Ever since the start of the pandemic, my admittedly limited social skills have deteriorated even further. I'm a little worried that I'll soon only be able to communicate through the form of text.

I had the same concern but then I started going out again and it really helped me a lot. You just have to find a way to get back to socializing.

The same thing happens to me, and the more time passes the less I feel like socializing again. I don't know if there is any kind of help for that but I think I really need help.

You are not alone, not at all. Post-pandemic (bold calling it that) social anxiety is well documented. You may be able to find support services near you, or meetup groups for people who need a gentle reintroduction.

Quick question, I’m starting timed intercourse with medication. I received my ovidrel injextion 4 months ago. It’s been in the fridge. I’m anticipating a potential trigger today or tomorrow (measured today with one 17mm and one 18mm) waiting to hear back on my hormone levels. I assume the fridge was a good call as that’s what the pharmacy reccomended. Should I take it out now? Leave it in till last minute? Thoughts comments?
