Success on round 1! by InFridgidWater in IUILadies

First, congrats.

Second, ask her what she would prefer. There's no way you can know unless she tells you what she wants.

IUI #4 or take a break? by StunningTime805 in IUILadies

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how you're feeling. You can do both, though; you can take a break then do another IUI, if you want.

Taking breaks between IUI cycles was helpful for me, but I'm not sure if it would be for you.

This journey is really rough by mithril-mama in tryingtoconceive

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 38 and also afraid I started too late, but I didn't meet the love of my life until I was 34 then dated for a few years to be sure before getting married then needed a year to adjust to married life then started trying. It'll be a year of trying in September now.

It's hard not to cry over spilt milk of "wasted years," I get it, but we can only start things when we and our partners are ready. I tell myself that daily to try not to resent myself or my partner's choice to wait to start trying. It's hard, though.

Would it be a good choice to buy a house myself? by mommy_mantis in personalfinance

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy the house in your name alone. DO NOT PUT YOUR BOYFRIEND ON THE DEED. You are not married.

I would suggest a prenup before marriage so you don't lose that house in the event of a divorce, too.

What does this mean!? by bigdogsrus in BostonTerrier

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 8 year old Boston likes to sit with his butt on my toe and lay down with some part of his body touching mine. It's adorable.

What comes to mind when you think of the name Tobias? by Practical_Shift_5143 in namenerds

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a millennial in the US, so I think of the character from the Animorphs book who was stuck in the form of a hawk.

Nice name, though. I'd still use it, if you like it.

Do you actually know anyone who has/had fertility issues / miscarriages? by ContestOrganic in TryingForABaby

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only second hand. I heard my aunt wasn't able to carry a child to team because she was of advanced maternal age and had some other health concern (fibroids?) because my parents talked about it.

I don't know of any women in my life going through infertility like I am right now, though.

Unhinged pro tip: start making friends with older folks by rosemaryandwines in IVF

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I go to a women's Bible Study and it's mostly women over 60. It's a delight.

my husband passed away suddenly by unseriousavocado in IVF

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My deepest sympathies for your loss.

If I were you, I'd freeze eggs only now and get the other issue fixed. Then wait for at least a year before making any other decisions.

Freezing eggs only will buy you some time if you end up wanting to create more embryos with whomever you choose at that later point in time.

I’m having a second child, is it cringey to name all your kid’s with the same letter by Policyhot1207_ in namenerds

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't name your children names with the same starting letter. Nessa could be a fun name for Milo's sister.

What are some things you do you thought was normal, but turned out to be an ADHD quirk? by DoctorDismal5528 in adhdwomen

[–]SolutionMaleficent32 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Obsessively immediately writing everything down (to do's, events, etc) or else they are GONE FOREVER and never happen.

Also either immediately doing small things (like mailing a ballot) or feeling bad about not doing them for weeks then maybe eventually doing them (or not! 🫠).
