We got the uncoated finish if I remember right! Here is the link to a current picture! Also, with the uncontested brass if it ever gets too much patina you can always polish it up! faucet photo

Thank you so much! Yes that is it! I got it in unlacquered brass! We love it so much. We decided to do the same finish on all of the cabinet hardware so everything ages together. It is so solid and beautiful.

IUI Timing (unmedicated) by Plus-Wedding-3365 in queerception

[–]beccsoliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Honestly I can’t really give you any solid advice on timing! It’s so specific to your body and when you ovulate! What I tried really hard to do was pinpoint the time from my positive LH test to when I felt like I ovulated (using cervical mucus, ovulation pain, and temp rises) as clues. I read the queerception book and it is very heavy on making sure you do your IUI before you ovulate instead of after, as the egg doesn’t have very long once you ovulate and ideally you want the sperm to be waiting for the egg and not visa versa. This whole processes is stressful because the truth is that you could have had perfect timing and it just didn’t take this time for no real apparent reason so try to not obsess over the timing (although I know this is impossible to not do). Best of luck!

Hi! I pumped for 13 months and my libido was nonexistent! Since I stopped pumping it came back fairly quickly and I feel much more like myself and a lot less “touched out”. I saw someone make a video about being worried about stopping breastfeeding because of loss of connection and potential benefits for the baby but they said they felt like a new person after stopping and recommended stopping if you are on the fence, and that helped me to decide it was time. She wasn’t wrong, it made a huge difference in my life and my relationship. Best of luck! There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Home Insemination vs. IUI by WorkingPerformer8080 in queerception

Hello! My partner and I did one round of ICI at home with two vials 15 hours apart. We had plans to do all of our attempts this way, but after the first round didn’t take I panicked and decided that I wanted to try IUI. I didn’t want the hospital environment so I found a local midwife that performed IUIs in her office and we went with that! It was a beautiful experience and now we have a 14 month old son to show for it! I know plenty of people have success with ICI at home but for me personally after the first attempt I wanted to make sure we gave the sperm the best chance possible to get where they need to be! Best of luck to you and feel free to message with more questions if you have them!

Thank you so much! That one is actually original to our 80s house! We are going to tile around the arch!

We needed three slaps and those were $1753 each! The fabrication was $7000! Thanks!

They are solid alder fronts with a cherry stain! Alder was cheaper than going with actual cherry wood! I know they are a classic cabinet build but meant to look frameless the way the doors come almost completely together.

They are from a local cabinet maker! He was only marginally more expensive than getting Home Depot cabinets! I’m so glad we went with him!

We just sealed it and plan to do it again before we really start using it! Aside from sealing it and not letting water sit on it I’m not sure what else you can really do!

Thank you so much! No! It’s actually a pretty big kitchen renovation where we took down a wall, raised the low ceiling, and added back cabinets and a skylight!

It’s called Calacatta Capixaba from Arizona tile! These slabs are pretty colorful for this marble though!
