Hi

I just got a voucher for Etsy but I dont know what shops are trustworthy on Etsy anymore.

So I am looking for Etsy shops that do cross stitch kits that people would recommend.

I am a beginner in the terms I have nothing and just decided to try this craft as I always wanted to and figure a kit would be a perfect start and got this voucher.

I am in the EU

Hey I have a ravelry account for my knitting patterns

I have threadloop for my sewing patterns

Is there anything similar for machine embroidery designs?

I currently have tried to create a spreadsheet but my pictures refuse to stay in the designated cell and is really frustrating

Any suggestions please let me know

My fertility journey has been rough.

Filled with doctors pretending to do requested blood tests but never actually doing them to forgetting to put referral letters etc

It's been really stressful and constantly delayed due to doctors messing around.

Finally reached the IVF stage of our journey and we've both decided that our goal is one egg retrieval and implants are based on how many embryos we'd get (low egg reservoir so goals were 2 implants) and at the start we were told that as we're relatively young we would be doing a fresh transfer.

We're both happy with that as it means we have a clear end date. Either we're successful or not either way we're finally going to be at the end of our journey.

Things are going well enough some hiccups with sick leave but reach egg retrieval day and I'm literally in the stirrups and the doctor goes by the way we're doing a frozen transfer. A decision that had been made at my last scan days before the retrieval but I'm only being told now.

I'm confused and worried why has this changed and got glassy eyed as this has been just landed in front of me just before the procedure and I'm on medication for the retrieval.

I was upset because once again the end goal was in sight and it was ripped away from me.

But I let it pass got through the procedure and when I'm in the recovery room my partner is told I need to be evaluated for prepartum stress disorder before they will go ahead with any potential implants.

So guess who now has to go do a mental health evaluation.

It just feels really insulting and to add insult to injury I requested as we are now freezing my embryos can they be dna tested and they are refusing because they don't see it being necessary and I hadn't requested it when I started the cycle.

Back when it was going to be a fresh transfer and therefore can't be requested??

Anyway for people looking for the stats I managed to turn 6 eggs into 4 fertilised embryos and I have 2 blastocysts officially frozen which I think is very good going with a low egg reserve.

I'm now just going on holiday ignore all of this and just reset for a few months.

Thank you for letting me rant

Got these so danca tap shoes on vinted and the pics looked perfect but in person there's obvious damage to the leather.
