BOOST!

Oh wouldn’t this be tragic if word of this spread out everywhere possible?

Oh no…my hand slipped…

Remember if you live somewhere where this is an option you need, you need to be keeping a healthy stock of pregnancy tests and using them regularly to catch the pregnancy early enough. It is incredibly common for people to only find out well past 10 weeks. Of course that can be expensive so look for the paper strip type that doctors use, not the bulky plastic types typically advertised for home use if you can. And dont fall for marketing gimmicks with pregnancy tests, they all work about the same, you don’t need a digital screen and if in doubt do another test tomorrow.

(Also do your test first thing when you wake up for best results)

I would HATE for anyone in Texas to ACCIDENTALLY read this…

The dollar store carries pregnancy tests and they’re just as accurate as the ones from the pharmacy, fyi

Having worked in a doctor’s office, can confirm we just used cheap plastic OTC pregnancy tests and the dollar tree has them sometimes for $1. As a further reminder– (loosely) once the sperm hits the egg and you become “officially pregnant”, pregnancy is calculated by going back to the date of your LAST period. So if the date of your conception is March 29, but you got off your period March 01, congrats! You’re now 1 month/4 weeks pregnant. That’s how pregnancy is calculated. And you absolutely cannot find out the day you conceived that you’re pregnant, because it takes at least 2 weeks before your body makes enough HCG to be perceived by a pregnancy test– so that’s another two weeks. Which means you could have sex, become pregnant, wait the two weeks to test, and be ‘six weeks’ pregnant. That’s right– if you do everything right, and find out you’re pregnant literally as SOON as possible, you can already be 6 weeks pregnant. “The Texas Heartbeat Act prohibits abortion when there is a detectable heartbeat, which may be as early as 6 weeks into a woman’s pregnancy.” This is why this act is genuinely evil. You could be ‘two weeks out from the date you had the sex that got you pregnant’ and be 6 weeks pregnant. It’s not likely, but it’s incredibly possible. If you miss a period, it hurts NOTHING to check immediately. Don’t wait. Waiting a single month after your missed period to test could mean you’re suddenly 10 weeks pregnant– or more.

Actually, hang on, I want to talk more–

I went to the aidaccess website. For some states, they can mail the medicine to you directly without a prescription. For others, they’ll do an online consult with a doctor to prescribe and then mail you the medicine.

The cost can be from $110-150.

When you first start the consult, you see this.

We want to look at the second option. Because these are shipped internationally, and as sited on the website due to covid delays, the medicine takes three to four weeks to reach you.

If you find out you are pregnant at six weeks, you must order immediately in order to do a pill abortion at home under the ten week window. However, it gives you the option to buy in advance. Both mifepristone and misoprostol tablets usually carry a 2-year shelf life. The price isn’t THAT much higher than Plan B.

I researched that on my own– the shelf life thing– but was incredibly pleased to see the aidaccess website got into it as well.

[Image text:  Advance provision 1. If you live in a place with a very restrictive abortion law, it can be helpful to have the medicines for a medical abortion in advance case of a future unwanted pregnancy.  In this case you should contact us again immediately when you find out that you are pregnant so that we can give you the proper guidance. Please check the expiration date when you received the medicines (most can be kept up to 2 years after receiving the package as long as they are kept at room temperature and in their original and undamaged blister packs. It is likely that they can be kept for even longer but their effectiveness cannot be guaranteed after that point. 

2.If you want the medicines because you had unprotected sex less than 5 days ago, you can still use emergency contraceptives!]

The aidacess website walks you through EVERY PART OF THIS.

If you have $150 to spare, this is potentially live-saving medication. If your current plan is to drive out of state, stay for three days at a hotel to maybe get an in-person abortion after listening to a heartbeat etc, please consider that cost versus this cost. It has a shelf life of two years. I’m considering buying some right now.

I am incredibly moved to know this option exists and am currently about to share it with every social media site I can.

I need a fic, where Gabriel's cheating on Emilie and Emilie's cheating on Gabriel, but they're both cheating on each other with Nathalie.

Saving this idea for no reason in particular.

