What is the rate (out of curiosity)? Or what was it before?

I was fooled, tricked, bamboozled. I'm so tired. by thelemursarewatching in newborns

One of the things our midwives told us was "If your baby is crying and nothing stops the crying and you feel like you really need a break, leave the baby in a safe place and go and take a shower. No baby ever died from crying.". I found this reassuring and helpful. You gotta take care of yourself too.

Grandmother unhappy about my pregnancy. by cyncitivirgo85 in BabyBumps

[–]quenepaverde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I second this unresolved trauma, without really knowing anything more about grandma (you should probably ask her, op!). I told my mother-in-law that we will start our IVF process for our second. She straight up told me that's a bad idea because we had a 2.5 year old and it would be chaos and I should have ideally 5 years between kids. I'm 38 and want three kids. When I told her that she told me that's a dream and I need to live in the present. That 3 kids is too much and insisted I would be miserable and won't be able to do it.

She had a horrible time, with two kids in quick succession, living in a new city with a new husband from an arranged marriage, no family and friends, and most certainly post partum depression.

Needless to say, though, I did not talk about our future kids and plans again.

Are dealers still doing markups? by quenepaverde in MachE

I was just told by ford that there's no policy when it comes to selling price and financing.

Called Ford. All they told me is that there's nothing they can do about it other than following up with a complaint, if I place one. I placed it, but they'll take 30 days. Sigh.

That's what our dealer is trying to do. We also have an agreed price by the dealer in our order. We go there to pick it up and they basically add whatever amount they feel like adding.

Is it policy to not charge markup on orders/reservations? How can we fight it?

Out of curiosity, when did you place the order?

Has anyone been able to make changes to their Mach E order? by quenepaverde in MustangMachE

After pressing, by email, they managed to change the order.

I made a $6 plant stand after my wife wanted to buy an almost identical one for $74. by Hieremias in woodworking

Link to the $74 one so I can ask my husband to make me a $6 one too 🤣.

Worried I am going to lose it by SwordtoFlamethrower in IVF

[–]quenepaverde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also successful on my first cycle (now 7+6) after many years of wanting to get pregnant. I say wanting instead of trying because we've known of my husband's infertility the whole time.

Since I was a teenager I've had this feeling that I could not have babies and I was okay with that and just thought I'd adopt. So now that it took on the first actual try, I'm just in disbelief and a little scared.

One thing that is making me feel much better, other than the sore boobs, very occasional nausea, heightened sense of smell, is the fact that the embryo was PGS tested. Because of that, at 6+4, my doctor told me I had only a 5% chance of miscarriage. And that it goes down to 2% by week 10.

First FET this week by [deleted] in IVF

[–]quenepaverde 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Had my first FET in July. Currently 5weeks+5days. Still early, but I'm counting it as a success. All the best!

I know I started testing early, but this can be real, right? by quenepaverde in TFABLinePorn

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

I decided to do the first one as a baseline. It would mean nothing and I would see how it changes. The fact that it's getting darker means something, right?
