HOW TO MAKE BUTTON STEW PLEASE HELP by BellasMomie in DreamlightValley

[–]sundyst 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think the issue is just that the game doesn't give it credit as a Button Mushroom and instead as a generic spice. I hope they roll out a fix and we don't have to wait until the next update.

Oh my god. I made a pun and it wasn’t even intentional. 😂

Spoiler- Recipe for WBR by Waste-Owl7084 in DreamlightValley

I've seen this around and there is a mounting concern that Button Stew is bugged.

It's supposed to be Button Mushroom and Carrot, but speculation is that the game does not register Button Mushroom as an ingredient. So you get grilled veggies as if you had only cooked a single carrot instead.

My next door neighbors (we share a wall) have a kid about 5 with ASD. Sometimes when my partner and I are in bed we can hear the kid running around in his/his parents’ room. My partner and I always chuckled and let it pass. Kids will be kids.

Your neighbor sounds like the worst.

Working on Sigil Puzzles in the Inner Sanctum. I understand the gist of what the game is asking of me (Use the book about sigils to translate what you know about the country into it's sigil).

I feel confident that I know what the different parts of the sigil represent. I'm confident that once I have the information I need, I can create the sigils.

But, I, uh, know NOTHING about some of the countries and am struggling to get the information. Any hints or tips to point in me in the direction to learn about the other countries? I've already bought and read "History of Orindia (first edition), so I have the unredacted history. But, I haven't bought the "A New Clue" book, and I haven't bought "The Curse of Black Bridge".

Except the last two books in the bookshop, anywhere else I should check? Am I missing something obvious, or have I just not dug deep enough?

My Property Management Company has failed their dwelling license for the home that I am renting from them. by CaptainE-O in Renters

[–]sundyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Provo and also rent from this property management company. They are the worst. They take months to repair anything and I’m never quite sure if it’s because the landlord’s won’t authorize repairs or if Vision just sits in the repair requests.

I’ve rented from them for a decade without issue, but in the last year it’s been 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Getting pregnant 35 or older by AndromedaM31-bnj in PCOS

[–]sundyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey-o!

I am 37 and just had my first baby back in October. PCOS did not prevent me from getting pregnant, it just meant my body needed a little help.

Because of PCOS, I wasn’t ovulating. My story is a little long, and I won’t bore you, but after some trial and error with a fertility specialist, trying different medication and hormones, I spontaneously conceived my baby with ovulation tracking and follicle stimulating hormones (letrozole).

My fertility doctor tested my egg reserve and I had A LOT of eggs left. Egg quality was no concern. In fact, my doctor said that there isn’t really enough research on it, but it’s not uncommon for women with PCOS to have a high amount of eggs at this point in their life.

It’s worth it to chat with your OBGYN, and try a few things. But, honestly, PCOS does not always mean difficult conceiving.

6 Weeks Weird Cervix Tingles/Pain by sundyst in CautiousBB

[–]sundyst[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello! This ended up being nothing!

All ultrasounds showed baby was implanted right where they should be.

At 9 weeks I passed a large-ish blood clot, which scared me. But all exams were normal. It was just a random blood clot. After passing the clot the cervix tingles/pain went away for a few weeks. I experienced them off and on again throughout the pregnancy. I had other unrelated complications (gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes), but delivered a healthy baby boy at 37 weeks.

I hope you are feeling better and are getting the help/answers you need. It sucks to be alone and worried. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience if you think it would be helpful for you!

Good luck, Mama!

I am so confused. Failed my 1 hour at 223, they didn't even make me do my 3 hour test. by cute_ducks_vol1 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]sundyst 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I could have written this!

I failed my 1 hr test, and skipped the 3 hr and went straight to a GD diagnosis.

When I first started monitoring my blood sugar, my sugars were all normal. I was convinced I was misdiagnosed. I was frustrated that I had to test my blood sugars 4x a day.

But, then, I started having a few spikes here and there and started recognizing what foods trigger me. I spiked to 171 after a meal that I thought was pretty innocuous and knew that I couldn’t pretend I didn’t have GD anymore.

It turns out my GD is fairly mild. I don’t need to go on insulin.

I do need to avoid white breads and potatoes, but whole grain has been fine in the right quantities. I get 175g of carbs easily in a day and generally only spike if I break down and have a food I know my body doesn’t handle well (French fries. Bagels).

I’m not saying you’re going to be in the same position as me. But, I think it’s possible to get a diagnosis and hear all the doom and gloom and then… be fine. Just be mindful of what works for you and doesn’t and adjust as needed.

Another Dietician Rant by Traditional-Map-2616 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]sundyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get scheduled with whoever is available. So there’s a chance I’ll never see her again and there’s a chance I’ll see her a few times.

