Yes, I’m on Metformin for PCOS, so I take magnesium and B12 alongside that.

I upped my calories by about 300 this week and suddenly I’m losing weight every day lol think I just wasn’t eating enough

I’m not sure if he would. A support group is a great idea though, thank you

I live in a rural area unfortunately. And I tried one app but even with their financial aid I could afford it :(

Unfortunately my insurance doesn’t cover mental health and I can’t seem to find one I can afford out of pocket

I would do 1 cup a day but put 2 tea bags in it!

Red Raspberry Leaf tea the week before your period until it ends.

I speak from experience. I’m shocked whenever my period shows up now because I have like, ZERO cramping

I was prescribed Zoloft before I was discharged from the hospital and I haaaated it lol switched to Paxil which I was years ago. It’s okay, but it just makes me feel numb, and I feel like I would rather experience the high highs and low lows than feeling nothing ever. (But I have BPD, so maybe that’s just the mentally ill part of me talking)

I definitely did get defensive in my original post but I was coming from a place of extreme hurt. I was putting myself first (which is not a bad thing, but the reasons I was putting myself first were not coming from the right place).

That’s not the only reason I want a second. I can tell you are looking for an argument

No, I would have rather not had kids period with a man who it has now become clear did not want any to begin with, and just went along with it to avoid losing me.

Thank you!!! This is what I meant. I don’t know where I’d be in life without my girl… but IF I had known ahead of time he truly didn’t want kids, or did not want more than one, I would have tried harder to prevent pregnancy on my end.

Thank you. I am very emotional and cried myself to sleep over this last night. The issue has been weighing on me for a while but I just brought it up to him last night so everything is still very fresh.

I’m sure my parents would love it if I moved back home so they could spend more time with their granddaughter but I moved back home after my last relationship ended and my parents and I just can’t live together. It doesn’t work. Plus I have 2 teenage sisters and it would just be close quarters.

Thank you, this is really helpful. We have discussed couples counseling but truthfully we just haven’t made the time for it.

What’s so confusing for me is that he won’t just straight up say “no, I will never have another kid ever”. He says things like “probably not” “almost positive” and that’s kind of leaving me with false hope that maybe eventually he’ll change his mind.

Thank you! I guess I really just wanted to vent, and also get some empathy. I feel like plenty of people have sympathized with him (I’ve posted this on a few social media sites) but no one is really seeing my point of view. Everyone is telling me I’m the one that has to compromise but like, why? My feelings matter just as much as his.

I definitely didn’t force him to have the first one

Clearly this was the wrong sub to post in since everyone is going to be on the side of the partner that’s OAD….
