thanks!

idk how old they even are, and i'm only 30 but i prefer an older partner. some are still okay, but i feel like some of them seem like 20 year olds (sebastian, abigail, sam, haley).

does anyone else feel like that? i can see myself playing stardew still when im like 50 and i wont want any of these young ppl! LOL

honestly i just wish we could romance anyone, even the married people i wish we could be messy and split them up (maybe thats evil, idc)

i'm driving myself crazy waiting to talk to my doctor about my bloodwork results, but based on researching it seems like my FSH is on the higher end for my age, some websites say its high but still in the "normal" range (up to 10), others say its just a bit high and outside of normal.

i'm 30 years old, and my FSH is 9.7 on cycle day 3 test.

(edit) also my LH is 2.2, which based on my research a high fsh with lower lh means diminishing ovarian reserve.

i was dealing with irregular cycles over the last year or so. some really long cycles where it didn't seem like i ovualted at all.

initially had thyroid, testosterone and a1c tested - all normal. when looking into my cycle day 3 results, from what i'm seeing it could be a slightly diminished reserve. not looking for anyone to diagnose me or anything, just wondering if anyone else has gotten a similar result at this age and what it meant, if you could do anything, etc.

my last few cycles have been on the short side (both 20 days). i started taking myo-inositol a few months ago so not sure if that contributed. i dont know if the shorter cycles also mean diminished reserve or not.

i really wanted pumpkin peanut brittle candle which appears to be online exclusive USA only. i know it'll be pretty expensive, but the resellers on ebay are even more expensive for OLD candles. i also have a few friends in the usa who i could potentially send it to and they could ship it to me, but i'm sure it would cost more for them than a shipping service.

had anyone done a shipping service with candles? if so, how much did it end up costing you?

also do we know for sure the usa online exclusives that are currently out wont be coming to canada? i dont mind waiting but im scared to wait and see and then have it sell out on the usa site too.

listen, i know they aren't the MOST well written books ever, but something about the world building and characters has just captivated me ever since i first read them. i'll be doing another re-read in prep for the new book, but i'm really craving a series that will be the next acotar for me.

love a slow burn but i do want good SPICE eventually, but also a good plot not JUST spice. i love detailed and beautiful world building! love enemies to lovers but not a necessity, love lots of yearning and a slower build up. ideally want there to be fae but open to other fantasy races.

don't mind if its a multiple book series that is unfinished, but ideally hoping for at least 2-3 books out already!

i really love anything thrilling and also somewhat paranormal/ unexplained. An example of a book i LOVED was we used to live here by marcus kliewer. it was just the right amount of thrilling and interesting enough to keep me engaged in the story, but it also made me feel really spooky and uneasy while reading.

I really want to treat myself to a fantasy book sub box, but are any really good? I feel like I’ve heard some not so great feedback and issues with some so I’m a little hesitant to try. Please let me know which is the best!

I’m hoping for pretty editions of popular fantasy or romantasy books, and ideally with a few extras if they’re good! I don’t want a bunch of random junk though so if you have one that is great but doesn’t come with all the Knick knacks that’s fine too!

i know ideally just don't eat that stuff, and while i'm at home i have not been. i have a road trip coming up where all there will be to eat is either fast food on the road, or we will be eating at restaurants and its a pretty rural area where the only restaurants are pub type places/ diner food.

i had a terrible flare up recently (i went to the ER for it) and now i'm SO scared to go away. i'm already nervously thinking about what i'll even be able to eat.

i plan to bring tons of my own snacks, but wont have a fridge for the drive, and only a small fridge and microwave in the room so options are limited for bringing my own food as well.

It's my favourite fall scent, i bought it one year on a whim and fell in LOVE. the next year they didnt have it, and ive only seen it like one other year since then. I miss it!!

editing to specify: if anyone has info for canada specifically? i know its been back in the USA a few times but their website no longer ships to canada anymore!

i'm trying to figure out how to unlock the badlands. i have grove open, and i have the nexus to the junimo woods, my farm, the wizards house and the adventurers guild. i cant figure out how to trigger the next event.

