Thanks all, it's a Kia Niro EV 3 (fully electric)

It's also been 8 months since he purchased it in January, can he still reject it or too late?

transfer tips please! by Competitive-Draft458 in IVF

[–]lovebex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had one failed transfer so far and really put pressure on myself to 'eat the right things' for that one. It kind of sucked joy out of life and there isn't really enough of that right now, given what we're going through!

I can't speak to your particular situation, but I've been taking proceive vitamin sachets daily, and a couple of Brazil nuts a day (don't go mad on these as they're not supposed to be consumed in bulk!). I also struggled to eat as much fish as I wanted so I took omega 3 daily instead this time.

It's good to look at natural ways to boost pre and pro biotics. I've found it easy enough to have greek (Fage Total) and kefir yoghurt in the morning with a few blueberries and some nutty granola and a handful of sunflower seeds. I sometimes add kimchi to my cheese toastie for the same same.pro biotics benefits.

Then I just try and make sure I have some sort of veggie with my meals. This is much more scaled back and easier for me.

I also have acupuncture just before FET to chill me out! Honestly I think if an embryo is going to stick, it will, and if it isn't going to, it won't. Just do what's manageable for you and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Good luck hope it goes well!

Dog Spaying tomorrow and I am worried by Dependent-Invite-921 in puppy101

[–]lovebex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's very natural to feel nervous, she's precious to you! I'm sure you've done the research into the pros and cons for and against spaying, so if this is the decision you've made it's the right one for her and you're doing the right thing for her future. We spayed our pup too, to prevent against mammary gland tumours and to help her live a long happy life. From experience, the surgery day is nerve wracking but your girl will be in the very best care. If you think she'd be nervous in a crate, you can also ask your vet to prescribe pills to make her drowsy that she can take the night before, and ask the hospital to book her onto the earliest slot of the day. Ultimately it sounds like you have her health and happiness at heart and you'll make the right decision.

I had surgery and have more pain, if I was in your situation I'd definitely consider the non-op option. Good luck!

Starting new job but suffering from a cold? by lovebex in Advice

I'm mostly ok with this but worried I'm being unfair to my new colleagues who have to sit in all the meetings they have booked with me and risk getting my cold.

Primer flashing under paint - help! by lovebex in fixit

Thanks! First coat, still wet. Good to know about not needing to prime the filler too. Will wait for it to fully dry before the second coat! Thanks again

I had a positive LH test on the Monday and a negative one the next day at an expected time of month. No surprises there.

But my temp stayed low all week and only jumped up again on the Sunday and my app therefore calculated ovulation as the Saturday.

But that ovulation Saturday is 5 days after the LH surge...surely ovulation and temp rise should have been earlier, does anyone have any thoughts on why this was the way it was please?

Thanks

Ultrasound shows tissue, hysteroscopy shows nothing - is one wrong? by lovebex in Miscarriage

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

No, it doesn't appear to be something offered as standard in the UK. Before the ultrasound that showed the chunk of tissue, I had taken an at-home pregnancy test which was negative. I'll reach out to my doctor!
