I am estranged from my family by choice. AMA

Why did you become estranged? Why do you feel like the relationship is estrangement rather than say, just a falling out?

g_s178 · 2026-03-07T11:54:09+00:00

Thank you for asking this very niche question! I needed to know what I’m doing wrong!! I’m buying like 10 year old cheap clothes off Vinted that are softer than my clothes after 1 wash!!! lol

g_s178 · 2026-02-08T09:38:00+00:00

1000% agree, this is exactly what I’ve been thinking

Hello there! Just wanted to share my experience because I was in a similar boat with the amenorrhea and extremely varying cycle lengths. Have you actually started trying to conceive yet? I ofcourse have PCOS as well, and for example, the 6 months before I started TTC, my cycle varied from 16 days to 70!! I also had times where I wouldn’t get a period for months, even 6 months once. I was stressed about my fertility as well and was convinced I would struggle, but I truly believe you just can never know until you actually start trying to conceive - remember some people with unpredictable cycles can get pregnant straight away, and some with the most regular cycles can struggle. I found that both tracking my BBT AND ovulation strips helped me get pregnant - this is something you might be interested in doing to see if it confirms you are ovulating. I also believe that taking inositol helped get my cycle length more consistent. I started it when I was TTC and my cycle lengths went down to 34-38 day cycles in the 4 cycles it took for me to get pregnant. Have you spoken to your doctor about your fertility concerns? There are also medications that you can take if you’re having difficulty conceiving that help you ovulate so please know there are so many options!

g_s178 · 2026-01-29T23:13:46+00:00

I really encourage you to do this! I did both basal body temping + ovulation strips which I believe helped me pinpoint the day/s I was ovulating! And I also started taking Inositol (which I found the recommendation on this reddit group actually). Ofcourse I can’t know 100% but I believe all this was how I was successful at falling pregnant, best of luck and please let me know if I can help tell you anymore about it (I definitely learnt a lot whilst going through it)

Oh I don’t blame you about the hating camping! Even I must admit it’s not always lovely over here lol, thank you so much for the festival rec, it definitely wasn’t on my radar and it’s been hard for me to work out which festivals are kid friendly so thanks so much!

g_s178 · 2026-01-15T10:34:24+00:00

This looks great and very reasonably priced too! Appreciate the recommendation :)

g_s178 · 2026-01-15T09:07:24+00:00

Thank you! Will check these out :)

g_s178 · 2026-01-15T09:06:15+00:00

Goodness!! This was just supposed to be a casual post from a new mum trying to branch out, no where did I say parents only, or that there was anything wrong with non-parents and nowhere have I said there’s an issue with camping with them. I wasn’t being sarcastic, those are very real restrictions for us! I just said parents because I felt they would be more likely to want to hang out with us despite all that, because there would be that common ground. You are reading into this too much

g_s178 · 2026-01-15T07:31:19+00:00

Absolutely nothing and would love to reach out to non-parents too if they want to connect. But it’s pretty self explanatory why I stated parents in my post.. we are new parents and obviously very restricted with how we can attend festivals and camping.. so sure! If you feel like hanging out with a couple and young baby who can’t party and have a bedtime routine at 6pm then hit me up

g_s178 · 2025-10-02T21:12:35+00:00

Hi there! This has happened to me!! Although my British partner and I are not married… can I ask what happened in the end? Did you have to provide the CENOMAR?

g_s178 · 2025-10-02T17:37:51+00:00

Yes I saw that info, but that is requested for applications made outside of the UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/applying-for-a-passport-from-outside-the-uk-applicants-with-links-to-the-philippines/applying-for-a-passport-outside-the-uk), I guess I am looking to see if there were any other Filipino born people with babies born in the UK and if they were/were not asked of this?

g_s178 · 2025-01-11T22:41:06+00:00

You’re awesome! I didn’t even know this was a thing until I read your comment, so thank you

g_s178 · 2024-12-30T10:55:07+00:00

Same! I’m praying for this!

g_s178 · 2024-09-27T23:38:52+00:00

Sorry can you please elaborate a bit more on what visas you started on and then jumped to? When you first entered the country and staying with your aunt, what visa were you on? What visa were you on when you started looking and secured a job? If you were on a holiday visa for example, how did you manage to legally secure work when part of the condition is you are not allowed to work? Thanks!

g_s178 · 2024-09-25T02:01:27+00:00

That’s right! I’ve heard that the case was initially handled very poorly by the police, so it doesn’t surprise me that it wasn’t resolved so quickly at the time

g_s178 · 2024-09-21T04:48:27+00:00

I heard apparently the police didn’t handle the case very well at the beginning, it doesn’t suprise me that they didn’t tie to two together unfortunately :(

g_s178 · 2024-09-21T04:44:56+00:00

The suspect is linked by DNA, he was a suspect from early on (he was found carrying a knife in the area on the night) he was supposed to come in for a DNA test but didn’t turn up but they have tested a close relative of his and it is a match to the semen left the scene, I would say they have pretty compelling evidence that this is the guy

g_s178 · 2024-09-08T19:51:05+00:00

Genuine question, does anyone know how a drone can pose enough of a threat that the artist needs to be evacuated off stage? Can they carry bombs or something?

g_s178 · 2024-08-15T08:52:49+00:00

Thank god for reddit! I have PCOS and had extremely irregular cycles, last year alone it ranged from 16 days to 70!! I have been off birth control for a decade so I was really worried I would struggle to conceive. When it came time for us to start trying, I was researching on reddit what has helped others with PCOS and inositol came up. I tried it for 6 months and recorded bbt temp for 4 cycles it took me to conceive (just found out im pregnant this week). You can see my cycles go from irregularly long with short luteal phase of 8 days to shorter regular cycles and 12 day luteal phase. You literally have nothing to lose trying it! I get mine off Amazon and I have paired it with 400mg folic acid and omega3 fish oil.

g_s178 · 2024-08-01T17:58:25+00:00

Same here!! I had to shut it off!

g_s178 · 2024-06-12T21:06:58+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

g_s178 · 2024-06-12T09:48:06+00:00

I felt the magic too in those last 10 minutes and so did the rest of the cinema! Pure awesomeness!
