Has anyone had a D&E? 21 weeks pregnant and after meeting with several specialists the verdict is that we need to terminate for medical reasons 😞. Aside from the obvious emotional devastation, I am trying to figure out what to expect physically?

I am struggling to spend the time to study for the PHR. I have everything I need, but I feel exhausted from the work week every weekend. I’m looking to take it in August.. help? What do I do?

GT have any gym membership promos????

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

If y’all know, I’ve had ongoing issues with my boss about communication. Mainly that I communicate, he doesn’t, then when I stop he gets pissed I stopped. Well, I’ve been battling a cold over the king weekend and today woke up to Pink eye. Didn’t want to spread it so I texted in our office text chat I would be staying home until I was better. No response. Just got an email he is filing as a memo about my pattern of no communication to management about my office presence. What the hell?

Is it just me or is Grey's Anatomy the most overrated medical show still running that should have ended after season 6?

I had a very vivid dream that the gyms in California were opening back up. When I woke up, I had to cry myself back to sleep 😢

How do you all manage exercise and meds? I take vyvanse and have a peloton, but am kinda scared of the heart rate increase combination. I find the vyvanse takes about 2h to kick in and so I try to take it by 6am otherwise I’m dealing with the “hitting me” feeling when at work (which has resulted in some really embarrassing situations). In the evenings, I’m so hungry that a workout is harder to do plus you never know when the work day will end!

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Hello! Any CST/CSFAs on here? I'm curious about your salary and location! My small community hospital was recently bought by a very large hospital system. They gave large raises to 95% of our employees across all specialties (some called what they got "life changing") but our group was overlooked or disregarded with no explanation! Now we are losing employees (4 have put in notices in the last 3 weeks and pretty much everyone is looking). Any suggestions on getting someone to reassess our wage?

Thought I was being really proactive by looking into freezing my eggs at 29. Did the initial testing and am floored by how poor my indicators are (amh = .7, etc). ☹️ anyone else find out like this? Completely didn’t expect it.

I’m about to undergo elective egg retrieval (not due to infertility, just preserving my eggs!). Does anyone know if insurance typically covers the medication component (I.e. the injected meds)? I know the cycles themselves won’t be covered since I have no history of infertility. Thank you!

I originally joined this bowl years ago when my husband had to have chemo and I thought we were going to be heading down the IUI/IVF route.

Has anyone tried not putting fertility related treatments through insurance and just going straight to OOP? Am wondering if that would be less expensive since I’ve been told that doctors and insurance companies mutually set the rates when things get processed through insurance.I’m at the beginning of this journey and already drowning in bills. It seems that even visits to the OBGYN to discuss test results related to fertility are not covered, let alone the tests and ovulation induction meds :(

Just tested positive for COVID and I was supposed to start a medicated FET cycle tomorrow (would have begun taking estrogen pills tomorrow and target transfer date was July 28). Obviously, this cycle has to be called off, but now I’m worried about how soon we can get back to it. Anyone else been in this situation? Can you tell me how it impacted your timing and if there were any long term effects?

Hurry up eggs, I need my retrieval to happen BEFORE Thanksgiving.

Ok second IVF. 12 eggs 8 made to day 5 and now going thru PGA test. Fingers crossed... need some good energy and confidence before the FET again!

My husband and I have gone through all of the preliminary fertility testing with our RE - so blood work, Karyotype testing, baseline bloodwork and ultrasound on day 3 of cycle, HSG test, sperm analysis, and a genetic screen. Zero abnormal results found… we’re both 29 and healthy. Have been trying for about 14 months and have had 2 early miscarriages, 6 months apart. Anyone in a similar situation? Our follow up/treatment appointment is in 2 weeks, feeling anxious about next steps!
