I take an iron supplement (Needed is pretty good, as is Mega Foods Iron Builder, Floradix, and Hemaplex), Micro Ingredients K2 & D3 mini gelcap, I eat as well as I can (lots of fruit and veggies, bone broth, water, electrolytes, fermented foods, etc), take a probiotic (Jarrow Femdophilus is great and designed for the female reproductive tract, there's also another that I can't recall the name of right now). Honestly, if you WANT to take a prenatal, it's fine—choose one that is food based rather than synthetic, and just realize if it contains both iron and calcium that you aren't optimally absorbing either because they counteract one another. Take iron with vitamin C for optimal absorption and calcium with vitamin D and/or magnesium for maximum absorption, but space out when you take each by about 30-60 minutes. I like to do my iron in the morning and afternoon, and calcium with magnesium at night

Messed up thinking?

So I have never had a cold sore and last week I got one. I have only been with my husband, except kissing one other man in college, otherwise my husband is the only man I've been with sexually.

I am currently pregnant in my third trimester, and it's been extremely hard, medically speaking, that sex was off the table for months... until last Monday when I felt I was able to. Well after that, I developed a cold sore a few days after. We have been together for almost 14 years, and have multiple kids. I don't share drinks or food with anyone and neither do my kids( homeschooled, so yes I know) We have never cheated on one another, we have discussed this many times out of respect we wilting do a clean break. But now I can't help but wonder. He doesn't know I'll be getting retested.

Is it messed up that I requested my dr office to put in an order to get blood work done for STDs?

Sex issue w husband

My 28 year old husband and I (26) have been together going on 7 years. We’ve never really had a healthy sex relationship/schedule imo, just sporadically whenever we’re both in the mood or if I’m feeling willing even when not in the mood. It’s never seemed like enough for him, yet we have agreed no porn or masturbation ever - after catching him paying for OF models 4 years ago.. we have a 18 month old girl together and I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant with our son. Yesterday he kept hinting that he wanted some and I playfully put it off until later last night and when he initiated sex again I gave in.. yet when we got to the bedroom he couldn’t get hard so I tried sucking it all gummy wormy and shit and he literally came in my mouth without even being hard like at all ??? Then he still couldn’t get hard in order to have sex with me - that’s after eating my pussy and the other foreplay. He then finger fucked me like that was enough, when really it was just embarrassing at the time so I faked my orgasm bc I was getting out of the mood and in my head wondering why he couldn’t get hard for me.. he swears he has no idea why and acts upset and sad and blames me for not having sex enough. Does anyone have any similar experience or advice on what could be wrong? The only thing I can think of would be that he’s not attracted to me all big and pregnant.. bc with our first near the end of the pregnancy he stopped initiating sex around the same time. I of course asked if he is still attracted to me to which he said of course and there is no one else. I’ve talked to him about it as much as I can, still getting no where but more arguments. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you anyways!

UK based people mostly

Do you feel like it is much harder to get just more humanity and casual chat nowadays? Like every move is driven by money and power, even between most common people?

Do you think your spouse has to “get you” for the relationship to last?

Like they understand how your mind works (intellectually and emotionally).
