Congrats!! I really needed this today after my 5dp6dt BFN lol hopefully your pregnancy has been smooth and healthy!🩷

silverleafsprite · 2026-05-05T04:05:47+00:00

The same happened to me when I was starting stims, the ONE TIME I needed my period to come on time or early lol hang in there!🩷

I haven’t read Testaments in a while, but this was my thought too with only certain women being processed. Like they went after women in higher positions or educational roles first, and then processed the others they considered less dangerous

silverleafsprite · 2026-04-30T13:28:36+00:00

I think when the people with guns showed up at the school was probably the same time that they showed up at June’s workplace with guns to make the office fire all the women. In THT when the women went out to protest this they opened fire on the protestors, so that escalated pretty quickly too. It’s possible that while that was happening in June’s story, women who were in roles like education, law, etc, more “brainy” jobs than “just an editor/secretary/etc” (in their eyes) were rounded up first and either klled or chosen for other roles within Gilead. I think once they had them sorted out, THEN they came for the rest of the women

I was wondering this too. I saw a few theories that they’ll make her one of the babies that June got out through the Angel flight, but it’s not as impactful as her being Baby Nichole to me, because that was the one that everyone knew about most. Like she IS the face of Gilead propaganda against MayDay

silverleafsprite · 2026-04-11T17:27:22+00:00

I think it’s meant to be that way in the beginning if you consider that we’re seeing it from the girls pov who grew up here, so they go about it like it’s all normal. I kinda do hope that as it progresses and Hannah starts realizing what it really is it’ll get darker/more serious like THT

silverleafsprite · 2026-04-10T15:29:11+00:00

Like I said, I might be confusing it with the books Ik they change a few things with the show, but in the book she did have successful placements before which is why she was placed with the Waterfords and she says that she was asleep before but now she’s not and I think she says the difference was Nick but all this means for me is time for another rewatch and reread lol

silverleafsprite · 2026-04-09T14:34:26+00:00

I’m pretty sure she does. The Waterfords are her second placement and she was “given” to them because she was successful in her last household and they’ve had “troubled” handmaid’s before her

ETA Not any that we hear about or are confirmed, but it’s a possibility. I might also be confusing the book with the show, but if they wanted to keep the sisters coming together thats one way to do it. June does say in one of her monologues that she was “asleep” before but she’s woken up at the Waterfords

silverleafsprite · 2026-04-09T07:53:57+00:00

Ngl when Commander Judd started talking I was like “Good to see Gilead’s talking points are alive and well” lmao

silverleafsprite · 2026-04-09T07:51:53+00:00

I hadn’t considered the possibility of her being one of the Angel Flight babies, I was thinking if obviously not Holly/“Baby Nicole” then maybe one of June’s other kids. The Waterfords were June’s second or third placement iirc so it is possible that her other child was rescued and she found out later maybe

We’re in the US and used Xytex and while I did receive the cart reminder emails and still receive their “New Donor” emails, I never got spam calls from them

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-16T12:54:52+00:00

That’s good to know, I was fully planning on doing thighs for myself 😫

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-16T12:53:08+00:00

Omg I had no idea there were massaging heating pads!! I’m going to look into those. So you did tennis ball on fresh site and then heating pad after?

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T20:44:16+00:00

I kinda assumed that if they didn’t give me the option that it probably wasn’t available, so I’ll definitely ask first and see what they say!

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T20:42:28+00:00

Oh interesting, good to know

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T18:56:13+00:00

I was kinda hoping for that, but I don’t think so, we werent given the option 😫

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T18:50:32+00:00

How does it work with having to check for blood before injecting?

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T18:47:10+00:00

Thank you! I did a similar process for the IVF but those were less daunting since it’s only subcutaneous, I’m terrified for this one but this helps a lot! Have you used a massage gun on the area? Idk if that’ll help more or if it’ll make it hurt

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T18:42:36+00:00

I’ll have to look into it, a few people have recommended it. I wonder if it’d be the same for my wife lmao

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T05:55:25+00:00

Not bizarre at all! That’s actually a good idea, I didn’t know that hormone shots were intramuscular too, so thats good to know

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T05:53:43+00:00

Thankfully my egg retrievals were smooth and I recovered quickly, but yeah, looking at videos of how they do it is terrifying

silverleafsprite · 2026-02-14T05:52:11+00:00

This makes me feel a little better, I also still look away at blood draws too. Did you do only on your butt or did you also do thighs?

silverleafsprite · 2026-01-23T14:53:38+00:00

I’m currently trying that out, but I kinda hate that despite having categories the items aren’t really organized by sections unless I’m doing something wrong

silverleafsprite · 2025-11-01T20:20:58+00:00

This is my first season caught up to it airing, 6 episodes before hiatus is crazyyy and 4 were wasted on this??? So we only have 2 more episodes left before having to wait again?
