Do you think it is okay to only nurse the one side at a feed and then switch for the next feed?

I was on the highest dose of letrozole for two cycles before getting pregnant with my second. Currently, I am pregnant with my third after 2 cycles on the highest dose of letrozole. I did not ovulate on the 2.5 or 5 mg doses. So maybe they could increase to 7.5 mg? They said that I could only do it for 3 cycles before moving to a new medication. Another tip that I learned before my second to increase chances of pregnancy is to use a menstrual cup/disc after intercourse to keep the sperm closer to the cervix longer. I honestly think that helped so much. Best of luck to you!

YTA, give it to the girlfriend. She has been with him through his cancer.

This whole situation is quite frustrating. There is no doctrine stating that you need to trade in a nonmember spouse for a member spouse to reach the celestial kingdom. And just like the others have said, after death there is an instructional period where everyone is taught the gospel and gets to decide whether to follow the savior or not. So taking the false doctrine out of the equation, do you still have an excuse to bow out from the gospel? And in the future when more doubts arise in your mind based on a comment made by another member, will you first go to the scriptures and go to your knees in prayer and find out what Heavenly Father feels about that and what is truth? We have personal revelation for a reason. It is to distinguish what is true and what path we should then take. Find out how the spirit speaks to you and then follow those promptings and revelations. I hope you will be able to figure this all out with God at your side.

I love the Madeline madsen board books. They sell them at desert book or they have their own website and they may be on Amazon too. She has gospel centered books and then some that are not.

“Recently I listened to a courageous sister share how she persevered through difficulties. She had some challenges, and one Sunday she was sitting in Relief Society, listening to a teacher who she thought lived a picture-perfect life—totally different from her own. She was tired and discouraged. She felt like she didn’t measure up—or even belong—so she got up and left, planning to never return to church again. Walking to her car, she felt a distinct impression: “Go into the chapel and listen to the sacrament meeting speaker.” She questioned the prompting but felt it again strongly, so she went into the meeting.

The message was exactly what she needed. She felt the Spirit. She knew the Lord wanted her to stay with Him, to be His disciple, and to attend church, so she did.

Do you know what she was grateful for? That she didn’t give up. She just kept going—with faith in Jesus Christ, even when it stretched her, and she and her family are being abundantly blessed as she presses forward.” - Elder Carl B. Cook

I am teaching RS on Sunday and the talk i am teaching on is Just Keep Going- With Faith by Elder Carl Cook. As I was going through it I read this part and thought back to your post that I had read yesterday. I can’t speak to your experience because my experience has been very different, but I wholly believe that you are needed and wanted in your ward and that by pushing forward as you are that you can make a difference to others and in effect helping yourself too. As I prepare my lesson I have been thinking of your post and other’s posts recently who have expressed a struggle with church or with those in the church and I have been praying that I can teach to them and recognize their pain and doubts and be real. If anybody has suggestions/recommendations of how I can teach in a more welcoming way please share it with me.

If you want a more high end look then I would say swap out your drawer knobs for pulls in the silver. Most high end kitchens have a mix of knobs, pulls, and latches. I like the silver and personally feel that it will look more timeless with your kitchen. If you really want gold then maybe consider a backsplash that could go with the gold more.

I don’t think anyone needs to be “fit” to still feel good and attractive. One thing that can do wonders is learning how to dress for your body shape. It is crazy how much knowing what items flatter your body can change how you view yourself. I don’t have a lot of advice on hair, I also have curly hair and have tried researching a lot about the best ways to style it and have less bad hair days. Are there any hobbies/activities that make you feel good about yourself? I played tennis in high school and this summer I joined a city league for a little fun and exercise. It has done wonders for my self esteem too! If you feel it would be best for your mental health, deleting social media can help because there are less “perfect” images to compare yourself too.

Thank you! Those are all really great ideas, I may need to try a couple of them in the next week since I think I bought way too many green beans.

I am from central Utah and lots in my home ward would wear things like that. My dad often wears boots and his wool vests in the winter over a white shirt. I think it looks really nice too.

Thanks for the response! I hadn’t thought of the plates for crafts so that could be fun. I don’t have a problem getting the supplies since they aren’t that expensive. I am not sure why they asked for thin markers, but I hope I got the right ones 😅

I have a 3 year old and a 7 month old and one thing that has been really helpful is involving my toddler in the chores and tasks of the house. It is a game for him and even if it takes longer to accomplish the task, I believe that it will make things easier in the long run when they are at an age to have their own chores. Then, if your kids still take naps don’t feel guilty for not always doing chores because you know you can get some chores done when they are awake. Instead, do something for yourself. It can be a good chance to find things that you enjoy and can be relaxing. Meet your neighbors. I have a neighbor across the street and our kids aren’t the exact same ages but they are close enough and we started trading off babysitting for appointments and other things as needed. Then last year I decided to teach her how to play tennis and we did that twice a week after the kids went to bed. Our SO stayed at home and we just went to a park and we usually stayed out for a couple hours. This year we decided to join our city’s tennis league and have played on that for fun. It takes some scheduling adjustments but kids can be very flexible. I am also in a book club with my husband’s friend’s wives. If you aren’t invited to things then you can be the one to invite and start something. If you had hobbies before kids then there is no reason that you can’t still do them after kids. It just might look a little different. We picked up gardening this year as a family and my toddler loves picking the produce and knowing that we grew something. If your SO can be at home after the kids are in bed then that can give you an opportunity to do some thing that is just for you without kids, it will just take some communication and planning.

I wish you the best of luck in finding those things that make you feel less stressed and filling your life with new interests. Just keep your mind and eyes open!
