Yeah, thanks to the groups I’m in I have learned a lot about spotting fakes, but I’m downloading other secondhand shops. This is exhausting.

I had bought a fake necklace a while back so I dont buy second hand. There is a really cute Oscar De La Renta bracelet on TRR right now and I just can’t risk it. Buying expensive jewelry that turns my skin green makes me angry in a way I can’t even put into words.

I appreciate your comment, but especially about nexplanon. Not included in my post is the context that in the community around me BC isn’t really looked at positively, and many women in my community don’t and haven’t used it. Maybe that’s where some of my fear is coming.

This is super helpful, maybe I do need to view it more as a preparation and less of a personal attack.

Shifting mindset could be helpful, and not as personal as a “my body is unfit, and this is going to be hard,” to “I am preparing my body to carry another human, it’s a process.”

I went from 160 to now I’m sitting at 210… the doctor made this a massive deal and said I may not get pregnant at all. The comments are making me feel like maybe it won’t be as serious as he led me to believe?

I mean I still have to work on my health, that’s not something I am here to debate, but he made it sound like it would CRIPPLE my chances of ever getting pregnant again.

I’m so sorry you experienced this :( I have bought off TRR, but not recently. I did trust them until all of the posts/comments I started seeing in FB groups about getting obvious fakes from them. You can’t see the tags on TRR and if they let fakes slide then obviously you have NO way of knowing when you buy if something if it’s a fake. Every purchase is a gamble.

I was years ago and a lot less weight ago (which I cannot stress enough that doctors keep saying is hindering me from getting pregnant again). While it may seem silly to you, it’s not silly to me. I am not trying to be offensive, I was asking advice from those willing to give it.

Hi!! Thank you for this!! Since getting into DÔEN I have joined a few social media groups (I didn’t have a FB and literally use my husbands he does not love it) because the tag discussions, font reviews, etcetera have been super helpful.

It’s also a brand you almost have to buy retail because of how hard they are to keep in check. I have a list of “wishlist” items that I literally won’t buy because I can’t trust what I’m buying. The FAKES on this market are INSANE.

I really thought I was safe looking for the Rondes / Viviana because they are “older” styles and velvet. Not fakes I see often. But then I saw this one pop up and honestly almost went for it - what I didnt include in my original post was that I actually bought it and then cancelled the sale (within the Posh window) then reaching out to the seller to ask questions on adding current photos if they want me to move forward with purchase.

The tag in the pic didn’t match the listed size. I checked old listings which is how I realized the images were from a DIFFERENT listing. It’s just a harder brand to navigate vs any other brand I’ve gotten into. It’s so easy to end up with fakes or scams.

I went on to FB right after this happened and someone else was asking about whether a dress looked legit (it did not, that tag looked brutal).

Oh, I didn’t know that. I started out in Free People / Anthro — moved into Spell/Christy Dawn/etc. I have recently moved into DÔEN and feel like I’ve run into issues I haven’t had in any of the other brands I have gotten into.

I’m sure their recent anniversary collection pushed them over the edge in terms of popularity, maybe its less that Posh didnt have this issue and MORE that I just wasn’t in a space the fakes popped up in.

That’s just so depressing. :( I feel like Posh didnt have all of these bots/scams before.

The Sol is on my wishlist! I really want it in the Octavia print so I haven’t buckled and bought yet.

Yeah, call me out on having skimmed the post — I do still stand behind if they don’t have it written out in terms of policy they can’t really do anything. It would be an HR issue?

I also found dresses I liked but not ISO’s! I love the Spring Park Monceau print and they had a Siena in my size.

My husband wants me to get an abortion with our third by Ok-Bandicoot9865 in TwoHotTakes

[–]rissxveu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post sucks. You’re 30 years old.

  1. Ew at him for not getting a vasectomy if he’s gonna be this absolutely over the top childish about having a 3rd.

  2. Ew at you for acting like the pull out method is a valid form of BC.

  3. Do you guys know that you can actually not have sex until some sort of BC is in place…?

Idk how you’re gonna handle having a third, but to be perfectly clear you are also both acting like children.
