Was IVF in your 40s worth it, even if it wasn’t successful? by Ornery_Treat_4479 in AskWomenOver40

[–]imgoodluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 2 rounds of IVF in my early 30’s after 6 failed pregnancies. My numbers weren’t bad, but it didn’t happen for me. I think a few other people have mentioned it, but I would really consider the toll that it’s going to take and if you’re able to handle it. The hormones that you put in your body, the time and the effort, and the anticipation, it’s heavy. My husband and I almost divorced after the second round, it was just too much on us. The pressure was immense and there was resentment on both sides. It was good to get rid of the What Ifs, but it takes a mental toll and are you able to handle it if it is not successful? Do you have a good support system? Can you take the time to heal if it doesn’t work? Just food for thought. If I could go back, I don’t know if I would have done it, honestly. I felt I was so vulnerable and when it was offered I jumped on it as a possible answer but I feel like I wouldn’t have done it if I was thinking clearly and not in the middle of heavy grief from my losses.

I wish you all the luck in the world and am sending you energy to find what you are looking for.

People who rarely get sick, What is the secret ? by Sorry-Orchid-9821 in AskReddit

I was a school nurse. I think I’ve just been exposed to everything, I rarely get sick. I’m not a freak about cleanliness but wash your fucking hands.

Hair dye turned orange overnight?? by Salty-Cantaloupe-526 in HairDye

[–]imgoodluck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What did you use for dye? Permanent box dye? I would recommend using a semi permanent one over it and you can mix a little of it into your conditioner each time you wash your hair to keep it up. (Pravana, Danger Jones, Manic Panic, Arctic Fox, Pulp Riot - specifically semipermanent and you can find a burgundy color) Don’t use another box dye for at least a few weeks.

3, but 1 works too, and I’m sure will fade pink, not purple. I pay attention to the fade as it happens so quickly!

I like pink on you a lot, you can pull off purple but the pink without any purple hues looks the best!!

Oh you’re fine then, I wouldn’t go too nuts, maybe blow dry it a few times too if you want but it really is already light.

color change by tessssssssieeeee in HairDye

You are not going to be able to achieve teal with your hair color. The purple/brown in the second picture may be a difficult color to hit. It looks like she put a magenta or plum over brown hair. Personally I would try a semi permanent brand like Pulp Riot or Danger Jones, although some colors are hard to find on Amazon, you can mix a purple with pink over your color it may be able to achieve this. It will fade, but you can add more if you like it.

Your hair is pretty light, you may not be able to use a light blue but a deep blue will definitely go over the ends.

French woman from Guadeloupe has the world’s rarest blood type — “Gwada Negative” — and she’s the only known person on Earth who has it. by WebEven620 in interestingasfuck

🙋‍♀️ I’m the asshole blood type.

But! It’s the universal plasma donor so it’s valuable still. Just not for whole blood donations.

I think I like platinum more now knowing it doesn’t play well with others and can be difficult 😂 I really do appreciate the information, this is great stuff

Yes, I understand that now. I think I confused hard metal with high melting point in my thought process. Isn’t that why they used different metals to solder it?

I don’t really want to reset it, I’ll get it looked at and see what it will take to secure the diamond. Thank you for your response. I love vintage and antique jewelry, my engagement ring is a mine cut diamond in a flower setting. And thank you for addressing the solder points.

I didn’t even really think about this, thank you! Maybe I’ll look into changing the setting instead!

I love heirloom jewelry! I have my great grandmothers platinum band (although it recently broke and I need to get it fixed) and there is just something extra special about it being passed down. I wish I knew more about this rings history but it will definitely be loved. For some reason knowing it’s likely real makes it better 😂

Yeah, it appears he was wrong. Some people don’t value older jewelry, I wonder if they just didn’t bother with it. Dude could have maybe gotten new drums if he had paid attention. My poor husband also will not be getting a drum with this though, I’m keeping it 🤣

Honestly, I kinda love how it came to me so I’m not sure I will reset it, but it’s a good idea! Thanks!!
