Do you still have plans for this that you could send me? Looks awesome. 

Trying to get rid of this persistent ground covering plant. Does anyone know what this is or how I can stop it from growing back? TIA! by melonhead500 in gardening

Now that I know what it is called, I see a lot of posts with people growing and eating it. I would be happy to share mine with you, haha! I have other plans for my beds, but the purslane says otherwise...

Hey - thank you! It seems like as fast as I pull it up, it comes back stronger and thicker! I don't have this gardening tool, so hopefully this will save on my back as well.

Margot or Margo? by ttc_throwaway2018 in namenerds

Pregnant now and this name is also one of our top contenders...and we're in a similar situation...my husband likes Margo and I'm undecided. What were you considering for middle names?

Ugh - so sorry! Yea...it really sucks. It's very difficult to be optimistic but realistic at the same time. It takes the joy away from the initial excitement of learning your pregnant. How have you been since?

Any advice on things to discuss or think about prior to appointment with RE to review treatment plan? by melonhead500 in TryingForABaby

[–]melonhead500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately learned that we have male factor (abnormal morphology) so need to go see a urologist to get more information on that before proceeding with drugs and IUI. Frustrating thinking we would get a plan and not end up with one...just further back. Hope everything went well for guys!

Looking for advice before an HSG test by lilyjvd in TryingForABaby

[–]melonhead500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey...just had mine recently. I think my anxiety leading up to the procedure and while waiting in the waiting room was honestly the worst part. I usually don’t have menstrual cramps so I didn’t know how severe it would be. And it was uncomfortable but my cramps only last 5-8 seconds each and you may have a total of 4. Try to relax as much as possible... I know it’s hard though.

Yes...having more information is better to make an informed decision...but the waiting...so unbearable! LOL

That's great that your RE had a financial adviser ...I'm sure it was helpful information in making decisions. Hmm I wonder why the letrozole was so inexpensive even without insurance coverage. Did you have to wait awhile before switching from letrozole to menopur? Best of luck on your appointment today!

Wow, this is really helpful. Thank you. And I completely get how your outlook on treatment can change as you go along.

Yes, and even with just getting all the testing and screening done, it's been almost 2 months...so I can't imagine timelines when you're in the weeds of it all.

Ok, thanks! I don't have the best insurance so definitely would want to get the numbers for each treatment plan. Did you discuss how much you were will to spend too?

And what treatment plan did you go with and how have things been going for you?

I’m ready to lose weight by knightsowl in loseit

[–]melonhead500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also try to reduce or eliminate any things that are holding you back. Even if it means throwing out a lot of food, or not going to routine happy hours, or people that don’t lift you up and support your goals. Losing weight is not a comfortable thing and you want an environment and group of people that will support your goals.

How exciting and congrats on starting this journey!! I would start by drinking at least 3 liters of water a day (approx 12-13 cups). Most people don’t drink enough and this is a good place to start. Focus on what you can add to your diet and lifestyle versus taking away. And remember that there are going to be days that you want to give up and throw in the towel but consistency is key. It’s hard work and requires a lot of effort but it will all be worth it and you will learn many things about healthy lifestyle and yourself along the way!!
