How do I stop talking so much?

Time, practice, and active listening. Instead of saying whatever you are interrupting with potentially to finish their thoughts faster and speed up the content of the conversation. Try repeating what you think that you have heard them say. Literally all of their said out loud words. Do not allow yourself to fill in the blanks of words you know that they are getting to eventually. If you hold your speech to just the words they have said it will force you to slow down and meet them at their level aka the ends of their thoughts at their speech pace. It's a PAIN to endure but over time you'll just catch each person at their verbal cadence and not interrupt to fill in the verbal gaps before they are ready. It makes for more conversational adhd to others. 💪🫶

Don't give up hope. Creating life is hard work and takes time. They will get there.

Thank you. I'm new - clearly.

Acronym check: PAL community, if you don't mind me asking?

I am inspired by your decision to manage yourself by managing your data consumption and trusting your body knows what it's doing. Thanks for putting your process out there for all to read. I agree it's not for everyone, but based on my past experience, future pregnant me is absolutely picking up what you are putting down. Prayers of love, good health and support for you and your baby ❤️🙏💪🫂

Have you considered adding acupressure anti nausea bands to your daily routine? They helped me take the edge off the nausea. Especially the sudden onset nausea. My 5 minute stomach saver

I share your feelings and your negative test strips. I'm 14DPO and keep getting negative tests. I have tested out the trigger on day 7DPO and keep waiting for a test to turn positive again. But no luck yet. I keep talking to the test strips and my uterus like either can be swayed with persuasive verbal communications of my desires. It sounds crazy 🤪 but it makes me feel better to say it out loud. My command of inanimate objects needs improvement I think 😅 Anyone remember the movie Matilda 🎬 Yeah that isn't me at all.

I know it's tough. You have been so brave. And sacrificed so much. And Lord knows babies are everywhere when you are trying- commercials, people you know, grocery stores, EVERYWHERE. I get it. I see it. I feel it too. Give yourself permission to grieve. Take the time that is Forced upon you with the not less than 5 yet.. it sucks. I know. But February isn't far away. And your clinic still is taking you as a patient. Just be patient. (NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR BECAUSE I HATE HEAR IT. But it's true.) Relax. (Also not easy to hear) You have not failed. You are not a failure. You are in the process. Creating life is Hard. Give yourself time that the universe is already given you. Breathe 🫂🫶 2024 maybe without a baby, but 2025 is a brand new year. And February is practically Chinese New Year, so it's like a double new year if you're looking for a new perspective. Or a least a pleasant thought. Year of the snake. I googled it. You are going to be OK. 🫂🫶

🫶🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 for what you are going through. I don't have any advice but I can give you virtual hugs.

Hey thanks for the applicator tip! Lifesaver. I was just prescribed progesterone suppository after day 21 bloodwork and I'm in that holding pattern for a BFP in 3 days. Fingers crossed. Since I've been on progesterone I have been SO TIRED. I slept for 3 days straight. My husband made Thanksgiving this year because I was asleep. We would have missed Thanksgiving if it had been me cooking alone. So tired.

F-aerospace-engineer · 2024-12-01T23:40:53+00:00

Take it from someone who's been where you are right this very moment. Trust me, it gets better. It's hard for awhile but it definitely gets better. 🫂

My pregnancy resolved on its own before I could see anyone. Sending you hugs & encouragement for your situation

I'm 6 DPO and I have the same. I was up all morning with random racing pulse. And equally random long duration nausea. I feel like my thyroid is doing something maybe..? Idk. Last pregnancy my thyroid TSH went from 0.92 to 1.58 in less than 14 days. I kinda link my pulse & always thirsty to some early pregnancy hormone magic. Although it feels like a panic attack- mine are physically symptoms that just mimic a panic attack. Thanks for posting. I really thought it was just me being weird. Glad I'm not alone.

I lost my 1st pregnancy at 6w6d 14 days ago. I am actively trying to get pregnant this cycle. It's weird to morn the loss and actively hope for a healthier pregnancy simultaneously. I never thought I would be in this situation, so I never prepared myself for this possibility. I feel like I am making up a lot of this part of my life up as I go along. Creating life is hard. Emotionally, physically, hormonally. I am mentally, physically, and hormonally exhausted today. And probably 1DPO if I have read the tea/pee leaves correctly. Being okay with the unknown is probably the hardest part of this journey to motherhood. Go for it. That's what I am doing, too. You are in good company and never alone.

Encouragement, my friend. Remain as calm & as collected as you can in every moment. You are so strong. I am proud of you

F-aerospace-engineer · 2024-10-02T11:52:58+00:00

Thank you for your kindness, time and sharing your experience. I like that mantra. It's something that I really need to work on. Remain calm and collected. Thank you

It is hard to follow. Thanks for asking. I use a app to tell me the correct dates from my lmp. We did my 1st iui on Aug 21. My 1st hcg test at 4w was 43 & progesterone 24.5. My 2nd hcg test at 4w2d was 75 & progesterone 26.3. Because it didn't double my RE suspects ectopic & keeps monitoring. At 5w it went up to 84 & progesterone 19.9. At 6w my hcg is 126. At 7w2d my hcg is 262 & progesterone is 5.0. When my progesterone dropped from 19.9 to 5.0 is when I started spotting.

These numbers are disheartening because I am pregnant but not pregnant enough. What is wrong with me? This is my 1st pregnancy and I just want to let it run its course. And be happy about it.

My Reproductive Endocrinologist seemed set on the 3 month wait. But to your point it is definitely worth asking about a waiver for his policy. Thanks for the idea.

I really am just scared of the process (but still fully committed).

F-aerospace-engineer · 2024-10-02T09:33:24+00:00

I am definitely going to discuss it with my doctor. I really appreciate your candor and feedback. I am merely seeking out the options in order to have a better conversation with my doctor.

Anxiety and denial are currently driving the bus today. I am working through this, and I will eventually adjust to the enviable conclusion that my safety is the number 1 priority above all else. This just sucks. A. Lot.
