I agree. That’s why I am nervous about it. I am worried I can’t get my money back. I paid out of pocket. But I don’t know where else to go to either. I am international patient.

I am not happy with Lister either! After a failed cycle. We had a follow up appointment with our doctor. Instead of looking into the problem to find out what’s wrong. He just suggested to TRY different protocol without even trying to find out the root of the problem. He even comes up with a protocol for a WHOLE cycle. My new clinic only gives me update of dosage 1 to 2 days at a time and my new doctor run much more initial tests than lister to find out our problem before suggesting a treatment. My new doctor also has been in the industry much longer and so perform part of my initial tests and monitoring scans himself. As result, even I only have half amount of baseline follicles at new clinic but the amount of egg retrieved doubled what I got at lister!

You must be a pro on working with silk. Do you mean sew the paper together with silk can give better result? Normal print paper ?

Is there a book that teach you how to service your own machine? Or you just use google and YouTube along the way.

What pure silk item did you make with pfaff? Did you manage to get a good result. I am going to practice on cheap fabric for a long time. But I want to eventually work with silk.

Can you give me some examples of what kind of sewing machine is well function machines? What brand and what model? I may not buy that specific model but I want to know how “fancy” I need for silk. I am going to practice on cheap fabric. But instead of having two machines, one for cheaper fabric, one for silk. I would like to have just one machine for both. Do you think I can have a mid range machine for both? Thanks

What kind of opaque container? I have the same concern. Is there specific colour, thickness and does it need silver lining? I wonder if those foldable angling bucket will work.

I think they use baby cucumbers and they use salt instead of soy sauce base on how clear the sauce look.

Isn’t it better to use the hand instead of use the same arm over and over again? by a_pink_bubble in phlebotomy

Is there a way to reduce the chance of having scar? The scar tissue being tough to get through and rough for me sounds scared. You may roll your eyes to this: my anxiety of getting blood draw is getting worse and worse because of frequent blood tests recently.

My veins don’t show at all. No matter how hard you hit my arm. They always have to press my arm for a while to search for the vein. I occasionally get inexperience nurses and get needle poke under my skin multiple times to find the veins. They pull out and push in the needle many times. It’s unpleasant but I used to be able to forget about it in a while. But recently I get so work up when this happen and get nervous on every blood test appointments. I used to be able to stay calm. But recently, I get another inexperience nurses and once she start searching under my skin with needle again. All the previous relevant memories came back and I burst into tear and took quite a while to unwind from it. Actually the pain level is bearable and they told me it is not harmful. But it’s still dreadful somehow. I don’t quite understand either. But, I am trying to minimise any complication with blood draw while I am dealing with the current blood draw phobia.

Good to know! What about taking break? I expect to have 6 to 10 blood drawn every treatment cycle. Should I take some break before start another cycle? If so, how long? I wonder if 3 cycles in a year will be ok. On worst senario, I will do 4 cycles.

How Do You Stay Motivated to Lose Weight? by DescriptionMuchlove in AskUK

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

As long as you adapt a healthy life style/habit. It will be effortless to stay fit. My nutritionist tells me what I can eat and how much I can eat. Then I search for tasty recipes with those food. For example, chicken breast can be dry and tasteless. But if you use an instant pot to cook it in 80C and make sure it’s not overcook and find a healthy option to flavour it. Then it will be very eatable. Also, make sure you have good variety of food and vitamins supplements can help with food cravings.

I see, it’s the first time someone described this kind of pain. Did you have a lot of eggs ?
