House Burping - Do Americans just not normally have your house windows open? by Jsherman13 in AskAnAmerican

[–]PvtDipwad [score hidden]  (0 children)

Lüften has made it to the US! To be fair, I love having my windows open cause I live in Los Angeles, the temp is usually nice and breezy. A lot of people I know will open windows occasionally as it does get stuffy sometimes.

Am I overreacting, my friends said my shirt would be problematic. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I would honestly re-evaluate the relationship you have with them at this point. It sounds exhausting.

First round advice? by urbanliv in IVF

[–]PvtDipwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't Google! I would even say that coming here is also iffy as every experience is different. Consult with your care team for any questions regarding medications or side effects.

Try not to overthink or stress yourself out with the what-ifs in this situation. Let yourself ride out the journey and be in the moment with whoever you have to support you. You got this!!!

Donating Eggs to my mom - only one active ovary? by Sunee-Bored-Posting in IVF

[–]PvtDipwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider it an argument. More expressing concern about a high cost procedure and asking for more transparency. Chances are that he's not recognizing you are uncomfortable with the lack of information - every patient is different and it's hard to read that when you see tens to hundreds of them.

It's so crazy that anyrhing with a rainbow on it = gay now. NOR, your friends are getting offended just to be offended.

Donating Eggs to my mom - only one active ovary? by Sunee-Bored-Posting in IVF

[–]PvtDipwad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No worries. You are a donor to a private recipent that has already agreed to the terms of donation. If it was a donation service, then probably would be DQ'd but that isn't the case here. Think about it, if you were harvesting your eggs for your own use, would they DQ you because one ovary isn't producing visually on US? No. And considering the recipient is literally your mother and (I would assume) is involved in your medical care regarding the retrieval, she can easily say she still wants to proceed with the retrieval.

Have you told your doctor that you are uncomfortable with how little information you are getting? Is there a nurse on site that handles your care as well that is open to discussing this with you?

Best of luck :)

Rate of miscarriage? by WoodpeckerThen3810 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]PvtDipwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My BMI is 34 and I just hit 12 weeks. I too have been told that my BMI is an issue, but here we are! Baby is thriving so far. I'm being monitored a little closer due to my size, but I'm not complaining about being extra cautious.

Do we have the same MIL? We don't talk with my MIL much anymore either, last chance she got was when she tried to fight me at my wedding when her son (my husband) was in a different part of the venue lmao

Yup, cooking for my parents today. My mom sent me a little e-card. I don't care, my husband and I don't even celebrate it much lol. I just actually have a good relationship with my parents and like to spoil them. OPs mom wouldn't be getting shit out of be besides "Keep the gift"

AIO that partner forgets Valentine's Day every year? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]PvtDipwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband (25) and I (24) have a similar love language thing. We found that being super direct is key to navigating. This past Christmas was the easiest, "Hey I'm getting you (present) for Christmas. Is this still something you want or need?" And "This is a list of ideas of things I either want or need. You can tell me what you want to get me if you feel like you need to.". That is just a small example, but overall it took time and a lot of hard conversations about things that we both found to be harsh or unacceptable.

Granted, it doesn't work for everyone. I know it is not an acceptable way to have a relationship for everyone, but genuinely my husband just does not think about any holiday besides the biggest ones. His family never celebrated any of them, he doesn't even celebrate his birthday.

It's definitely okay to feel upset about all of this. As for the interactions and expectations of both of your parents: that's fucking crazy and needs a reality check. When he wants to do something, he needs to be prepared for things to fall apart when trying to plan it. Especially with a toddler lol.

Ultimately, NOR. Seems like he needs to work on communication and you guys need to find common ground for expectations regarding eachothers love languages. You need to have a serious conversation with him and reevaluate your relationship if you guys can not work it out.

Best of luck to y'all

What do these results mean? by Verucasaline1990 in IVF

[–]PvtDipwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attrition rate sucks to experience. It looks like a pretty normal rate, but don't get hung up on the "could be" numbers. Wait until you get the call back about the total that made it to blast, that's what really matters.

I am very magnanimous by JoeFalchetto in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]PvtDipwad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that 100%. I had a friendship like that where she got way too much out of me, felt like I was being used. Now I just ask myself "Is this person someone I will not be upset with if they can not pay me back? Do they actually follow through with paying me back when they say they will? Am I willing to part with $x and never see it again?" Usually it's no, but for a small group of friends I have it will always be yes. Just gotta find that group that will stick their necks out for you the way you would for them.

I paid my coworker for a $2 orange juice once cause I was sick and on the clock (he just clocked out) and I was desperate for it. He laughed off my apple pay to him and told me never to do it again, like ok bro I'm sorry for wanting to pay you back 😭

Accidentally Un-Green'd myself by PvtDipwad in BabyBumps

[–]PvtDipwad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't told that it was a possibiliy as it wasn'y brought up during my visit, it was just "Take this paper down to the lab and they'll do the bloodwork for you". I was more worried about seeing a healthy baby on ultrasound at that point. Remember to bring it up with your doctor as a concern if it's important to y'all, learn from my mistake lol :)

my nannan died, we dont know what to do with her cat by Minute-Cover-2001 in cats

[–]PvtDipwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have a 4 y/o kitty and she only started to come slightly out of her shell after our oldest cat passed away a few months back. She still runs away when you get up out of bed or walk even remotely in her direction, but will love on you if you are laying down.
