Hi everyone, I have pretty bad under eye bags for my age that’s genetic related, have you used any eye cream or eye pads that helped reduce them? Thanks all!

Every week, I make a plan to study during the entire weekend but when it's time, I procrastinate until it's Sunday night and then regret wasting time. This had been happening for a couple of months -

Random thought. I would describe the tiredness you feel in pregnancy like a heavy stone tied to you that just drags you down and you’re too tired to care or try to fight it.

For me it’s not super constant or frequent but when I get that tired I feel like I become part of my mattress. 😂😴

Any one around Bergen County wants to hit some tennis? Trying to get in shape :)

Looking for personal trainer recommendations in Brooklyn (Park slope/Boerum hill area). Not looking for anyone super intense but looking to start working out regularly and have a trainer help get me motivated and learn new workout routines.

I agree with Biden not talking about “court packing”. The day he opens his mouth the election becomes about it and all the crazies will come out of the woods and vote for Trump. Everyone will forget about the virus and America will be screwed for 4 more years.

FYI I can’t vote, but my future in this country is on the line. I wake up anxious everyday thinking legal immigration policy will be changed by an EO or a tweet and my whole future will go down the drain.

Official diagnosed with adhd two years ago

I lost my last job a few weeks before Christmas last year and it took me a long while to find a new one. Ultimately I ended up moving to a new city for a job I was really excited about. However, within the first few weeks I suffered a major medical setback which led to a crippling bout of depression. I am finally starting to feel like a person again but I'm afraid the ship has sailed on my having success in my new role.

Anyone do fasted-ish workouts with just coffee?

I tried it with MCT oil and it just kind of made me feel... oily. Don't really want to give up the cream so it's not black coffee though I know that's not really fasted at that point.

Wondering if anyone had a good approach to this. Was trying to do fasted cardio AM then lift PM.

Can anyone share their experiences / opinion of online (phone/video) counselling? Prior to COVID, I met with a psychotherapist in-person who worked wonders, but haven't spoken with her in over two years. Currently a lot eating at my mind and I want to talk with her (or someone) for the sake of my mental health but I feel like online counselling isn't going to be effective or help me in the way I need (all counselling services are online only in my area). Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I hate emotional dysregulation. It threw me into a complete spiral yesterday and apparently it has not resolved itself this morning. It's currently interfering with my ability to be a good human and a functioning adult. Makes it so I want everyone to disappear off the face of the earth.

Anyone looking for tickets to rehab for Friday? DM me!

feeling overwhelmed in all aspects of my life and it’s affecting my ability to perform at my normal level. It’s disappointing bc I feel like this isn’t me but idk how to change it. Hard to care too.

These “unprecedented times” and I’m drowning in emails from photographers and artist reps more than usual. Anyone else?

Does anyone have any experience licensing band/musician logos or images for use in a online video or broadcast spot? Is it best to start with the record labels or are there often third-party co.’s who might own the copyright/trademark? (Think Nirvana smilee or Red Hot Chilly Peppers)

Anyone relate to this or have advice? I’m about to quit big law and want to go in house after a few months of recharge. In my mind, I can’t possibly imagine myself being excited and energized about work (even though in house objectively aligns with my goals/style). I just feel so lazy and wonder if I’m just “ruined” mindset/energy wise….

How do you keep yourself sane during the two weeks wait? Going crazy over here.

I'm planning on doing a fresh transfer this cycle (today is cycle day 2) with SGF, and they want me on birth control until 9/21. Isn't that too long or is this a normal timeframe?

Any sucessful ivf experience with DOR ?

How do people handle the post-transfer wait? I’m losing my mind.

HSG pain level vs. endometrial biopsy? I have an HSG this week and did biopsy last week. Biopsy was brutal! I overheard a nurse telling someone else that HSG is actually more painful but I can’t even imagine… really nervous now.

Any book recommendations for first time dads?

Has anyone done a hysteroscopy before FET? I’ve had multiple failures and miscarriages so my RE recommended a hysteroscopy. Just curious what anyone else’s experience was with this and if it was useful in diagnosing uterine abnormalities.

For those in LA area, any RE recommendations? Also, any indication from your clinics will start new cycles (or any clinics in LA already reopened)?

For those interested in egg donation process, I’m posting a description of the experience which was written by someone who successfully went through it.

This gave me hope and swayed my way to try it

I’m 30 and starting my egg freezing journey in a few weeks! I have PCOS! Curious if anyone has any tips for someone beginning this journey!

Insurance companies are now allowing embryo banking. This happened to me and also another friend who works at a different company where we decided to go through with another IVF cycle before attempting a transfer (because an optimal number of embryos was not achieved) and insurance approved them. Hallelujah!

Anyone dealt with early second trimester miscarriage with PGT normal embryos after FET? We transferred two AA normal embryos-- one was a blighted ovum and just lost the other early in second tri. If you have, what did you do differently the next time around for more success? Getting old and just crushed at losing both our normal embryos and 6-9 months.

I feel like the fertility process is pulling my hubs and I apart. We’re both not great at communication, but I feel like this stressful process just is not bringing us together at all. I can’t vocalize what I need (because I don’t actually know what I need) and hubs is stressed and I feel like he’s drinking more and just not talking about his feelings. Anyone else navigating this? I don’t even know how to broach this topic. I am all about therapy, has anyone benefitted from couples therapy?

My best friend knows I'm had my second egg retrieval earlier this month and has not follow up with me how everything went. She knows I'm struggling to get pregnant for 3 years and had a miscarriage 2 years ago. I feel crushed.

IVF is such an emotional rollercoaster, and our healthcare system doesn't make it any easy! Just got ripped by pharmacy. They charged 17K for round 1 drugs, which exhausts my 10K pharmacy claim.

I did my first FET on 8/23. Do you feel symptoms by now? When is it too early to take an at home pregnancy test? This wait seems forever 🤯 I've been eating warm food only. What food do you guys recommend eating? I also been drinking this beet juice in the morning to help implantation....

does anyone know how the process works to be transferred to a regular ob if an IUI or IVF cycle is successful? my RE nurse is saying they’re planning on doing 2 ob ultrasounds and then transfer me around 8 weeks. does this sound normal?

Is an endometrial biopsy painful?

Fresh embryo transfer. Got my period yesterday, and my pregnancy test in the clinic is tomorrow... so frustrated after all the investment... I had two embryos frozen so hopefully next time it happens... hope everyone gets what they want.
