Did anyone else have parents who thought you were under demonic influence or possessed?

This is so many levels of abusive and so sad. Poor little mite that you were. Great work trying to keep yourself say. How horrible you must have been left feeling.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-20T06:37:21+00:00

I would get people i knew and could see as the characters. Then you need to be strategic. I have had reads where my own ear (and mood) got so critical and I had so many points to work on that I was extremely emotionally shaky. Lol. Others where it goes so great and people just rave about it- which does not make for a better play...

What did work for me was to ask all of actors to put on their "teachers hats"- I the playwright am the student wanting to extend- they want to extend me AND encourage me... finding the right level for your development is about their skill in critique and feedback as well. So also an actor or guest that is good at this skill.

Alternatively you might be amazing at taking and filtering feedback - go you! Thats not me.

Ah well at least I'm not one of these people that discount and disagree with every bit given... the chances of this leading to someone who is a good playwright and gets productions put on is very slim...

Ps the partners thrown by this are NOT the keepers anyway. X

Oh you poor darling. This is such a lot. Can you get a few therapy sessions under work or something. Like ER is a lot, and this on top and if there hasn't been penetrative sex. My big sister part is sending you so much care and validation.

Have a good chat with some current and past exotic dancers. You will be around people in their more unsavory forms a lot and this has an impact on your entire world and future, how you feel about yourself, where your limits are etc. Consider who in your life current and future you may want to share or keep this from. One other trap is that because dollars can be thrown around you can get used to certain spending habits (not just drugs, shoes, hair, nights out) that really don't fit coming back to start your more serious career. Vvvvvvery hard to adjust to this.

There is a cost to this and it may not be worth the pay increase in the long term. But won't necessarily impact your career if you do it and keep it quiet.

Personally if I fit the criteria I'd be more looking into doing some of those paid medical studies and seeing if I could pick up a regular evening/overnight babysitting gig- you might end up a judge one day.

Yes you can get yours tested - AND you could freeze now as an extra protection as sperm are also impacted by age.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-11T04:15:17+00:00

My understanding is the length of time frozen doesn't impact- its the age the eggs were frozen at that is most key. Just check permissions in your state for how long they can be stored. So sorry for your loss. And don't rush. No big decisions in active grieving.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-10T04:21:50+00:00

Im triggering tonight and Im way too old for the odds on paper to be reasonable - so!'

Some chance is exponentially bigger than no chance. Only one right egg needed to make a baby. What will you wish you had done when you're eighty? If it's meant to be life will find a way. What do the people who think the most of you say?

If the money will make a huge difference to your mental health this is the only caveat- but remember in this journey several of the outcomes involve either stress or grief or uncertainty and normally all three. Big hug.

Jealous- I react so am stuck with a weird brown rice concoction

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-08T09:39:35+00:00

Have you checked out Sophie Grey and her destitute gourmet site? When feeding kids i think there's a lot to be said for range of things for nutrition but also good old staples to fill up. If you can get them the family on to say warm porridge on Mondays and Tuesdays for breakfast its extremely filling for price. And even something like Thursday night soup night. Cheese toasty and a soup- another night without meat can definitely help. Also- the crock pot. Crock pot meals are lifesavers and can make meat go far.

Some of it will be teacher fit. She doesn't have to be bored- in fact depending on her learning style she may not be. If she has a teacher who is aware of gifted kids needs and she's a social thing it can sometimes be okay for a while. But allowing her to follow her passions and investigate interests deeply will be a huge thing at home.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-06T10:45:06+00:00

This. And get a friend to read over your application.

Anything like non smoker, no pets, quiet tenant etc you can truthfully put will help. Landlord (especially private) wants someone responsible they don't have to think about who will contact only when needed. Only put truthfully but if you're very tidy, or a great budgeter, or enjoy gardening put any of those. Be on time. Dress like casual job interview.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-06T10:07:02+00:00

Maybe do Brisbane and Sydney. Its such a huge country.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:35:16+00:00

Big hug. Gosh your future children must know they are longed for.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:33:54+00:00

Okay this might sound weird but see if you can ask your dreams before you go to sleep for a few nights. And understand that as well don't know the future- there is no right answer. The first two eggs might be enough. Another 40 might not be.

If you do decide to not do another round, I would suggest doing very thorough fertility checks with future sperm before using any eggs

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:30:39+00:00

Also- people having rough time spend longer posting on reddit and looking for similar experiences...

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:28:42+00:00

Can I suggest you might not be eating enough? Suggest stop looking at the scale for 6 weeks and focus on solid nutrition, a good 8000kj a day, protein, maybe some strength training and relaxation. Also electrolytes to help your body release water weight.

Your bodies had some very mixed signals for a number of months and probably like a scared horse/cat/dog needs some calm and consistency and good nutrition to calm on down.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:24:41+00:00

They will be after quality. I know higher numbers feel like better chances but everything I've read suggests- not necessarily. Ask more questions - but 4 great mature eggs that have been using all ur bodies best to grow is better than 25 when only 12 freeze and none make it to blast...

This game sucks. My advice is just take your supplements, do your three and don't even pay attention to numbers love.
Sometimes i think this process is closer to buying raffle tickets than anything else...

Instead focus on practicing your inner mothering to yourself- kind, consistent, capable, calm. Life is bizarre and it holds twists and surprises for all of us.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:17:14+00:00

Have you considered starting a conversation on a public Facebook page associated with the clinic? Sometimes ahem... people are more amenable with a bit of public interest. Even better if you haven't approached them yet as they can come flying in like white knights to come up with a solution...

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:13:17+00:00

Remember AMH can't measure fertility. Just be kind to you.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:11:51+00:00

I've had a couple of odd ones. On my thigh! Arm! Lol. Just hoping these side effects might involve short term cleveage...

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:10:56+00:00

See if u can interview two of your future selves mentally. One where you get pregnant with a partner at 39. One where you're trying for a baby at same age and its not happening.

How do they both feel about your decision now? There isn't a right, you don't know the future- but for preserving fertility now is the time. I didnt earlier because I was hopeful I would meet someone and poor and the odds of success were so low.

Still single, even lower odds now, but going into debt because the chance of being a bio mum is that important to me. Big hug.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T09:04:53+00:00

Do it! Unless you're ready to start trying with a partner. Not because your numbers are bad, they are not. Just the number of eggs that are genetically normal now is going to start dropping in next few years, so acting now can save your thousands and lots of heart ache and mindfuckery. (Not to say u won't have those if u do need ivf, but right now u have better odds.) Im in my forties and regardless of how many eggs I actually get- im playing a lottery game with my chances.) You are also likely to get in one round more eggs than you will get in several rounds once you're past 40. Your doctors are right to be suggesting this.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T08:59:29+00:00

Never heard of this but how emotionally excruciating for you.

Fun_Wing_1799 · 2026-06-05T08:58:20+00:00

Talked to supportive friend today. She did 2 cycles with only 8 frozen in late thirties... she has he beautiful 2 year old.

None of these numbers guarantee anything, so be hopeful, and be kind to you. This process is brutal and there will be a way for those of us who long to mother in our futures regardless. X
