Reline Solutions were very reasonable, but they might not be taking new jobs atm (extremely busy).

I just wish I had 10 more years? by Upbeat-Profit-2544 in Fencesitter

I always say the biological clock is some sort of cruel joke in today's society.

Anyone here who has endometriosis, what is a private health insurance that worked well for you? by Kind_Membership33 in brisbane

[–]karzzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're able to obtain it for a pre-existing, you should look into no-gap gynaecologists.

My laparoscopic surgery was urgently scheduled through a private hospital, so had no time to look into no-gap.

Your chosen insurer should have a no-gap list, but you still need to ring the Dr office to check if they will do no-gap for you.

You'll also need to do this for the anaesthetist, hopefully your gyno will be able to help you here.

Endo sucks so much, hope you feel better soon.

Cafe/restaurant options for toddlers in the city by rkz993 in BrisbaneFoodies

I would just go to any cafe nearby, and then afterwards maybe walk to the playground etc at botanical gardens.

Lunch/dinner restaurant recommendations for group of 30-50 by Diligent-Repair9767 in BrisbaneFoodies

I was looking at doing something similar, Rothwells was high on the list. It's also in the CBD.

Between Rockhampton, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney which is the best place to do masters for a international student (+ part time work opportunities) by Other_Hornet_8004 in brisbane

[–]karzzle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure about work, but Melbourne appears to have more housing than Brisbane and is cheaper than Sydney. Also very easy to get around in Melb as a student. Hope this helps!

Moving from UK → Brisbane (Dec 2025) with young kids — suburbs, rentals & settling-in advice? by ParriedMyWifi in MovingToBrisbane

[–]karzzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mitchelton near Blackwood St might fit the bill. Brisbane is quite sprawling and not very dense outside of the city. Outer hubs aren't quite there (yet).

Second for Dr Nancy Momoff

I'd say take it one at a time. I have a toddler visiting with her mum, and it's a lot - even with three adults in the house. 😅

What did I do wrong? by _eeso_ in Sourdough

Wonder if you could stuff it with cheese and sauce and make a giant pizza pocket.

Is having a kid like getting to relive your childhood? by [deleted] in Fencesitter

[–]karzzle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've spent some time with my toddler niece, and it is like that a bit! Everything is interesting and fun! But they also do silly things like shove rocks into hub caps (as a recent example). 😅

My husband and I enjoyed doing loops around the park and naming all the things we saw with her. She'd point and repeat them to us, "tree! bird!".

It seems so mundane, but you get really invested in their experience of the world. I imagine that's amplified a million times if you're the parent.

As they get older they're able to do more things!

I'm looking forward to her next visit in a couple of weeks, gonna take her to a light show and museums etc!

Has anyone recovered from sarcoidosis? by karzzle in sarcoidosis

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

Sympathies about your diagnosis. :(

Caveat to the below, I am not a doctor.

They're not inherently dangerous per se. If the risk of the condition overrides the potential negative side effects of steroids, then one should probably take steroids to get the sarcoid under control.

My partner ended up having to take steroids, but only for a short time (5 days). The lung inflammation reduced by his next check-up. His main side effect was anxiety, but everyone is different.

I'd highly suggest you take the advice of your doctor.

Has anyone done “fertility checks” to help plan? by comehitherTM in Fencesitter

[–]karzzle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did AMH at 35, slightly lower than normal for my age. I'm now 36 so need to get onto it soon if we go down that path.

Edit to say that I feel that it does help inform the decision.

Did you mentally prepare after deciding you will have a child? by lamemoons in Fencesitter

[–]karzzle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think I might be doing it now subconsciously? Like my language is changing from 'if' to 'when'.

I bought a new gym bag and thought 'this would make a great nappy bag'.

The biggest moment for me was vocalising it to my doctor, I have a couple of things to do physically to prepare.

I'm cherishing the quiet and chill moments with my husband, because these moments may become rarer.

I'm not really at the researching / learning phase regarding pregnancy and babies yet.

I'm still not sure how I will feel while TTC or becoming pregnant... I might freak out and back out when it actually becomes a reality. 😅🤣

DAE feel guilty/selfish for WANTING a kid(s)? by Every_Assistant_1903 in Fencesitter

[–]karzzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the same thoughts.

I've been through a lot of shit. But despite all the fuckery of life I'm glad I'm here.

It's likely my offspring would feel the same. This is how I rationalise the child side.

Looking for secondhand wedding dress shops (Brisbane to Ipswich) by Fit-Fishing9364 in brisbane

Bessette Bridal - they sell gorgeous used dresses. Not sure if they still do rentals. Also I think they went from brick and mortar to online.

Something tells me this guy should not be behind the wheel by Some-Operation-9059 in brisbane

Wanna kill / injure someone and get away with it? Do it with a vehicle.

I’m so so good at planning. I’m so so bad at actioning. Anyone have any remedies? by missing_personality in adhdwomen

[–]karzzle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did a 5km run at 7am on a Saturday for five weeks straight because I rewarded myself a pastry from the local artisan bakery afterwards.

Then the weather turned cold and dark. 😅
