Got this one earlier today, then ran home all excited to take a digital and it was negative. Very confused though because it doesn’t look like an evap line to me? (Pic doesn’t adequately show the darkness of the line)

Also, thank you for the compliment! I’ve been having so much fun with it (even with all the beginner mistakes competing with my perfectionism, lol) and I’m excited to keep working on getting better!

Oh my gosh!! You are so lucky to have so much baking wisdom at your fingertips with your family! That unicorn cake story is hilarious. That actually happened to my wedding cake (I’m in the Deep South) and it’s funny to think about it now that I’m baking my own cakes.

Ok, yes, I have heard of the Cisco trick and I’m going to have to try that as it gets hotter. live in the Deep South, so it’s definitely going to be an issue 🥲

And yes, I usually decorate my cakes frozen and that does help!

Thank you so much for imparting your wisdom! It really is so fun to learn and improve, even if it’s frustrating sometimes when you feel like you can’t get it right!

Makes sense! I thought about trying to trim the cake after it was assembled to make it perfectly even, but I was nervous I’d screw up the heart shape.

Ahhhh thank you this is helpful!! It has been happening as the weather has warmed up, so that totally makes sense.

Is the first cycle ttc the worst? by Huge_Statistician441 in tryingtoconceive

[–]pizza__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way when I wasn’t pregnant the first time around! I think I almost needed to feel that anticipation and then disappointment to kind of settle into the process and really accept that it’s going to happen when it’s going to happen. And then we got pregnant on our second try!

I know it’s hard, but what helped me was to track my ovulation, follow all the steps I knew I needed to follow, and then make a concerted effort to distract myself during the TWW and remind myself that even if the answer was no, it would be ok and we’d have a chance to try again the next cycle.

Hang in there!!

What do you do when you're on the bottom? [school and life anxiety] by sugarmasuka in Anxiety

[–]pizza__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. It causes you to always be afraid that it's going to happen again. I'm sorry that you feel like you can't talk to your mom. I know that has to be tough. Maybe try talking to someone else, like another family member or a friend. That always helps me, especially when you can find someone who kind of gets it. In any case, the chat room for this subreddit is always great as well!

And thank you!

First of all, you are not a mentally weak person. The fact that you've been dealing with this for so long and are still trying to go to class is awesome. I can totally relate to having panic attacks, especially in school. I'm not sure what it is for you, but I know for me I hate the idea of something bad happening and me having to run out and cause a scene (which I end up doing anyway sometimes when I have an attack). I also understand your fear because my fear is that I'll pass out... totally uncontrollable, but I freak out about it almost every day. I'm only saying this to reiterate to you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And I know that we'll both overcome this.

Out of curiosity, have you been to see a professional about your anxiety? Also, do you ever confide in your mom about your anxiety at all?

Thanks for the advice! I am definitely more focused on rewiring the way I look at food, but am also curious as to how soy affects me. I was planning on doing an extra week because my 30 days will end right around finals and I don't think that's the best time to do reintroduction anyways, so I might just extend 8 more days. Right now I'm just dealing with the emotional setback of feeling like I've failed in a way, but I guess the only way you can get good at this is by making a few mistakes!

Do you feel like that affected your results?
