Ladies - anyone get pregnant in the midst of paws?

I'm about 6 months fully sober, and I still have periods of insomnia, nightmares, and brain fog, and i swear i'm not crazy, but I can feel my hormones. I can feel the hormones drop every night right before I pass out, my face tingles a day or so before my period, it's whacky.

I have low egg reserves so i'm pushing through with the plan I quit weed for, but i'm worried about how pregnancy will interact with these ongoing experiences. Anyone been through the same?

[To melt your frozen heart] - A female cold duke of the north and a fluffy puppy of a male lead!

We have:

Slow burn

A stronger and taller female lead

He's pretty much useless outside of his persistence and bubbly personality

She is also >! Fully blind !< and they have foreshadowing through the world building this is the case

[I swear we're just friends] - Extremely fluffy, soft read

Everything works out too easily for the FL and the ML goes from 0 to obsessed, but I can't stop reading. All the side characters of his family are so silly and the misunderstandings abound, such as in this case, where the FL's period musings and hatred of eggplant convinces everyone she's secretly pregnant. ​

Pads are a goddamn sensory nightmare.

Lunch is hotdogs stuffed with cheese, rolled in a tortilla, air fried with French fries.

I havent worn a pad in decades but I recently had a biopsy on my uterus and can't stick anything in my vagina for a week, which of course had to councide with my period.

I want to rip out my hair with every feeling of a clot leaving my body and passing through my pussy lips onto the pad. I'm giving my entire downstairs a scrub every time I change pads because the hair just seems to absorb everything and get blood everywhere otherwise. I bleed through tampons and sometimes a clot will escape but it's never been this bad of a sensory nightmare.

Are ya'll white knuckling it or is it just the blessing of a heavy flow making it all 10x worse for me? Is there some trick ive missed out on as a tampon wearer to make this better?

Fuck fertility treatments.

Pan fried cod with a pistachio herb l, idk, salsa? and zuchinni fritters. ​​

I've always known I was unlikely to have biological kids - all the women in my family struggle to get pregnant, early menopause runs in my family, and I've had terrible periods all my life. I came to terms with the fact that I'm likely never going to have biokids and I was specifically open about this fact to everyone I dated because I didn't want to give false hope to folks who were married to the idea that it's biological kids or bust.

My husband was on the same page, but he hasn't had years to come to terms with something not being in the cards for him, and he has a $20k fertility benefit through work, so after 5 years of trying and doing normal gyno visits that told me i'm fine, he floats the idea about going to a proper specialist since it's money on the table and getting checked out.

I've had half a dozen blood draws, two scans where they shoved sticks up my vagina for 30 minutes at a time, been put under for one uterine biopsy, stayed awake for another, poked and prodded up the wazoo by the kindest people, but poked and prodded none the less, it's exhausting and irritating and I'm so over it. On top of that, if we're doing all this medically, I really feel like I need to go for the full 9 yards and really optimize the chance of the benefits, so I'm following all their advice. No more than 2 drinks an hour, max 6 a week, mediterranean diet to reduce inflammation, and all the goddamn pills - prenatal, vitamin c, vitamin d, glutathione​, ubiquinol, tru niacin, a total of ​​10 goddamn pills daily. My husbands on a couple vitamins and reduced drinking as well, but it's just not the same for boys who only have to jerk off in a cup and then be told if theyre good or not.

We havent even gotten to the part where they confirm anything important or actually medicate me. I'm still in fucking testing!

I'm going to keep going for at least 6 months with whatever the doctor says I need to do, but I really hope this wasn't a flag that my husband wasn't aware of his true feelings about biokids. I won't know for sure until I tell him I'm absolutely done and I'm half hoping this works so I don't have to ask, half hoping it doesn't so I can stop being treated like a medical practice dummy and we can figure out what's next.

Feeling for my disabled sisters out there because this whole experience has been miserable even when it's fully been my choice to participate in it. I can't imagine how much worse it is when it's your only option to live decently.

My warmongering husband (completed) - cute enemies to lovers

Our MC snaps out of her villainess era and tries to make things right with her husband to avoid her and her daughter's death and make up for the terrible neglect she put her child through. Their chemistry as they reconnect is so stinking cute.

New baddie with enemies to lovers trope dropped [In the Name of the Special Contract Marriage]

Season 1 is complete but this story is new to me. While our female lead is a confident rich girl who has been well-loved her whole life, allowing her to pursue her own strength as a mage, she still manages to give off vibes like Maddie from Don't worry, we both agreed to this fraudulent marriage.

