Thoughts on cord banking in the US? I know it's relatively new and has limited use cases but thinking about how much pain it could save in some life threatening diseases. Which company did you use?

I am being advised by my colleagues and friends in consulting that I need to see a therapist. It isn’t for any mental health reason per se, but for professional social capital. Apparently, I need to be relatable to the professional class and talk about my therapy experiences. Is this really a thing? Is not having a therapist like showing up green with an Android?

For those who have done the Maldives or Bora Bora - what are your thoughts and advice?

I work in the Covid designated ICU. I was getting my vaccine and the person giving me vaccine asked If I ever got it. I said no and he was really surprised! So many of nurses on my unit have gotten it. I didn’t know how to respond as to why I haven’t gotten it,

Quarter life crisis....

Anyone have a sensitive stomach? Id love to hear some explanations from the crowd that aren’t a serious medical condition - just an above average sensitivity. I don’t think I have IBS, but I get really triggered by certain foods and they just run right through me. Some triggers I know (too much cream / fat, or conversely a large amount of raw vegetables) but other times it feels really random.

Is it worth getting a MPP @HKS to re-recruit? One year out of UG (target, Ivy-equivalent, 3.6 GPA). Assuming it normally wouldn’t, but with COVID, not sure how much the calculation changes. Thanks!

I started a new job (with a huge bump) and they just don't really have much work for me (like max an hour or two a day and nothing billable) it's been almost a month. Am I right to be worried?

Profile: Project Management

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

How do you combat “mean girl” syndrome? Ive find this more vast in the PR landscape than when I’ve produced in advertising… I feel I’ve been targeted, but need some help navigating because I’m considered a leader here.

Anyone going to happy hour 🤨

Anyone with DOR / higher than average FSH have success with IVF or any helpful tips? About to start round 2 after an unsuccessful transfer with DOR. Ended up with 8 mature eggs, 7 fertilized, 2 embryos last go round but keeping one frozen.

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.

I have some leftover meds (retrieval: men, gon, cet. And FET: est, prog, pio) that I’d like to donate. DM me if you have suggestions on where to donate please.

Received PGT results today and am thrilled we do have normal embryos! So over the moon, I know we have a journey to go but celebrating this milestone! Sending all the positive wishes to all of you as well!

Just cannot get into my job lately. I don’t know if it’s the hormones, the upcoming FET transfer next week, or if I’m truly just over my company. I’ve been there 5 1/2 years. I started out as an executive assistant and last year I created a path for myself for communications. Almost a year into the role, a new manager was brought on, to my surprise. She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant

Hi all!! Make here but wanted to repost after years of ivf and failures etc today we hit 14 weeks! Everyone here should be positive we had so many rough periods but finally are in a good place !!

Hi, I’m 30yrs old and by next week I will be 31yrs old. Got married 2 yrs ago and we have been trying for kids from past 7 months but no luck, we try to have sex almost all 7 days of fertile window. I get my periods regularly, I don’t have thyroid nor PCOD. My Gyn did all test, and everything looks fine, my ovaries, Fallopian tubes , harmonies. Do I need to see fertility doctor ,if so, how is the best fertility doctor near Boston area. Need inputs for next steps before it’s too late 😒

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

Anyone use kindbody for fertility services? What was your experience? Im reading yelp reviews and most people complaining are doing so about the front desk or because they didn’t read the fine print on costs. 🙄Anyone have a good clinical experience and outcome?

My wife is 34 and just tested her AMH levels 0.83...she’s so upset at how low it is. While we wait for the antral follicle count, any perspectives from this group on how indicative AMH really is?
