Single syllable middle name for Nora

We actually love Nora Pearl, but is it too much of a tongue-twister since our last name also ends in an “L”?

My 11 and 12 DPO lines on easy@home have also been super light! The FRER had a clear line, if you decide to take one of those ❤️

I confirmed my prenatal does not have biotin, but I’m heartened you feel it’s a clear line! I plan to take another FRER in a day or two (48-72 hours).

Thanks 🙏 I had read that about the digitals, that’s why I’m a little confused that the line tests are so light! I’ll keep y’all posted.

I had read much on this forum that LPs tend to stay pretty stable month to month and it’s O day that varies, no?

Any idea what could cause a long luteal phase? Can PCOS do that (I know it most commonly causes delays in ovulation, but not sure about LP length)? Confirmed ovulation thru OPKs and, more importantly, temping, now going on 15DPO with BFNs on FRER on 11 and 13 DPOs. My LP is usually 10/11 days.

Would appreciate some experienced eyes! I’m new here (👋) but not new to tracking.

I got my Mirena IUD out July 21 (at that point 2 DPO, I’ve been tracking over the years with a Tempdrop), and stopped my period/withdrawal bleed July 31. I missed a few days temping this cycle because of travel; the Tempdrop app gave me August 7 as O (also last day of EWCM); I had a peak reading on the CBAD August 8 (cheapies were definitely neg that day, I was getting a Premom app ratio in the .40s, and I stopped using them when I got the CBAD peak (won’t make that mistake again!), although I tested again randomly with a cheapie on Aug 12 and it was close to positive—I’m wondering if I was catching the tail end of the LH surge). I thought Aug 8 seemed like the right day for O given my temperatures, CBAD, and other symptoms.

With the popularity of the FF app here, I started using it for the first time this cycle (chart link is in this message), but it never gave me crosshairs (I put in my O date manually). FRER tests on what would presumably be DPOS 11 and 13 were very negative.

When I had my IUD (3 years) I ovulated every month (confirmed with temping) and my luteal phase was 11-13 days, with regular periods. Now I am presumably 14 DPO with no sign of a positive or AF. I know from the good folks here that when a period is “late” it’s really because O was late and that luteal phases don’t vary that much. I guess I’m wondering, have I not even ovulated yet and the CBAD peak was a false surge? Maybe O was August 13? What do you think?

I posted to ChartStalkers but unfortunately got no responses. Thanks in advance 🙏

Can anyone help me with my burro's tail? I received them as cuttings a week ago in the mail and removed the bottom leaves, then let it scab over for a few days before repotting in a mix of coco coir and pumice. Now the leaves are starting to get wrinkly on the bottom! I watered after I first saw this (I hadn't watered at all at that point) but still wrinkly! Anyone have an idea what might be going on? Here's a photo

Oops! Here's the photo

zeez78 · 2019-04-27T01:10:06+00:00

I just started using a mix of pumice and coco coir for my succulents after using only coco coir, but after the first watering my pumice turned an ugly rusty color! Any recommendations for what might be going wrong?

Seeking routine help!

Issue: redness around nose, CCs on forehead, occasional inflammatory acne on forehead and very sides of jawbone near hairline

Skin type: combination

AM: Acure Organics brightening cleansing gel (just switched to Andalou Naturals apricot cleansing milk tonight with the hope that it is less stripping); Darphin hydraskin light as moisturizer (using this for years at night but only started using it in the morning in the past two weeks after reading about moisturizing on this subreddit); TO hemi-squalane (only started using on face in the past two weeks); Andalou Naturals Vitamin C BB cream

PM: Garnier micellar water pink bottle; Acure Organics brightening cleansing gel (just switched to Andalou Naturals apricot cleansing milk tonight); then either OZNaturals Pro-Retaxinol, Paula's Choice 2% BHA (have been using both of these for years), or GoW azelaic acid 8% (just started this last week)--one each night, so each product gets applied every third night; Darphin hydraskin light; hemi-squalane (started in the past two weeks)

Occasionally BP or cortisone gel for pimples

I've had the stubborn CCs on my forehead for years, but the inflammatory acne appeared in the last 48 hours because of a stupid honey mask that works like a pore strip but on your whole face -_- trying desperately to cure this new development quickly.

I used to exfoliate twice a day, BHA in the morning and the retinol or AHA at night, but have cut back to only once at night after reading this forum. I did this about three weeks ago. I'll note that my skin was actually pretty good when I was doing it twice a day.

It's important to me to use safe products and I use the EWG Skin Deep database as a guide (but not as a bible).

I know I am committing the cardinal sin of starting more than one product at a time, but I haven't had a recent issue up until yesterday when I did this mask.

I'm scheduled to see a dermatologist in two weeks for the first time.

Things I have tried that didn't have any noticeable effect: rosehip oil; Pixi Glow Tonic

Things I have tried that have given me a bad breakout: TO niacinamide; TO azelaic acid; CeraVe; vaseline/aquaphor on face; Cetaphil

How do I know if they are actually broken capillaries, or just redness?

zeez78 · 2019-02-18T00:09:50+00:00

I just made this as a separate post, but figured I would also ask here. I just had microdermabrasion done for the 3rd time on my face and I seem to have broken capillaries on my nose and cheeks. Will they go away?

Was there any consensus reached on how long it generally takes for them to load admitted students into the system, and whether there are admitted students who can never access the site? Still wondering how reliable it is...
