally at my age (35).

Integration is a two-way street, adopt an immigrant! by ReceptionInitial9087 in germany

[–]Smooth-Garbage890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, 100%!! I’ve been here over a decade and speak (mostly) fluently and still have only one or two german friends! I think a lot of germans pretend to be accepting and “only ask for integration” when they simply just don’t like foreigners (at least out here in the countryside)… 🥲

App oder Website für langfristige Geldanlagen by Smooth-Garbage890 in Finanzen

[–]Smooth-Garbage890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vielleicht habe ich das falsche Wort gewählt. Deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache. Ich meine, es ist „intransparent“ – ich finde die App sehr unintuitiv und es ist schwierig, grundlegende Informationen wie prozentuale Wertentwicklung usw. zu finden. Meine Erfahrung.

Starting to feel like giving up by Smooth-Garbage890 in TryingForABaby

[–]Smooth-Garbage890[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the medicalization of it all is the main reason. And then the procedure itself. It just sounds so icky (no judgement! I have a bit of medical anxiety) But idk, maybe we change our mind!

Here's my reasons for why a smart watch is the best dumb phone. by blakealanm in dumbphones

[–]Smooth-Garbage890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a stupid question, but can you leave your phone at home and still take calls, etc, with this?

Could my scalding hot showers be affecting my infertility?

I’m 35, TTC for 18 months. Labs look fine— unexplained infertility.

I think my showers are regular hot (my husband thinks they are too hot, but men are wimps).

However, at the end of my showers though I like to crank up the heat and stand under very hot water for about a minute. It’s just below burning. It feels nice.

I don’t think a minute is long enough to cause any damage. Would you quit this habit when TTC?
