Anon for this….could use some words of support from the ladies of this site. I’m only 28 and just found out I’m going to have to start provera/clomid as we are TTC and I don’t have regular cycles. Any success stories would be really helpful as I’m having a pretty hard week already!
Commiseration only. I’ve had ultrasounds, blood tests, and still no firm conclusion on a course of action. I expect it will be clomid based on conversations. Sending positive thoughts!
My Clomid miracle baby was conceived when I was 29 and in the midst of law school finals!
Christie is endorsing Trump? The guy who made up a story about Muslim Americans in New Jersey cheering on 9/11? How is this even a thing? Starting to get seriously worried that Trump will win in primary and possibly general.
I know, right? I thought Christie was not a whack job. Makes me wonder what his angle is. No way would Trump pick anyone who might challenge him as his vp pick.
If I’m a size 14 in regular stores (JCrew, Banana) would I be a size 14 at Eloquii?
I’m a 16 at regular stores and, based on friends’ advice on Eloquii fitting I ordered size 16 there too — nothing fit my chest D-: So I guess the answer is, “not if you’re disproportionately busty”? My friends said things in their regular sizes were roomy at Eloquii. Who even knows.
I think Eloquii is bigger. It’s like women’s sizes versus misses in department stores. My guess is it would be too big.
I’ve found that the pants/skirts are fairly true to size (I wear size 16 at Ann Taylor and wear size 16 pants at Eloquii) but that their tops run big.
I’m having some skin issues and have an appointment to see my dermatologist next week. In the meantime, I think doing some heavy-duty moisturizing might help alleviate the symptoms. Can anyone recommend a good drugstore brand moisturizing mask to add to my good moisturizer? I’m in a small town and want to buy something asap, so Walmart, Walgreens, CVS are my only options.
Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration
Could you just get a ripe avocado and some honey? If not, olive oil to leave on for a while would work.
coconut oil? it’s the most moisturizing thing i’ve found (do it just for a minute before you get in the shower, so it’s quick too) and it’s antibacterial or antimicrobial or whatever too
Walgreens – Aveene overnight moisture mask for sensitive skin. A bit pricey but works like magic.
I really like Ponds Dry Skin Cream. Pretty oily stuff, but it absorbs nicely and does a great job of moisturizing. I like to put it on before my evening shower in the winter, and do a little moisture/steam mask, and then follow with a gentle cleanser.
