Hi Folks. Recently moved to Toronto. Would you have recommendations for dentists in the downtown area ? or a way to find recommendations/reviews for dentists around me? Looking to do a routine checkup/cleaning..

Laid off and feeling too depressed to keep going. Have a month left on the website. I’m too depressed to be anxious at this point. Any kind words would be helpful

Is it possible to be genetically predisposed to gain muscle? Ever since I was little, my doctors always commented on my BMI but never worried given how muscular I was. Since playing sports in high school and now regularly working out (cardio and weights) as an adult, I feel like I always maintain muscle mass, whether I do mostly cardio or not. This has resulted in bulking but now as I’ve tried to cut the past month, I’m not seeing weight loss. I’m counting all calories and feel stronger tho!

Getting married in the Caribbean end of February. Going absolutely nuts with the range of my RSVP emails. Young people “can’t wait, so excited!!!!”, old people “too afraid to travel”. If it were in January I’d prob postpone, but I kinda feel like end of Feb might be ok? And who’s to say if I move it there won’t be another variant. FWIW planning to require rapid tests, the country requires vaccines everywhere, etc but people are either v comfortable or not at all. 😑 no q, just commiserating

Any favorite IG/TikTok accounts that feature healthy recipes??

Hello,

I just wanna say that my head feels better since I take lion's mane extract. I stopped zoning out, I have less narrations in my head simultaneously. I can actually do tasks on almost time. If someone wants to try, it's mandatory to take vitamin c with it. It's a life changer for me. I wanted to share it.

HELP! I feel like I can’t even blink without my COVID patients dying.

Would anyone mind summarising the basics of succeeding in consulting with ADHD?

Context: Diagnosed with ADHD during college recently joined MBB. I've previously managed my ADHD (both before and after diagnosis) with lots and lots of exercise, but this is no longer possible with my new job. Would like to avoid the hard meds if possible.

Has anyone tried getting their CVA? If so, what was your experience like (besides awful I am sure)? Looking to sit for it once I return to the states.

Australia & NZ really sound like they're leading the way in partnering to kill this virus. Pretty neat, and maybe a model for putting politics aside to beat this!

I don’t understand how, but it feels like big law partners don’t get that we are only in this for the money (and they are too). “Experience” only helps me if it translates to future value. And “future” value means something different than it did 30 years ago when most people wanted to make partner.

I’ve been a licensed general lines (2-20) insurance agent for year and a half and have sold around 2M in premium, of which most of it is personal lines (homeowners, DP), and some commercial lines business. Even though I’m licensed to write my own business, the sole producer in the company is my boss. I currently make 35k + 15k in commissions (approximately). Is this a normal salary? Or how much should I be making? Appreciate your help

Hello! I gave an interview with the hiring manager. It went well (at least I believe). Later, I heard back from the hiring manager asking for my availability to discuss "some updates on the role". What does that mean? Anyone has any experience with something like this?

What are the most common side effects you felt / experienced during stims?

I’m in my TWW and just found out I had close contact with someone with Covid. As if I needed more to stress about! 🤞 I stay negative and our little embaby is sticking!

Does anyone have experience with surrogacy? If so, how did you find an agency or surrogate?

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?

After my HSG and SHG I now have to do an MRI of my pelvis because the RE wants a better picture of one of the fibroids. They said if it is pushing into my uterine wall then it needs to be surgically removed. And if that’s not the problem then IVF is the next step. But I don’t want to do IVF nor can I afford to. 😔

I've started my ivf shots (leuprolide and estradiol) for a frozen transfer next month. I got invited to an NFL game in a few weeks that I desperately want to attend but the game would be during my shot time.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I can't imagine the stadium will let me bring needles in. Did you just do the shot early or late and hope for the best?

Has anyone here done surrogacy? We’re starting down that path and I’d love to connect with anyone who has gone through it. Thanks! ❤️❤️

Had my second retrieval yesterday. They got three eggs and two fertilized. So far, this is the exact same thing that happened my last retrieval in January. Three total eggs, two fertilized. They weren't growing super well so we did a fresh transfer for both (and neither stuck).

Feeling a bit discouraged that the same pattern is repeating itself again. Probably will end up doing a fresh transfer for both of these embryos (again). I'm 33 with unexplained low ovarian reserve. Just sucks.

Just found out one of my Fallopian tubes is blocked. Anyone else have this and did you have success getting pregnant without getting the block cleared? Or any specific treatment you went through?

So I knew this coming but… how do you manage to inject yourself the trigger shot? Do you have your partner do it? Im so scared😱

I have been trying to conceive for a year now. I am 34. After 6 months, went to the RE and found that I have prolactinoma and hypothyroidism. I have been taking the medicines for both. Went for one cycle of timed intercourse and Femara + trigger shot led to cysts for a couple of months. Now back to trying naturally. Husband’s semen analysis was normal. What would you recommend? I have been taking the multivites and Coq10. Anything else for Diet, supplements? What should I do.

For those with experience with using a DE - how much did you compensate the donor for a cycle? How long did it take you to find a donor that you were satisfied with? What’s the procedure for testing to see if donor is healthy and capable to donate?

Has anyone needed to be on blood thinners during their treatment? Found out I have Factor V Leiden from the genetic testing/bloodwork I did and the clinic referred me to a hematologist. He said I would need to use heparin throughout the process and for a month after egg retrieval while the estrogen levels come down. Just wondering how common that is & any thoughts/advice appreciated! (Also wondering if the heparin costs would be covered by insurance if the rest is out of pocket)

I have consult with RE coming up next month to potentially start IVF. I’m not happy where I’m (job/company) and looking to switch. Current job has good fertility benefits. Wondering if I switch jobs, do fertility benefits typically kick in as soon as you start or there is a delay when you become eligible? Anyone has gone through this or know?

For those interested in egg donation process, I’m posting a description of the experience which was written by someone who successfully went through it.

This gave me hope and swayed my way to try it

Anyone find a cheaper way to afford IVF? Our insurance doesn’t cover it. Any tricks?? I’ve looked up private insurance and grants but I can’t find anything helpful.

35 female here. 7!months TTC. Going on 8. Had consultation with fertility specialist today. Is it normal to feel hopeful and dejected at the same time?
