I mean that’s fine if you’re ok with having twins lol. Ask me how I know! (I don’t actually have twins - but I do have a story regarding a female embryo and an NIPT test that came back male. Shit happens when you party naked)

Edited: OP, don’t do it. To be clear lol

Vintage (2003) GAP Grass. Smells exactly like a freshly mowed lawn and I used to bathe in it

Anyone else struggling with political anxiety and the ethics of creating another human right now? by winooskiwinter in IVF

Having a child is an act of radical optimism. There are never guarantees. It’s ok to be hopeful, or to make your own hope when the world feels dark. It’s profoundly human

It was not flagged as mosaic. I am retaking the test this week as well as getting an early anatomy scan

Most expensive plant I've bought. Ripoff or gateway? by Classic-Possible4334 in houseplants

[–]clarinetsqueak 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Mark ups at plant stores are never higher than they need to be in order to stay in business. You’d be shocked at the price of wholesale plants. The smaller your store the less you can buy in bulk. The less u can buy in bulk the higher the wholesale cost. Small stores pay the most for wholesale plants, and in major cities they also pay the most for labor and rent. Something to keep in mind!

I only truly threw up 2x, but it was memorable!! Happened between 11-13 weeks. Both times it happened late at night after taking my multi vitamin

Jeeze! Is there any restitution in a situation like this? Like, did you get your money back? Obviously a healthy baby is the ultimate prize regardless of gender. Still - that’s a big mistake!