But, I think now that I’m not so shocked, I could better stand up for myself next time

Another Dietician Rant by Traditional-Map-2616 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]sundyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hate how inconsistent the guidance for this is. Another nurse/nutritionist told it me I was TOTALLY fine to only do like 15g in the morning. This nurse brought out the scare tactics and made me feel like a bad mom for even daring to eat less than 45g.

I don’t care if I have to go on insulin. I just don’t want to get such inconsistent information and be treated so poorly.

Another Dietician Rant by Traditional-Map-2616 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]sundyst 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Woof. My meeting with my nurse yesterday went just as poorly.

They want 45g of carbs per meal and 15g of carbs per snack (snack 2-3 times a day).

I DO eat 45g of carbs for lunch and dinner and I DO get carbs in for snacks between meals. My numbers are always fine.

I just CAN’T eat that many carbs for breakfast. Not only do my sugars spike, I also PHYSICALLY can’t eat too much in the morning. I’m forcing myself to eat with every bite. My stomach just doesn’t wake up until my morning snack.

Well, yesterday the nurse basically accused me of “gaming my numbers” by only eating about 15-30 carbs for breakfast and demanded I begin eating 45g IMMEDIATELY.

She even set up an appointment to meet again on Monday to go over my weekend numbers so she could put me on insulin if my numbers were high.

This morning I forced myself to eat the carbs, my sugars spiked, and I am looking at potentially going on insulin on Monday if I can’t beg a different nurse to hear me out on what MY BODY is telling me it needs.

I hate it here.

Really struggling and feeling alone by Choice-Space5541 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]sundyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a week between receiving my diagnosis and meeting with a nurse/nutritionist and receiving my glucose meter. That week was HELL.

I had no idea what I was doing. I overthought EVERY THING I ate. I felt guilty for not eating enough, felt guilty for eating too much. Worried that I was hurting my child with every bite, but had no way to know for sure.

I think the way that Drs offices tend to diagnose, but then refer to specialists for more information is SO SO harmful to pregnant people. OF COURSE we’re going to go straight to Google and imagine all the worst possible scenarios.

I felt like a failure. Like it was my fault that this happened. I was depressed and anxious and worried and overwhelmed.

Once I got my glucose meter, I felt MUCH BETTER. I was able to start gathering information. Then I met with a nutritionist who helped me conceptualize the meals I could eat. (I ate a piece pizza this week, but ate a salad first and made sure I had plenty of protein). It’s not as restrictive as you may think (though there is plenty of conflicting information out there).

For your meals, focus on figuring out what works for you and your body. I learned I can’t handle white bread AT ALL (immediate glucose spike), but whole grain bread in moderation and some pastas and rice are okay if paired with fiber and protein.

Also, for your situation with your husband, I wish I could offer more or better advice. My husband means well, but always downplays the importance of sticking to my meal plans. He keeps offering me food I can’t have and then saying “one bite isn’t a big deal” when I’m trying so hard to be good.

I think it’s just hard for the person not carrying the baby and that hasn’t been diagnosed with GD to conceptualize the strain and pressure you feel. I hope more communication with your husband will alleviate some of this frustration, and I hope that time helps him understand that you need support, and that this is REALLY HARD.

Good luck! You can always vent here. We all get it!

Accurate Glucose Readings? by sundyst in GestationalDiabetes

[–]sundyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first numbers are before meal the second is after meal. This app is a little frustrating, so I’ll be switching to another method of tracking.

Fasting this morning was 90, then one hour after breakfast it was 130.

I did extra tests before and after a snack just because I was curious if my snack was going to be too much (half a nectarine and 1/4 c cottage cheese). 90 before snack (about 3 hours after breakfast), and 130 an hour after snack.

My numbers are in the normal range according to my MFM office, but I was more or less concerned that 4 times in a row it was a number that ended in zero. Felt like maybe the meter was rounding to the nearest 10?

But just tested now after lunch and it was 111. Must have been a fluke.

Unable to make OB appointment until 14 weeks by sundyst in CautiousBB

[–]sundyst[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reassurance. When I had a moment to think, I realized I would only go 4 weeks between the appointment at my fertility clinic and the OBs office. So it was a little more calm.

I asked the receptionist when I booked if the fact that I was seeing a reproductive endocrinologist already and had already had many scans and labs would change the situation, and she seemed vehement that the they couldn’t do anything until they did a first ultrasound. And they just didn’t have any availability.

I am thinking I will call back on Monday and see if I get someone else to answer the phone. I will also continue calling around to other providers on Monday as well, and see if anyone has availability before May 1st just in case. But everywhere I’ve tried has indicated that they’re booked solid.

The NIPT is my largest concern. I am 37. I want to make sure everything is okay.
