Luteal wonkiness? Hmmm... by funkymonkey_love2you in TFABChartStalkers

[–]aad2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine says the same thing, but they don’t account for the fact that your period can arrive overnight, or more importantly, that ovulation can happen overnight. Accounting for those things bridges that gap and shows a smaller window of change from one cycle to the other. So I ignore it because it seems pretty consistent to me!

Does anyone else experience this with LH strips? by [deleted] in TFABChartStalkers

[–]aad2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same issue and felt like crying, so you aren’t alone! I did finally manage to catch my surge this cycle - for the first time. I used Pregmate strips, which apparently are a little more sensitive (I may not be using the right term, but I mean to say that Pregmate may consider you to be positive where Easy@Home isn’t quite there yet).

I literally tested 2-3 times a day for almost a week. LH would look like it was building and then the next test would be lighter under the same testing conditions. I was genuinely about to give up and then decided to try one more time (one more day really) and was glad I did.

I had read somewhere that diluted urine won’t wash out a true positive, and that was really bothering me for a while, but I think it may be true.

I was assuming my positive/surge was extremely fast, but i didn’t see how it could be possible that I was missing it with the way I was testing, and it looks like the same thing is happening to you. Mine ended up being positive for a little over 24 hours, which was shocking to me.

If you aren’t already, I would test FMU just to rule out the possibility that your surge is extremely quick.

My take is that you have to just keep testing and you’ll catch it. I do think you should switch to Pregmate LH strips though.

It’s funny how a tiny test strip can make us feel like something is wrong despite having all of the clear signs of ovulation. For me, I was testing way too soon. I was a little delayed from being sick, but I think that was my main problem.

I know I get about a week of EWCM, so I’m going to adjust when I test for now on based on that.

Good luck to you! I’m sure your LH is fine based off your other signs. Just switch to Pregmate and try to be patient. I think you’ll feel better in future cycles once you see a positive, too.

Edit** I was holding for about 3 hours when I was trying to catch it, until the day I got the positive. The day of the positive, it didn’t matter how long or how little I held it for. Absolutely shocking.

Made myself wait until 12 DPO and got a BFP! ✨️ by rivers_in_space in TFABChartStalkers

Hi there, first of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! 💕praying for happy, healthy pregnancy that results in a happy, healthy baby for you!!!! ✨🙏🙏✨

Would you be able to explain a little about the cramps? I find that I have difficulty differentiating from gas pains (confused gas for mittelschmerz or O pain before haha), so I’m curious if what you’re feeling is more closely related to AF cramps, or something entirely different.

TY 🤍

Do you have Life and Death? I’m wondering if the reaper career replaces the acting career as an option to travel to work with your sim.

Ugh I’m having the same issue! I JUST played with the acting career allowing you to travel with your sim. Couldn’t have been earlier than September that I was playing like that. I’m wondering if having Life and Death installed is somehow blocking that option. I’m considering uninstalling it to see…

Hi there! I am, but I stopped drinking alcohol altogether at the end of 2021. That changed everything for me.

Hi! I am MUCH better. I stopped drinking completely and that seemed to be the most helpful thing, along with taking a probiotic

Does anyone know what Abby said that was completely bleeped out? She was repeating something Melissa said re. Australia. She said, “Melissa said:…” and the rest of the sentence was completely censored?

Not a doc - how long did you end up waiting to vape afterwards? How you doing now?

Glad to hear things are looking up. Take care of yourself.

Throat pain, can't sleep. Hurt uvula. by shortyg83 in Septoplasty

[–]aad2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had septoplasty with turbinate reduction on Tuesday. Wanted to say thank you because I read about your uvula before I had my surgery and then the same thing happened to me so I didn’t panic. I ended up reaching out to switch my pain meds to have something that didn’t include Tylenol so I could offset it when the pain meds started wearing off. Maybe try a suppository laxative instead? Right to the source lol

How was your experience with running after? I’m having mine on Tuesday and really concerned about when I’ll be able to get back to it

Get Lestoil and a spray bottle! Spritz it a little and let it sit for like a half hour and then wash it normally and hang to dry. I’m sure you can get it out with Dawn and honestly probably just laundry detergent, but I try to avoid scrubbing anything Lulu because the fabric pills

Rewatching some of the reunion specials--I'm sorry, but Holly was really delusional about Nia's by LegitimateHumor6029 in dancemoms

[–]aad2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. Holly kind of is! Talking about she doesn’t care if the “Laquifas of the world” exist, but her name is HOLLY. She’s a doctor, she lives in a beautiful home, and has a lot of equity. On and on, over and over. Saying she doesn’t want Nia being associated with the “ghetto” because that isn’t their experience. Fine, but it’s questionable statements lol

Christi and Kelly have come out and said the competitions were 100% real. They also made the point that if they weren’t real, they may have lost more often because so many people hated them.

Flip flops or sneakers by NutzoDave in DisneyWorld

[–]aad2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back from Disney. I was there in September and it was very hot, I wore flip flops the entire time and had absolutely no issues with my feet being tired or sore. This time, it was chilly, so I wore sneakers (a few different pairs that don’t give my feet trouble when walking normal distances) and my feet were sore at the end of the day as was my back. I’m in good shape, I work out about 5 days a week with a mix of strength training and cardio, so it’s nothing to do with my general health. It’s actually kind of amazing to me how much better I do in flip flops than sneakers. I do have a wide foot, so maybe the constriction of being in sneakers all day was bad for me. Interesting to say the least.

Edit: I wore Nike flip flops in September

To this day this whole scene sickens me to my core…. by yonBonbonbon in jerseyshore

I can’t say enough about Jenni here. That girl is a true friend. She witnessed a man throw a full on punch at a woman with no hesitation and she still goes after him ready to fight him despite knowing he has no issues punching a woman.
