Feeling a bit down after a negative pregnancy test today - we’ve officially passed the six month mark of TTC. I’m 33, progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid all look normal but my cycles suck. They will regularly stretch into the 40 - 50 day range but OB seems really unconcerned. I keep getting the “it’s totally normal to take this long” 😕 I’m scared we’ll waste a year just to find out there is a problem.

How long are people being positive with covid for?? I know some people that are symptom free for over 2-3 weeks but still coming back positive?? How is this possible?? Are they contagious?

Just venting - In my 50 and tired of monthly periods with no end in sight. According to blood/hormone tests I’m pre/peri menopause.

Sigh. Does this get better at any point?

Have any of you worked in FM and then started practicing HIV medicine? I am working toward an AAHIVS credential, but am wondering if I need to leave my current practice vs try to incorporate treatment where I am. No one else treats HIV in my clinic currently, and PAs in my clinic are not currently paneled but I have a lot of autonomy in my team despite technically seeing patients with an MD listed as PCP

This virus had already been where I live back in December, maybe November. I would almost bet my life on it.

35+4 and almost certain I have the flu - cough, aches, low grade fever, headache, very sore throat from coughing. I’m seeing the doctor today, but how have you all coped if you’ve been here? This is miserable - Delsym only works so well, I had wanted to avoid Tylenol but need it for fever, and I have too many big meetings to not dial in today. 🤒🥱

Billable hour question: is anyone else just completely incapable of keeping up with your time? I’ve been an attorney for 3 years now and tried everything I can think of to figure this out but I just can’t do it. It’s the same thing at the end of every month - staying up late entering in an entire month of time. Luckily most clients I work for are flat fee/percentage based but I still feel like a failure for not being able to do this thing that seemingly every other lawyer can do. Any tips?

Girl on Tinder: "Let's get drinks and talk about our travels"
Me: I'm down... Something something something high thoughts by me
Girl on Tinder: Oh you smoke? I had an ex who was an addict. Don't think this will work out.
And I'm not worthy of dating because I smoke? I'm so tired of the stigma of weed when you could smoke an ounce in a night and the worst that could happen is you fall asleep. Alcohol on the other hand is literally a poison..
