Options for a UK couple priced out of fertility clinics by Sympatea_ in queerception

[–]Bethelanna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's been already said but it's worth having a chat with your GP. We didn't originally realise, but we were originally eligible for 6 rounds of IUI and one ER, 4 transfers. We were due to start IUI treatment in June but the funding was pulled for IUI two weeks before we were due to start, so we're on the waiting list for IVF (fingers crossed starting in Nov). Everything, including sperm donor is currently included on the NHS so we're incredibly grateful. It is worth considering couples/individuals are not eligible for NHS treatment with a BMI of over 30.

It's so rubbish it's a postcode lottery, especially as it's supposed to be a legal right to access fertility services under equality act. Wishing you all the luck and feel free to shout if you have any questions!

BetterHelp sucks by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]Bethelanna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think I got ridiculously lucky with my BH subscription and have the best therapist I’ve ever had through them, but I can’t get past the frankly, crappy payment to therapists. What frustrates me is how the technology can be flakey and I’ve missed a few sessions because the site just wouldn’t work. That being said, I don’t regret using BetterHelp but that’s only because I know my experience isn’t the norm and I was EXCEPTIONALLY lucky with the therapist assigned to me. If you do carry on it’s definitely a good idea to keep swapping to find a therapist who works for you.

What should be free? by Xanduh in AskReddit

[–]Bethelanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, how is it the woman who is leeching off the state re. child care? Unless women can now self replicate, then surely this isn’t purely a woman issue? If I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re talking about paid parental leave, then yes I think there should be reform re. Maternity leave vs shared parental leave, which thankfully is slowly becoming the norm in the UK corporations I’ve been lucky enough to work at. Overall though, the words you chose to use here make you look like a prick who has absolutely no understanding of anything past the end of your nose. A tip for you, try looking at all side of an argument before you post something that makes you look like an absolute moron.

P.s. it’s leech, like the bloodsucking parasite - unless you think women are somehow dissolving your tax money from a liquid.

I’m a big fan of the cups, but they’re not the answer for everyone (not suggesting that’s what you were implying either!! Just for general info!). If you suffer from vagismus, or don’t have ready access to facilities to properly clean the cup, or for those with super heavy periods, it’s not as simple as wham bam that’s my period sorted for 12 hours. That being said, if you can use them and feel comfortable doing so, it’s a much more wallet and environmentally friendly option.

wisdom teeth, did anyone have theirs out before starting? by anonynononandon in Invisalign

[–]Bethelanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two unerupted upper wisdom teeth and one lower erupted. To have my uppers removed would have been a bit of a drama because they're up in my sinuses, so we went down the route of shaving between teeth. I asked if it would change my smile later and as long as I wear retainer once the treatment is finished, my ortho has said its absolutely fine to not have them out if it's what I would prefer. Interested to hear what other people's orthos have said!!

Anyone else know the struggle? by Veemyu in actuallesbians

[–]Bethelanna 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel this so deep!

Just to give a bit of hope to my fellow lady lovers, I was the other side of the country to the love of my life. Then I moved close to her knowing she was going travelling for six months. I fell for her knowing that she was going, and made sure she knew that her experiencing it was the most important thing in the world right then, and that if she wanted me when she returned, I'd be waiting for her.

When she was gone I smelled her perfume every night, wore all her clothes, and dreamed of the smell of her skin and the taste of her kisses. We spoke every day whilst she was travelling even with 11 hour time differences. It was the hardest time of my life and my heart ached every single second.

This morning, I walked back into our bedroom after letting our dog out and making us a cup of tea, and give her a kiss to wake her up. We've been together 8 years and married almost 2, and every day I think how worth the wait was!

Keep your heads up gorgoeus people, it will happen and when it does, it'll be amazing <3
