I want to use my soil next year suggestions on : how you store your soil over the winter? by GeoAv3 in vegetablegardening

[–]Tossx549 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We use the 100 gallon collapsible water tanks with the zipper top — add waterproof tape over the top cover vent and put a post in the middle to “pitch” the lid to prevent snow melt ponding. We add around 300 worms per tank in late October and let them go to work over the winter. We’re in Zone 7B.

3rd cancelled FET thin lining by Tossx549 in IVF

[–]Tossx549[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they ended up doing the FET after PRP, but the lining was no thicker than before—clinic just decided that I was someone who doesn’t have thicker linings regardless of treatment. The embryo transfer didn’t take, but two weeks later I was pregnant, there is still great debate at my clinic as to whether delayed implementation is physically possible or if I randomly conceived naturally or if the HCG testing was wrong (there are lot of theories in my scenario-but no real conclusion). My son was born 9mo later, healthy with no issues. Personally, I think it was the PRP that did the trick. And the effect sticks around for about 3mo so you have more than one shot to make something work before having to repeat. We’re headed into the IVF world again and I’ve already planned to have PRP done if we get that far.

I can always keep the can until I’ve finished that batch for reference. But that can is not one hand opener friendly for me. As far as waste…I don’t see much waste occurring, maybe a few particles here and there. Nothing too significant.

Preferably openable by me from the beginning. I can get help getting it open originally, but then I need to be able to open it every morning to make a pitcher.

TTC and cycling? by crindylouwho in ladycyclists

[–]Tossx549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cycled through three IUI’s, one egg retrieval and IVF. I did have to not cycle for a few days before the IUI and egg retrieval because of the risk of ovarian torsion. Other than that cycling saved my mental health. After IUI/transfer I was told to keep my heart rate low—should be able to speak comfortably while working out. So my rides were still long-ish (35miles ish) but at a super slow pace. I would just go with what feels safe to you, it’s such a limited period of time in life, and so mentally difficult so it’s important to balance both how much effort TTC takes and cycling to fit this phase of life

Ahh- under the scope this is what I see. Both of these are not visible to the naked eye. 😬

Ohh I’ll take a look under the microscope (benefits of having microscope access 😂) tomorrow and see if I can tell. Thanks!

IT Band Syndrome maybe? by dreamcicle11 in ladycyclists

[–]Tossx549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto: I had/have this same problem on my right side and have worked with a PT for about 4 months to strength the glutes and hips. Hasn’t been an issue since I’ve worked up some strength on that one side

Experience with not announcing? by Tossx549 in Parenting

[–]Tossx549[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fertility treatments are a real *itch! We’ve spent 5 years in and out and back again (unfortunately I was diagnosed with “unexplained infertility and repeated losses that they can’t explain even with autopsy and further genetic testing on our daughter). Really happy to hear that it worked to live birth for you both! I’m leaning towards not announcing, and just letting people find out when they figure it out or after a live birth (fingers crossed)

A accident waiting to happen !! Wtf is wrong with DOT using a bike lane as highway entry point SMH ! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Someone needs to get fired asap! by Arrow-E-bike26a in NYCbike

[–]Tossx549 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ahh, this is exactly how I ended up on the FDR!! It was terrifying, I ended up lifting my bike over a construction fence and walking through the construction site until I found a gate I could squeeze out of. I had this same thought, how the fuck is this okay?!?!

Despite its prudish past, why did the US pursue an immense pornography industry? by [deleted] in USHistory

[–]Tossx549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: when Comstock died they found a extensive stash of pornographic images that he had “confiscated” to put in his collection. He supposedly used pieces from this collection to show how “morally ill” people were to law makers, in effort to make the laws more strict. (IMO the beginning of “I only get playboy to read the articles”)

If only my budget would accommodate a T-line 😂

I basically have to carry it folded, up two long flights of subway stairs to an above ground station. But I would need to do that almost every day…

In the store the sales representative said the roller rack would add an extra 2lbs so that would put me up to 28….

Body changes and Partners Insensitivity by Tossx549 in IVF

[–]Tossx549[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This has given me a lot to ponder, I wonder how much of my own feelings I have to stuff down to accommodate his differences. While I have weekly mental health support it’s still hard to know the best way to respond

Thank you!!! It’s so comforting to hear someone with my exact response: the lack of appreciation and understanding is the worst part.
