Does anyone have the Oura ring? How do we feel about using it as a replacement for birth control?

Uhhh what?

Basically, by tracking your period cycle, you can determine when you're in a phase where you're not fertile and therefore don't need to use the common forms of birth control. It's basically a responsible way to be natural without disrupting your hormones with birth control pills.

Not quite sure what this question has to do with tech, but my sister swears by using this method. She says it's super accurate and she loves that it's natural.

I think it's important to be more in tune with your body and it definitely helps with that but I still wouldn't necessarily feel too comfortable foregoing birth control. Even if the logic is sound, I still can't shake the feeling that I'd be leaving it up to chance.

Interesting - haven't heard of this use case before. I would be concerned about accuracy, pretty big consequences if not

Yeah I think this works for people who are amenable to having a kid but just have a moderate preference for “not right now”

For those of you that have your own book of business (big or small), how did you go about getting your own clients? I do not live in the state that I grew up in/went to college in so most of my connections are law-school related. Even if I did, I grew up in a blue collar town so any connections I do have there wouldn’t materialize into a client base. I’m a 4th year now and really want to start growing a client base but have no idea how. HELP. I do corporate transactional law in mid-tier market.

There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
