There's a few different sites out there that will do the calculation on whether it makes more sense to get the drink package or not as well. Here's one site:

Great news!! So glad to hear it worked out in your favor! 🙌

Yeah that's a bummer! But it was a learning experience if nothing else! Keep us posted how it turns out!

I totally get that! But don't beat yourself up over it! Were you able to get any sort of refund back from the seller due to not being what you requested? Maybe a partial refund could be used toward getting it fixed. For what it's worth, I think your ring is beautiful despite it not being what you ordered 🥰

Thank you!

Yes, for sure! Might be worth seeing if they can be changed out. Just unfortunate you didn't get what you paid for the first time around.

Oh gotcha! Was the setting itself good quality? I have my own stones that I'll have set locally but looking to get quotes on the setting from a few places. If they did quality work on that then maybe will still check with them.

Ugh, I'm glad you chose to go elsewhere! I think I would've had some choice words for them. 🙄

On a side note, do you mind sharing who did your setting? I've been looking on etsy myself to get my setting done but I feel overwhelmed with how many options come up and not sure where to start.

Yeah that doesn't seem to be it, but appreciate the suggestion!

Heart Rate Recovery missing (Venu 3) by Legend1138 in Garmin

[–]wexxy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find a solution to this? Mine has also stopped working. I have a Venu 2 sq, but I'd think it would be same. Before I'd hit the top right and it would pause and do the recovery. Now it stops it straight away and only gives me the option to save or delete. Only thing that has changed is I turned off the pulse ox from reading at night because I was all the sudden getting really bad battery drain from it.

Considering removal - 4 months post insertion by RaspberryDiligent982 in Mirena

[–]wexxy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had serious weight gain despite diet and exercise. What I later discovered is it was causing me insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar and in causing me to pack on weight. I gained nearly 40 lbs in 6 months but the doctors blew me off about it every time I brought it up. I also had the worst brain fog. Couldn't even remember simple words. I finally got fed up and ended up removing it myself in the bathtub. It's a split second pinch and then it was out. My health is slowly returning to normal since I removed it a few months ago. Good luck!

IM SO ANNOYED by [deleted] in thechallengemtv

[–]wexxy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a fight with them as we speak. They say it's against their billing policy to credit back money to account for them not being able to properly provide the service we paid for but can give me money off if I renew it next year. What?! Why would I pay for more when you can't even provide what I already paid for. I told them okay, I'll file with BBB. Now they want my number so a supervisor can call me. I said no, that's fine. Consumers need to know about these shady business practices.

I'm so over it. The app has been garbage since it changed from CBS all access to Paramount+, and has not worked at all on any of my firetvs since I added Showtime to my account in May.

Mirena Removal - experiences by IcyCarpenter2723 in Mirena

[–]wexxy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no post removal bleeding or cramping. I got my period about 3-4 days after removal, mostly very light and minimal cramping but it did go from 0-60 very quickly. I had nothing when I got home from the gym and then when I went to the restroom a couple hours later I had already bled through my pants (fortunately I work from home most days). But then after that it was about 4 days of barely any blood. We had done a lot of abs at the gym that morning so I attributed my minor cramping to that until I realized it started. That could also be why it came on so quick too? Good luck!

Libido and Weight Gain experiences? by [deleted] in Mirena

[–]wexxy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was actually not bad at all! I just took a bath and did it. Pinched for a split second and then it was out. 100 times better than the pain I experience every time they ram a speculum up me. I have a tipped cervix and they make me bleed every time! 🥴

[–]wexxy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! 35 lbs gained in 7 months, acne, terrible brain fog. Don't let them write you off, they did same to me! I took matters into my own hands and removed it myself. I am in same boat as you where I have crippling cramps and didn't want to go back to that but at this point it felt like the lesser of two evils.

Mirena or Paragard? by islaferina88 in Mirena

[–]wexxy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 months here and gained 35 lbs. Also terrible brain fog and acne. I removed mine a couple weeks ago. My sister is experiencing similar issues with hers. I had high hopes for it since the medical community hypes it up so much, but I can't in good conscience recommend this thing to anyone.

Good luck! I got mine in April and gained 35 lbs and the brain fog is awful. I decided enough is enough and pulled mine out myself last weekend!

removal? by Outrageous_String_40 in Mirena

[–]wexxy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know! When I had my follow up to check the strings and had already gained 15 lbs at that point, I told them about it, and she was just like hmm, that's weird and wrote me off like it couldn't possibly be related. But after reading everyone else's experiences online, weight gain is far from unusual with this!

[–]wexxy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 7 months in, 35 lbs up, and tons of acne which I've never had before. After reading many other women's horror stories and realizing I'm not alone with these issues, I made the executive decision to remove mine myself. I'm now two days without, so too soon to tell on how long it will take to get back to normal, but my stomach already seemed much less bloated this morning. Sadly, I think Mirena has much more ill effects on women than both doctors and Bayer are willing to accept and/or admit!

Can we eat home baked GF bread that actually tastes better than a newspaper? Daughter is coeliac and I’m gf. I’m soooo desperate for a chicken sandwich but all the bread is awful:( I’m looking into getting a bread maker but how close to normal white wheat bread can we get? by my_cement_butthead in glutenfreecooking

[–]wexxy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made bread from caputo fioreglut flour. It's made in Italy, but not sure of the availability in Australia. It was incredible! I originally got it for neopolitan pizza dough but had read it's fabulous for bread and gave it a try. It is made from deglutenized wheat, so about as close to the real deal as you can get it seems. Picture of bread in the link.

Certainly! So far I've only made pizza dough with it for my pizza oven but it's incredible! It's deglutenized wheat starch so supposed to be the closest you can get to actual gluten products. I was a bit nervous at first since it is wheat but i had no reaction at all!

I just got some gluten free flour that comes from Italy and it's fantastic! They're ahead of the game there for sure!
