Egg freezing | Hard Feelings with Jennette McCurdy

“doctor week” is a week i dread every year. it’s a week where i stuff as many doctor’s appointments in as possible because i dread them so much that i want to get them all over with as quickly as possible. this time, the appointments were a mammogram, ultrasound, pap smear, genetic testing, and an egg freezing consultation. i talk about what these appointments brought up for me emotionally, in the most i-have-zero-credentials-and-am-clearly-not-a-doctor sort of way.

People pleasers often get told they'll make great parents because on the outside they show a seemingly effortless performance of accommodating everyone around them while hiding the cost of neglecting themselves. No thanks. I'll leave parenthood to people who can take care of their own needs and set healthy boundaries without feeling like a monster.

Regarding the severe menstrual pains: endometriosis is one of those things that doctors have a habit of being dismissive of, if I am to believe some of my friends who have it. One of its symptoms is severe menstrual pain that is relieved with heat. Anyone struggling with bad pains, if you haven´t been tested for it yet, might be worthwhile to ask your doctor explicitly (and maybe gauge their reactions to see if they take it seriously as well)

There are other paths to motherhood should you change your mind later. I wouldn't torture yourself for something that you're not even sure you'll want ever.

Same. I can't imagine myself raising kids, but sometimes I wonder if I'll regret it later.

The fact that Drew Barrymore was a Darlene during their interview lol. People need to respect that just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it.
