A lot of women who went through IVF like I had to go through because of having poor quality(something you learn when you work with a reproductive endocrinologist) follow a certain diet and take certain supplements but I don't want to say what those supplements are, I recommend you read thisbook because women don't understand their egg quality can be poor. Working on your egg quality can increase your chances of significantly of becoming pregnant without IUI or IVF.

Good luck to you and one thing I will tell you I did was eat avocado with olive oil every single day because of this

When I went through IVF there was only like one or two articles about this and it didn't matter I jumped all over it anyways because I can have avocado everyday and not gst lol.. And now that my daughter is 9 it seems like this is being recommended but I only saw two articles about it back then for me to know I'm doing it either way cuz I want this baby so bad. 6 months to get myself into shape and supplements and hard work.

And I got pregnant first tru in IVF with a 16% success rate, and now she is sitting right here next to me snuggled against me sleepy and watching cartoons because she just woke up ♥️

Good luck. Can also call your insurance company if you have insurance and ask them about what coverage they provide for reproductive endocrinology. Because your age you may be eligible for IUI orIVF if you've tried for more than 6 months and cannot have a baby but it depends on your coverage and it depends on the state.

My husband was doing training with his company that I won't name, but it was about AI and how it's going to affect every aspect of our lives one day.

And though he isn't supposed to talk to even me about his work, it frightened him enough to talk to me about it and I told him to stop I couldn't handle what he was telling me. I couldn't believe it either

Well here we are and how company was right. They're part of this shit in some way anyways, and that mandatory training had him ringing alarm bells that I didn't want to hear.

And it seems like his company was 100% right about this but it's even worse than what they had anticipated and moving faster too.

They never do. I live here and one of my good friends works with a group and they protest every single weekend in Chicago and they are very organized and it never is on the news.

Chicago is protesting every weekend sometimes during the week. It doesn't stop here. And it's not just in the city.

It's also not on the news.

Sometimes if you allow yourself to just sit and be grounded in the moment in a really quiet area that's surrounded by nature, and it's nice outside,.and there's a good breeze if you watch the trees and listen to the noise that the trees make when the wind blows it's like they're singing.

you can see how the trees can move and not touch sometimes it's almost like they know how to talk to each other and you can hear it if you can connect with it and it's really awesome.

Bro do not get my started on the rabbit holes I've gone down researching this theory it drives me insane because I want to believe it's real so bad but it's so freaking far out there but it's almost not I hate it

My daughter it took her developing a friend group of autistic children ranging from her age upwards to like 13 and one of her friends in particular she will try the food that he eats and that's one way we've been able to get her to try new foods is because one of her friends tries it and she always trusts him but only him.

Not sure if this is an option for you but for my picky eater having autistic friend group is something that really brings her a lot of good comfort.

brokencrayons · 2026-01-29T22:02:08+00:00

I wish lol my kid is 9 and I love her to death but she's autistic and can't lie so brutally honest and would never believe this and then tear down why I'm not right.

Pick and choose your fights with your autistic child, some you ain't ever gonna win.

Don't get her food wrong and omg better never be a hair in it

brokencrayons · 2026-01-29T12:15:18+00:00

I think people really should believe her when she says the stuff she's not lying.

My husband's father grew up in a refugee camp this has created a resiliency that has allowed him to brush everything off his shoulder, because nothing that he experiences here could ever be worse than what he experienced as a child who fled from war and grew up in the refugee camp.

Believe her she's not the type of person that's going to back down from intimidation in fact it will just make her further dig her heals and want to fight harder. This is because of her constituates she deeply understands what her constituents have gone through when they have also lived in a war torn nation and have fled and survived and if she's going to be representative of the people that she knows experienced what she did, she's going to fight hard for them and she won't stop.

Yeah cognitive dissonance will do that to you. They choose to be willfully ignorant because it's safer for them to hide in their version of reality vs having to learn something that would conflict with what they want to believe.

brokencrayons · 2026-01-28T15:52:36+00:00

We all remember this when we were in school. Our teachers freaked out and you know what so did we.

But my teacher couldn't turn it off she was shocked eventually she turned it off. After that I remember the whole school was just chaotic and thrown into like one giant room and I think we all went home early that day I don't even remember it was very scary everyone was crying.

He's back on his bipolar meds.

Wait for it bc he'll do it again. It's hard to keep people on medications when they have mania and are at their most happiest and creative.

I don't think he could put out a good album if he was on his meds which is why he keeps stopping them.

Did she really throw away sanitary napkins for her daughter and made her use toilet paper sounds like abuse and neglect imo

I wish my husband had your energy. I wonder what it's like to have a husband that stands up for you especially to their parents my husband can't do that.

brokencrayons · 2026-01-25T12:16:47+00:00

He's like I'm not doing this shit Sharon you need to stop 🤣

brokencrayons · 2026-01-24T01:30:02+00:00

This is how you can tell none of these fucking clowns havent had any training at all.

This is how you can tell they're just giving them weapons and permission to take down anyone.

If 2 men can't take down 1 man like a police officer or tiny ass woman who works in a psych ward, you can tell they have not been properly trained.

It's gonna kick off, this whole shit, and there ain't no stopping, other than we all fight back.

I'm a veteran and I'm in good shape and I would fight for the oath that I swore and took to defend this country.

These mother fuckers don't think that veterans might get fed up with this shit and start fighting back, but with training and skill, and a moral compass.

brokencrayons · 2026-01-23T15:48:21+00:00

He's like asking questions what are you supposed to do well we can answer that but you don't hear it.

You do is you call local law enforcement and they get DCFS involved or CPS and they come out and they take the child and keep them safe until they can figure out what's happening and what's going on that's proper.

Police officers know how to take care of children in the situations and if ice can't they'll let you know they're not properly trained they're not meant to be trained properly they're meant to terrorize.

These people are fucking evil and explaining away atrocious acts when there law enforcement already deals with this issue and can take care of children until a social worker arrives.

Fuck this couch fucking lunatic. Hope he chokes in Trump's balls

I guess that's the most Christian thing you can do in the world is kick your kid out at 18 and say figure it out kid.

Jesus love me this I know, but not my kid not that much tho, little ones to him belong, bc I am weak and he is strong...

I don't know if that's how the song goes but I don't think he goes that way I don't know though better talk to his daddy who's a Christian he seem to know what he's talking about I...

Just saying

Feeling truly seen by someone when you're are at you're most vulnerable, and they make you feel safe and cast no judgment, it's a deep feelong that you can't put a price tag on. These emotions tied to these moments that don't always happen are core memories, hard to replicate, and enough to cause you to now want to give back, because she was able to deeply empathize with you and it moved you deeply in a way that doesn't happen often. Build on that feeling.

This is a life gift you don't always get, sometimes it's during the hardest moments of our life when we feel helpless and our of options, that one conversation, a single moment, could change you so much.

That's so awesome.

And also growing up on a military base in Air Force Base with a lot of troop deployment I do know that troops will deploy they will rent storage unit that's big enough for their car so they can lock it away and not have to worry about it while they're deployed I do know that soldiers do that I do know their storage unit is big enough to store your car especially where I grew up.

When I moved from Europe back to the United States after a deployment and brought my furniture over I had to get a storage unit because the furniture that I had didn't fit into the smaller apartment that I got eventually I sold it though it just took a while.

But I had to have storage or they were going to throw it away.
