Random Rants ΠΕ': You're standing on my neck.

You get more out of life when you don't assume the worst from everyone.

I guess people speak what they know.

I see from glancing the 2nd link the study was broken up into <35, 35-39, and >39. Without delving into much which is my inclination it sounds like that 2nd group is the border

And now I'm dry heaving this morning. I have no idea what's going on with me.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Dry heaving is the worst.

I gave birth to my kids at 39 and 41. Both pregnancies and births were uneventful, though the hospital watched more carefully with the first one as I was over 35. (Not with the second one, because my son came along speedily - we made it to the hospital with 20 minutes to spare, but he beat the doctors.) When we were trying to get pregnant the second time, my doctor discussed in vitro with us, though we weren't interested. In their practice, in vitro success rates dropped of pretty quickly after 40, from around 50% per implantation at 40 to like 10% at 43. (These are, of course, people with fertility issues anyway.)

In any case, MaryKB, at 37 you still have plenty of life ahead of you, and things aren't urgent yet if you want to be pregnant, but you need to get moving on it. See a fertility specialist.

At the moment, I'm having doubts as to whether or not I'm 100% certain I want to have a child with my current partner.

You were madly in love about 3 days ago :/

Yup that's pretty much how love works.

Dry heaving is the worst.

When I was a hard drinking sailor I learned that orange soda on the way up is pretty much indistinguishable from orange soda on the way down and beats dry heaves all to flinders. Many a day the soda machine in the barracks was sold out of orange soda.

I'll keep that knowledge in hand for the future

 

[JohannaK]

What is a dry heaving.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Spoiler gross :

Dry heaving is when you go to puke and you wretch really hard but nothing comes out because your stomach is empty. Bonus points if you go into deep stomach spasms and produce a bit of bile or stomach acid but no food or drink. Thankfully it did not progress to that latter stage for me this morning.

But this is the third morning where I've woken up and got sick within the week.

 

[Farm Boy]

Barfing without anything to barf up. So basically dribblets of straight stomach acid.

Steer clear of Sunkist because it is more of a 'tart' orange flavor and that is inferior, and you will be better served by pouring the soda into a glass really fast to vent as much carbonation as possible.

Or so I've heard.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Whenever I pour carbonated drinks very fast they overflow and go all over the counter

Big glass relative to the size of the can so it has room to foam rather than room to roam.

Yesterday was at least 600 mg, with half that taken at 5pm. I don't think it was a short term spike that did it so much as consistently getting around that much caffeine (or more) every day for weeks, then drinking an energy drink waaay too late in the evening.

Yeah that would make me jittery. 600 is a lot unless you're a seasoned coffee drinker, one of those old guys who pound 12 cups of coffee a day.

My wife used to always say the same thing about bananas. Tastes the same both ways. Which is really gross but she used to get motion sickness really badly and throw up from over stimulation and would eat bananas after for this reason.

What you do is calmly pour it, stir it gently until there are no bubbles, then drink it.

Alternately, buy a full day's supply and pop all the cans and leave them on your desk to go flat.

When I lived in the barracks I didn't actually own a glass.
