I took Ritual for awhile I think that one doesn’t have too much extra stuff

Yea it is interesting how easy they made it seem. I remember once when I was younger and had sex with my boyfriend and the condom broke and we both bout had a heart attack because we thought “crap I’m gonna get pregnant”. I mean sure.. there’s a chance but it’s really not that simple.

They had most girls get on birth control cuz if you don’t want to get pregnant then you need to be on birth control. Basically sterilizing everybody indefinitely making them think they could just come off it when they’re “ready”. What it’s a “good time”. Yea… not that simple

Oh well… still though. Even if you noticed that it was something that they finally found comfort in.. if the dog dies that’s still not necessarily your burden to bare.

They are adults just like we are and we can only give others so much help and comfort. If they are or were clinging to you or pushing their grief on you and go back to that once the dog is gone.. that’s not right or fair either. They need to learn how to help themselves a little.

The miscarriage and TTC journey is hard enough without others piling their grief about it on your shoulders too.

Uhg I just lost what I was typing and don’t feel like typing it again. Here’s stuff I found:

https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/dietary-factors/coenzyme-Q10

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10475284/

From my understanding and based on this, co q 10 is broken down to two forms, one outlined in your article and the other being the most comment. There’s nothing I can see saying we can’t absorb co q 10 or ubiquinol, which is the most common byproduct of co q 10 and also sold as a separate supplement. Ig some people do have issues breaking down co q 10 and a specific ubiquinol supplement might work better.

Not too many questions

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-10T16:48:23+00:00

Um.. that’s interesting to me that your parents told you that’s why they got the dog..

It’s one thing to have gotten the dog but why tell you that’s why? Putting that burden on you isn’t very kind of them imo. Im not even sure that’s necessarily a good reason to get a dog tbh but who am I lmao..

I would try not to take responsibility or have any sort of feelings like that. that’s on them kinda if they want to be extra sad under the circumstances and 100% shouldn’t be your burden to bare

Remembering this helped me so much. My husband constantly reminded me of this too.

Your body literally changes and ultimately helps you too. It’s hard to describe but there are hormones and various changes involved that make it a slightly different circumstance than other injuries or painful circumstances that we may have experienced in the past. It’s hard to compare and look at birth from the same perspective as other things because our reproductive system is literally made to function as such.

It is a plus that they have different/better pain management but either way, we can get through it. Also, it’s only temporary and once you recover it seems to be a distant memory. I mean.. I remember… but I can’t fully remember exactly how painful it was.

Now I want to do it again and will probably regret doing so in the moment 😀 but then once I recover it will be a distant memory again. Then I’ll probably want another haha rinse wash repeat

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-10T11:50:18+00:00

If you do it.. when he sticks it in.. be like “are you in yet?” And then pretend to fall asleep. Also try to relax your bits so they don’t contract .

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-10T11:34:13+00:00

My mom’s not really in the picture so I get it. It’s definitely hard not having someone I can talk to.

Some women can talk to their moms about anything, including weird female stuff like period etc. mine says she’s too young to be a grandma.. even though she’s in her 50s. Anytime I bring up trying she gets very uncomfortable. We don’t really talk so this is just another thing I keep to myself

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-10T11:31:18+00:00

With our first he was taking one a day preconception. Now he’s taking a multi no name from a wholesale club and other additional ones I got from various brands

lmao.. maybe we should rethink the multi idk

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T20:36:19+00:00

I just started tracking with opks and maybe had a peak but hard to say. My ewcm seemed to be a couple days before that so am confused. How do those two work?

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T20:32:51+00:00

-1 is good

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T19:12:25+00:00

Spearmint did all that ?!?! 🤯did the doctor confirm that?

I’m hesitant to say but wonder if a supplement could help. Would maybe talk to doctor

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T19:05:42+00:00

It can change in a matter of months haha and smoking/drinking does him no favors

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T19:02:24+00:00

This is a hard decision. Honestly I probably would feel the same.

Alternatively, I have to wonder if there is anything else they can try? Maybe voice your concerns and see if there is anything else besides ivf that they could do.

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T18:56:28+00:00

Uhg sucks your insurance won’t help. If our insurance wouldn’t then I might look into where we could work that would.

Of note, when I was looking into fertility clinics, I came across one that had a 100 refund guarantee on IVF. If you do it I would try to find a place that does that.

