HSG pain level vs. endometrial biopsy? I have an HSG this week and did biopsy last week. Biopsy was brutal! I overheard a nurse telling someone else that HSG is actually more painful but I can’t even imagine… really nervous now.

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

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

Any non-SSRI anti-depressants without any sexual side effects (other than Wellbutrin, which seems bad for anxiety)?

Has anyone tried HTP-5 of L-Tryptophan?

Is it normal to feel numb around the holidays? I'm tired, dealing with seasonal affective disorder and a really tough caseload right now. Not in the holiday spirit at all and honestly don't even want to be, I just want to spend the weekend resting. Is it bad that I don't care about it at all this year?

Been feeling pretty great the last few days. Was able to reflect a bit and this Summer/Fall up until about a week ago were some of lowest points I’ve felt in my life. I’m glad I’m doing better now but looking for ways to better manage my emotions. I don’t want to have these extreme highs/lows. Any advice?

Anybody have any interesting articles on Marijuana & COVID-19?

Having twins! 10 weeks pregnant. Meeting with genetic counselor tomorrow to discuss testing options. I’m honestly leaning towards CVS… I want to know as much info as possible at highest accuracy. Did anyone else opt for that kind of invasive testing? Why/why not? The fact that I’m having twins is what’s making me want to jump to that level of invasiveness…

My mom will be coming to the U.S. soon. Can someone provide me guidance on what insurance plan to get and how much it might cost?

Anyone recommend VIB or ETN?

What do people do when you feel really lonely? Just broke up when I thought things were going well, and moved to a new city where I don’t know anyone. Feels lonely and overwhelming. Scoping out therapists too but asking for any stop gap measures I can implement for a month or two.

Has anyone tried nutrafol? Do I need to check with my doctor before I use it? I feel like my hair is much more thin than 5-6 years ago. I’m mid 30s

How do you know if you have anxiety and need medication to calm down a bit, or you’re just a naturally stressed and nervous person? Sounds dumb, but I’m serious. 😬

Got laid off last week. Other than Cobra, looking for any suggestions for healthcare coverage. Thanks in advance.

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.

Why does Deloitte offer 3 HDHP's if their coverage is identical? I compared the UHC, Aetna, and Anthem HDHP plans and didn't see any differences. Am I missing something?

Hi all,

I am currently working as a SAS developer, 1 YEO, but want to switch to data analyst role. What skills should I acquire? All inputs/insights appreciated.

Anyone waitlisted at Wharton have any idea if there’s anything we’re allowed to do to improve odds? Or even how to find out? I didn’t see a lot of information...

For those ending work this summer could you help clarify how COBRA works exactly? I read that it’s retroactive up to 180 days, so does that mean I essentially don’t need to sign up and start paying unless I go 180 days? If something were to happen I can sign up for cobra after the fact and be covered?

I have been teaching students with special needs for 21 years now. The class size used to be 12:1. Now it’s 15:1, but you can have up to 18 students with the variance. Now my Principal said that you can have up to 19 students!!!! Is anyone else noticing that the self contained class is getting larger?

Due to Covid, I was let go from my firm after only a few months of working there. I’ve since been rehired in the last few months. This is a new area of law for me and I’m not enjoying it at all. How soon could I think about leaving? I’m going into my fourth year and don’t want to get pigeonholed.

Can you start this if you’re 34? Kind of late to the game or nah?

Reading Velvet Rage tonight and haha childhood trauma machine go brrrr !

Hi! In the process of switching from South FloRida to PA again to work at a hospital but making the same money? The switch would open me to be closer to family for support and the have a nursing prog,since the benefits are attractive and I’m looking forward to the future growth. The thing is they claim i only have experience of 7 years and offering me less than what I make now. I wanna go, but any suggestions on this negotiation cause I would still need to pay for a place to live and expenses.

How to get a network engineer job in FAANG companies? Please share your suggestions.

Hello,

I need some help/suggestions. My YOE is 1.3 yrs and my tech stack is Python, SQL, and i have worked on the tool Informatica (Informatica is an ETL tool)

I am trying to switch and I want to change my tech domain. I want to become a data analyst.

But whenever I appear for interviews, I don't get shortlisted after the final round, because I have work experience in Informatica. Honestly, i don't want to work on this tool anymore and I want to change the technology domain.

Has anyone used a nurse to administer the IVF injections? The PIO injections are freaking me out and idk where to begin.

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

My wife is a Fragile X carrier, so with this and trouble conceiving we are doing IVF and doing genetic testing on the embryos. There were 2 options Natera and Cooper. We went with Natera - and they take so long!! It sounds like it will be months before they send sample collection kits to us and close family members, then use those samples to develop a customized embryo test. Natera is fine with us beginning hormone stimulation in parallel, but our RE won’t allow it (no clear explanation why).

Did any of you experience anxiety from IVF stims? I’m on day 6 and about to lose my mind from anxiety. And it isn’t anxiety about the outcome or anything like that. I just feel like I’m going crazy!

Giving away 4 vials of menopur (EXP 06/2023) and 4 crinone progesterone gel 8% (EXP 05/2024). Unused. Please you need it, please DM me. You only need to pick them up or pay for shipping! Based in Boston.

I understand that PwC reimburse the elective egg freezing procedure by sending you the money through our paychecks (and will be taxed as income). I wonder if we can use the amount for itemized medical deductible when we file our tax return?

27F. My work covers up to $20K in egg freezing and storage. Any reasons NOT to do it in the next year?

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.

Anyone starts their ivf stims more than 3 days past their period? Any success stories?

Quick question, I’m starting timed intercourse with medication. I received my ovidrel injextion 4 months ago. It’s been in the fridge. I’m anticipating a potential trigger today or tomorrow (measured today with one 17mm and one 18mm) waiting to hear back on my hormone levels. I assume the fridge was a good call as that’s what the pharmacy reccomended. Should I take it out now? Leave it in till last minute? Thoughts comments?
