Sorry to butt in late on the topic of gender / sex. This picture might help with some of the confusion. (sorry I don't know how to spoiler so it's large)
Also they / them is not grammatically incorrect. It has been used in singular, gender neutral form for hundreds of years. The dictionary also recognizes that it has both plural and singular use.
I identify as nonbinary because I simply don't know what my gender is. I also don't believe that there is such a thing as a binary. Obviously you can identify as male or female and obviously you can be cisgender, but I don't think the gender binary exists. I use they / them pronouns for everyone but my DF. He uses he / him for me because I'm comfortable with that.

I genuinely hate people who post pictures of their food. I also genuinely hate all the recipe pages I'm subscribed to on Facebook for posting recipe videos even though that's their entire purpose. Hormones and severe MS have made me a monster.

Preseed is a fertility friendly lube. It's supposed to mimic your cervical mucus when it's fertile to help sperm have a better chance of making it to egg. But it's pretty hit or miss as you see.
I wouldn’t say it’s “hit or miss” so much as I would say it isn’t supposed to work miracles. It is a lubricant that is designed to not interfere with the sperm. Other than not making it harder to conceive, it really won’t do much to make things easier.
Why do I have such little motivation to do anything at work?? There’s one big thing that I really should be doing, but I keep procrastinating and cannot get the motivation to start it. I know it’s going to bite me in the butt, so what’s wrong with me?? I really wish I could just stay home with DS all day instead of being here.
@pumkinpancake I feel the exact same. I have zero motivation at work lately, no fucus whatsoever. I just want to be home enjoying this nice weather we are finally getting. I hope my energy turns around cause we still got 5 months to go...
Is anyone already doing a monthly/weekly/whatever check in for those planning med free (or whatever term we’d like to call it) birth? Or interested in me starting one if we don’t already have it?
@knottieamusements My thoughts exactly. I had a few discussion topics rolling around in my head and realized they didn’t really have a good place to go.
Sorry i was driving all day! So yes with my job I am a union millwright, we travel the country and do a lot of different jobs (power plant outages, build bridges, conveyor systems in airports, postal services, etc) so each job has a start date but instead of a set end date Its a rough timeline of how long the job is because anything could come up to extend it. So when the job is over you get laid off from the company that hired you and go home and call into the "out of work" list and wait for the next job!
@pumpkinpancake She was really throwing herself a pity party. Toughen up chica. There's always a lot of snark in those threads because that sh*t is old, but there's also always someone who explains why. She's not listening and she doesn't care, she's just feeling bad for herself. GTFO with that. Lol

Also, as a lubricant, it pretty much sucks.
I’ve started the May FTM thread, and plan to continue to do so. Nobody is using the cracks me up thread so I’m going to let it die.
If anyone thinks we need a new monthly thread for eating or dreaming, please feel free to start it. I will no longer be starting those posts.
I don’t think we have one yet.
I think it is a great idea. We’re also still so early that a lot of us are still figuring out our options with this.
