Rant/Rave? I am burnt out, the holidays are exhausting. I've not had a break since the last weekend in November. Working or at cheerleading competitions with my middle kiddo. My middle kiddo is totally the most amazing kid and an incredibly gifted athlete and I would do anything for her but man it's exhausting sometimes.
GTKY: What is the worst gift you have received? COVID or COVID esk illness last Christmas 😂

Rant/Rave? I’m frustrated with my body and it’s seeming inability to do what it’s supposed to. I know it takes time to adjust after IUD but naively thought it would magically go back to pre IUD cycles.
GTKY: What is the worst gift you have received? I don’t think I have anything specific. Probably some lotion or something that I didn’t like the feel/smell of.
@AmMcc12 It took me about three months post IUD removal to have a "normal" cycle. I did conceive quickly after that.
