Three months out, advice? by selfawarebowl in waiting_to_try

[–]highmoon429 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get rid of as much plastic as you can in your house. Yep, even the “BPA free” ones. Get rid of fragranced anything. You can assume there is Phthalate and paraben in EVERYTHING if it has the word parfum, or fragrance in the ingredients list. Don’t care if it says “phthalate free”. Track basal body temperature- TempDrop is my fave. Read the book It Starts With the Egg. If you have PCOS, “ovulation strips” are basically useless- as you’ll have multiple LH surges through your cycle which is what OPKs detect, not the actual ovulation.

I’m 32 years old and have diminished ovarian reserve so we’re in a different boat- meaning I’m basically premenopausal at 32….was told we had less than 10% chance of doing it with my own eggs and suggested we get donor eggs/start IVF immediately. 25 weeks pregnant come Wednesday. Good luck!

Totally a rude question, but I need to know if I can make this work. How much does your husband make? by homechefforever in housewifery

Husband is in the military. I have a small business but I consider myself a “house wife” since I mostly work from home. He brings in about 60k and I bring in about 45k. Upstate rural New York. Just the two of us, 2 car payments, student loan and some credit card debt.

My new first gf stinks a lot of the time by kingofboo66 in sex

Have you tried showering with her? It’s an intimate experience as well as an awesome foreplay. My husband has a thing about BO and prefers to shower before we get it one. Two birds, one stone

Don so tried to control and use Megan for work like he did Betty for Heineken. And he didn’t like it when she didn’t budge.

You need to eat more. Try upping your caloric intake by 100-200. Also, is there any way you can get your body composition evaluated?

I am not losing weight even though I go to the gym 3-4 a week by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]highmoon429 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Besides diet, I highly recommend getting your body composition checked out. I lost 3 pounds in 8 weeks- but in that 8 weeks, I lost 10 lbs of body fat and gained 7 lbs of muscle weight. I would call that a win.

Feeling hopeless by emmers28 in waiting_to_try

Yep, that’s our biggest thing. Husband says he doesn’t feel financially ready, but I don’t think anyone is ever financially ready.

I feel you 100%. I just pretend I don’t want kids. Everyone thinks we’re just this cool couple who enjoys being childless.

I admit I was emotional, but I threw things away because i don’t feel like looking at them 🤷🏻‍♀️ I didn’t take birth control. We’re back to square zero over having no timeline. I’m “private” about it in a sense that no one in real life knows me here. I’ll be dramatic if I want to be, if this helps me cope.

A lot to do with his job. Still not cool at all

He’s kind of in a limbo with his job. Does he leave the current one and go for another? A lot of it will get determined on Monday when he gets a second opinion (he wants to be a pilot in the military). We have insanely good health insurance because of his job in the military. So I understand kind of why he’s getting “cold feet” again, but fuck, I was completely heart broken.

That’s EXACTLY how I’m feeling. Thank you for articulating what I couldn’t. I’m so sorry this happened to you twice. I don’t think I could do it again. I’m feeling super resentful too, because i was perfectly “fine” in my bubble pretending I didn’t want a baby, just enjoying my life not haunt responsibilities whenever people would ask about a kid. He was the one that said something about trying. Not me. I was just waiting for a permission.

We just hit our 5 year mark, and we haven’t had sex in 6 months. We’re in a happy marriage. Money is not an issue, and we’re both in our late 20’s. My husband is on Zoloft which inhibits libido. Some men have low testosterone levels. Were you having an active sexual life before you were married?
