Anyone here around age 41 and still trying to conceive? I've already been through several rounds of IVF to no avail. I'm lost, broken and confused as to do I still continue at this age. Am I too old?

Anyone able to share experiences delivering at 34 weeks? Our twins are coming Monday at 34 weeks due to preeclampsia. Scans have all been good but curious about others’ experiences.

Put in my two week notice at my agency today and feel the most at peace i have felt in so long. Even though I haven’t been with the agency for a year I have no regrets and know I made the right decision for my mental health.

My sibling is currently going through opioid withdrawal and my family and I would like her to go to detox. She’s insisting that detox isn’t helpful, and just makes her want to use (She has run from detox 5x over the past 4 years). She would like to detox at home instead, but if she is going to go to rehab, I she needs to spend at least some time in detox.

Should we let her detox at home or is this just asking for trouble? Can provide more details in the comments, but there is a character limit

I have one month left to finish my thesis. I know, I’ve screwed up. Anxiety got the best of me. Is there still hope?

Has anyone had a D&E? 21 weeks pregnant and after meeting with several specialists the verdict is that we need to terminate for medical reasons 😞. Aside from the obvious emotional devastation, I am trying to figure out what to expect physically?

Growing up I’ve always wondered if I had some form of ADHD since I had a lot of trouble focusing in class. Lately I’ve found myself zoning out during meetings more often and started wondering again. Can anyone share their journey on how they got diagnosed, what your first steps were, and if you used any firm resources?

Anyone feel like self-control is more difficult on stimulants in general? Like reflecting back on things, thinking before speaking, holding out on pleasure activities

I just started meds yesterday and the change in my focus and attention to detail is mind blowing. My only concern is, just yesterday I had a tough feedback session with my manager around how I’m taking too long to complete my work, giving them anxiety around close deadlines. I’m new in the job (3 months in). Should I explain anything about my adhd to my manager or just wait for them to notice the change in me?

When you finally achieve FIRE, what are your options to cover health insurance? Any specific strategies to lower the health insurance cost?

I recently left my big law role to start my own firm, and I need health insurance since that was a benefit with my prior firm. Any tips on where to find good coverage? Is it considered a business expense or a tax deduction? I don’t anticipate to be making much income this first year if that makes a difference.

Question. How many people here actively voice they are in recovery at work events to explain why they don’t drink as opposed to just declining the drink? Why or why not?

About a year ago I took a job closer to home (7.5miles). My previous position is about 50miles away, but I worked there for 11.5 years. I am really thinking about leaving and going back to my previous position. I absolutely HATE my job now. It gives me panic attacks thinking about it. I’ve had to change my anxiety meds and increase dose. Yes my old job is an hour away, but I was so much happier and less BS I had to deal with there. Do y’all think it’s a good idea to take a job with more commute?

So I’m 7 weeks 3 days and I haven’t been sick at all. I know I should count myself lucky and not worry at all because it’s normal but I can’t help myself but worry because I feel…normal? I got a handheld ultrasound at week 5 and the doctor saw the gestational sac but nothing else (which apparently is normal at 5 weeks) I have my first real ultrasound in 3 days and I’m so so so nervous. Any reassurance? Anyone else feeling this strange mixed emotions of grateful for feeling fine but also worried

I am a brand new mom in the Milton/Alpharetta area and I’m wondering how other moms navigated meeting new mom friends? I would love to find a good group (or just a few random) girlfriends - they don’t even have to be moms, but in this season of life, it feels like that might be the most natural connector. All suggestions welcome! If there are specific groups/activities you recommend, that would be super helpful.

Anyone have a successful baby after first IUI or first IVF?

Ok second IVF. 12 eggs 8 made to day 5 and now going thru PGA test. Fingers crossed... need some good energy and confidence before the FET again!

I did not have a good retrieval and I’m having a hard time processing. This cycle took so much out of me, I don’t know if I can do it again. I just want to cry.

Anyone took a leave of absence, or knows anyone who did, to try to conceive? What was that like?

I am suspected for endometriosis. I haven’t tried hormones yet but getting an IUD on Tuesday. Is it worth doing a laparoscopy? I am concerned about the risks. 33F, planning to have kids in the next 2-4 years. Not sure if I should wait and try it out before I get surgery.

I am 34.5 and have been TTC for 1.5 years. Failed one cycle of timed intercourse and one natural cycle IUI. At this point, considering IVF- there were no major issues when got tested by RE. Had a microadenoma and have been on medication since. Husband’s count and motility came back normal but morphology was a bit low. RE said low morphology does not matter much. Any advice before going to IVF? Thank you in advance

Transfer should be happening within a month (🤞🏽) any tips that you’d recommend to prepare for a successful transfer/implantation?

I’m so stunned to know that my lifetime max medication benefit of 15k is already maxxed out by one round of ivf (extraction only) and I now need to shell out about 18k out of pocket to get medicines for round 2 :( has anyone dealt with this before? Any hacks that you can share please?

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

Questions to make sure to ask at first egg freezing consult with RE? It’s my first time so I want to make sure I don’t miss anything!

Are there any studies on the outcomes of IVF babies ? We heard from our doctor that they pick the best eggs and the best sperms then implant the blastocysts that show the best growth - I was curious if those advantages continue on after birth.

Just had my egg retrieval today. Doctor said they got 8 eggs. Any success stories with that number? I know it's a little low...

Starting an IVF cycle shortly; and feeling very anxious. My period, which is usually within 25-28 days hasn’t started yet. It is 14 days late (and no, I am not pregnant :). My doctor had me patching 4 estrogen patches everyday for 10 days.
Has anyone else gone through this? Delayed period because of IVF stress? Or delayed period because of estrogen patches?
I don’t know what to make of all of this. Any help/ guidance would be great!
