Have been temping for the last 5 months and didn’t ovulate even once
I am losing hope

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

Hi folks, has anyone been prescribed progesterone to help prevent recurrent early miscarriage? If so, did any of the side effects really hit you hard?

How have you maintained your mental stability while serving?

I’m honestly asking - why did God allow Coronavirus to hit us? It hits the old people - many of whom have lived good lives...

Finally got my first dose of the COVID vaccine. I find it sad I haven’t been this excited about anything in a long time.

What kind of dietary resources do you point your patients do when discussing nutritional changes to your patients for their annual exams?

HR question. When switching companies and the new company has a 30 day waiting period before health insurance starts, how do y'all handle insurance coverage? Cobra wouldn't be an option as resigning doesn't qualify.

I'm super duper sick. Like the sickest I've been in years. (Three negative covid tests.) I've been completely laid up in bed for a week. I have two working breed dogs (cattle dog and catahoula leopard). They are going out of their minds with boredom. So I ordered a pheasant toy and pheasant scent online. Crisis averted...

Hows the Covid situation in the city? I'm heading back to Atlanta tomorrow after 2 weeks - wondering how crazy it is.

10/13 check-in: Happy Friday Eve! What are everyone’s workout plans for today?

For me- mostly a rest day. May try to go some kettlebell swings and squats later.

What's the difference between an alcoholic and someone who drinks too much? After two months of three drinks pretty much every day, I'm wondering where the line is and how you know you're crossing it.

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

Have you experienced depression caused by working in really challenging workplace environments? I am worried this will carry into new roles.

After working a couple jobs that weren’t a good fit I’ve exhibited a lot of procrastination, hopelessness, self isolation, and just lack of care. I’m in therapy but also want to make sure I come into any new role with this in mind so I can do my best.

People are lying when they say they like the cold and don’t mind five months of this weather right?

Quick question I’m new to running - I got some new shoes yesterday and ran in them today is it common to lose some time initially? If so how much per mi. Just trying to see if this was a mental thing?

New product idea: Hydrocolloid face mask! Not patches or stickers, but a full face mask made of hydrocolloid! Anyone in?? 😂

I'm looking to join a gym but I would love to find one where I don't have to deal with overly cheery staff. I'm really wanting a gym that I can access with a keycard at any time and not have to deal with anyone and if I could sign up online without having to take a tour and hear the sales pitch, that would be amazing. Does a place like this exist?

About to make a big move to MBB in London inshalla but worried about work-deen balance (long hours, time pressure, social events). Any folks got tips / willing to discuss their experiences?

Any writers here working remotely full time? If so, how’d you manage to swing that? And is it hard to be a remote writer in pharma?

I am a beginner, and just started to explore jobs on cloud side and my major is cloud computing I want some suggestions from you experienced people who are already in these companies (big 4), Microsoft, Amazon, google etc.
1 helpful suggestion = 1 prayer for long weekend.🙏🇸🇴

What should you be doing in 90 days notice period?

For companies that use platforms like Greenhouse to gather recruiting feedback, what do you do with the data? If you receive a negative from a candidate, do you black flag the candidate for future interviews?

I'm coming to the end of a contract term and being converted to FTE.

The offer was presented to me by the hiring manager and not HR/Recruiter. To me it is a lower base salary offer than expected, so I asked for info on the total compensation package (base, benefits, bonus, stock/rsu, etc.), which I was told about when they took me on under the contract with the intention to convert.

Hiring manager sends me an email with only standard benefits, no bonus, etc. Are these red flags?

I graduated last year and was promised a full time salary of 60k (marketing). However, my start date was exactly when Covid hit hard and everyone froze their hiring process and took salary cuts, so my company cut my TC in half. I was loyal to my company and it didn’t hit hard until now. They’re starting to hire many more people in a diff department which makes me think they have the budget now. How should I start and navigate this conversation? Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

With the CDC updating it’s guidance about Covid spreading through the air, do you guys recommend any good air purifiers?

Does anyone else feel like their social skills went down during the pandemic? My new anxiety makes retail so hard.

Does it matter more for someone in the company division (e.g. BizOps) your targeted role is in to refer you than someone in a completely different company division?

Just me or is Sterling an incompetent BG check company?

Proud of myself for averaging over 10k steps/day for the past two weeks after a pretty sedentary June and July (averaging 5k steps/day). I’m aiming to average 12k steps/day this week.

Art Basel. My first time what do you recommend?

I recently transitioned from corporate finance to IA. I have a little bit of downtime. What resources do you recommend to help build my skillset and assist with the transition?

My wife just got a job in LA and we’re moving around the first of the year. Any recommendations for a mid-level copywriter? Both agency and neighborhood advice would be welcome!

If you’re looking for a media job, I saw lots of them at RPA, Saatchi, Mullen, Hearts & Science

Did everyone think their agency looked after them this year? In what was such a messed up year.

Anyone else out there feel like they’re the only single one?

Hi folks, has anyone been prescribed progesterone to help prevent recurrent early miscarriage? If so, did any of the side effects really hit you hard?

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...

How should I interpret 3.37 AMH in a 35yr old? Is it good or not so good?

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?

Has anyone here had a difficult recovery post-egg retrieval? It’s been 3 days and I’m still in a lot of pain. The medical team said I should expect to be uncomfortable for 5-7 days or more due to the high number of eggs retrieved (=very swollen ovaries) and it will take 2 weeks to get back to normal.

I have my baseline appointment for FET tomorrow… our first transfer cycle since a loss in March. I’m pretty scared considering how the last one ended. Can anyone share their story of a successful pregnancy after experiencing a loss?

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.

Im 29, husband is 28. We just recently got married. Ive been unsure if i want kids my whole life but as time has gone on, ive felt more of the desire. My husband definitely wants at least one child. We both arent “ready” now though. Got my AMH tested - its 2.01 , FSH 5.9. My doctor said its nothing to worry about but i know it goes down with time. She didnt recommend i go to a clinic or freeze my eggs. I dont want to rush into motherhood but i also worry about waiting & the risk that poses

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 😒

I’m waiting for the genetic tests to come in for two embryos. Thinking of preparing for a transfer day one of my next cycle (taking meds like progesterone) before knowing the results. Bad idea ?

Confirmed 1st BFP after almost 1yr TTC. Scheduled the prenatal visit for Sept. Anything I should do (or not do) in the early weeks / Anything that might be surprising but is normal? TIA!

can anyone share thier stories of ivf at weill cornell nyc?

Took my first round of Clomid 50 mg this month and learned today that my progesterone levels are low and I likely I didn’t ovulate. I feel discouraged. Been ttc for 10 months now and I learned recently that Im not ovulating. I didnt think It would be hard getting pregnant as I had regular cycles before covid. Anyone had luck ovulating and conceiving with an increased dosage of clomid? Looking for encouragement and success stories to lift my spirits

I have my frozen embryo transfer next month. I just got my “schedule”. Coming in day 2 and day 12, again day16 and a few other days here and there. All I could think about was how in the world am I...

Have been TTC for 6 months (with no luck) and just found out I have both Addison’s Disease and Hashimoto’s. I had never heard of either… How do they affect fertility? Can they be treated to enable natural conception?

Anyone took a leave of absence, or knows anyone who did, to try to conceive? What was that like?
