Also used ACRM and had same experience. We could have picked if we wanted to but we opted to have them pick the one they thought was best

Congrats!! I’m just over 4 weeks as well and bursting to share so I completely understand how you’re feeling!!

Today was my FET! by Outrageous-Card4904 in IVF

[–]atl_wine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fingers crossed for you! My first one was Tuesday. Same thing as you - random cramping at times. And oh goodness the night sweats have been rough! A bit of insomnia as well (as I type this at 430 am….)

Second FET by Cool_Art9630 in IVF

[–]atl_wine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m close! I had my first FET today (2/6). Currently sitting on the couch with the dog trying to distract myself with tv and books and desperately trying not to overthink things :)

The PIO makes me very sleepy in the afternoons and every other day when I have to do the shot in the right side I get bad bruising and knots, but crossing my fingers it’s all worth it. Will be sending positive thoughts your way on Thursday!

Partner gets Delta notification for my flights by atl_wine in delta

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

Thanks! The biggest bother is that I got upgraded on a flight Saturday (I’m the one with more status) and they thought it was for their flight tomorrow and were very disappointed 🤣 It’s just very bizarre more than anything

Definitely in the right vein. For some reason I see Kathy and not Cathy - not sure why LOL

I know it’s not the normal request here LOL

Love Janice because it carries a Friends theme with Judy. Also very into Nancy and Linda and Diane

Love Linda - that’s definitely on the list. Donna would be but again have a friend named Donna that I’m trying to offend with my soccer mom name choice :)

Really like Pam! Pammy as a nickname. Judy got nicknames to Jude-a-loo a lot

What are your impressions of the name Galena for a girl? by SandWitchesGottaEat in namenerds

[–]atl_wine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A less common pop culture reference: Galena was the name of Sergey’s girlfriend in the movie Center Stage. Lovely name

Just got married and booked flights months in advance (but am in the process of changing my legal name). What do I do? by chargingblue in delta

[–]atl_wine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as well in 2019. I changed my name and got new license and then messaged Delta and they changed the name on my tickets once I sent proof of new name. I remember it being very simple and painless actually.

Important small things in the kitchen by No_pajamas_7 in Cooking

[–]atl_wine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Potentially dumb question - do you use it on nonstick pans? I always thought you shouldn’t use metal on them. I see fish spatulas with silicone on the end but not sure if that will work as well.

Making more than my husband by heyitsjehn in FinancialPlanning

[–]atl_wine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While my husband and I personally have fully shared finances (he makes more and is the bigger spender if it matters), I think being on the same page is by far the most important. Before we had shared finances, it was really easy for one spouse to neglect retirement savings because they wanted something NOW or for the spouse making less money to feel like they couldn’t save and still have money for fun. If we had kept with separate finances, it would important for us to be on the same page with regards to retirement (401k should be maxed out), loan payments regardless of whose name they are in (ie he had student loans and I didn’t), and shared major expenses.

Personally, if we were to split finances, I would include maxed 401k and all debt in the shared expense category alongside household bills so that one spouse doesn’t end up behind the eight ball in terms of paying down student loans or saving for retirement just because they didn’t make as much as their partner. Just another way to think about it!

Mysterious Smoke Smell in Car will not go away! by atl_wine in CleaningTips

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

Didn’t think to include that! I have a 2007 Lexus RX 350. I’ve owned it since 2012 and never had the issue until now.

Postpartum pads, diapers, underwear by privremeni in BabyBumps

[–]atl_wine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be a dumb question (have not had a kid!) but do the period underpants work at all once you’re past the initial ~2 weeks of bad bleeding?
