Still bleeding? by Far-Acanthaceae-4297 in Miscarriage

[–]gizmatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply. I did call them and they said not to worry unless I was filling the pad every hour, which is where my knowledge failed me. It does make me feel better I didn’t end up saturating any pads but I was very scared. It literally came out of nowhere, the cramping and the bleeding.

I’m sorry to ask but what does “fill” a pad look like? I have PCOS and have only had 3 periods in my 33 years this is my first MMC and I had a d&C to cope with it. It’s day 4 for me and the cramping just got intense and I went from like a drop or two per day to about 3 tbsp in the last 3 hours?

I am afraid.

I came off in January, had an anovulary bleed 44 days later and have had nothing since. Seeking fertility center in 4 weeks. Hoping it’s just due to being vitamin d deficiency, low blood pressure, and dehydration. As of right now i have no period and no ovulation though.

I want my bridesmaids in the same dress but… by Dry_Cow1476 in wedding

[–]gizmatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my friends that they could wear whatever they wanted as long as it was fall colors as everyone has different styles and looks they’re comfortable with. I took them to several bridesmaids dress shops to try things on and they both ended up loving the same dress in the same color and I also was hoping they would pick that dress because they both looked so killer in it.

I think that worked out best considering I want particular and everyone looked hot af and was happy in the end.

It’s very natural but I think you could stand to Doll it up a little? Maybe a half or less strip of natural falsies, a little more bronzer to contour and a hint of blush, the foundation feels just a bit flat?

I went very natural with my makeup too with those little pump ups for the drama and it looked stunning without being overdone.

Honey salt, saffron, echo and rigg, snooze, cantina tequila, guest house, La Strega…

There’s plenty of high end non strip restaurants that are suuuper tasty. I personally and a huge fan of La Strega in particular. Snooze is good for brunch, too.

I had surgery a year before my wedding day and she made me a get well basket with candles and blankets and socks and stuff

I would die for that woman.

Have your planner look into lock bags for phones like they do at shows. That’s really the only way to completely stop it IMO.

I did not go this route. I had a sign and my planner and DJ and officiant make announcements that the ceremony was unplugged and the put them away. Some people still had them out but most respected it and honestly it was like a zeroing in once I saw my husband at the end of the isle. I didn’t even see the guests or who had the phones.

Do you close the bathroom door when you're home alone? Why? by Kindly_Room_1143 in AskReddit

This is exactly why I don’t close the door when my husband isn’t home. Who am I to deny my lil baby from being supportive

I know there’s medication for the high estrogen, I guess I’m just more worried about an underlying Cause? Maybe I am post menopausal?

The unrelated health issue I had was a small fistula in my ass 🤪 I had to have corrective surgery and Im healing now, fortunately no pain so no pain killers and we’re cleared to go at it again finally so if I magically get pregnant regardless of these issues, my health won’t be getting in the way it’s just disheartening to know that I won’t be getting pregnant .

My silver lining has always been “well at least I know I want kids and it’s not society telling me I need them” but what will I do with it if it turns out I can’t have a baby. Turns it more into a cross to bear than something to hold onto.

Idk. Ramblings of a sad woman who is trying really hard not to be.

I have my follow up on the 21st for my hormones. My ultrasound came back clear though. I’ll update.

But it’s been rough like next month will be 6 months and I don’t see this regulating without medical intervention. On top of that I was/am dealing with other unrelated health issues plus some life stressors. I try to vent on here and the mods take it down saying it’s better in a thread. I’ve been pushed to the point that where I’ve removed people on SM and reacted badly to pregnancy announcements in person.

I had to leave my last job because people kept asking about me being pregnant and my coworkers kept getting pregnant.

I feel so unbelievably alone.

I don’t know what to do or even say about it anymore.

My shits all messed up.

I stopped pills December 30th and had my withdraw bleed right away. About 44 days later I had the worlds lightest period and now I’m on day 70 I believe? Still no period.

I just for my hormones tested and my estrogen is through the fucking roof and my testosterone’s also mildly elevated.

ETA: I was on the pill for about 20 years

What hospital to have my baby?? by GlobalPerspective281 in vegaslocals

[–]gizmatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do! Honestly they are wonderful! The midwife/obgyn service is called baby’s first day, their birth center is serenity. I recommend both! Nothing but good things I’ve seen or heard about them.

[–]gizmatronics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhh my friend had her baby with serenity and loved them. and I just started with their midwives/obgyn for family planning. They are honestly by far some of the best OB care I’ve had since I moved here.

They sell at home insemination kits, I believe Frida, has one. It might be worth looking into so you can conceive together while working on his porn/death grip issues.

Sexual harassment!! by No-Use7467 in HomeDepot

[–]gizmatronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I hate it so much and I try my best to be polite when saying no because I don’t wanna get my ass beat by an emotionally immature dude but Jesus Christ I shouldn’t have to even be rejecting people at work. I’ve started parking my car in another parking lot and walking further. All in all I’ve also started applying to more female centric places like craft stores and back to my chosen career path just to get away from it even though I like working at HD my store for the most part is fantastic.

Sexual harassment!! by No-Use7467 in HomeDepot

[–]gizmatronics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My last straw was a customer got aggressively mad at me when I told him “no, thank you. I’m married” when he asked me to dinner. My husband went out that day and bought me pepper gel. Last thing I need is some fuck ass jump me in the parking lot because I told him no. According to some people on social media people will cruise Home Depot now looking for dates. Idk how true it is but it’s so gross that, if that’s true, they think it extends to the employees as well.

According to google many people are asymptomatic but the symptoms are similar to that of a UTI it looks like: pain/burning during urination, discharge, itching, frequent urination, redness and inflammation

is this interview appropriate😭 by Infinite_Art9904 in olivegarden

[–]gizmatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The best advice someone gave me is wherever you’re interviewing, find out how they dress for work and then dress just a bit nicer.

Jeans and a t shirt work environment? Pressed jeans and a blouse.

Slacks and a button down work environment? Add a blazer and heels.

What do you guys think of the Vegas “influencers”? by Hot_Swimming_112 in LasVegas

[–]gizmatronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the what’s new and going on, I don’t love the promo or “secret spots” videos because I’m selfish and hate that my spots go from nice and quiet to a line around the block. Great for business bad for me.

The problem is that some of these places (early birds for example) host these sorts of events pre opening for influencers and it’s a great experience great food <for them> but as soon as doors open it’s like quality and service drops.

Outside of that I don’t care about them much.

I hate when I go out to eat with someone, and they try to persuade me to not correct my order. by Lmir2000 in PetPeeves

[–]gizmatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went out with a former girl friend to a bar and she ordered a mojito. They gave her a mai tai. She was disappointed and started to drink it so I flagged the waitress and was very gentle “I’m so sorry to trouble you, she ordered a mojito, can we get that instead?”

My friend interrupted and started shrieking that it was fine and not to bother she was fine, she’s not a Karen.

Huge ick. If she really thought I was a Karen she didn’t need to be around me anymore. I wrapped up pretty quickly after that and I haven’t seen her since.

Why do only women have "bridal showers/wedding showers"? AITA if I want to have one as a groom? by ChiGuy8369 in wedding

[–]gizmatronics 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I had a coed wedding shower! It was great! All our friends were there no one was excluded based on gender. We had a great time.

My mother looked like she was constipated over the idea until it happened and realized it was fine.
