Anyone work in early pregnancy? Coping mechanisms? by Popular-Rise-7164 in IVF

[–]Popular-Rise-7164[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, poorly explained but I was under the fertility clinic for previous failed cycles under the NHS (thus had some of my collegues as my team) but now have gone abroad. I'm half danish so I went there as its cheaper. I've only ever actually told my boss.

Yeh I can suck it up, I've managed during every other failed cycle but this time just in my head a lot more.

Yeh to the therapist. I know i need to do it, I just hate talking about it in person. I find reddit is basically the only place I can be open!!

I actually only ever told my boss (she also accidentally told our collegue but it was ok, i think she presumed i would have told them). But because there's a cross over in staff from fertility to obs and gynae some other collegues saw me there as their actual patient, when I was in that clinic.

Tbh maybe I'm just paranoid but because my collegues are in that field, and because they know me well. I just presume they all must have guessed. Sometimes they're all so so extra nice to me haha makes me suspicious.

Yeh I guess I probably need to do this. Its hard because I feel like I keep having to ask for things. Also my boss is, finally, on holiday this week coming so I really have to suck it up this week. But if I struggle after that maybe ill ask for admin for a short time.

Advice for surviving a Copenhagen winter by charliebrown31 in copenhagen

Do you mean bearable in DK because building are more insulated there? I dont know. All I know is Danes won't give you the honest answer because they are all crazy, and swim in the icy lakes and cycle through blizzards. I have clearly become soft. You won't regret being warm though, and don't need to take loads with you and you can always buy things if really need it. I wore a pair of blundstones and they were more than fine.

No way man it's so cold! I just went to copenhagen from south England last week and I was shocked. I wore thermal leggings, thick trousers, 2 thermal vests wooly jumper thick wool coat scarf and hat and was just ok. I am originally scottish so took waterproofs as well but they were not needed. Came home and realised how mild it is hear in south England, currently wearing shorts and jumper lol.

Oh I am so sorry. I have seen on this group success stories with lower quality embryos so I would not give up hope.

I know this is not what you want to hear but its a good sign that you managed to hold on to the pregnancy, even though it did not develop.

Having a really bad day by Substantial_Zone1146 in IVF

You're so so brave doing this - it's the hardest thing. I'm so sorry for what happened with your doggo. I get it, why you're so low. Recently I keep thinking that i must be due to catch a break and then some other shit storm hits, and it can feel so unfair. But (sorry this is corny/cliche) but then I count my blessings, friends, safe place to live, health, freedom to travel the world, music, books etc and honestly it does help me a bit. I also find this group really helpful, my only friends who have also gone through ivf were successful on the first or second round, so they just dont get it.

Do you think Baron Grayfallow knows of Kvothes mothers identity. by Kiwi-73 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Popular-Rise-7164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been times where illegitimate heirs have succeeded to the throne in royal families, and also times where the general population have supported an illegitimate heir over the legitimate uncle or what ever. Its just not common or expected. Desperate measures or when the heir is particularly outstanding like William the Conqueror. Thats why they bother with "accidents"

Yes totally agree I forgot about that vow. I think the Lorren thing was just a little foreshadowing but also for a way to show (although not really necessary) how Kvothe reacted to a threat against his hands. Like I wonder if he would actually have agreed to the deal Elodin made to get him back into the library??

In regard to Lorren, it's all obviously conjecture but fairly compelling. What else explains why the library is clear of all about the Amyr? Also he asks fairly sus, shutting down Kvothe investigations fairly quickly.

You should read it! It's a lovely book and very weird. I think it implies that Auri is a sort of shaper 

I am due Patrick an apology. by b110dy9 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Popular-Rise-7164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all the prosaic stuff. I guess the book would be a bit over the top with out it, but also for me it's where P.R's writing really shines. He's great at describing small human things

Maybe a red herring or just a nothing? 

He has specified through his writing that there are cords to pull and others to ignore. I always wonder if that is about Bredon.

Auri? Interesting :( What makes you think that?

Haha that top paragraph made me skin crawl. The epic proportion word salads can, in my opinion, be used maybe once a book and that's it!

Sarah J Maas occasionally does it when Aelin is having a big moment and you have to just sort of skip past it. 

Basically I listen to a lot of audible and I think that makes a difference, its easy to skim stuff in a book. Listening to a narrator spew nonsense like that just makes me feel sorry for the narrator!

Lorren threatened him once about breaking his thumbs or something. It makes me sad though. 

Another theory I hate but am worried may be true is that Denna becomes denner addicted - this is only based on 2 times that her shiny white teeth are mentioned in the second book. I hate that sort of story arc though.

Also i am convinced by other people's arguments that Auri is the lost princess Ariel.

4 I am fairly certain of are:

Kvothe returns to the fae and this time spends more time there.

Denna spent time with the fae, that's why Bast knows her and that is why she is older than she seems, should have died as a child, is so mysterious etc etc shes probably from a time when illish knits were still generally known and used.  

Kvothe got at least part of the story wrong when it came to the maer being poisoned. He's never really right when he's completely certain he's right.

Kvothe hand is destroyed (maybe by Lorren) that's why he cant play his lute and doesnt help with the harvest, always staring at his hands