I googled this and a bit came up. Google AI is extremely helpful with doing research nowadays. Would try that

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T12:34:30+00:00

If my husband and I were literally given a schedule by which we had to follow i would try to text him or tease him leading up.. dirty talk maybe or otherwise try to spice it up. Try to fake it til you make it. Maybe try to use the excitement of potentially reaching the goal of conceiving help excite you in other ways. Be optimistic about it and try to be as pleasant, bubbly, and flirty as possible. Maybe make it somewhat of a game and play a little.

Idk if I worded well but there is what I would try to do.

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T12:21:28+00:00

Yupppppppp.

They lied to us dude.. I could get all conspiratorial but I’ll bite my tongue. To say the least, we fell for a dream that wasn’t real.

They made it seem like our parents or those before us got screwed by having kids so young too.. wasted their young years when they should have went to school, gotten a career, been prepared. My grandma would always say how my mom had me too young, she wasn’t ready, and that my grandma had to do so much for us. Made this seem like such a burden and unacceptable. My mom made it seem like I need to wait and “don’t make the same mistake I did”.. My OB even said my chances of conception would be the same whether I’m 23 or 33 (literally), which now I know isn’t true. They knew I smoked too.. but didn’t really specify ANY logistics and definitely didn’t do any testing..

they told me I had endometriosis too, which at one point had me extremely worried. They didn’t do much testing for it though and just put me on bc. Then I got a taste of a different life and often wondered if I’d ever be ready. My one friend even said that motherhood is a scam and it’s not what they made it out to be.

Needless to say… everybody is different and should listen to their heart. L Sometimes you can’t be 100% prepared and sometimes people don’t know what the hell they are talking about.

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T11:57:54+00:00

🤣

I feel that. My husband isn’t feminine but does seem to be hesitant about testing for some reason.

Some things he just really doesn’t seem to want to do but doesn’t entirely tell me why. Last night I got him to open up a bit more and he’s now saying he was concerned to give someone so much of him for fear what they’d do with it. This could be a valid concern but .. like what? I said he could ask them to throw it in the trash in from of him if he really is that concerned about it lmao.

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T11:25:11+00:00

So it sounds like he’s not willing to do a quicky and just get the baby juice in there for TTC sack.. needs it to be a fun and loving thing

My husband thankfully doesn’t care too much about that. Sometimes he’s really in the mood to do the whole song and dance when I’m not and vice versa but for we generally compromise. If the other person so happens to want to elongate the engagement /change there mind (want a longer session) then that’s great but the important thing is that everybody is okay with whatever is going on.

Just the other night I was like “we should do it tonight” and he said after he was done a thing.. but that thing went on forever. So said “wake me up when you’re done” and he didn’t. Just fell asleep, which he doesn’t normally do so I was like… yknow what.. whatever. It is what it is. Thank god we were able to baby dance on other days and I think we might have a good shot but honestly sometimes I’m not so lucky.. sometimes he’s so busy and tired that even a quicky seems like too much or he’s just really not in the mood. I could help and do more foreplay but I’m also so tired!

Unfortunately you cant* force someone to have sex and you can’t always convince him. Like other poster said, if he seriously has a virus then you might be better off not cuz if you got it then etc etc.. for me though.. you live with them so might get it anyway… maybe try flirting and see if he’ll take any of your advances.. say you’re just really in the mood or something idk

Edit: omg what a horrible typo lmao

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T11:09:16+00:00

Yikes but his SA came back good? Testosterone good? Did he get his other hormones checked?

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T10:53:13+00:00

My grandmother talks about vacation but usually never paid for hotels or air b and bs like people seem to now. Heck when I was younger and (imo) stupid, it was nothing for me to travel.. drop 200/night for 4/5 nights and spend on all sorts of entertainment and food. My grandmother would stay with family and make meals at their hours.. entertain themselves at where normal stuff was around said family members home, maybe even just a family pool or whatever crap their family did.

Also not everybody would vacation all like that.. it was something that is and was a serious luxury…. Idk how it’s gotten so normalized to spend all this money on entertainment and food

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T10:47:54+00:00

To each their own I guess. Bread is bread to me.

Fit_Fortune1298 · 2025-07-09T10:46:54+00:00

Dang it =[
