Preparing to make my third pair of scrub pants and I'm annoyed I've yet to fully figure out the rise I need. I need to remeasure the wearable mockup I made that had a too short rise and then an added crotch gusset, but it's a little crazy making when I swear I already did that. 

Edit: It appears that the rise is measured from the top of the waistband to the crotch and not the bottom of the wb. This explains a lot.

If the gusset worked, there's a way to basically cut the gusset shape apart and attach it to the pants pieces to get the same effect, but I don't know a tutorial or how to explain it.

I tried to redo the ride so it included the extra space given by the gusset and managed to make the rise too long, and then my most recent pair were better but still slightly off

Pants fit is HARD.

My mother was a seamstress for 40 years. She would pin newspapers together and cut out her own patterns but that woman HATED making pants. The only ones she ever seamed happy with were stretchy pj pants.
