She’s such a sweet and gorgeous lady. I just want her to be happy. 🥺❤️

I bet she´s an awesome auntie, stepmother and grandmother. ❤️

This breaks my heart. She has such positivity but I know it’s not easy.

Honestly, fuck her ex. I’m in a mood. I googled but there’s not much info so I don’t want to assume…………

(He has since had five kids but I couldn’t find info on his wife’s age or if they are biologically his or if they used a surrogate. As I said, I’m in a mood)

I read she's still good friends with her ex, so I'm going to tentatively not say much on him.

Good to know. I commented with little sleep in the past few days so guess I misread

Nah, I read about this here: https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/celebrity/article/michelle-yeoh-wicked-everything-everywhere-interview-mm338q739

I think I’ve tried to convince myself the last few years that I don’t want kids just because I’m so far from getting married and all that but over the past few months I’ve realised that deep down I really do. Not to the point that I would do it on my own, but just like having a family. But then again I feel like I’m always in love with the idea of things and not the actual reality.

Bleh sorry I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I’m not even PMS-ing.

There's a lot of shitty things happening in the world, so that might impact your mood? That's not even knowing if you have shitty things happening in your unique life. <3

I was never into having kids as like a life goal, and I've identified as pretty strongly childfree. However, in my late 20s/early 30s, I realized that while I don't have this strong urge to have kids, I also think that I never was with someone who I wanted to raise kids with. Now at my age (almost 40), I also realized I don't have the support system to raise kids which I think it is important.

I think parenting is one of those things where nobody can be in love with the reality before they're actually in the reality - so all any of us is ever really working off of is wanting the idea of it. Like, however grounded and realistic you are about the size of the change it'll make in your life and the work involved, it has to be experienced to even begin to get it. (I don't think that's true of all things, I think some things you can have a perfect idea beforehand, parenting's just too big to be one of them)

[mickeygang]

that's me to a T. i cried so much this past week (pmsing too lol) about my kids who i will never have, the names that would never be uttered, the love that i would never give. i never dated, much less thought about it or getting married. i'm just getting out of my 20s, and i feel the pressure to make a choice now, but there's not much choice.

[diamondbit]

i am feeling like such a mess right now regarding all things children and fertility. i'm currently deciding if I want to freeze my eggs or freeze embryos with my mtf girlfriend, meanwhile I literally still don't even know if I want kids. i'm 35 and my fertility is low, so now would be the time to freeze, but that involves getting daily shots of hormones and a procedure that costs 5-10k, so it would be NICE TO KNOW if i even WANT THAT! it feels so unfair. why can't i just continue flouncing around like an idiot for the next 10-15 years before having to think about any of it tbh.

Hugs. I wasn’t ready in my 20 and now that 40 is looming, I feel like I’m quickly running out of time. I did get tested and found (surprisingly) that my eggs are still there, just waiting, lol. But, I also have PCOS and it’s been an absolute bitch trying to get pregnant w/o fertility assistance.

It’s just not fair that we have to decide on this so early in our lives. :(

[aesha]

I also have PCOS and my RE said that myoinisotol (I think 2,000mg/day) and COQ10 (ubiquinol form) 600 mg/day had shown some promise. I’m certain they helped me, though the other fertility-specific drugs of course helped too. So if you’re interested in trying to have a baby one day I’d definitely recommend the two supplements, though they’re not inexpensive either.

Ty, I’ll look into this, my doctor never mentioned either.
