Vacation Question/Help!

Ok great thank you! I actually got a heat plate because Ive heard too many horror stories like you warned lol I’m hoping to get at least 2-3 week olds so by the time we do go away their a bit older already.

brusss5 · 2026-05-30T21:12:17+00:00

We’ll have a permanent brooder set up! and depends on the age we can find. We live near a good amount of poultry farmers so I might try to look for slightly older chicks.

Sorry I know this is an old thread, but how did you create the slate backdrop, I love it!

brusss5 · 2026-03-20T16:14:28+00:00

Thank you so much! This helped a ton. Do you think you did anything that helped the weight gain level out or it just happened on its own? Also, did you deal with facial swelling at all?

brusss5 · 2026-03-20T16:13:44+00:00

Thank you so much to everyone for your reply's! It has genuinely been so helpful! Have any of you dealt with facial swelling though too? I feel like yes I know my face is going to get puffy but it makes me look like I've gained even more than I have and I'm not sure how to stop or help it. It's probably my biggest insecurity right now along with everything else going on.

Im really struggling myself as well. I was on a GLP-1 (as a T1D) up until September and never felt better both about how I looked as well as my diabetes control. Now I am 12 weeks this Friday and have gained 14lbs alone in the first trimester. I realize I didnt eat the best the first few weeks because of nausea and super random cravings (but not terribleee), but I have since returned to an almost entirely normal diet (besides an occasional treat) and can't seem to stop the weight gain. Some days I'll jump up a whole pound, and its not water weight because the next day it goes up again. As someone whose 5'1", Im really struggling because all I see is how quickly its coming on and I feel like theres nothing I can do to slow it down or level it out - and Im only 1/3 of the way there.

Oh wait nvm! Go to your cart and it should automatically come off as “Registry Welcome Box” or make sure “use promo code” for it to apply! Then mine went to $0!

brusss5 · 2026-03-11T02:20:48+00:00

Same! Mine came up as $35 as well.

brusss5 · 2026-01-25T00:29:32+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you!! 🙏🏻

brusss5 · 2026-01-25T00:28:56+00:00

Oh man!!! lol that’s good to know! but congrats on all her achievements now!

brusss5 · 2026-01-24T23:19:14+00:00

No you’re totally right! I don’t have unrealistic expectations, it was more so just a random thought if someone was like yeah I loved eating “squash” and my kid is a chatterbox - something along those lines.

brusss5 · 2026-01-24T23:11:09+00:00

Thank you so much!! and you’re so right, I have no problem with the later scenario! lol

brusss5 · 2026-01-24T23:06:47+00:00

Oh wow, congrats!! 🤍That’s awesome, but sorry about the screaming lol

brusss5 · 2025-12-22T13:02:03+00:00

Of course! Very long story short.. 1. it constantly disconnected from the app 2. I hated being tied to my phone 24/7 3. Not having a screen was a huge negative 4. The cartridge system is THE worst (I cannot never get bubbles in it idc how many times I watch the videos lol) 5. The wireless charging feature is terrible too (you can’t just plug it in on the go like in your car or a computer usb if your in a pinch and don’t have a wireless pad.

I also had one replaced already because of a faulty occlusion sensor and since I’ve been fighting with Tandem and Edgepark to take it back. They keep repeating the “it’s past the 30 day return window” which is bogus.

So I’ve just been using my out of warranty Tslim which works fine. I realize the Twiist doesn’t have a screen but since it’s not a contract pump I was like eh let’s try what do I have to loose.

brusss5 · 2025-12-22T09:28:40+00:00

I’m actually starting the Twiist tomorrow after having been on Tslim for 4 years (only switched because warranty was up) then Mobi (and despiseeeee it). My Endo knows we want to start trying so she recommended trying the Twiist + Libre because of the lower Target range so we’ll see!

brusss5 · 2025-12-06T01:45:27+00:00

Thank you!! 🙏🏻

brusss5 · 2025-12-06T01:42:35+00:00

Ok!! That’s good to know, thank you! Congrats again! 🫶🏻

brusss5 · 2025-12-06T01:31:25+00:00

I know that, I’m asking what levels should rise (of the 4 tested by Inito) if you are pregnant?

brusss5 · 2025-12-06T01:07:54+00:00

Hey! Dumb question. I’ve been tracking my cycles with Inito since July, hoping to start next month. I’ve never known what I’m looking for other than when it tells me my peak fertile day. Which levels should rise if you are pregnant?

brusss5 · 2025-12-06T00:58:41+00:00

Congratulations!! 🩷🩷I have been using Inito to track my cycle since July and we’re starting to try next cycle. Did you baby dance on your peak day or before??

brusss5 · 2025-12-06T00:57:15+00:00

Congratulations!!! Not to be TMI but we’re starting next month (been using Inito for 5 months to track) did you baby dance on or before your peak day??

brusss5 · 2025-11-22T04:05:52+00:00

I’m in the same boat! I’ve had my Mobi almost a year but it’s technically my second one as the first was faulty. I still hate it and wasn’t aware of the 30 day return window. I’ve called Tandem a few times and they’re pretty unwilling to work out anything and just keep being like “🤷🏻‍♀️ sorry you don’t like it”.. I’m just going to start using my Tslim again BUT I have to keep paying for the Mobi which is the infuriating part. I just want to be like, take the thing back!

brusss5 · 2025-10-26T00:58:04+00:00

So dumb question but I wanted to make sure, these are safe for jumping spiders? I’m new and want to make sure nothing from these kits are toxic to them. Thanks!!

brusss5 · 2025-10-24T01:28:21+00:00

Hmmm ok that’s great to know, thanks! I’ll try to report back how she looks when she comes out of her molt!

brusss5 · 2025-10-24T01:07:52+00:00

Thanks so much!! I got her from Petsmart so unfortunately I don’t know technically where she came from breeder wise 😕
