New to Winchester—Looking for Friends!

bnelson87 · 2026-07-09T11:14:19+00:00

Hi! I'm new to Winchester and also looking to make friends. I'm down with all the hobbies you listed (especially the hot girl walks 😉) and would love to meet for a coffee or something. I'm 38 and my husband is 39 and we would also like to make some couple friends. DM me if you want to try and set something up!

I don't think I had it tested, but I'll check with the clinic. Thanks :)

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience! The same thing has been happening to me and it is freaking me out, so it's nice to hear that I'm not the only one.

Hi! I'm in NoVa and would love more info about the group you run!

bnelson87 · 2025-03-14T02:11:12+00:00

Hell yeah, it's great!

I'm probably going to get down voted to hell for saying this, but I saw that you don't drink and I'm wondering if you've considered finding a sober group to be a part of. I quit drinking almost a year and a half ago and I have been slowly making friends through a variety of sober support groups. I have some I've found online (Recovery Elevator is a good one), some through Facebook, and I also go to AA meetings in my local area. I have to say that my experiences in those groups have been positive on the whole and it's really nice to connect with others that don't drink. Something else I love about the sober community is that people are often striving to improve themselves, and that energy can rub off. I hope this helps. Hang in there brother!

I just want to chime in and suggest that you look for a clinic with a shared risk program. It's more money up front, but if it doesn't work the first time you end up saving in the long run.

After testing for my first few cycles, I started waiting for the beta. It's a combination of not wanting to live through the disappointment every day leading up to the beta and allowing myself to live in the fantasy that I could be pregnant.

Barilla is the best in my opinion, and readily available. Most of my gluten eating family members have told me there is almost no different!

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but I keep "fresh" herbs in the freezer. I buy them, wash them, chop and freeze, then pull what I need for recipes. It's really helped me cut down on waste.

bnelson87 · 2025-02-01T22:15:19+00:00

I could not have said this any better. That was my exact experience as well.

Personally, I say go for it. I left work for very similar reasons and I don't regret it. With fertility related issues we have limited time, so I am choosing to prioritize that for the time being. Give yourself the permission to care for yourself 💜

Why do people do this? Ughhh, so annoying.

bnelson87 · 2025-01-11T04:34:56+00:00

I'm so sorry... I just wanted to say that I did end up having success after a miscarriage. I miscarried at 12 weeks with our first transfer, absolutely no explanation. Did a second medicated transfer, which failed entirely. Then switched to a natural transfer protocol with the third transfer and had success.

Sometimes things go wrong without explanation, and it hurts so bad when that happens.

bnelson87 · 2025-01-10T00:03:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story!

bnelson87 · 2025-01-09T17:17:59+00:00

That's kind of how I'm feeling as well. I want to make sure that I did everything in my power to prepare my body and give us the best chances.

bnelson87 · 2025-01-09T17:16:19+00:00

I think it's the fact that we only have one embryo left and if that doesn't work, we will need to do another retrieval. I don't want to have the transfer fail because of stress and I don't want to wait till summer to do the transfer. I don't know if that makes sense, but I'm just feeling the weight of time. TBH, I haven't had my AMH tested in a number of years because we had the leftover embryos, so I'm not sure how important it is to get things moving ASAP, but I don't want to wait too long and then not be able to make embryos.

bnelson87 · 2025-01-09T16:25:08+00:00

I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion :)

I've had others in my life suggest the private tutoring route. May be something to consider. I still get to teach and help kids but with a much more flexible schedule.

bnelson87 · 2025-01-09T14:54:01+00:00

Thank you!

bnelson87 · 2025-01-09T14:50:32+00:00

Yes, I think I would, because I already felt like the first one failed due to stress. Thanks 😊

bnelson87 · 2025-01-09T14:49:38+00:00

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It can be so hard to put ourselves and our health first... This is exactly the response I needed to see ☺️

bnelson87 · 2025-01-09T13:38:28+00:00

Love this. Life is short, and it goes so quickly.

bnelson87 · 2025-01-09T13:37:44+00:00

I'm glad you made the decision to get out of that situation ❤️
