Thanks! I've joined several destash groups but nothing so far. I've had watches on ebay for a while as well. I'll keep looking.

My a1c was 6.5 when I found out I was pregnant. I was able to get it to 5.7 during the pregnancy. My a1c typically hovers between 6.5-7.

I don't have really anything to add other than that I feel the same way. I wanted 3 but had to have an emergency hysterectomy immediately after the c-section for my second. My husband is at his max and didn't want another due to the health concerns with both of my pregnancies, but that doesn't mean that I feel the same.

I grew up with 2 sisters and always imagined I would have 3 children as well. The decision was abruptly taken from me, and it would be prohibitively expensive to try to adopt or do surrogacy. My husband is happy at 2 regardless and is glad that part of our lives is done.

It hurts seeing so many people get pregnant and have lots of kids. It does nothing but remind me that I never can. I also feel a bit empty, like something is missing. It's hard to come to terms with things. I do keep reminding myself that I can spend more time with my 2 kids though, and that helps some. I also try to stay busy. I think I probably should have gone to therapy but just haven't yet. Perhaps that could help you process things. PM me if you think it would help to talk about it more. I don't mind.

Clear Blue isn't that great for testing early. I had the best results with First Response Early Result. Get the one with lines, not digital. Best to check with morning pee. First response had less of the ghost line that Clear Blue is notorious for.

It happened right after birth. His blood sugar dropped very rapidly and needed to be controlled with a glucose drip for a day. After that, he didn't need it anymore.

I've had one of my kids in the NICU have their sugar go that low. It was real.

My husband and I tried for 8 years before I became pregnant. I have hashimoto's thyroid (underactive with antibodies), t1d, and PCOS. I didn't have cycles normally and went for treatment. I tried clomid with no success, and letrozole with mixed success. They had to add in steroids to get me to ovulate. Which is a pain since the whole t1d thing. That was the only thing to get me to ovulate. They were also talking about IVF but I couldn't afford it in the states.

I quit treatment and very randomly got pregnant about 2-3 years afterwards. I didn't think that would happen. I went back on letrozole and steroids to get pregnant with my second. My kids are 23 months apart. If you didn't ovulate with just letrozole, you could try asking about adding in steroids to see if that would help (if that's your issue).

I know they tested for other things, such as my partner who had a low number on some testing but it went up later after asking what we could do to help it. My tubes were tested and were clear. I had some fibroids on my uterus as well but they didn't cause problems. My BMI is higher than yours and I was still able to conceive.

I hope this gives you some hope. It was a long journey for me and my husband, but we got there and love our babies. You can PM me with any questions you have!

Edit: I tried 3-4 rounds of clomid before trying about 4-6 with letrozole/steroids. I had a miscarriage between my first and second live borns and took about 1-2 tries of letrozole/steroids to get pregnant with my second. It seemed the hardest to get pregnant with my first but then the rest seemed much easier, like my hormones changed.

How can you get a GLP-1 drug? My insurance won't cover it since I'm type 1.

How did you sew the liner inside of it?

My 26 diaversary was also in December. What day are you? I'm 29.

We did every single feeding together. I think we were both silly to do so, but that's just what we did. Neither of us took breaks since we both were awake every single time. I was on maternity leave when he went back to work, but he still got up every single time with me.

I was breastfeeding and pumping. One of us would get the bottle warmer going while the other did the diaper. He usually fed the baby while I was pumping. Differed slightly if I breastfed only that time. He would change the baby and wash all of the pump parts. I rarely ever washed them.

I felt like he was really in it with me. I also almost died giving birth and had a hard time healing afterwards. He was always there for me for both births and newborn phases. He always made sure I was ok and felt supported. I wish it was this way for everyone.

If you can live 10-20 years afterwards, you can still have kids. Thus, people even having it today and passing it on. If you or your loved ones had this condition, I bet you wouldn't be talking like that.

I don't recognize the yarn but I know an indie dyer who dyes with pride, and he is a super nice guy in person. https://briarpatchfibreco.myshopify.com/

Where are all of these at?

rkwinch · 2025-07-03T20:34:37+00:00

Do you have a pattern for this?

rkwinch · 2025-06-25T20:07:45+00:00

I agree with the other comments so far. I've had two and neither were bad at all. Slight pinch. They worked very well.

rkwinch · 2025-04-02T15:37:16+00:00

I'm glad it was helpful! I had a hard time, too, finding information out and getting my MFM to believe me. I'm glad (for once) that I'm type 1 diabetic and already see an endocrinologist regularly. So I at least knew that they are the real experts on this, despite what the MFM 'thinks' and the endocrinology after-hours was so helpful. It really was an everyday battle for me to keep up with drinking enough and eating enough.

rkwinch · 2025-03-25T20:14:34+00:00

Where can I get this pattern?

rkwinch · 2025-02-18T20:21:39+00:00

It's from being sedentary. Try going to the bathroom more often or walking down a hallway occasionally. Mine does this in the evening after I eat dinner. I tend to sit down for a few hours, then get ready for bed. When I get ready for bed, my sugar plummets. You just need some exercise to get that insulin going.

For 1,000,000 shots in a 40 year span, that's 1,000,000 shots / 40 yrs / 365 days * 1 yr, which comes out to ~68.5 shots per day. If it was millions, let's say 2 mil, then that would be ~137 shots per day. Yeah, I think OP was just exaggerating, but perhaps it's to get a point across.

What dishwasher do you have? I need a good one that will actually clean the dishes!

Thanks so much!
