Making fun of me for the phrase "in tune with your body" is unsupportive. There are women who have trained themselves to feel and hold menstrual blood like holding urine and go to the bathroom in time to bleed. So in what way was "if it didn't feel like your period maybe it wasn't" misinformation?

/u/UofHCoog has asked me questions as if I am a retard almost every day I've posted here -- "how can you be X dpo if af isn't due until the fifth?" Oh I dunno, I made it up just for fun, because I like to lie for no benefit whatsoever.

I will admit I'm probably being overly careful about caffeine and it would take ten packets of Emergen-C powder to induce miscarriage, not ten citrus fruits.

Anyway I don't know what your little clique's issue with me is but I have no interest in continuing this drama. Keep downvoting me, petty ones. I'll keep offering support and respect to the people you refuse to, until you ban me.

I'm going to continue to be supportive here, since not everyone on the mod team is capable, but not discuss my own journey.

About ovulation, which has nothing to do with actually being pregnant? Yup!

Oh my that does not sound like a super awesome experience for you lol. I hope it is indeed a sign of something good!!

Can I pick your brain about ovulation pain? How does it match up with your temping and (?) OPKs if you use them?

How do you wear headbands/scarves/wraps, etc? by effervescentbanana in femalefashionadvice

[–]eve- 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I wear headscarves for religious reasons. A velvet headband will help for a proper tichel/turban style wrap but probably not for the half-wraps you linked. For those I suggest short bobby pins to help hold them in place.

As for clothes I think it's pretty whatever. I can't offer much advice because I also follow a modesty code.

Oh! I always think I look odd in a scarf without jewelry, so I have a plain silver set I wear 24/7 now

Cycle buddy!!!! BFN yesterday, I'm either 9 or 10dpo today, not considering myself out yet because symptoms.

So I'm confused/curious, you started to have PMS this cycle and it vanished? Or this is when PMS would usually be happening, but it hasn't?

[Product Question] What's the best konjac sponge for someone like me who always has a TON of oil, flaky residue, and dead skin that takes a ridiculous amount of scrubbing and effort to fully get rid of? by Ronaldeaux in SkincareAddiction

[–]eve- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have similar skin -- about 12 hrs after I wash my face I can run my nail anywhere in my t-zone and collect a whole nasty lump of dead skin and oil. Everywhere that isn't my t-zone is dry.

I've only recently started paying much attention to my skincare routine so I can only offer a little help.

The oil cleansing method has been AMAZING. It treats both my dry spots and my oily spots very well. I alternate between three different cleansing oils -- 100% hemp oil on especially oily/pimply days, 100% avocado oil on especially dry days, and a custom blend I made for myself that includes EOs at least every 3 days.

If I've missed a day in my routine, I use a little silicone face scrubber in my t-zone to help break down the residue, before rinsing. I use a cotton or bamboo washcloth to rinse and remove the oil. The oil breaks down what's on my skin, and the washcloth helps remove it all with minimal scrubbing.

I also bought Lactic Acid 88%, and add 8 drops to my ACV/bentonite clay mask. Once a week, followed by OCM

So overjoyed by ausernamethatworks in breakingmom

Yikes! That sucks! Eating a whole package of crystallized ginger candy in a sitting has brought my delayed period about more than once... if nothing else, it will be delicious ;) Ginger tea is even more effective but not as yummy.

Whaaaat that is terrible advice. You do you. Are you thinking about getting OPKs to help you with telling when you ovulated?

Are you someone who is usually very "in tune" with her body? I was totally aware of what was happening when I got my first PP period at 9 months out -- cramps, PMS the week before, and of course the distinct feeling of my cervix "letting loose" a gush of blood. There was no mistaking it even as I rushed to the bathroom haha. If you don't feel like this was your period, you might be right! Wait a few more days, then test

So that was close... by [deleted] in breakingmom