Tianba0380 Eyes

For those of you who don’t know Tianba0380′s work, they’re an amazingly talented eye maker from China.  They don’t really share a lot of information when they post eyes on Instagram. They generally don’t say, what size you’re looking at, what doll they eyes are in, very few say what color  you’re looking at, how much they cost, or how to order.  I snagged 3 pairs of custom order eyes through BJDivas, at the time they were $75, and the pre-order after, they were raised to $80.  The really challenging thing is, when you order custom, you’re allowed TWO WORDS to describe color. JUST TWO, in addition you can specify, glitter, no glitter, natural, fantasy, but for the most part it’s like throwing a dart in the dark knowing you’ll get something beautiful but you have no clue what it will look like

.  So I’m going to talk about this order.  

A lot.

The eyes are GORGEOUS in person.  CRAZY GORGEOUS. And BJDiva’s were very helpful and patient when I had a lot of questions.  Please forgive my shit photos when you get to them.  But first, I’m going to share Tianba0830′s photos to represent what I hoped for next to what I got. If you don’t care about my rambles on expectations, please skip to where I post my own photos to save time ;)

Left is hope, right is what I got. (I could have sworn I put the words in the same order but totally didn’t.)  I really wanted to say, green, yellow, brown, but since you only get two color words, I risked it.  They’re so pretty but I was really disappointed in the lack of yellow, and when a preorder came before my order, I may have ordered another pair like some kind of insane nutter (this new request is for “Autumn” we’ll see where that gets me) but in person they’re pretty magnificent.  I didn’t think they would stand out enough in my dark Dollshe girl, but it actually looks really good, soooo I guess I’ll see which pair of eyes I keep in like 3 or so months when the next ones come.

Again left is what I was aiming for, right is what I got.  I love the left ones, but I also love what I got  so I think it’s a win.  I’m hoping to put them in Thea, but her stupid heads with their two different ‘recommended’ eye sizes haven’t arrived yet.  I hope they fit.  Please let them fit!!

This last one I’m just posting what I got because there were like 4 different yellow and blue eyes Tianba0830 made that inspired me to order this color combo.  They look nothing like any of the others but I LOVE them. Here are my pics and the more useful commentary.

Small Iris eyes are not joking, they are very small.

Green Hazel

Yellow Blue

Green Yellow

12mm are pretty close in size. 

I think 16mm small iris has a hair smaller iris than Kanis Augen 12mm but it’s hard to be sure without measuring.

The 12mm and 14mm have stalks

16mm do not- and they’re really hard to position.

Different sizes in Impldoll Aries. I swear when I bought him his specs said 16mm eyes (it now says 12mm-14mm).  His eye wells seem designed to comfortably fit 16mm, but he looks better with smaller eyes. 12mm are too small for his eye wells and gap but are a decent iris size.

This size looks good, but I had a hell of a time positioning them, the domes aren’t super high but paired with the flat backs it’s hard to avoid gaps and uneven positioning.

I can’t tell if I absolutely love this or if they’re a little small for him.  The fit is great and I think I like it better than the 14mm Kanis Augen eyes I’ve been using. I may have gone insane here too and ordered one size up in yellow blue as well because I love them so much and if they didn’t fit I was going to need another pair, and that’s one of the many reasons I’m broke as shit right now. So ah, be on the lookout in 3 to 4 months for a potential eye sale. I think he would look goatier with slightly larger eyes, but I think these make him look realistic and like his eyes match the maturity of his face…Also I seem to be going through a phase where I absolutely hate the large doe-eyed irises look in my dolls- especially in mature man dolls and am leaning hard away from it.

Adding some photos of my 2nd Tianba0380 order.

They were hastily ordered before the first set arrived, but the first set ended up being pretty perfect so now I don’t know what to do with these XD

It is really hard to predict what your custom color will end up looking like. In the above post I have 14mm small iris Yellow Blue.  Below are 16mm small iris Yellow Blue and 12mm Autumn.

Both Yellow Blue  are so  beautiful but look nothing at all alike.  I really wanted Autumn to be green, yellow and brown, but instead just got a pretty brown

I wanted to share too that it looks like she’s working toward a more universal style eye back.  Both sizes now have the same style handy positioning stalk.
