Congrats @Ver – that’s exciting! That sounds interesting @Copa. I suppose it makes sense that there are different attachment styles. Can you tell me what book it is again? I’d like my husband to take those quizzes!
@JD – that’s exciting – about his job! My youngest daughter is still at the company where she got her first job – and has actually moved up in the company. She works and goes to school but has managed to find balance between the two.
Don’t be in a hurry about the driving either. My oldest didn’t start learning until 16/17 – which was way better than my youngest (14). Which was my fault. I thought she could handle it but there’s a big difference b/t those ages. Anyway, she did pass her first driving test in Arkansas (for her limited license). Then we moved to another state and she had to take the test again – in which she failed the first time. So some states are way more lax than others, I think.that’s great @Copa! Glad it went well for you. I don’t remember meeting the parents very well (we’ve been married 20 years) but I already knew who the dad was because he was a teacher at the junior high I attended. I think that made it a little easier actually.
I do remember his brother (after we got engaged) telling me the whole “don’t hurt my brother or else”. Geez, like I’m planning on marrying your brother just to divorce him (or cheat or whatever) later. Yeah – sound fun.
Same here! I have two girls and the youngest is 18. I recently had a tubal so I do not have to worry about any slip-ups anymore. I didn’t want to make the choice and now I feel comfortable I won’t have to. No way was I going to start over 18 years after my youngest!
When I was pregnant with my youngest, I was at the doctors office for a check-up. Another pregnant lady and I started chatting and I could tell she was a little on the older side. She mentions that this is her 3rd child – but her current youngest was 18! And after seeing my aunt get pregnant in her late 30’s 14 years after her only child….I knew I didn’t want to do that.
Hahaha JD! Honestly, I don’t remember it was so long ago for me! I don’t recall it ever coming out like that but I think my husband did say he could feel it a little? Maybe it’s placement of the ring. IDK.
That made me LOL – so funny!!
My sister used (or did use) the Mirena IUD for a long while and she loved it too and didn’t have any issues getting hers. I think if I go this route, I’ll likely use the ring or the pill though.
On another note, I’m glad it’s almost Friday. I plan to hopefully complete my holiday shopping this weekend so it can be done.
good to know @CCL – thank you for telling your experience! I actually used the Nuvaring once a long, long time ago (may have been when it first came out). I actually liked it but insurance at the time wouldn’t cover it and I couldn’t afford the $80 a month it would have been. My insurance is better now so I may ask about it next time I go in.
Thanks JD! I did see a GYN recently and was told I could go on the (birth control) pill – which might help – but at my age I don’t want to take the pill. Though if it gets worse I will explore all options! It feels good to vent about it though.
Hope your back gets better soon!
Sorry your going through all that @JD and anyone else with back pain. I threw my back out once several years ago (by simply bending over to pluck weeds out of the garden) and I could hardly walk for a few days because of it. I even went to the ER because I was afraid I’d done something really bad. But nope, X-rays showed nothing. Received muscle relaxers and some pain meds but dang, I can’t imagine having that flare up regularly.
My issues seem to be my hormones. It’s like the older I get the more I FEEL my hormones – I don’t know if that makes since. I’m an emotional roller coaster most of the time. I can hold it together for work but when I get home it’s like sadness or anger or just the need to cry for no reason! It’s draining. I’m almost 43 so maybe it’s perimenopause? IDK. I just want to feel normal more days than not but with my cycle getting closer together, it’s more emotional than normal. Sigh…
It is supposed to snow here on Sunday and be super cold Sunday and Monday – yay, I guess…As long as I get my errands done on Saturday so I don’t have to get out in it anyway. I do like the snow and it tends to not stick around to long so that’s good.
I recently had an ablation (and a tubal) since my periods kept getting closer together and heavier the older I get. So I’ll still have the hormones 🙁 but hopefully a much lighter to nonexistent period – we will see (just had this done last week so don’t know just yet the results in terms of period heaviness). But I’m almost 43 and definitely do not want anymore children so there is that.
I too love a good cry when needed. Unfortunately around that time of month, I get so emotional over EVERYTHING. I feel on the verge of tears all the time during that time. It kind of sucks actually. I hope your able to have that good cry! I like the onion suggestion from ktfran 🙂
Also I just want to say a lot of doctors suck – at least in my experience. It’s like they don’t really believe you if you don’t have something obvious like a simple cold or flu or something easy to diagnose and/or treat. I feel like they treat patients like they are making all their symptoms up. I just want to scream at them that no, I don’t want to be here seeing the doctor anymore than you want to see me. It’s expensive and time consuming and I don’t feel well or I wouldn’t be there! Anyway – I hope this doctor works out for you @JD.
I’m sorry your going through that. It’s a lot to deal with. You should take today for yourself.
