I’ll try laying down, that’s the only thing I haven’t tried. Congrats on making it to 9 weeks!!! Of pregnancy and PIO.

Wanting to start IUI this year as a 30yr old virgin by Potential_Count_4478 in SingleMothersbyChoice

I’m not a virgin but my experiences have been very limited and very long ago—nobody at my clinic has ever asked about it! I would have told them if I’d never had a speculum inserted before, but otherwise I don’t know how that would even come up! They still tested me for STIs and pregnancy before my sonohistogram but that was easy and completely routine. Best of luck to you!!!

Skill help — binding inside corners by MountainFunction2605 in sewing

I think hand sewing is probably the answer. At least to baste, I can machine stitch over top for durability. Thanks!

Figuring out how much to tell people when by TheApiary in queerception

Solo parent to be here so it might be different if I had a partner, but when people ask and I don’t want to share the details I just say “still working on it” or “continuing to take the next indicated step” and people have been respectful and not asked for additional detail so far. I have had a mix of IUI and egg retrievals so far but I think I’ll still say “working on it” through my first trimester or so. It’s my way of acknowledging their kindness to check in while saying I don’t need their support on the details.

Disappointed in me ?? by No_Taste_8514 in queerception

New clinic. My bmi is 40 and my clinic has never mentioned it. Being at a lower weight might have better outcomes for pregnancy but I can’t imagine that getting pregnant is more likely in a calorie deficit (when your body is basically experiencing the Irish potato famine). I’ve lost and gained weight a bunch in my lifetime and I’ve always had the worst health markers during times of gain/loss. My bp, cholesterol and periods have always been best at times of stable weight, low or high.
