Lmao

lacking in knowledge is not gender based...

i get your perspective on this but i think these scenarios dont correlate to what tar was saying here. i think those examples definitely apply to her health anxiety and just fearing the worst case scenario but with IVF it is something that is already happening. it's something that does have very low odds and can take many rounds to work. since her first retrieval didn't result in any embryos and it was so hard on tar physically and mentally after hoping for the best outcomes, being realistic in this situation is to protect herself from disappointment. rather than feeling sad if we only get 1 embryo, it will be exciting bc she knows that is the statistically probable outcome, then anything more than that is amazing! it is all good outcomes but obviously some are better than others. and then if we get no embryos that will be something we just have to process. as a person who leans 'always be positive' it took me a bit to understand why this wasn't a negative outlook too but now it makes so much sense to me -c

ah we keep running out of time! we will absolutely make sure to get them in next ep! i actually have 3 prepared so maybe we will do a bunch!

it's so concerning and really a bummer to be going so far backwards.

@stayinguppod yes. I remember it all too well. Here for you ♥️

🤍🤍🤍

still waiting!! 🤞🏼 ah im so relieved someone else gets this haha it just freaks me out. they dont speak and i know it's just some adult in there looking at me but i cant see them. spooky. -c

thank you!! i gave myself a blowout! :)

ah this is soooo nice to hear someone else feels this. i guess i for some reason didn't think of it as a spectrum which is silly bc i do with all other sexualities. makes a lot more sense when you put it that way

@ I’m glad ☺️ honestly was so validating for me to hear you verbalize it too!!

alwayssss

they have said they live there but i havent seen them saying they came from there - C

ellen will always be the blueprint. for good or bad haha

glad to have you so early :)

who is this girl we could talk and relate about a lot hahaha

we aren't certain! but doing IVF in america you are told the sex of the embryos and can pick which one to try first. we decided to try for a boy if any of the embryos are!

we love a danish PP!!

Very much agree, and I voted for Trump. Not all of us are extreme or bad ppl and we all have our reasons for choosing the candidate of our choice. Here’s a little insight on how us Republicans feel and why. Yes, Trump is arrogant, a womanizer like most men, but the important issues for me were the economy and illegal immigration. I am a bisexual woman married to a man with 3 kids. When you have 2 working full time parents who are struggling to put food on the table and get by that overrules my thoughts on abortion and LGBTQ. As an almost 40 year old, I went from being able to enjoy and afford life to struggling and unfortunately the party in office will take the heat. Yes, I know Covid caused a lot of this not anyone’s fault. For abortion, I am Christian so am not for it, however, if there’s rape, incest, life/death of the mom, I 100% understand in certain circumstances. My other view is, ok I get it as a woman my body my choice but how hard is it for women to be accountable to prevent getting pregnant (we have numerous options to prevent pregnancy- we know we can’t depend on men for that). Being raised by Catholic Grandparents, I am about the principle. When it comes to trans in sports etc. I am sorry but if you are biological male but identify as a female, you shouldn’t be allowed in woman’s sports nor do I agree with them going in the same bathroom as my 11 year daughter and I am sure most parents agree it’s a no no. Many parents esp dads would agree and here in Louisiana. sports, just create a Trans Category- it’s a slap in the face to the women who worked hard at their craft to lose to a Trans sorry but it’s the principle of things. Make it fair, they need their own category. On immigration, if you come into a country illegally, you should not be allowed benefits, housing, etc. while we have Americans struggling and homeless Veterans- take care of your own ppl. You do it the correct way, and I have several friends from Mexico that are legal citizens. One note about Kamala, when that person mentioned God and she said you’re at the wrong rally, big shun from us Christians. Her policies were all fluff would mention them but never explain HOW. Russian evaded Ukraine right when Biden got in office because he saw a weak leader. No hate, bigotry, racism (Obama wasn’t a bad President except for the Obamacare). No racism, bigotry, etc just pure common sense Americans are struggling and we chose our wallets over our wombs

yeah we need to work on understand each other more and meeting people where they are if we want our thoughts heard. hopefully we can get there 🤍

it's hard not to. i think it's important to take time for yourself and regulate and then we get back to it and start working for change now, not wasting 4 more years to start caring and trying to make a difference.

yeah i think politicians know how to get people hyped up so they shove irrelevant things at us to focus on and argue. i have no patience for it when it comes to protecting trans youth - c

congrats!! (and thank you for the increased fear) hahahah

No, she's not <3

She’s for Kamala

Didn’t know you had to be a republican to believe there’s chaos in our government.. lol

no, i think this part was her expressing trying to figure out what went wrong and how a lot of middle ground people ended up voting for trump. thats why she was sharing she has tried to consume other content to understand the other side better in order to have more productive convos -c

thanks for hanging out :)

🤍

our apologies haha

love you!!!!

congrats!!!! oh my gosh this is so wonderful to hear

@stayinguppod thanks! We love following you guys and can’t wait to hear about all your future success!!

yes this!! i totally agree. it's all about opening up and understanding where your strengths and weaknesses are and developing the tools to handle things. you can get that from therapy, reading, workshops, whatever it may be. - c

❤❤❤
