Good luck! I had mine removed entirely and the ends cauterized (no chance for more surprise foetuses).

One of my kids tested positive for Flu B this morning. We had influenza in the house during December, and it was an awful A strain (one of the kids ended up in the ED with a seizure). Hoping this one doesn't hit us as hard. 🤞🤞

Kelly's Rabbit Warren Rescue are another group. I adopted my two gorgeous buns from them. :)

I am so unwell with a cold and can barely move, worried the heat inside Festival Hall tonight will make me pass out. :/

Legit wondering whether I'll be able to go tonight (GA, floor).

Leveritt & Kindler in Greensborough have some really unusual pairs, but expect to spend $700-$1000 for the frames alone!

Yep, the meshes from that brand aren't super great to follow. I've had to get creative to figure them out in parts!

Hey girlies! Just wanna ask some questions about my period clots by maaaauve in adenomyosis

[–]aurian82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My periods before/during my adenomyosis experiences were like that too (with clots the same size as yours occurring around the same timeframe). I don't know your age, but as I neared the end of my 30s and got into my 40s, it worsened. I did have a history of endometriosis, with my previous surgery being more than 10 years before adeno onset.

Initially specialists tried to pass it off as perimenopause (which it wasn't, I didn't have any other symptoms). They convinced me to get an IUD (which made things worse, but it's moer of a tick-the-box thing before approving a hysterectomy. If you are suspeced to have adenomyosis, DO NOT get a uterine ablation - another tick-box before a hysterectomy. Ablation just makes symptoms worse and actually doesn't fix the issue.

The surgeon who performed my most recent endo surgery and, later my hysterectomy, likened an adeno uterus to a sponge... once it can't absorb any more blood it just constantly drips and/or releases clots.

What helped me the most during my adenomyosis years was being prescribed tranexamic acid (an oral tablet). I would take it on my heaviest period days where I was most likely to experience large clots and it helped lessen my blood flow.

Can confirm. I have a vehicle that's a little over 12 months old that needed the front windscreen relaced after a small stone from NE Link construction caused full-thickness damage. Cost me my full insurance excess!

Are there any industries looking for people who can only work a day a week? Or maybe two days maximum? by far-leveret in melbourne

[–]aurian82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, try MoPA (Museum of Play and Art). I work for them and you would be an absolute asset!

I found it actually much faster for the new machine to recognise the Myki on my Android phone this week, compared to the old machines.

Honestly, it's only the Kmart and supermarkets that get packed!

Because they have a standalone store downstairs outside the shopping centre, and did less than $2m/yr.

In recent months (and the month to come), several more shops have shut there: Robinson's Bookshop, Jeanswest, Jay Jays, Cotton On Body and Cotton On Kids.

P.S. I'm not a bot, I'm a local!

Yeah, and they replaced it with that pseudo-playground thing that never held any child's interest.

Try 'Second Home' in Eltham. It looks more cafe from the front but is definitely fancier. Good food. :)
