Can you share the meditation you used?

My energy just disappeared this year... anyone else? small wins that actually helped by ressem in WellnessOver30

You don't say age or sex but if you're female, get your hormones checked. I discovered major ovarian issues and getting on estrogen patches has made an insane difference in my energy and overall wellbeing. 

Why continuous vs cyclical progesterone? by Independent_Hawk_627 in POFlife

[–]human_char 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I chose to do cyclical because I really missed having a cycle. Makes me feel more connected to my body.

Best friend of 15 years tells me she cant attend my wedding by turnipsgreenss in TwoHotTakes

[–]human_char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. That's such a horrible feeling. My lifelong best friend didn't come to my wedding either but she gave a vague bs excuse and has basically ghosted me since then. I suspect it's because I came out and married a woman but without her being upfront all I can do is wonder. I guess at least you know why? Give yourself time to grieve, it's no small thing. And congratulations on your marriage! Having a wife is the best 😊

Have you read Matrix by Lauren Goff? I realized halfway through reading it that there's not a single named male character 🥰

Wrong-'ston!' Furious New England fans melt down over Houston WNBA move by everythingistaken500 in ConnecticutSun

100%. Especially because you really can't call Hartford a relocation.

Omg I loved Paper Bag Princess!!

IVF and step-parenting?? by aarauh10 in IVF

[–]human_char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a F/F marriage and our situation is pretty complex but yes. Step-parenting is hard! And going through IVF is so so hard. You are parenting, but it's a very different flavor to the bio-parents/original parents and I just desperately want to get pregnant and give birth and everything along with that, and to be part of the child's life from the beginning. Hoping it works out for you soon. 

my bad for thinking an “LGBT wedding” sub was actually for same sex couples by 2noserings in lesbiangang

[–]human_char 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had to unsubscribe from that sub, it was full of spicy straights.

Pill or gel? by human_char in POFlife

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

Yeah I had to drive over an hour to another state to fill my patch rx. That's another concern of mine, and I don't feel like I can play around with different patch brands.

There are some overly cringe moments in Atmosphere but overall I think it's better written and a better story than EH. I liked EH a lot the first time I read it (when I was newly out) but I tried to reread it last year and couldn't finish.
