Are there any tests you can get done to understand your fertility? I have PCOS and cannot start trying until next year or two. I would like to know if there will be any issues with conceiving due to my PCOS. I’m 29 right now. I asked my OBGYN and she said that unless I start trying, there’s not much in terms of testing she can do and that she wouldn’t recommend it. Has anyone ever gotten any fertility tests done to understand if you’ll have future issues?

Been struggling with really bad anxiety these last few months and keeps getting worst. It’s so hard to talk about it and overcome it. Should I consider taking a mental health break from work?

New York, any personal trainers to recommend? How much do they cost?

Our institution has done a really solid job of tracking covid metrics down to a hair. Has been incredibly useful to inform our own and local epidemiological studies

Anyone have a good therapist in NYC? I'm based near UES and my office is near Madison Square Park.

Visiting some college friends in Chicago this weekend. Any recommendations for good/fun bars and restaurants for people in early 20s? Any labor day weekend events going on? Also, is the mask mandate stringent? If it is, outdoor bars/restaurants/events preferred

I feel like a million bucks while on bupropion and adderall and was studying 5 hours a day for the gmat, but I'm fairly certain the bupropion (but possibly either or the combination of both) was making my hair fall out. I'm going to try adderall alone but maybe it's worth hair loss if I can get to a to school... Most of us are eventually losing it anyways right?

Lit associates-what all do you delegate to your assistant? What do you ask them to do that helps you manage your symptoms?

It’s really getting to a bad point with lockdown fatigue with me. I CBA anymore.

Is the vaccine free to get? I assume so since we (taxpayers) gave pharma billions already, right?

Those of you who’ve gotten in shape: how do you make health & fitness a priority? I’m in year four of this job and realize I need to make some changes (aka I’ve put on 50 pounds since I started this job)

Does anyone else feel like their social skills went down during the pandemic? My new anxiety makes retail so hard.

I went to a masseur in LV last week and this massage turned sensual. He texts me today saying he’s HIV + undetectable and he tested positive for gonorrhea yesterday. This was my first such massage experience and I feel my world has fallen apart. Our genitals touched and kisses. I did my tests this morning and waiting for results. 😌😌 why didn’t he share this before booking an appt! 😭

Anyone else uncomfortable spotting women at the gym? When asked, I say yes as I know it’s not easy asking for help, but the responsibility to make sure she is safe & comfortable, is a lot for me. 😩

Any suggestions for healthy self help books? Or healthy eating or understand why we get cravings? Looking for self help books alone those lines to help get my eating right

Any books to recommend on mental strength?

Venting moment: can we discuss how every symptom is either “you’re miscarrying/dying” or “totally normal pregnancy symptom” and there is no in between? Crazy cramps? Either ectopic/dying or normal because hormones. Sudden horrible back pain? Either miscarriage or totally normal because hormones.

Has anyone switched to gitops, and if so what major benefits did you experience from it? What were the biggest cultural challenges to overcome?

Does anyone here utilize Mental Health First Aid?

I look at the senior managers at agencies and wonder who would ever want to be like these people? It seems like the higher you go in agencies, the less likely you are to have ANY life outside of work

Did anyone in Deloitte advisory receive a RFE for specialty occupation? I submitted the % job details as requested by the law firm. Anyone know the odds of getting approved?

Nothing quite says out-of-touch, tone-deaf C-suite like calling a mandatory all-hands mtg late afternoon of the day of layoffs and instead of addressing the issue — AT ALL, they come with some (cont)

Anyone has suggestions on what processes to put in place to ensure good collaboration between cross-functional product team and drive great customer experience?

Got a mail ' You have made it to the HR interview' about 2 weeks back. I called my POC to ask about the next step but was asked to wait for the HR to call me. Anyone has any clue when could that be. Is it going to be a video interview or a telephonic one?

Hey fishes,
Need some advice, if CTC is more than 20 lpa then which tax rate we should select and how much can we save by doing this.

Hey fishes, I have offer from UST global for 37 lpa including 17% variable.
YOE - 15
Role - Agile coach

Can someone tell me how is the variable payout at UST, how much percentage of variable does it generally payout?

Hello all,

Anyone available to explain prevailing wage and supplemental benefit rate to me??

Anybody else feel unworthy of this career? When it comes to stack rankings I’m generally in the top 50% of reps at companies I’ve worked for. On good years I’ll get into top 20%.

It seems every sales job posting is looking for people who have blown out their number every single year. I just don’t see how this is even possible, I’ve worked plenty of places where they gave us an unachievable target so nobody hit their number in a given year.

Hi all,

Looking for referrals to remote-first companies. Specifically looking to apply to public policy/government affairs.

Thank you!

Where do people leaving FAANG companies go to in Canada? I’m looking for a change but it seems like a lot of the Canadian based companies pay half of what I’m currently making. Who outside of FAANG / LinkedIn/ snap / Twitter pays well (I.e senior mgr / director level above $300k)

Hey all, what are some good ideas for a side business or a side hustle to make money on top of my full time job?

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.

Did you have to use a specialty pharmacy for your FET transfer drugs, or did your local pharmacy carry these?

So I thought I had Covid - I took 6 tests and they all say the P word..
I’m in utter shock still. TTC 3 years

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

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.

Has anyone had experience with follicle size discrepancy? I’m trying to freeze my eggs; on day 8/9 ultrasound they counted 4 follicles larger than 11mm, two of which are already mature, 16.7mm and 18.9mm. They also said I have another 5+ in each ovary that are smaller than 11mm. The phone call with the doctor was pretty grim (he basically said we might need to cancel the cycle as 4 follicles is too few for elective freezing). Can the smaller ones maybe catch up? Anyone with a similar experience?

After finally getting approval for my ivf cycle and being on birth control for 2 months -my ivf cycle was delayed for a dominant follicle and they want to reevaluate several weeks later. I don’t have that kind of time. I’m also starting to question the abilities of my doctor as well since his nurses try to act like the doctors and respond on his behalf. Thinking of jumping ship elsewhere.

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)?

How are all the 2WWers doing? Three days to go over here, the struggle is real :)

Can one suddenly be diagnosed with PCOS. I had regular periods till end of last year. I had a miscarriage last May and then tried IUIs and harmone injected timed intercourses, with no success. Contd

I understand that PwC reimburse the elective egg freezing procedure by sending you the money through our paychecks (and will be taxed as income). I wonder if we can use the amount for itemized medical deductible when we file our tax return?

Did my first egg retrieval today. In so much pain. Feeling discouraged because they counted 30 eggs during monitoring but only retrieved 13. Really sad and disappointed. I've already had 6 failed IUI's.

Got referred to fertility specialist after 6 months of trying (38 y/o) for our second child. We have Kaiser (CA) and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what to ask on the first telephone visit or tips in general. Thanks.

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.

My wife is a Fragile X carrier, so with this and trouble conceiving we are doing IVF and doing genetic testing on the embryos. There were 2 options Natera and Cooper. We went with Natera - and they take so long!! It sounds like it will be months before they send sample collection kits to us and close family members, then use those samples to develop a customized embryo test. Natera is fine with us beginning hormone stimulation in parallel, but our RE won’t allow it (no clear explanation why).

Hello . I am 33 years old and my husband is 37 years old. Today, we found out that 2nd IUI treatment also didn’t work out. Any advice to make it successful?

Sex after positive beta? Not sure when it’s allowed again.

Has anybody gone through robotic Myomectomy for fibroids and been successfully pregnant? Does it lead to any tissue scaring which may prevent you from getting pregnant?