I am using SVE, and i have Medieval stardew & expanded and love the aesthetic. i use daisy niko recolour right now which i love that too! but i'm looking for any mods that could go with those to give me cozy, autumnal or witchy vibes! open to anything - style, trees, gameplay mechanics. thank you!

i didn't go to the cavern before defeating bully rex in the highlands, he dropped the key and THEN i went to the cavern the next day. the cell is empty, but i never met the dwarf before. where does he go after? did i mess up by defeating bully rex before going to see the dwarf in the cavern first?

editing to add: i did enter the cavern before i defeated bully rex, but never saw the dwarf, i just killed a few monsters to get a seed and left that time

I really believe i have PCOS-mainly because of my symptoms of increasingly irregular periods, dark hair growth in areas like my chin, around my areola, and lower stomach "treasure trail" area, which i never had before! and i am overweight and have had a VERY hard time losing weight. (ive been trying pretty much all year, and have lost about 3 lbs total... which really seems more like just a fluctuation).

as for my periods: my cycle was usually quite regular, with a fluctuation of only a few days within the normal range. typically 21-25 days.

about 2 years ago i had my first irregular cycle, i basically "missed" a period (i don't think i ovulated) and my cycle was over 40 days. it was kind of a one off, the next period following that was mostly just spotting and EXTREMELY light, then it regulated again.
Then the next year, sam thing happened, 2 separate times. a very late cycle, followed by spotting the next, then back to normal for months at a time.

this year however, i think i've had 1 maybe 2 "normal" periods in terms of cycle length and flow. otherwise i'm currently on cycle day 63 if i don't count the 2 days of very light spotting i had in may as a period. i was spotting again very lightly last night, praying it was the start of a period but this morning it seems to be gone again. I use an oura ring to track my cycle and temperature, and it doesn't seem like i'm ovulating based on my temperature not maintaining a sustained rise.

I'm so stressed. i am scared i'm in perimenopause or something and missed my chance at ever having babies. i'd love to hear if anyone else had something similar, if it was in fact PCOS/PMOS and if you were able to regulate again? I'm only 30 so my doctor says perimenopause would be incredibly unlikely. my mom went into menopause kind of early, but even she was 40 something.

I want to add i have talked to my doctor, currently waiting to get bloodwork again, but my last labs were normal the only thing was my good cholesterol (HDL i believe?) was a little low, but bad was not high. i've had a pap that was normal, and an ultrasound that was normal, but a friend of of mine who is TTC was just diagnosed with PCOS with both of those normal as well. hers was discovered with an MRI that showed something with her follicles consistent with PCOS.

TLDR: my period is basically gone this year, i'm stressed and scared of perimenopause despite being only 30 and my doctor not thinking its that, and im scared i'll never regulate and be able to conceive.

I'm so confused on the sale, ive seen people say it opens to "the public" on the 15th, or 17th (today). but idk how the tiers work or why i wouldn't have been included in any tier when i have an account with them and have shopped with them every year, including this year i've spent about $4-500 (not the most, but not nothing!) so i am very confused about it all.

can anyone give a CLEAR answer on how it works?! it sounds like even employees dont know based on another post here.

i generally never read non-ficiton, but i'm trying to get out of my comfort zone. generally i like anything a little dark and mysterious, atmospheric, and i love in depth descriptions of settings. i love history, and i also like memoirs that are rich in story and descriptive. so i'm open to that too! Really any topic just preferably no self help thank you!

in the summer i love anything with sweltering heat, anything by (or on) the ocean, and i also love anything either western or in the deep south. just trying to give as much as i can to kind of get the "summer vibes" i'm looking for.

I switched to the mini size but not sure what to expect!! I love the little extra goodies that come in the boxes, so i'm hoping you still get all the stuff with the mini size!
