I'm meant to be taking progesterone on says 15-30 of my cycle however my cycle has been switching from 30 to 20 days at random. How am I meant to take the progesterone if my cycle is all over the show?
It's less Trogdor more Fourth Wing, I don't think the "fix" would actually be possible though. It's scary to think people will be getting tattoos that AI has created.
I have this internal filter in a 140 litre tank that is losing flow 2 days after water changes.
I've checked all the components, there are no blockages or parts missing. The sponge is clean and the outlets are also clean.
Can anyone tell me why the flow goes from strong to a trickle 2 days after a water change?
Has anyone on here used a stock trough similar to the one pictured as a pond? Due to limited space I'm looking to set up an above ground pond. Would something like this tub be suitable for a common goldfish?
One of my goldfish is following the other one around relentlessly, could someone please explain this behaviour? I've only ever kept betta, so all this communal fish keeping is new to me! Should I separate them? Thanks.
Just picked up a new filter (Hailea HL-BT 1000) but the flow on it is crazy. Is clipping the venturi air line with a peg an ok way to reduce the flow? I've ordered an airflow valve but this is my temporary fix.
My crappy 1980 Nissan Pulsar, purchased for $700, no power steering, had a leaky sunroof, a leaky radiator and the drivers side window would fall into the door occasionally, I loved it. Drove that beast all over the top of the South.
I picked up a second hand tank that came with this fluorescent light however I can't find anything online about it. Is it worth holding on to or should I stick with my current LED? I only use low light/maintenance plants in my tanks so don't know anything about lighting.
The freebie goldfish I picked up a few weeks ago are now upgraded to a 140 litre tank after being kept in a 20 litre tank at their previous home. However I need some filter recommendations for this 140 litre tank... this is my first time keeping anything other than tropical fish and I've never had a tank over 80 litres. I'm based in Australia so it needs to be a filter available here. Also I am considering rehoming the common goldfish down the track as I know the tank won't be big enough for him, my son is very attached though so I will need some time to explain how that fish will eventually need a pond (unless I can convince my hubby that we *need* a pond 😅)
I'm an idiot, I'm over halfway through making this lace jacket - https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/long-summer-crochet-duster and I've forgotten to leave a 2.5 inch space (or any space at all!) at the top for the neck 🤦
I've already started this project again due to running out of the yarn I originally started with and nobody having more stock, I want to cry. Should I leave it and carry on or frog it? Or is there an easy fix?
I've tried making jam using a native Australian fruit (Lilly Pilly) twice now and each time it's turned into a watery mess.
I used this recipe: https://www.notquitenigella.com/2024/02/17/lilly-pilly-jam/
The first batch I used as a sauce but this batch is too watery even for that. I don't know where I'm going wrong, perhaps my fruit contains more water that the fruit in the recipe (my fruit is larger but still the same species).
This latest batch I've tried boiling again with extra sugar and it's still runny! I've left it in the fridge for a day and it's still runny. My question is can I boil it again (for a third time) with pectin without ruining the whole batch or is it a lost cause?
I'm a volunteer in a "Friends of" group for local garden but I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Our group numbers have dropped over the years to the point where there is now only 4 committee members. I'm finding myself burned out and considering stepping back from the group however if I leave it's highly likely the group will need to wind up as they won't meet their model rule requirements for the number of committee numbers and office bearers. The group is also a registered charity so is required by law to have a certain number committee/board members.
I'm an office bearer and there is literally nobody else to take my position. Attempts to bring in new members have been unsuccessful due to lack of interest. I would feel incredibly guilty if the charity shuts down just because I leave.
Is there an organisation in Australia that I can go to for advice in this situation?

I posted a few weeks ago about some rehomed fish I picked up... I've kept a fantail and common goldfish. They came in a 20 litre tank, I quickly moved them to a 60 litre with an established filter that I had spare.
I've been doing partial water changes every 2-3 days to keep up with their waste but I'm wondering if I should move them into this large fibreglass pot that I have? It's 160 litres so much more space (100cm long, 40 cm wide, 40cm high). If I do move them I'll need to work out how to plug the two holes in the bottom of the pot. Could I use an epoxy putty and then seal the whole pot with waterproof sealant? Or would the fish be better off staying in the tank until I can find a similar size tank within my budget?
Anyone else have sacroiliitis and plantar fasciitis?
I've had back pain on and off since I was 18, I'm now 38 and this month found out that I have sacroiliitis after years of thinking it was sciatica (it only took 20 years for a doctor to actually look into the issue!). For the last year I've also been dealing with plantar fasciitis, this combination makes it really hard to walk most days. I know I need to work on strength training and exercise but when just walking and standing hurts it's so so hard. Sleep isn't great either. I've gained 15kg in the last 2 years which I'm sure is making the pain worse.
My main symptoms are lower back and hip pain, often a burning pain that is worse on my left side, sometimes my toes go numb or my left leg weak, also intense stabbing pain in my heels and arches, again worse on the left.
Over the years I've tried many things to deal with back pain: swimming, yoga, acupuncture, osteopath, chiropractor, massage, TENS machine, weight training, all of these offer only temporary relief. My GP has given me a referral to a physiotherapist, a rheumatologist and meloxicam... I am seeing the physio next week but can't see the rheumatologist until August.
I guess I'm wondering what I should ask the physio and if there's any hope for recovery? Or does anyone have any recommendations on things that might help?
