@rdemers What I’ve learned from this sub is that there’s a world full of people like me out there. While I also don’t know anyone in our boat - this community is just full of people like us. It’s so isolating. It sounds like me and you have a lot in common though. I guess we both just have to...

@dinomangino OMG I’ll check those out, thank you!! I love podcasts! I’m pretty familiar with nursing, sleep/wake cycles and windows, and we’ve talked extensively about parenting and expectations for one another, so I feel like I’m on a good track! Thank you friend! ❤️

@dinomangino I wanna know ALL the things haha! That’s sort of my plan actually! I know quite a bit about pregnancy and pre-natal care already, as I work in healthcare and previously worked in women’s health, but I hope to learn a LOT more through some (proper) research and books. I’m planning to...

@dinomangino Lots of my friends who are pregnant/have children are struggling too, which is a big reason why we’re waiting. Thankfully, I do feel like we’re doing the right thing, it’s just SO hard to convince myself that I am. We’re not planning to buy a house at any point, but we’re working...

@lesonal Thank you friend❤️ I’m ready when life is ready!

@lesonal I love this for you 🥹 A lot of things can definitely be done with kids, if you’re willing! I’m glad you figured out what works best for you!

@jstar35 Thank you for this. My future self really will thank me. I want a good life for my baby. I want to buy them all the things they need and want. I want to be a great mom. We could do it on our current income but I’d prefer to make more. Like I said, going back to school for a year will...

@trey416 I’m so sorry to hear that. I truly hope the stars align for you two and you’re able to achieve your goal. My heart is with you friend. ❤️

@sandyyy Are you me?? I’m not buying a house ANY time soon, but my SIL wants so badly for us to be pregnant together and it just isn’t going to happen. Some days are absolutely much harder than others. It feels like it’s EVERYONE but me. I’m so glad I found this sub because I finally feel like...

@stjoesreteacher UGH this helps so much, you don’t even know. I know it’ll be worth it, it’s just SO HARD!

@shibolet We will. We will get there. Best of luck to you going through the sperm donation process when that time comes ❤️

@shibolet I worry about trying with no success as well, although I am absolutely not in your shoes of using a sperm donor and I won’t pretend to know what that feels like! I have no reason to think I’ll have issues, but it’s in the forefront of my mind too. I just want a child, like everyone...

@scottxbx88 Even better. Fingers crossed she isn’t pregnant, for both of your sakes, but if she is, I wish you both a healthy healing period.

@scottxbx88 And that’s okay! It’s your choice as a couple. Do you live in a state where abortion is legal? There are a couple subs here that can help if not.

@vanda We got this! ❤️

@vanda Ugh, thank you for this. It is SO HARD to see it everywhere. Glad we’re in the same boat of trying to get in a solid financial position :) Your last sentence really eased my mind some too.

@scottxbx88 Your only option now is to ensure she’s actually pregnant at the doctor and proceed accordingly. There’s nothing you can do at this point, unfortunately. You do have options regarding carrying the pregnancy or not though.

Hi friends :) Just looking for some solidarity, I guess. How do you deal with seeing it happen for EVERYONE ELSE? It feels like all of my friends are already pregnant, have children, or are planning to try soon. While I’m happy for my friends, I can’t help but feel that little twinge of...

@randybrice Plan B is considered slightly less effective over 165 lbs. Slightly less effective doesn’t mean it won’t work :) Wait 21 days and take a pregnancy test to follow up.

@eddycharles I also don’t really have advice, but you’re not alone. The wait is HARD - many of my friends are pregnant or have had babies already, and I’m definitely envious too! I think about it all the time, just like you. I just try to remind myself that there are things that need to happen...
