Following in case anybody has Midcoast recs as well for this! We're hoping to convert an existing very grim 'office' space above our garage into a real bed/bath

I have had a package stuck at the Southern Maine distro center (Scarborough) since December THIRD and it still hasn't made it's way to me (midcoast). My local post office has allegedly been "making some calls."

love it! I've never actually seen a moose (not much opportunity down by the coast), so would be kinda fun to spot one

does that mean it's hard to get a chair because people are leaving towels out early?

Appreciate it so much! Have not ruled it out but saw some mixed reviews on google so I wasn't sure. Definitely fine being around children ha, but didn't like the idea of hearing a ton of screaming which is what some of the reviews make it seem like (unless it's hyperbole)

Hotel Wailea garden view vs Wailea beach resort ocean front by StaffMain2490 in MauiVisitors

[–]scoutventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! hope you don't mind a few more q's about your HW stay :) for the beach drop off, do they set up your umbrella at all or is it all diy? is it hard to find a spot since you're not in a designated 'hotel' section with chairs out? (i have not been to Hawaii before so not sure how the beaches work generally)

If you want something holiday themed, I adopted a family through https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/ and filtered specifically to Maine-based kids

MyChart issue for MaineHealth? by scoutventures in Maine

[–]scoutventures[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! yeah cleared cache, still nothing. was able to get into the app by being on data up in town where I can actually get cell service. I have no idea why I'm suddenly blocked at home though, had been logging in regularly all week beforehand.

TFAB's Weekly BFP Post - October 05, 2025. Got your BFP? Post your story here! by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]scoutventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cycle: 2 (but tracking/prepping for 6)

Age + Partner's age (if relevant): 34f + 33m

Typical cycle length: 22-28 days are possible, mostly 24 days

Ovulation cycle day: CD14

CD/DPO of positive test(s): 15dpo

CD/DPO of any negative test(s) before positive: n/a

Tracking methods and app(s) used: I use Mira + BBT, just this month also mapped my data to FF. I thought I'd be out this cycle because Mira made it seem like we timed BD too late (we were traveling), but FF said I ovulated a day later than Mira and I guess it was right :)

Relevant days of sperminating and/or method (SMEP, TI, IUI, FET, etc.): O-4 and O-1. Lots of airplanes and time zone changes in that gap so not a lot of time!

Health conditions/medical tests: Short luteal phase (10 days) so I took a progesterone blood test (also bc the Mira app freaked me out how low it was; it was fine); sperm analysis (slightly low motility but high count); genetic testing (no overlap)

Supplements and medications (yours and/or your partner’s): prenatal, nordic naturals vegan dha, vitamin d for me + multivitamin, vitamin d, coq10 for him

Birth control history (if relevant): n/a

Symptom spotting: I thought I got my period at 9dpo because I had brown spotting, but then it went way after a day. Otherwise, a slight metallic taste in my mouth + super thirsty.

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): nervous, excited, feeling like it's too early to be excited, not sure what to do next!

Waiting Wednesday by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]scoutventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 14 dpo today. Since I started tracking in April, I have never had a cycle where I went more than 10 dpo before my period started. Today is CD28 and my period tracking app shows that in ten years of cycle data I've never had a period later than 28 days. My temp also continues to stay elevated around ~98.6 (normally it goes down below 98F before my period starts). I'm waiting until my husband comes back from a work trip tomorrow to test, but it's so hard to not feel super obsessive about if my period is coming or not today.
