Unfortunately, both the pill and an IUD help many women with their severe periods. I’m sorry that they didn’t work for your wife, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that those doctors were wrong or not listening to her unless they refused to admit that those options weren’t working for her.

Don’t worry, there’s a good chance they’ll go back to normal. I was a solid 34B that bought a fancy 34F nursing bra during the first few weeks of nursing baby #1. With baby #2, nothing I owned was big enough during the first few weeks. It wasn’t long after he weaned and I stopped pumping that all the weight fell off,…

This is part of the reason I rarely refer to my children by their name (I only use a first initial) when discussing them online. We don’t talk about them on Facebook or share photos of their faces. My instagram account is primarily to share photos with family and friends across the country and I am very careful to…

Yep, no beets ever. A co-worker tried to convince me they tasted like “earth” as if that’s different from “dirt”. My own fault for working with a bunch of geologists and soil scientists.

I love, love, love that my kids are in a great daycare. It’s an in-home situation so it’s cheaper but they still do a full preschool curriculum and the ages are mixed which I really love. My 2 and 4 year old do the full day together now that he’s old enough to sit still for circle time. When I’m home with them, I’m…

Yep, that’s exactly why I clicked through.

I just can’t imagine. Of course, you might also make that much more than we do. 

For once, a good reason to live in the burbs. We’re at a large in-home daycare but they do a complete preschool program and I actually prefer having the kids in a mixed age group setting. I know we’re getting a good deal, plus a sibling discount. 

If your employer offers that option.

Even if she WASN’T breastfeeding, isn’t she entitled a break during those 5 to 7 hours?

You pay more for one kid than I pay for two and we live in the Los Angeles area. Either I have a smoking deal or you’re paying out the nose.

$45K!!! Is that a nanny? We pay $19.5K for two kids and we’re in Southern California. That must be some platinum level care.

My HSG was covered by my insurance or at least half. Most insurance seems to cover diagnosis of infertility and subsequent procedures, but not any actual treatment.

Exactly. My cervical cells have always been tested using colposcopy and cervical biopsy (ouch!) following abnormal pap smears. And my endo was diagnosed through laproscopy, which I guess they are saying in the article, but it isn’t clear that it’s full-on surgery.

I was so glad when they started allowing free transfers from rail-to-rail. But you still have to remember to TAP at the transfer station. As far as I know they still have lots of attendants on USC game days because people still have no idea what they are doing.

Good to know they got that up and running. Does it also tell you when it expires or is that still just a surprise?

And at a cheaper restaurant, your waiter probably has a greater number of tables per shift. More at a time and a faster turnover.

But how many of these do I need? https://www.amazon.com/TowelSelections-Womens-Shower-Terry-Turkey/dp/B00FDUE3MI

I looked it up, tap cards are now $2 and four one-way trips ($1.75) are exactly the same price as a daypass ($7) but you’re still unlikely to need four one-way trips in a day.

The blue line is going to be under construction for months, don’t count on taking it from Long Beach to Los Angeles seamlessly for most of 2019. We love taking the blue line to the expo line to the coliseum or soccer stadium but we’ll be avoiding it for a year.
