Okay. I need some advice. I am a smoker, dying to quit at this point, it’s no good for me, no good for my sweet babies, and it’s long overdue that I just quit! I’m ready! But mother of all things unholy, it hurts to go without!! The headaches are terrible, the anxiety, and going through some really enormous life changes, I desperately want the crutch, but absolutely hate it, and really don’t want to keep doing this. Any reformed smokers have advice on quitting? This is getting ridiculous!

Girl I feel you 100%. I stared again after my miscarriage in October.. and life has been crazy hectic since and I just haven’t found the strength to quit. A pack lasts me about 3-4 days. How much are you going through? Obviously it’s easy to quit while you’re pregnant cause you a precious little baby literally living off your body. So the difference of quitting while pregnant vs not pregnant is tremendous. But when I quit before I wasn’t pregnant I used things like gum, lots of hard candies (constantly had something in my mouth) I took CBD oil and stayed on top of my anxiety medicine which helped a lot. & in wa weed is legal so I vaped my thc pen a lot which was immensely helpful. But the thing that helped the most was Wellbutrin I got prescribed from my doctor. It took awhile like 3 or so weeks for it to start actually taking effect but it does work!
I’ve been a pack a day smoker over the past few weeks. My grandmother passed, and she raised me, my childcare fell through as a result of that, and I had to quit my job to stay at home with my babies, and it has been a struggle to stay relatively sane! With all this change, I don’t really want to quit! Smoking, at least from my perspective, gives you the opportunity to go outside, have a couple deep breaths, and center a little bit. Which of course you can do without a cig, but ughhhh. I’ve heard a lot about Wellbutrin really aiding it quitting, and Cbd seriously helping curb the addiction too!
Did you start back up after you had each of your kids? You quit during your pregnancies so it is possible to quit! Does your state or county have a smoking cessation program? They can offer supplies like gum or patches and a lot of times they have a help line.
I did, and I stayed good throughout my maternity leave too, and then I went back to work 😩 There’s definitely programs/hotlines in Cali that are state funded and free for the most part, and I hadn’t honestly put much thought into that, so thank you!
I used to smoke a pack a day lol. Once prices on cigarettes went up I quit cold turkey. Cost of living and price on cigarettes is crazy. So I quit just like that. For myself my kids and my pocket. Good luck to you. You can do it if you really want to. It may be hard but it is possible.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
Honestly - i don’t smoke and never have. But my husband has been smoking since he was like, 16. He’s quit and started back up multiple times. He quit when we had our first boy back in 2012 and he actually did it by just chewing sunflower seeds every time he felt like he needed a cigarette. He was grumpy from with withdrawals for a few days and had some bad headaches - but after the first initial like, OKAY IM NOT DOING THIS ANYMORE - he was good to go!
