I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who shares in this group. It truly helps me stay sober. I am approaching 12 months sober but have been struggling lately. While I have not relapsed, I’ve been close. Normally, before I get out of bed, I write down my reason to stat sober for the day, but lately the reasons have been lousy at best. But reading about everyone’s struggles and successes has helped get me through this past month. So thank you all for the inspiration to keep going strong!

I have a bachelor's in Architecture from the university of DC and I have 5 years of experience but I've been out of the game since 2019 due to unfortunate life events. I've been working in customer service recently and I know that I could be making at least twice more in my field. I lost everything including my portfolio and I don't want to have to start over. Does anyone know of a firm that would hire (remotely) or have suggestions?

Sooooo.....if somehow the unfathomable and ridiculous occurs and DC becomes the 51st state, we’ll have two Washington’s. Can’t have that, so one will need a new name. Care to share any possibilities? 🤮🤮🤮

Looking for some advice from fellow fishes here. How important do you all think it is to have a second baby ? We have a 2 year old now and we are trying for our 2nd. We have been trying for over a year now and started fertility treatment recently. I am not looking forward to IUI, IVF etc especially since we don’t have any much help and my husband and I both have full time jobs. Is it a deal breaker for our kid not to have a sibling ? Is it going to be worth the pain to go through fertility?

This gave me hope and swayed my way to try it

Anyone dealt with early second trimester miscarriage with PGT normal embryos after FET? We transferred two AA normal embryos-- one was a blighted ovum and just lost the other early in second tri. If you have, what did you do differently the next time around for more success? Getting old and just crushed at losing both our normal embryos and 6-9 months.

I feel like the fertility process is pulling my hubs and I apart. We’re both not great at communication, but I feel like this stressful process just is not bringing us together at all. I can’t vocalize what I need (because I don’t actually know what I need) and hubs is stressed and I feel like he’s drinking more and just not talking about his feelings. Anyone else navigating this? I don’t even know how to broach this topic. I am all about therapy, has anyone benefitted from couples therapy?

Any recommendations for vitamins for the men? Dealing with male infertility.

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

Freezing eggs. Tomorrow is the egg retrieval. Hormones are through the roof. Please tell me that 1) it doesn’t hurt, 2) these feelings aren’t real (it’s getting crazy in my head)
