Hi! I posted one very silly short with my husband that went viral on YouTube and we gained a wild amount of subscribers from it, *but* our actual videos are flopping. Our the high sub numbers actually hurting the channel if subscribers aren’t watching?

I swear this is not a braggy post whatsoever. My husband and I make very silly crochet content on Instagram/youtube and for some reason got so incredibly lucky with our first few videos. But, now that things have massively slowed down- our views are much lower, especially on long form content. I know that the videos are likely being put on current subscribers feeds but it doesn’t seem like they are interested anymore. I wonder if having a high ratio of subscribers in conjunction with low views/watch time is hurting the channel as opposed to helping it. We’re still super new to this and honestly I adore editing so I don’t plan on stopping if views don’t go up, I’m more curious on if I’m doing something wrong. Thoughts?

Bleeding in luteal phase, hormones all over the place, this has never happened. No idea if I ovulated and almost out of tests, I'm losing my mind

I started spotting on CD 22 (October 3rd). I usually have pre period spotting by about a week at most but not this early. My cycles are usually around 35-37 days long so spotting on CD22 is so out of my norm. Please help me understand

Unusually high PdG before ovulation? I typically ovulate between CD20-25 so I’m sure I haven’t ovulated yet. Any thoughts?

Negative at 8dpo, chart looks bonkers to me this cycle, first cycle after CP and taking PdG suppositories. Please some insight in spiraling, especially with E3G trending down 😭

10-12 DPO, worried that FRER isn’t getting darker + negative digital. Thoughts?

Top is 2 days ago, middle is yesterday, bottom is today. All FMU. Should I be guarding my heart? I used inito this cycle for the first time and started testing mid cycle + I have longer than normal cycle lengths. If I went by initos prediction I’d be 13dpo assuming I ovulated on CD20, which is waaaaay early for me. My best guess is that I ovulated on CD 24/25. I’m also very weepy today which is making me even more nervous. Looking for similar experiences please.

Etsy is ignoring a creator with 45,000+ sales who had 25 of their crochet patterns copyright claimed- which Etsy has now taken down. What does she need to do?

She has gone through every possible avenue to try to contact Etsy. I just want to help 😭

Teaching my husband how to crochet and this is just some of what he’s come up with. They all have names and backstories.

My husband is one of those people who just picks things up insanely fast, I really didn’t expect him to go this far off the rails though. He surprises me with them!

Help understanding chart (especially super high E3G and high rising PDG)

I tend to ovulate a bit late and I’ve only ever used cheapie OPK’s until I got inito and started using it for the first time this cycle. I got notified that ovulation was confirmed on the 21st which would be a big surprise to me because typically I have my LH spike around CD 24-26. I’m just interested in how high these values are and what could cause that?

Super weird progression and “ovulation confirmed”? Or am I just reading it wrong

My LH has been consistently super low, but my E3G alerted the app that I ovulated? What are the odds I actually did? I just feel like this doesn’t look like the standard “I ovulated” chart to me.

u/brittanypdeluca — 3 months ago

I can’t take any credit, I inherited my grandmas nails and I just don’t cut them 🥴

No products or anything used, I just cut them when they start to look kind of absurdly long (I’m almost to that point). I know that they’re kind of yellowish but I don’t mind too much 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am known by many people as the “one who gives really good head scratchies” so I feel good about that lol

u/brittanypdeluca — 4 months ago

Husband and I are so tired tonight but we don’t want to miss our chance, based off of my OPK’s from today should we push through? We BD yesterday so I’m not sure

We had sex last night so I know that works in our favor but we both really don’t want to miss our chance :( are we good to postpone until tomorrow?

u/brittanypdeluca — 4 months ago

I had to make this very quickly so that my husband couldn’t see it (didn’t want to spoil), but this came to me while we were talking about cereal

u/brittanypdeluca — 4 months ago

Got my period, way more sad than I thought I would be. Waffles, vanilla bean ice cream, and blueberries.

My husband and I have a beautiful 4 1/2 year old daughter and decided we wanted to try for another baby about a month ago. I had to go through fertility treatment to get pregnant with our daughter and I really didn’t want to have to do it again. I missed out on so much. There was no way to surprise my husband because it was all out in the open in all of the appointments we had. I never got to get excited over a second line. I’m just sad. I don’t know why I assumed it would happen the first time we tried, we both just genuinely got so excited just at the idea. The reality just hit me that I might have just as hard if not harder of a time with conceiving this time around. I’d love to hear some similar experiences

OPK Pregmate, CD 25- so confused???

According to my tracking/apps I ovulated on May 4th, but my “potential” fertile window lasted from April 24th through May 9th because I have irregular periods. I took an ovulation test on the 7th that looked almost positive so I was a little confused, but we just tried that night too in case my app was wrong. Well today I just took this ovulation test and it’s just as if not more positive than the one on the 7th??? I’m so confused. Can anyone help me understand what’s going on?
