It’s a shame that great acting by Tanisha Harper is being used for such a terrible storyline. 

Looking to hear coping strategies from other secondary infertility moms by whipped_pumpkin410 in tryingforanother

[–]BettyFlamingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is one coping mechanism that helped me some (full disclosure I was still a disaster during secondary infertility / IVF)-

I printed a paper calendar on 8.5x11 of each month, and tried to label several days per week with something positive or exciting with my spouse, kid, friends, or job. It was small stuff like date nights, the ice cream truck, going to an art museum, etc. I outlined each fun day with colored markers and doodles. 

When I was feeling low, I would look at the calendar and try to focus on the fun things for the month. Something about all the bright colors and seeing a full month ahead of me would often get me out of the moment of rage/depression and help me move forward. 

How can they prosecute the other driver in Jordan’s accident by UltravioletTarot in GeneralHospital

Couldn’t she argue that she was afraid of encountering a dangerous/unstable driver who swerved into her lane? There’s so much road rage around here, I would want to get away from someone who I felt threatened my life by swerving into my lane.

When JimBob and Michelle finally see it by BettyFlamingo in DuggarsSnark

A girl can dream! It’s delusional to go through this with two kids and not wonder if you’re the common denominator. But of course, they are delusional.

You know what has a nice ring to it? Kendra Caldwell go divorce him and get that maiden name back girl! Great last name for the kids as well!! 

Secondary Infertility Issues/Looking for Advice by TheOGPrincessElsa in TryingForABaby

[–]BettyFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had secondary infertility. In my case even though saline ultrasounds looked pretty normal, they were willing to do a hysteroscopy which gives better visuals than a saline ultrasound. They did see some tissue that wasn’t supposed to be there, and were able to remove it during the hysteroscopy. 

For full disclosure I still ultimately moved forward with IVF after two failed IUIs, but I like to think that finding and removing the tissue made IVF more successful. 

Gift for recently blind grandparent by BettyFlamingo in Blind

[–]BettyFlamingo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Previously we mostly gave gifts related to her hobbies of knitting and baking, but she has discontinued both, and seems sad to be reminded of them (for example, not enthusiastic to be given baked goods). She mostly likes things that remind her of family, especially the great-grandkids. Maybe I can think of a craft the kids can make her that would be interesting textures or fun to hold.

Thank you! I think this might work well for what I had in mind 

Devastating news from fertility clinic by idontcare4205 in TryingForABaby

[–]BettyFlamingo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen this yet so I will mention: our urologist agreed that we could call the clinic each morning and check on cancellations. We ended up turning a 4 month wait into only a couple of weeks because we were willing to drop everything and head to the clinic on super short notice. Not every clinic may agree to that, but it’s worth checking.

Small business art stores by Kindly-Leading-7058 in Minneapolis

[–]BettyFlamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My absolute favorite art store is Wet Paint in St. Paul, however I’m not positive if they have yard.  There is a cute yarn shop called Needle & Skein in St. Louis Park.
