It didn't come all the way out. It was just hanging out right above my cervix, being completely ineffectual. My uterus basically shoved it out of the way so that I could grow a baby. I call it the time my uterus went rogue.

After the insertion I called my college roommate and apologized for thinking she was a baby when she would lie in bed with a heating pad all day when she had cramps.

Oh, laugh away. I did. And I cried.

We're in LA, and we love it, but realistically, we need to move somewhere cheaper. We have a friend trying to lure us to AZ. When I look at housing here and there, I'm tempted, and then I snap back to reality, and think, that's fucking Maricopa County! I would probably murder Sheriff Joe.

I had what I thought was crazy PMS, like the kind I had when I was 15, and then my period didn't start, and I told my mom and my best friend and my husband that I thought I was pregnant, and they all said, No you're not. You have an iud. I wasn't so happy to prove them wrong that time.

Yeah, I was like, I guess someone has to be the failure. I loved my iud until I got pregnant, though.

Yeah, I had an IUD, and now I have a child. He's pretty great, though.

My uterus stealth kicked mine out, so everyone thought it was in place and everything was hunky dory, and now I have a two and a half year old.

I had never had a menstrual or uterine cramp before my IUD insertion. I was very very profane. Luckily a very nice nurse held my hand and tried to distract me.

I'm in LA. I put flannel sheets on my a couple weeks ago, and now it's too hot to sleep.

If you have five or six years until your wedding, just don't worry about it now. And by the time your daughter is 6 or 7, you may be more used to having other kids around, and you may want more kids there for your daughter to play with. If not, then don't invite the kids and let people bitch and moan. Just do what you…

Do your in-laws make a big deal about being a really close family, and then never actually support you or your family in any way but expect you to plan your whole life around them? Mine do that.

Can't you just pay for 100 people and take the extra food home?

Cool. I didn't know about the interplay of the gluten and the FODMAPs, so thanks for the info.

Partners get invites. A plus one is you get to bring a rando.

I was not invited to a super formal wedding while I was breastfeeding, but my kid stopped taking a bottle at 6 weeks and never went back. If I had been invited, I would have had to breastfeed the kid at the wedding or stay home. (I would have gone to a foyer or something to do it, but I would have had to do it.) I…

Gluten is a protein, not a sugar.

Also, not to get too whiney, but when I sold girl scout cookies prices has just risen to $2.50 a box and there were 40 cookies in a thin mint box, and 28 in a Samoas box. Now there are about 4.

You have to buy like ten boxes. You eat one box on the way home, put 8 boxes in the freezer, and eat the tenth box while the others get cold.

I mean, don't trust internet science, but I read about a study that found that there is no such thing as a non-celiac gluten intolerance, but that a lot of people who claim to be affected by gluten are actually reacting to FODMAPs, and if you reduce your gluten intake, you greatly reduce your exposure to FODMAPs. So…
