Period

Anyone else not got their period back yet?

Im working on sobriety on multiple fronts. Im at 5 weeks for alcohol, 3 weeks for weed and two weeks for nicotine. Most of my day I feel slow, irritable and angry. Trying to read my books and leave others alone. Hoping this gets easier to bear

Is it hot in here?

Has anybody else get hot and when you turn the AC on and the ceiling fan, not even 5 minutes later you're cold, that your shaking, so you turn it off,both,then all of a sudden you're hot as heck again, my electricity bill was sky high last month LOL

Fertility supplements

I started taking supplements so long ago i cant even remember to help ttc. I think they lengthened my cycle. This month due to a few reasons (funds, being so busy etc etc) I've not taken them for the last 2 weeks and I think my period is coming. About 5 days earlier than I'd expect, but I'm now wondering if it's something to do with not taking the supplements? Is this normal? X

Is this an awful thing to say?

I’m going through post partum anxiety and my partner hasn’t been great at all. I have been crying to him about supporting me more and he said “I can’t deal with this I better end things with you now as you’ll be even worse when you hit menopause” he said this in a serious tone. I’m 27 and I asked him why would he say that and he said he has to think of his future too

Period 😣

Consistently late periods from stress?

I’m 28 but I feel like I’m experiencing peri-menopause or something. Every month my cycle gets longer and longer and I’m scared literally every month I’m pregnant only to get my period a few days later. Is anyone else constantly stressed the heck out to the point that they stopped getting a regular period? Is that a thing?? I’m losing my mind. It’s day 37.

Anyone near Pittsburgh?

Retired Texas native, new to Pennsylvania, and looking forward to making new friends.

My kids are grown and don't talk to me but....

I got the cutest puppy who gets all my love and attention. It's sad because my kids and grand kids should be getting that love. I wish my kids and grandkids could be in the picture with more love to go around. Truffles is the best dog! What kind of pet do you have and what's their name?

How do you make friends when you no longer have little kids?

I moved into my house in Friendswood on 10/31/19. Got my middle schoolers enrolled, got my house set up, got our doctors established and then the world went on house arrest. For years. We moved here from northern Virginia after my husband was offered a job at nasa. I left everything I knew and loved, all the ppl I loved, my hobbies, my life, and when the world opened back up, my kids were in high school and I knew no one at all. This is a conservative area, but only in so much that my appearance has kept my older neighbors snub me and I don't have little kids to meet others the old way. Can someone please tell me how to find one other outcast in this area that I can actually have a conversation with or leave the house to go see? My dog is tired of me talking at her. I am at the point of asking for a divorce because I can no longer stand the endless days of nothing anymore and my husband didn't anything wrong except accept his dream job. Any suggestions?
