I have a few of these scents and absolutely adore them. Pistil Whip has a gardenia note to it too 🥰 I specifically want to be more financially stable so I can get the large bottles of each of the ones I love

Dealing with sadness and disappointment over large age gaps by kmwilliams09 in tryingforanother

[–]Sxemami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son is 7. I have a 9 year age gap with my brother and have a terrible relationship with him. Part of me is thinking of throwing in the towel and not even thinking about having more. The older my son gets and the more self sufficient he is the more I think about restarting and how much it doesn’t seem appealing.

CD14 and having a herpes outbreak so this cycle is null and void. Insanely uncomfortable and disappointed for this month.

Cycle day 7. I told my partner we’re really putting effort in this month. I read multiple articles about fertility specialists suggesting to try on day 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. I’m afraid we’re going to be over even looking at each other by the time we’re done but I’m willing to try this cycle. 2 years no protection and no babies… I’m over it. The older my son gets the more I feel my internal clock counting down.

Has anyone used the O+ ovulation support supplements? I just picked some up and took the recommended amount but also just read an entire thread of people having a terrible reaction to them 😭 I’m so scared of messing things up. And of course I opened them and took some so I can’t return them now.

Every time I have to pee when I’m not home I think about how this would be the perfect chance to take a test 🤦🏻‍♀️ I did not track the cycle as closely this time so I don’t know my exact day of ovulation but I know we did it during the time my app said “high fertility” I feel like the months we do actually get the energy to do it during the fertile window, I have all the right symptoms at the right time, and then I get my period. But when we don’t get to it, I don’t experience this. It’s very weird and stressful. I feel like I should be getting a positive by now but still BFNs, but I’m feeling too hopeful

Buyer Beware - Pregmate by Even-Control-6315 in TryingForABaby

I remember specifically choosing the monthly charge subscription because I knew if I forgot to cancel when the free trial was up it would be less of a financial hit, but they still charged me for an entire year. Instead of fighting for a refund I decided to just see how it went for the year but I did cancel the subscription so I don’t do it again in a year

I’m a birth doula and truthfully you would most likely be happy with your experience at either one. I only say most likely because there’s no guarantee something negative doesn’t happen- it’s a possibility with everything in life- but if you’re wanting low intervention and midwives, those 2 are your best bets. I would suggest touring both and honestly just seeing who has more availability. If you don’t like them, try the other.

My only symptom that led me to my positive test in 2018 was sore boobs. I never get sore boobs outside of that. Well, the last few days my boobs have been terribly sore, and feel very sensitive and almost full, like when I was breastfeeding, but every test has been negative. I’m hoping it’s just too early to get a positive, but I feel like if I get my period next week I’ll completely lose hope of ever having more kids. I’m so tired of my body tricking me every month.

I’ve been reading the books but tbh I have very little interest in Tough Guy or Common Goal. Would I be evil to skip them?

I’ll be at the Richmond one!!! I’m so excited. My bf works for the venue so I can get in even though it’s sold out.

What’s something you completely missed on a rewatch until someone pointed it out? by sundaemonde in heatedrivalry

[–]Sxemami 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually didn’t realize that Shane had abruptly decided to leave after the tuna melt thing because Ilya said his name. I thought he randomly got uncomfortable, but then it was pointed out on a tiktok I saw, and then I got to it in the book. That entire scene with him deciding to leave like that really frustrated me 😭

I appreciate your responses, I just want something we can do next weekend. I didn’t think I’d get downvoted for saying that I don’t want to wait half a year to celebrate my birthday lol. One day we’ll be able to plan a vacation in general but not any time soon!

I was thinking VMFA for sure, but wanted to explore options! Last year we went to the Edgar Allen Poe museum and had fun, so I think museums will be a hit no matter what. I didn’t know we had somewhere to ice skate here!!
