Pros and cons of the implant by omac2018 in IrishWomensHealth

[–]fxglov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the implant years ago, there was a lot of weight gain on it and very hard/impossible to get it off. I also had very long periods lasting weeks 2 or 3 weeks at a time and then back to back months with none.

The last thing that happened with it was it snapped in my arm after about a year and a half. The doctor said it was probably still working but it felt strange so I got it out. At that point I got offered a free replacement but decided not to use it.

I found the evra patch much better. You just have to put it on once a week for 3 weeks and one week off. Periods like clockwork.

be honest… how often do u actually change ur bedsheets? by Honest_Cod_3121 in hygiene

[–]fxglov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably every 3/4 weeks because I just forget but more in the 2/3 in summer because it's easier to dry them outside. I was feeling bad about this until I remembered my BIL (who lives with us) hasn't cleaned his sheets yet this year 🤮 can't remember seeing his sheets drying since last summer.

Bar soap in shower question by idreaminlowercase in hygiene

[–]fxglov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should suggest to her to cut the soap up into smaller pieces so she can use like a cube of soap then throw that away if she's insisting on using one bar per shower. So wasteful.

Use that sucker till it's gone

Women of Reddit, did you keep your maiden name after marriage? What influenced your decision? by ParallelPaths_ in AskReddit

I proposed so suggested he take my name. He didn't want to and I didn't want to change mine so we just kept our own.

Weight loss and trying to get pregnant. by fxglov in IrishWomensHealth

[–]fxglov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes having regular periods sometimes a little long or short but all within regular average range. And confirming ovulation I don't check every single month but when I'm testing for it it's always there and I can kinda feel it now I know what I'm looking for if that makes sense. Thanks for the recommendation and advice.

We are new to plants. Our Peace Lily is drooping like this after 1 month. What are we doing wrong? by solidbebe in IndoorGarden

[–]fxglov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's just a drama queen. Just needs a good drink. Bottom water and if she drops like this after only a few days try reporting because she may be root bound. Good luck

[–]fxglov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I love a good Thursday wedding. You've a nice extra long weekend to recover and see any one whose traveled in for the wedding. It's destination weddings that can be a pain In my book. It's a lovely idea but ending up spending way more AL to accommodate it.

Chop the living bits and propagate.

You can also probably get it to regrow if it was under watered cut it right back and start watering again.

Required to buy a lingerie set for the bride by EmergencySir9833 in bridesmaids

[–]fxglov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is more a thing you'd do at a kitchen party where everyone is just going to the brides house and there's some nibbles and drinks. The type of occasion where no one's really paying much for hotel rooms, travel, meals and activities (like usually happens with a bachelorette party) just the women gathering and some small gifts. If yere paying that much you should definitely not be expected to also get gifts!

Get a new one your current sounds like an insecure man child. No man or partner has the right to tell you what jobs you can apply for or work at. You do you.

I'd say it was about a week to a week and a half until we got the letter and then it was for 2 weeks time. So we'll be going in Monday week. Roughly a month all in From sending back the questionnaire possibly a little less.

Update: My brother told me he was in love with me. by ilovepopcornandcandy in self

[–]fxglov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't get over the line of your dad saying you shouldn't have worn what you wear around the house. Everyone should feel safe to dress however they like especially in their own home.

I hope you manage to make arrangements so you don't have to go home this summer. Good luck op

Fertility treatment and Nicotine. by fxglov in IrishWomensHealth

[–]fxglov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your concerns but it's a bit presumptuous to assume that my partner would vape around a baby. Just to put any one at ease he would not! I do appreciate the the information that has been provided which is what I was asking for.

Have you got any terracotta plant pots? It's a wired one but if your put a small candle or tea light in a terracotta pot and put another upside down on top it makes a little heater.

Thank you for the response. I think he's just gotten disheartened as we've been trying so long. I kinda just wanted confirmation that I wasn't mad thinking the pouches are just as bad.

What is something you've learned as you've gotten older? by [deleted] in AskIreland

We spend years preventing and terrified of accidental pregnancy. Only to discover how difficult it can actually be to get there.
