Do you find volunteer work fulfilling? I have a volunteer opportunity available that sounds awesome on paper, helping an underserved part of my county get medical care. However, I'm worried that any fulfillment I might find in helping this community will be overshadowed by added stress. Would love to hear from people who do it / have done it.

I think it really depends on what you're doing and who you're doing it for. I've had experiences at both ends of the spectrum. The silver lining is that you can always remind them you're donating your time.

In short, yes. There are downsides to just about everything, including volunteer work.

I never enjoyed being on boards. Too much attention to cash flow. Make sure the thing you’re gonna do is FUN to you. Yes there will be deadlines and schedules and personalities but if the work is fun and meaningful to you, it’s a blast! Enjoy!!!

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back.

We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
