Feeling sad. I’ve frozen eggs and am ready to try in earnest now for a child but my husband doesn’t really care about having kids or wanting to try. He’s always been like “if it happens it happens.” I’m 37 - it hasn’t “happened.” That’s all, just sad.

Is it a sign to not leave yet if I’m hesitant to leave big law despite receiving offers at good companies? I am a junior associate that’s really burned out and yet I fear making the leap because of “missing” people I’ve worked with (who probably won’t remember me much) and all the hopes I had for myself when I first summered. But I also know this job has been extremely tough on my health and my family and I regretted it the first time I turned down an offer.

Another "we are having a baby" day from friends. I used to get very excited for everyones babies but I think its taking a huge toll on me now. Instead of being happy for them I cried. I dont want to feel like this. I actually don't even know what am feeling except for I am sad. I don't want to call them don't want to wish them don't want to do anything but I ll have to put up a brave face and maybe send care baskets or host yet another baby shower

Anyone married but still have feelings about your ex? Like you love your SO but still have lingering feelings?

I have a sibling that wants to work at the same firm I work at. Work is what I have to myself, and I don’t want them there in my space. It feels icky but it’s my comfort zone, what do I do?

What is the worst in jet experience you ever had? Like.... I’d rather sit in front of a 2yr old listening to baby shark than....?

Does anyone ever question the possibility of going to law school?

I’m a 23yo female legal assistant working/living in Canada. I am completing my BA in hopes of continuing with law school after. But, I just turned 23 and I’m anxious about my love life and starting a family. I haven’t had a boyfriend since 2019 and I’ve poured my heart and soul into my education & career.

I’ve always wanted to go to law school since age 14. But I also want a husband/kids. I don’t feel like I can have both.

How to deal with parents that want to know everything but you don’t want to tell them everything because you want to loose your job?

I thought that this space was for search a relationship 😅🤣😅🤣😅

Currently reading the book “Work pause thrive” to understand how I can put my career on pause and successfully pick it back up once my kids are older. Right now I have 2 under 2 and trying for a 3rd. Looking for feedback from anyone who has tried this successfully.

Ladies, did you change your last name after getting married? I’m worried about the impact it will have on my publications.

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

I feel mentally stuck / having repeated thoughts about a relationship that ended about 2 mo ago. I’m dating others / being functional and not insecure about that loss etc but I struggle putting it behind me. Looking for some support / tips / kindness?

I’m bored with life. Is this a sign of depression? Don’t know why my parents decide to have me..I don’t even want to live this life

I am 32 and not sure I want kids anymore. I have two golden doodles and they are all the love and affection I need. I’ve hinted it to my girlfriend but not sure she believes me…

I have a friend who’s turning into a Karen. She filed noise complaints w the city on a neighbor. And then the city left her a notice about the investigation and the neighbor wants to talk to her. She’s now mad she has to deal with it and is wondering what the neighbor wants from her and what her end game is. I’m trying to be supportive but also don’t understand how she’s not owning her own complaint. It’s her problem she’s having trouble with neighbor noise in a city, not everyone else’s.

Navigating a ton of life changes right now and psyching myself out daily. Met someone in another country and fell in love. We’re doing distance for a bit now but in order to be back together I have to apply for residency, get a new job and move.

I’m in my 20’s and this is a beautiful part of the world so I feel like just take the risk now. It’s a lot of change really fast and sometimes I’m questioning if it’s worth it.

It sucks my friends don’t make as much as I do. I want to travel and go out and most of my college friends don’t have money to do those things. I love my friends, but they just are perpetually broke.

32 M in London. Got divorced after a very short marriage. Have moved on and not given up on love, willing to give love and marriage another chance. Happy to connect with 🐟 from US, but just letting you know life’s great in London!

This is the hardest time of year for me because I can’t get outside and now I can’t safely socialize with friends inside. If you are struggling too, I see you and I am with you!

What to read or watch before first flight lesson to maximize what I get from it? Got one as a gift. 1hr desk, 1hr cesna

I just had dinner with some old friends and they are about to retire early. Part of their plan is to downsize their home, get a small condo and travel for 9-10 months a year. Does this seem crazy? I just can’t imagine it. I guess they figured the cost would be about the same but wouldn’t you miss the relationships. Wouldn’t your kids feel lost without having a sense of home? Anyone thought about this?

Can you have sex during ivf?

For those of you who had acupuncture treatments along with IVF - did you do a session right after transfer or just before?

How much time in advance did you order your IVF drugs from a mail-in pharmacy (e.g. CVS caremark)? Should I wait until I get my period to order them to make sure I'm not already pregnant or buy them in advance? Waiting for the results of my IUI, but will move directly to IVF if it doesn't work.

Any recs for what to do about anovulation? Hope is not a good strategy and I think I need to take the next step and do something. acupuncturist, fertility specialist, no clue where to start...

Had my first egg retrieval a few weeks ago. Still trying to comprehend what happened. All my ultrasounds and blood work came back perfect. In the end, I had 30 follicles and they were only able to retrieve 3 eggs. Our embryologist said my egg quality was very poor and one had been dead for a long time. None of my tests ever indicated any issues. I have tested my egg reserve twice and everything came back normal. Any thoughts/advice? I’m really at a loss for words.

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.

First consultation with fertility doctor tomorrow! Any specific questions you wish you had asked the first time? Hoping he says we can start IUI fairly soon. Have been trying the old fashioned way for a year without luck and heart broken.

Gals doing IVF, I just started my Ganarelix injection and it’s very itchy! I’m also noticing a small welt at the injection site. Anyone else had a similar reaction?

How long after a failed transfer does your stomach and body feel like it’s back to normal? It’s been a little over a week since I got the news that my transfer a few weeks ago didn’t work. But my stomach is still so pooched out and looks pregnant that it makes me cry knowing that’s not the case. Trying to eat clean, tons of long walks, but still feel really bloated and gross.

Can anyone in the Charlotte area recommend a good, caring fertility clinic? Every single one I've researched has some pretty scathing reviews. Anybody have a good experience?

Any recs for fertility clinics or doctors in Illinois?

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 getting ready to start my first IVF cycle and I went in for baselines and I have a few cysts that haven’t cleared up. They want me to trigger immediately to start the cycle over again. Has this happened to anyone else? Fingers crossed I don’t miss the next IVF start date at my clinic!

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, 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 😒

Any recommendations for a good gynaecologist and fertility specialist within the kaiser network in San Francisco Bay Area ?
