their TTC journeys. Please be mindful of topics that are discussed that
could be hurtful to those going through tough times. Mention of children
or pregnancies of others should have a TW (trigger warning) and be in a

Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow.

R/R: My parents are coming over tonight for birthday dinner 1 of 2, which will be nice. It's also hot as hell outside (11am and already 90F/32C!) so we will be staying inside and I don't envy my husband as he'll be grilling later.

WAYDTGKU: still forgetting those damn vitamins, i'm vowing to be more adult as of my bday tomorrow, farewell early 30s, nice knowin' ya.
R/R: we are off to the beach for the weekend for my bday, my mom gifted us family photos tomorrow morning... 7.30am call time for that morning light. i'm very excited, just sucks no sleeping in on my bday. also sorry for being so intermittent on posting. i was sick in july and i think i've just got some lingering tiredness from it.
CS/Q: natm
@fantasyflyte oof hot day + the heat of the grill is going to be toasty!
@anniemarie887 waking up early just means you get to celebrate the day for even longer. You might benefit from some kind of habit or task tracker app to get better about taking your vitamins. Or put the bottles in a spot you walk past often. Or an alarm on your phone telling you to take them might help!

@inthewoods23 you know what's ironic, like i run a business, i stay on top of so many damn tasks, i'm also the primary like bill payer in household... so i'm capable... they literally sit next to my nespresso machine... it's just that i dont want to take them. i mean i want to take them bc obvs i need to, but like i don't love them. i'm totally rambling. i'm 100000% my own enemy on this in that i was soooo good about taking them for years, and then got out of it and now starting the habit again is like excruciating, which is stupid. so thanks for listening to me whine about being a moron about the same thing! i'm sorry you're in a funk, i hope you can shake it!
@gingermama29 I’m so sorry. Sending you virtual hugs
@fantasyflyte enjoy dinner with your parents!
@anniemarie887 ooooh that sounds so fun! I hope you enjoy your birthday beach weekend!
@inthewoods23 hugs. It’s so difficult when things get out of balance. I hope you’re able to recharge this weekend.
@fantasyflyte happy early birthday! Hope you have a good time at dinner.
@anniemarie887 happy early birthday to you also! Have a great time at the beach.
@inthewoods23 I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Can you guys schedule a date night to try and reconnect a bit?
