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.

I had *just* gotten back into running (2 weeks) when I found out I’m pregnant! Great news, but would you keep running? Doctor says it’s up to me.

I’ve googled results but would like unbiased/unsponsored recommendations from this bowl. About 6 mos ago, I started running 4 miles per day outdoors. I live in the Dallas, TX area and it’s starting to get chilly. What should I wear to run outside when it’s 30 degrees, 40 degrees, and 50 degrees?

Can anyone tell me if BOA / Bank Of America drug test? I need to get outta Wells. They’ve been stressing me out so much I’ve been smoking like a chimney.

2/27/22 weekend check-in!
How are you all doing, exercise-wise, physically, mentally, and emotionally?

Has anyone had Braxton-Hicks during second trimester? Any concerns?

Random thought. I would describe the tiredness you feel in pregnancy like a heavy stone tied to you that just drags you down and you’re too tired to care or try to fight it.

For me it’s not super constant or frequent but when I get that tired I feel like I become part of my mattress. 😂😴

Hpw hard is it to crack into the supplement/wellness industry? I've seen a lot of people on social media go this route, and I'm very into fitness so it's something that interests me. Does anyone have any intel?

I tested my embryo and got a “no result “. Anyone with success stories ?

Does anyone know a good psychiatrist in NJ ?

Anyone got fever or chills after second vaccine shot ? How did you deal with it? Tylenol?

I am trying to get an ADHD diagnosis, as my primary care and myself both think I could have it (runs in the fam). How many of y’all got diagnosed by a psychiatrist? Or did you have to do the extensive 4ish hour testing?

My psychiatrist said most psychiatrists won’t diagnose + give meds for adhd but the testing can get so expensive so I want to know if I should see someone else

Can one suddenly be diagnosed with PCOS. I had regular periods till end of last year. I had a miscarriage last May and then tried IUIs and harmone injected timed intercourses, with no success. Contd

For female consultants - anyone experienced with egg freezing? Considering it and looking for practical advice i.e. 1) best locations / clinics globally (quality/cost wise) 2) estimated cost, one off and recurring 3) success in actually conceiving & giving birth 4) dos and donts / regrets 5) any other relevant considerations

I’ve taken Adderall for several years & it has helped a lot for my ADHD. However, recently I have been increasingly overwhelmed with balancing work, school, & home life. I am really struggling to manage my symptoms even while taking the maximum ER dosage. I recently started taking Strattera as well, but haven’t noticed much improvement. My doctor has suggested switching to Vyvanse instead. What are your thoughts on Vyvanse vs Adderall? Has anyone has had more success with it?

I am so behind with my preventive medicine at 45. I have a strong HX of certain cancers within my family and have had abnormal findings on tests in the past. My PCP is in the Boston hospital I work at and still won’t let me schedule them and it’s making me uneasy. Am I being unreasonable to ask that at least they be scheduled knowing they are likely going to be months ago? Only so much you can do on a tele-visit?

How are things going in your area now that cities have more or less dropped all mitigation measures like mask mandates and vaccine mandates?

Has anyone seen the clear masks that nurses made for lip reading?? Incredible!

How are people managing communication and exec presence with ADHD?
During meetings I tend to get off track and sometimes even form words as my thoughts are forming. So my points are a bit incoherent or shape up at the end versus the start

It's Friday people!

What’re you NYC 🌈🐠 up to this weekend

Does UBS provide laptop?
I am hearing from HR that laptops are not issued. If that is the case how does WFH happen and how does flexibility work?
Any inputs would be really helpful

Hi,
I have recently received an offer from Infosys for SAPBWHANA associate consultant profile. Can someone please throw the light on growth prospects as I don’t have SAP background. YOE- 2.5 years, MBA

Did a teladoc consultation today and got confirmed for ADHD. Was asked to go on medication given nature of job. Was told side effects are negligible after 30 years of age. Thoughts?

I’m working on starting my own online show where I act as the news anchor and cover what I think are the most important stories of the week, but I feel like I lack the personality/presence to carry out that role.

I’m so done with sales. I’m burnt out and uninspired with my job. The pay is nice, but I need something more fulfilling and less stressful. I want to be able to keep working while I figure out my “why” but I don’t want to rip my hair out in the process. *7 YOE, 6 mid market, 1 enterprise* Any ideas for an easy transition job away from sales that isn’t a giant pay cut?

Question related to relocation

Did you guys used vendors mentioned on relocation letter or used other vendors for ticketing or movers and packers?

NYC fish. Can anyone recommend an ob-gyn. Not currently pregnant, have some health issues that will need to be monitored once I am pregnant and my current doctor is a solo practitioner that I don’t jive with. Any advice or recommendations welcome!

Received medications for IVF process! Just looking at the box and so many medicine-I feel so Overwhelmed! Posting here for some mental support

Hi everyone, first fishbowl post here :) I’m currently 4W4D pregnant! I’m excited but also very anxious. I had a miscarriage first time I got pregnant last June and a chemical pregnancy in Jan. I REALLY want this to work and need to obviously keep my stress and anxiety in check. I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?

Has anyone used a loan to cover the cost of IVF treatments? If so, what lender did you go with and how was the experience? Would you have done anything differently?

How do you deal with the stress of having appointment after appointment during working hours, while being unable to be clear about why/where you’re going?
My wife works in the corporate world and is - unfortunately, rightfully - afraid that the knowledge of our IVF process would destroy chances of her possible imminent promotion. Going for appointments in the middle of the day (early am when possible) forces her to lie - which is a horrible situation to be in. What have others done?

I'm planning on doing a fresh transfer this cycle (today is cycle day 2) with SGF, and they want me on birth control until 9/21. Isn't that too long or is this a normal timeframe?

Traveled for the first time this week since COVID and got the dreaded “do you have kids?” question at team dinner. Him-“do you have kids?” Me- “No, I don’t.” Him-“Oh good! That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩

My RE is saying my ovulation is concerning. They are not able to see the follicles grow before ovulation and ovaries were small post ovulation too. All my labs are normal and periods super regular. What could be wrong? RE says he can’t say anything until we do ultrasounds next cycle.