Her and the duke start off contentious and competitive, proud of the respective roles as mage and knight, but they learn and grow from each other's strengths and have each other's back regardless of how they feel about each other.

Doing fertility testing and it turns out the Charizard in my uterus might be impacting my ability to conceive lol

Went in for my saline vaginal ultrasound (uncomfortable but not the worst), and found out I have a large adhesion in my uterus, so now i'm the lucky winner of two biopsies that cannot be bundled together to be done at the same time!

I get a hysterocopy or however it's spelled on Monday, date set but time unknown, to play who's that pokemon, and then I get an endometrial biopsy in another week or two. At least they give you the funny juice at my place, i've read horror stories of people going in with only self administered ibuprofen because insurance won't cover anesthesia.

What has been your experience in this job market?

I've been unemployed for 3 months and my peaks are:

- 5 interviews, killed all of them, get to the last round and they decide to pull the role and reconsider what they need after each interviewee came at their problems with different perspectives.

- 3 interviews, killed 2, last interviewer doesn't show up after rescheduling 3 times and i'm completely ghosted by the recruitment team when I ask if we need to reschedule. Still havent gotten a rejection email from them.

- Applied to a job yesterday, got rejected this morning, and then got a cold call on linkedin from their company's recruiter asking me to apply.

Icing on the cake? Dozens of recruiters not reading their own job description to see it's degree required and wasting both our times reaching out to me, despite linkedin summary clearly using my degreeless background to position my holistic, built from the ground up career as a benefit within the first 2 sentences. ​I lead with this fact because so many companies insist my career needs one even though nobody makes degrees for this path, you just kinda accidentally learned how to do it and found your way there through organic interest.

I know HR had been gutted by AI but the ones left have been a pain in my ass.

I have a web app idea and need help understanding what concepts I need to focus on to learn to build it.

I tend to get invested in problem solving that fixes an issue or fulfills I want I have over doing typical portfolio projects, and since html/css is a sometimes ask for my normal job, figured this idea would help me practice the skills and build my portfolio.

I want to build a web app that helps design crochet shawls. For those unfamiliar with crochet, different shapes are made up of a certain count of stitches and chains, sometimes in single row repeats and sometimes in multiple row repeats. Each row expands by 2-3 stitches consistently on each side with a consistent center point of a couple stitches and chains.

I'd like to design something where you can drag and drop different pre-made shapes onto a triangle and at the end, it will compile the number of stitches you need of each type in a row, automatically including increases to build the shape. There's established charting on how to showcase this, so art objects would be simple to implement.

My questions are:

What languages should I start with to learn how to create something interactive?

Should I start with html or css?

Will the compiled math be more complicated than algebra 2 or do I need to refresh with khan academy? ​

Every Juneteenth, I volunteer with the smithsonian digital transcription project to help digitize records so black people can trace their families.

I also do it other times of the year, but given the date, I wanted to share an accessible way folks can support black people on their freedom day outside of buying from black-owned businesses because I know the economy is rough. I've been doing it for the past 7 years and I've found it incredibly rewarding.

Lunch is chicken and dumplings!

edit: someone asked how to participate - pick a project from the list that isn't in review status, pick a page to work on, then read the instructions included in a button on the page so you know how to mark things you can't read and how you work through the page. no account needed to participate! when I started, I looked up cursive from different eras to help me identify letters I didn't recognize and just kept it up to use as needed.

edit 2: a deleted commenter highlighted a second volunteer transcription opportunity!

What did you do for your 10 year anniversary?

Not looking for specific advice for me, mostly for inspiration, as all my friends who got married around the same age as me ended up divorcing before 10 years and those who got married later haven't reached a similar milestone yet.

Whether you gamed together until 4am drinking blue moons with Popeyes or took a sunset helicopter ride over the grand canyon, how did you celebrate?

Anyone successfully trained themselves to put their feet on the ground when sitting?

I've damaged the veins in my feet and given myself hyper pigmentation in the back of my knees from sitting kindergarten crosslegged during wfh for the last 7 years + crocheting a dozen hours a week + other sit down hobbies. I'm regularly active, but apparently not enough to offset the continuous pressure on my feet. (An yes, doc confirmed it was probably the habit and daily length of time that caused the issue, tests all came back fine)

I am struggling with stopping though. If i'm having a high-awaress day, where I can feel the blood in my feet or twitching, I can correct, but it's the off days where I feel fine that i'm constantly catching myself having put myself in the position without even realizing.

Any tips or tricks that worked for you to break a physical habit or gain more awareness?
