Take it one day at a time. Focus on finding a new routine in this alternate universe we are living in. Make your “commute” one walk around your block to start and end the day. Keep showering on your usual schedule. Start, or beef up, an emergency fund of cash on hand just in case. Buy a good book to read or start a new show so you’re not endlessly staring at your work email all hours of the day. Start a work out routine if you don’t have one already. Text your friends and family regularly to remind them you’re okay and that you love them. We will get through this.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

I need advice. I met an amazing guy on a dating app. We talked for 4 months and most of the convo was sexual. I fell so hard for him and it was because when we met up in person he was so kind, caring, and respectful towards me. He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?
