Thanks so much :)

Hey Jezzies, I’m still super new to Kinja and discovered that some of my posts can’t be deleted. It might be paranoia, but some of the posts I made could easily help to dox me. Should I start a new account, or is there anything that I can do?

lol Tell me about it! (His parents are living with us at the moment so privacy is also a thing.) It feels so unfeminist, but I have that biological countdown going on, so that’s also sucking the fun out of this process for me too.

Aw yay, seems like we’re cycle buddies then lol Seriously though, thanks for this reco, I think I will give it a try. Which brand/model were you using?

On the date of her death anniversary, would it help to do something that honours her memory? Instead of fighting it, maybe embracing your feelings and making a special plan to do something that she would have loved?

A healthy amount of time has passed...I hope you got some tasty crab rangoon! May every finger-licking bite be delicious and your rice plentiful! ;)

Yeah, it sucks because I’m irregular so I’ve been using Clue app plus monitoring for that ovulation discharge. I’ll check out the tracker on Amazon, thanks for the reco! We also ordered sperm-friendly PreSeed lube in the past.

Real talk? I don’t think that stuff will ever really disappear, we just try to find ways to live with it as best we can. (And that’s only because we have no choice but to deal.) Sorry if that’s super dark, I sincerely hope your experience will be different. But if you ever need to talk or vent, we got your back here :)

Thanks for sharing, I think I need to do a better job at record-keeping. There’s been a lot of upheaval & restructuring with my role, so this past year has been especially hard. I feel like I should be good at it by now, but can’t quite seem to get there yet due to circumstances beyond my control.

Thanks so much :) I am concerned that my boobs are normal but I’ve got frequent peeing, ovulation pain (more than usual), and extreme mood swings (more than usual) on my bingo card. Trying to talk myself down from being hopeful. Wishing you and your husband fertile thoughts and luck as well!

Would you consider part-time volunteer work while job searching to keep building your skills? Sometimes those also lead to opportunities. When I got out of college, I had an unpaid internship and I was lucky it was at a small company so it lead to a job offer.

Thanks :) It’s been hard to follow an ovulation schedule and dealing with day-to-day stresses and routines. I’m trying not to get my hopes up but I have noticed symptoms that are different from my usual PMS. Time will tell...

LOL! Chinese food with a side of crotch action is the ultimate combo :D

Does anyone have advice on how to stay professional and try not to feel resentful and emotional if your manager is a reformed bully? Like she seems to have improved some things (she’s trying to give more positive feedback), and I’m sure she’ll be open to continuing to improving our working relationship.

Fellow Canadian here. This is disturbing. :| I am very creeped out and anxious that we are next and there is a hidden undercurrent of xenophobic right-wingers ready to take power.

That’s awesome! Way to go! I gave up sugar and carbs, but I really need to exercise more. I admire your will power and positive attitude :)

I was unemployed for almost a year (7 months or so) and the job search was really demotivating. I also was living with my inlaws at the time, so almost in the same boat.

Sorry to hear that, that’s rough. Do your thing on your couch with comfort food, and have a treat yo’ self day. It works wonders.

I struggled a lot when my aunt passed away from lung cancer in 2006, and it was awful. Grief can feel very alienating, especially when I felt I was surrounded by other people who I thought could be empathetic but never really “get” what it’s like.

My heart is hoping that we are pregnant and it’s only been a little more than a week. That said, I could also have low blood sugar or extreme PMS :S Congratulations to you and best of luck!
