Maybe he got “lucky” and only two of the eggs fertilized.

aaaah it posted before it was finished, I went back and edited it with the complete story! The original post makes me sound like a dick, but Lena Dunham is definitely the asshole here. I believe the victims always.

One of my close friends was falsely accused of rape when we were teenagers. He was accused by a girl who may or may not have been assaulted, but she accused him specifically of assaulting her at a third person’s home during an event he was not present for. I believe that he did not rape her, but I don’t feel…

One time I went to a wedding of a friend who sold Primerica, and was marrying someone who also sold Primerica.

My husband had almost all of his baby teeth rot out of his head by the time he was 3, because the only thing he was ever given to drink was soda.

Our friends have decided to try IVF with genetic testing before transfer (since clearly the problem isn’t conception, something is happening several weeks after the fact), and if it doesn’t work, she doesn’t want to keep trying.

I couldn’t get pregnant - took years and several cycles of IVF to do the trick. And it was torturous. It was like for years, I was stuck in a permanent, desperate phase of wanting something, and just couldn’t reach the next part. It was awful.

A sympathetic doctor makes all of the difference in general - I imagine even moreso in this situation.

Mine probably slept 20 hours a day.

I think the idea I had about maybe convincing my husband I should be a stay at home mom was decomposing by his third hour back at work.

That’s horrible! It also goes against ACOG recommendations - you wouldn’t run a marathon on an empty stomach. Laboring moms need calories!

It’s all the food THE HOSPITAL will give you. But they can’t stop you if you bring your own.

Out of curiosity, was your SIL your FIL’s daughter or DIL? I’m really curious about what happened the next time they were all together.

So...The Princess Diaries.

My grandmother didnt know she was pregnant with my aunt until she was over 8 months along. She was college-educated and had a job that requires a lot of focus and the ability to understand things very quickly. It was her fifth pregnancy and she was 45 years old.

Great story. The non-emergency line for my local police department is a recording instructing you to call 911 unless you have an extension number for the person you’re trying to reach. That’s the entire message, 24 hours a day.

I mean, at no point have I said, “this is a great idea!” I just stated how things were done here - and reading this thread, either I have a lot of neighbors or a lot of places work like this. My best guess as to why, honestly, is one of my bigger complaints about the logistics here: there are entirely too many police…

Which part isn’t true?

They do have a landline - and if you know the extension of the person you are trying to reach, you can enter it. They don’t give you a list of extensions to dial. The menu directs you to dial 911 if you don’t have an extension.

I don’t disagree with you, exactly, but where I live, there isn’t a non-emergency line. If you need to get in touch with a police officer, you call 911.
