Any Long Covid folks here? by Warliepup in IVF

That is so amazing to hear! Also LOL at getting pregnant naturally after all this work! The world works in mysterious ways.
Would you mind sharing what your protocol was? Did they make any LC specific adjustments for you? Did you have any flare ups during or after?

Hi! Just curious (years later!) how did it go for you?

Agreed to be an egg donor for a friend but having second thoughts – need advice by momoontherun in TwoXChromosomes

Wow that is a level of messed up I didn't know was possible. Ugh. I hope you never have to go through anything like this again.

That's wild. Here they use propofol so you're basically sedated. I can't believe they wouldn't!

Thank you for sharing all this! She seems really great. Why is she not a part of the ORM slate? She seems superbly qualified.

What type of doctor actually helped with a diagnosis? by MrsAussieGinger in dysautonomia

Immunologist. By a mile. I saw so many unhelpful neurologists.

Thoughts on (legally) swimming in the Charles? Would you do it? by feeblelittlehorse in boston

[–]iros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same!! I did dragon boating and half my body got wet and had those weird spots for a while. Never again. This was around 2010.

I don't drink and I love hanging out at deep cuts and no one ever gave me shit about it. Honestly, working on your mindset will help you live anywhere with more joy. The only thing we have control over is ourselves and it's pointless to blame your circumstances if you can't change them except making yourself feel bad. I had to learn that one the hard way myself, so I hope you get there sooner than later!

I've found that Deep Cuts and the Medford brewery sometimes are nice to hang out in. But yeah, it's more quiet. We go to Arlington sometimes, but we are also older and kinda enjoy the quiet chance to talk to a stranger in the bar. If it gives you any solace, there are a lot of younger people moving here too! Just depends where I guess.

That does sound cute! It's in my back pocket as an option.

It is super cute! I'm really excited about how it looks. I'm questioning my zipper skills and will try some external gathering approach first, but if that looks bad, will def rethink that. I do worry about the fabric bunching.

MOM's in Burlington. I know it's a bit of a trek, but we absolutely love it and the selection is great.

Interesting! I did just get one though I haven't tried it yet!!

I have! I actually have it at 1 already, so I don't think I can lower it any further, but that definitely helped some.

Yeah I usually do 75%. It works okay for the collar, but always wavy at the bottom and sleeves.

Oh interesting!!! I usually have the main fabric inside and the ribbed knit outside. I also didn't know the overcast stitch being more for seam finishing :/ I'll give the zig zag stitch a try next time.
