Maybe they like the phallic shape?

My husband calls it my “friend” (to which I always reply, “FRIENDS DON’T MAKE THE OTHER BLEED AND CRY”) and will refer to all hygiene products as tampons. I don’t even use tampons, but my reusable pads are apparently tampons as far as he’s concerned.

A small part of me wishes that one of the murdered had been pregnant and there for prenatal care. Just so then he’d be a baby killer by his own standards.

True. I love the troops so much that I don’t want to send them to war in the first place. That’s the difference between me and them.

Like literally the least we could do if we’re going to send you to war that might result in injuries to your fertility is help you work around that if possible so you can still have a biological child if that’s what you want.

I was obsessed with this album and this was my favorite song.

Yeah, if there is a wrong way to eat one, it’s “not eating a Thin Mint when there is a Thin Mint available to you."

Though that is a great way to eat them, crushing them up and baking them into brownies is also amazing.

I had a LOT of opinions about all of it until I was in a situation where I thought adoption would be the “right” choice, but IVF was the practical one. It’s so easy to pass judgment but no one is half as sure when it’s their life.

We got really, really lucky. My employer-provided insurance started covering it. I was shocked, the year before they didn’t even cover DIAGNOSIS. I don’t know why it changed, but it was one of those things where I wasn’t going to ask many questions once I had my pre-approval to start my cycle.

My insurance covered 3 rounds of IVF. It was a financially better decision to go that route than adoption. If it hadn’t worked, we were still interested in adopting, but it was a purely practical decision.

And some countries won’t allow you to adopt if you’ve sought treatment for mental health problems.

My husband once complained to our RE after my egg retrieval that the room where he provided his sample didn’t have cell service, and the WiFi network blocked porn, so it was very difficult for him.

So he wants to celebrate treason against the United States of America? Or he wants to celebrate the losers of a war? Either way, it doesn’t make them look too good.

I’m 23 weeks right now - it’s cold where I live, so right around when I was able to keep food down again, the DQ near my work closed for the winter and I literally cried.

All my stupid baby wants is milkshakes. It’s literally going to come out and be 80% dairy.

Someone upthread said in another comment (maybe it was you, haha!) that they have a theory that women can’t lose weight and keep it off because most of the time, they’re working against their bodies and hormones, while men just didn’t care what they were eating, so once they start caring, it melts off.

HEY WATCH IT I’M RIGHT HERE.

My best friend is a doctor, and we usually only ask abstract questions (“Why does my nose get stuffy when I throw up?”) or troubleshooting ones where we’re on the fence about calling our doctors. Like once, when my period was thick and black and strange and just not what I expected. (His answer was not an emergency if…

I’m sure they consider themselves “good” Christians, devout ones, maybe even exemplary followers of Jesus.
