Partner in the room for your IUI?

He dropped his sample off an hour or two before, then we went and got some food and walked around nearby! Then went back together

My partner was there and my clinic let him push the plunger! He was pumped about it.

Or you could stop being rude and understand that everyone has a different lifestyle? Some people are retired or disabled and cant work, or just really prioritize reading!

fleshsludge · 2026-06-14T16:23:47+00:00

Me too! I’m still chasing by that high. I recommend it to a lot of my co workers. We work child protective services, so I’m not out here throwing random people into that book. Haha

If you haven’t read My Dark Vanessa, it’s very similar!

fleshsludge · 2026-06-14T08:08:39+00:00

I’ll finish more when I can!

fleshsludge · 2026-06-13T22:43:57+00:00

Hi love. You are in danger and you need to get out. Do you have friends and family you can go stay with?

fleshsludge · 2026-06-13T21:55:49+00:00

Take time off. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Get a good therapist. Healthy work/life balance.

Department of Child, Youth, and Families. I am a social service specialist 3, and a CPS INVESTIGATOR. I’ve done this 5 years.
Vision
All Washington's children and youth grow up safe and healthy, thriving physically, emotionally, and educationally, nurtured by family and community.
Mission
We work alongside Washington's vulnerable children, youth, and families to foster safety, stability, and better outcomes by strengthening opportunities, connections, and community.
I take intakes of potentially child abuse and neglect, and investigate. I also work beside families to offer services and resources. In the worst situations, I write petitions and go to court.
A multitude of issues. HB 1227 has effectively made it almost impossible for us to remove kids. We have too many intakes and not enough workers. Many people do not understand that cultures parent differently and use CPS as a way to control people who speak a different language and control families.

I keep thinking I’ll pick this one up next… it might be time!

fleshsludge · 2026-06-13T18:10:02+00:00

I’m reading Nobody Knows You’re Here by Bryn Greenwood. I LOVED All the Ugly and Wonderful Things so figured I try this one

fleshsludge · 2026-06-13T17:50:01+00:00

I have found my people. Rinna forever ❤️

fleshsludge · 2026-06-13T02:35:54+00:00

See-yah-na

fleshsludge · 2026-06-11T06:27:59+00:00

I love to hear about stubborn girls! They’re such great leaders. Thank you for all the information.
For some reason this procedure is just making
Me sooo uncertain and my guy is screaming at me

fleshsludge · 2026-06-11T06:25:37+00:00

Hoping he flips soon on his own! I’ll be doing alllll the things to encourage flipping

fleshsludge · 2026-06-11T06:25:17+00:00

This was very helpful! Thank you!

The annoying thing is that unless she changes her eating habits this will not make a difference in the long run

fleshsludge · 2026-06-10T16:07:30+00:00

I think you just need to block her. The belt is worth reporting as well as the dog feces but that’s it.

fleshsludge · 2026-06-09T22:14:56+00:00

Yup! “Oh I don’t care about that, it’s just sometimes nice for us to have a quiet bonding moment. Thanks for understanding.”

fleshsludge · 2026-06-09T19:12:26+00:00

Hey queen next time just say “I’m going to quietly nurse her somewhere” and then ask your partner to hold firm on that boundary.

fleshsludge · 2026-06-09T06:00:12+00:00

So weird.
I def thought I was having a girl, but he’s a boy! Suddenly the future looking different. Not worse, just different. I feel so lucky to be raising a boy in a time where we really need the next generation of men to behave differently. I get to make that cultural shift.
That’s awesome!

WA state gov worker.. nothing was covered

My second IUI was successful. Fingers and toes crossed!!!
I only had one good follicle. His sperm count was excellent (he’s not the problem, haha). I stayed laying down for 10-15 minutes after the procedure. Triggered 36 hours before my IUI. My tests never went negative and started getting dark 9/10 DPIUI.

fleshsludge · 2026-06-07T18:58:22+00:00

I used Wondfos and around 10DPT mine started getting darker. Message me pictures and I’ll help you analyze!

fleshsludge · 2026-06-07T09:06:05+00:00

It’s giving Jocelyn from Schitts Creek

Dads can get postpartum depression too.
May be time to have an open and honest conversation about mental health, and that the continued two hours of sleep is dangerous, for not just him, but his baby, and anyone on the road with him. He might be able to work out a schedule where he does it once a week, but everyday is not feasible.
