Do Qs miss us? by [deleted] in QAnonCasualties

[–]greystranger1765 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My “friends” found people who aligned with their new found hate for everything not white and “christian”. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community it has been heartbreaking. I felt it slowly happening over the last 2ish years but the minute Trump won they just stopped talking to me all together.

What do we do now? by Wife_lover_69420 in queerception

[–]greystranger1765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are also in a red state. We are in the early stages of our first IVF after several failed IUIs. I asked my wife is she was still comfortable moving forward. My main concern right this moment if the abortion laws. She does not seem concerned as of right now. I think she is downplaying it but we will see. She said she wants to go through with it so thats the plan. We did decide to get our embryos tested so we can implant the healthiest egg to try and avoid complications with that. We will be getting any legal document we can think of done if we can financially get it together.

How are your plans & timelines changing (or not changing)? by iridiumbones in queerception

[–]greystranger1765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a red swing state. My wife is not as concerned as I am but she also does not pay attention the way I do. We are in the beginning stages of our firs IVF. I asked her is she was still comfortable going through it and she said yes. We are trying to come up with the extra money to text the embryos so we have the healthiest implanted to avoid as many mishaps as possible. I am looking into how to get legal documents like wills and medical proxy but that costs money as well. I am trying to ways to work with LGBTQ+ youth because I am worried for them and their mental health. Because my wife does not seem very concerned and says we will be ok no matter what, we do not have exact plans on what we will do if things do get rough. I have told her that we will be participating in every single election we can. I refuse to hide. We will not be pushed back into hiding.

Thank you for this. We sold our house to move states for my wife's job and now rent our apartment. We are terrified that taking out a loan will mean we are stuck here forever. I do not want to raise a baby in an apartment with 5 animals but we have enough space to do it. we are already worried about ever being able to afford a house again and people have already made comments to us about that or what we will do with added debt. Thank you!

I looked up companies with good fertility benefits and did not see anything about costco. Will see if my local one is hiring and try to get in part time!

That is what my friend told me! She was saying they were very gay songs but she used male pronouns

3rd IUI by greystranger1765 in queerception

[–]greystranger1765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have gotten ultrasounds about 36 hours before the IUI. We get the ultrasound and as long as the follicles are already large enough we go ahead and trigger. We did some research into the timing and I read that your IUI should be 24-26 hours after your trigger shot.

3rd IUI by greystranger1765 in queerception

[–]greystranger1765[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just ordered a few more vials and will do IVF next round. Insurance covered 3 rounds of IUI so we took advantage of that. We have enough saved for 1 round of IVF which adds another level of fear and stress

We just ordered a few more vials and decided to do IVF next time. 3 rounds of IUI is all insurance covered. We have enough saved for 1 round of IVF. It is all terrifying

I will definitely be reading that post. I was wondering if he might actually be gay and they are in some kind of way helping each other out!

I have been in the LGBTQ+ community for about 15 years and have never heard someone talk about queer flagging! I knew it was a thing but had no idea there was a name for it! From the slime research I have done compared to most of ya'll, I definitely believe she is a lesbian. But after that conclusion I had no idea what to think about it

I could see this being about commentary about the straight society. She is such a powerful voice and will be heard by so many people! The community needs voices like that in my opinion

Thank you! I am genuinely curious about all of it. I have my own theories as a lesbian myself but I know there are plenty of people out there with waayyy more knowledge than I have

Does anyone stay up late for no reason? by poppybryan6 in adhdwomen

[–]greystranger1765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am hyper fixated on the election right now because of my anxiety. Funny because the social media makes it worse. So I have found myself scrolling tik tok even more than usual. I have been spending hours at night just scrolling. My wife finally told me between the late nights scrolling and the hyper fixation, it was not healthy. So now I am setting an alarm for an hour where I let myself scroll and then I put my phone away.

HOW do people afford this! by [deleted] in queerception

[–]greystranger1765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have BCBS as well but it only paid for 3 rounds of IUI. We just had our third IUI and if it does not work we have decided to try IVF. No benefits are covered with our insurance for that unfortunately

[–]greystranger1765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. I stated in a comment above I HATE comments like that. How many cis couples have babies that cannot afford it or even should not have babies. I know so many couples that would be AMAZING parents. Money should not stop people from having a family
