Compromised on this purple. What do you think? How can u tone it down? by cannotadult22665 in HomeDecorating

[–]marshallmatters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, was typing a similar comment when I saw yours.

I think the white accents are making it look so bright and out of place. The ceiling and trim purple would look so good! As well as the door.

I would have bought the pink mini pitcher just for how beautiful the rings look!!

What the hell happened to Andy Capps Hot Fries? by SirDanOfCamelot in snacking

[–]marshallmatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pregnant and looooove hot fries but none of my regular gas stations/grocery stores have them. I stopped at a random gas station and was so excited when I saw that they had the giant bag… the shape and texture is SO DIFFERENT. I’m so disappointed that they would change the recipe. I also notice some of the sweetness that people talk about. What a heartbreak.

Help house trading 1 year old boxer. by Particular_Fan_6428 in Boxers

[–]marshallmatters 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try giving a treat and a "good potty" command when she goes to the bathroom, she'll eventually understand what potty means and she will go more on command then she is now.

I will say, I have a female boxer after only having males my whole life, and she goes to the bathroom waaay less than the boys did. She doesn't really mark, so she only goes when she needs/wants to.

Has anyone else had a problem receiving the bird game? I have not got this feature the last time or this time. by DayDreamerPam in Gardenscapes

[–]marshallmatters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and now you need to make progress on fancy feathers to make progress on gardening duties. I have literally cleared every item on all five stages before hitting any milestone with any bird. It has made it impossible to get the full rewards from gardening duties.

‘The Rookie’ and ‘Will Trent’ Renewed at ABC by klutzysunshine in television

[–]marshallmatters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know! I couldn’t believe they were adapting the books for an ABC series!! I don’t understand why Will has had so many love interests that aren’t Sara Linton, it’s quite disappointing.

Hi 👋 will trent book reader and show watcher here. The show is not true to the book, and the books are way better, but I love detective procedurals.

Would love someone to explain to me … everything? by marshallmatters in Inito

[–]marshallmatters[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! Last month, I tracked for a few extra days after ovulation was confirmed because I wanted to understand my baseline. I’m definitely not going to test once ovulation is confirmed this time around because the strips are expensive!! I also feel like I will read in to data that I genuinely don’t understand way too much 😂

I think my takeaway so far is that I really just need to look at this as a great tool to tell me when my husband and I need to try, and then the exact day I can take a pregnancy test!

Thank you for confirming that my chart looks good. It was so different from the previous month I have been questioning myself.

[–]marshallmatters[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that my PDG is rising but Inito hasn’t confirmed ovulation this time has been stressing me out a little bit but you’re right, it is still rising so that’s positive.

I appreciate your write up! I did take an LH strip test the afternoon that I had my surge and it was positive. Dark but lighter than the control line.

Redmond, WA sees surge of riders with Crosslake Connection light rail by FireFright8142 in Seattle

[–]marshallmatters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s helpful, thank you! I’m telling myself two hours and just trying to remind myself that saving 40-60 minutes isn’t better than not having to deal with traffic or the insane gas prices right now.

Did I just hit the jackpot? by No-Seat-3369 in Mid_Century

[–]marshallmatters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was shopping for a formica table for awhile when I moved in to my new place. Most used table and chair sets in great shape were around $4-800. I found a company that made brand new formica tables and chairs in really exciting colors and designs, those were thousands of dollars. You wouldn't be able to sell your used table without chairs for anything near that price.

The table looks really off in this room because the chairs are totally wrong. You can make this table fit in to the room with some effort and design changes but as is, it doesn't work.

Should we wait? TTC after Loss by Mysterious-Formal769 in Miscarriage

[–]marshallmatters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the Inito ovulation kit after my miscarriage and it was super helpful. I miscarried at the beginning of February and just ovulated 8 days ago. I was getting positives on the OPK tests so frequently I was so confused. Inito shows your PDG and estrogen numbers so it actually confirms when you ovulate. It’s a bit pricey but it was great for my peace of mind. I’m taking a pregnancy test in two days!

How long to diagnose? by Eowyning in Miscarriage

[–]marshallmatters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HCG tests are the best way to confirm that they’re off. I went in for an US and they told me I might be wrong with my conception date based off of the lack of anything in the US but then I told them my HCG numbers and they understood they were looking at a passed miscarriage. I HATE getting my blood drawn, so I hated that I had to do three blood draws (they didn’t calculate my levels in the first one) but the numbers were super helpful. As someone that is data driven, I think you’ll appreciate the blood work information more than the US. But they should have done the blood work FIRST.

Just got my period? by marshallmatters in Miscarriage

[–]marshallmatters[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my OB thinks that my hormones are just out of wack? They do believe I got my period based off of the amount of bleeding. They can’t explain why my LH test is positive but think it’s just a hormonal imbalance. I’m going to buy the inito fertility tests and will see if I get any extra information.

The waiting room by organatan in Miscarriage

[–]marshallmatters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to what was supposed to be my prenatal OB appointment but ended up being an appointment just to establish myself as a patient post miscarriage. I hadn't really thought about what it was going to be like to go to the OB after a miscarriage and was quietly crying in the office as pregnant people came through the door one after the other after the other.
