I'm a 32 yo female. No partner. No plan to have children anytime soon. I freezed eggs just in case and also my company pays for 50% of the cost. All my tests come out normal compared to my peer. I've just done my first egg freezing circle. 15 eggs were retrieved, 13 are matured. So if I plan to have 2 kids when I'm 40yo, should I do a 2nd circle?

My wife and I need a break. Had our first baby in March and we are worn out (getting better) but very tired. Wife said to me “I need us time”, and she’s never said that in the 3 years we’ve been married. Suggestions on getaways or things to do?

I have one month left to finish my thesis. I know, I’ve screwed up. Anxiety got the best of me. Is there still hope?

Anyone using Datorama? If so, what’s your use case and how’s your experience?

Anyone currently slammed advising hospitals and payers on COVID-19?? What are you seeing in the market?

I don't know for sure that this is an ADHD thing but does anyone else get really irritated by small things or have trouble regulating their emotions? Especially when you take a day off from medication? I feel like the smallest thing can piss me off, especially in the AM. Am I just not a morning person or this a symptom?

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...

Any recommendations on therapy app? Talk space?

I've been following the Supreme Court mess all weekend, and it makes me not want to live in the US anymore. I was raised in a very conservative household and, as a mom, the idea of avoidable abortions makes me incredibly sad. But at the same time, how can people not recognize that eliminating legal abortions is just going to increase maternal mortality rates???

Anyone have a sensitive stomach? Id love to hear some explanations from the crowd that aren’t a serious medical condition - just an above average sensitivity. I don’t think I have IBS, but I get really triggered by certain foods and they just run right through me. Some triggers I know (too much cream / fat, or conversely a large amount of raw vegetables) but other times it feels really random.

I’m moving and need to get a new mattress, single guy, mid 20s, sleep on my stomach, doesn’t have any pain but I loveeee sleeping and will pay for a nice, comfortable mattress. Thanks

How much time in advance did you order your IVF drugs from a mail-in pharmacy (e.g. CVS caremark)? Should I wait until I get my period to order them to make sure I'm not already pregnant or buy them in advance? Waiting for the results of my IUI, but will move directly to IVF if it doesn't work.

My two young toddlers are home from daycare for the next 1.5 weeks for the holidays, and I have off work to watch them. It’s only been 2 days, and I’m so exhausted that I’m counting down the days until I go back to work and they are in daycare. Does anyone have any tips for enjoying this time? I love my kids so much, but how do SAHMs do this every day? I’m so drained already, and I have no patience left…

Just discovered that I am pregnant!! So excited as it has been a long journey of infertility. Any recommendations for prenatal vitamins after getting pregnant?

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.

I’ve done dry January and a lot of weight melted off. I was already shooting to keep it going through to March. For super lean people (borderline Instagram models), do you still drink alcohol after your 20s? I remember a male stripper in Vegas told me he only drank a shot of vodka once a year 😂 and that was the extent of his drinking, but he looked great.

Has anyone gone from ~8-9 years at tech startups (growth/product/mkt) to launching a small city downtown foodtruck/small fast food place? What are the biggest challenges and differences you have faced/would expect to face? I’d assume the first months prior to launch it’ll be mostly administrative stuff but Any advice and/or recommendations would be awesome to hear. Thanks!

Hello Capgeminians,

Attended Sap MM interview last wednesday for Capgemini.. L1,L2 occured same day and got positive response from the Interviewer..Recruiter confirmed only HR discussion is remaining.. Today is monday, still got no call from HR..

Can anyone please give some information when the HR call can come (after how many days of the interview) in general?

Today I was walking back to the hospital from my car some random guy came up to me and asked me for directions while I was still in the lot. I'm new so I told him I didn't know and he literally cussed me out in the parking lot and told me I was a horrible nurse and he was going to get me fired. Meanwhile I am a PHARMACIST. And before you ask yes he was.

Has anyone experienced this? Applied for a job on LinkedIn, first contact with the company is to do a case study then interview. I've never experienced this before. New norm for Corona?

Best Sleeping Remedies and Meds for long-term use when on stimulants? I keep getting poor sleep and it’s killing me!

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

Salam, I have re-made this group after the original one one disappeared. Welcome!

Do you think it’s a fireable offense to interview with another team internally at your company without telling your current manager/team? If not fireable, how bad does it look if your team finds out you’ve interviewed with a couple other teams in the last 6 months?

Sambuca shots for everyone

I need to do some certs now that I have time. Focusing in cloud architect and security. What are the best ways to prep to sit? I heard cloud academy is good. What are the best free sources and can you prep for free and still do fine?

I'm gonna give everyone what they want: dish on the Chicago office. Here, creatives that have won Cannes walk on fucking water and can do no wrong. They walk over everyone else w/ no remorse.

Another "we are having a baby" day from friends. I used to get very excited for everyones babies but I think its taking a huge toll on me now. Instead of being happy for them I cried. I dont want to feel like this. I actually don't even know what am feeling except for I am sad. I don't want to call them don't want to wish them don't want to do anything but I ll have to put up a brave face and maybe send care baskets or host yet another baby shower

So I thought I had Covid - I took 6 tests and they all say the P word..
I’m in utter shock still. TTC 3 years

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

I am suspected for endometriosis. I haven’t tried hormones yet but getting an IUD on Tuesday. Is it worth doing a laparoscopy? I am concerned about the risks. 33F, planning to have kids in the next 2-4 years. Not sure if I should wait and try it out before I get surgery.

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!

I have some leftover meds (retrieval: men, gon, cet. And FET: est, prog, pio) that I’d like to donate. DM me if you have suggestions on where to donate please.

Just cannot get into my job lately. I don’t know if it’s the hormones, the upcoming FET transfer next week, or if I’m truly just over my company. I’ve been there 5 1/2 years. I started out as an executive assistant and last year I created a path for myself for communications. Almost a year into the role, a new manager was brought on, to my surprise. She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant

Who’s done egg freezing? I’m about to start.

Transfer should be happening within a month (🤞🏽) any tips that you’d recommend to prepare for a successful transfer/implantation?

Sharing my story: I carry an abnormal gene in which me and my wife's first child was affected. We decided with our second child to use IVF. We started our journey in January 2021 and my wife went through 4 IVF cycles using my sperm in a 9 month span (her choice). We decided after the 4th round failed to go a different route and use sperm donation to rid us of the gene. During 2022, she went through 4 rounds of IUI and finally got one that stuck. She is now 14 weeks pregnant and due in April 😊

What are some good things to drink besides water? I have PCOS so I need to drop added sugar from my drink choices.

Any recommendations for a good gynaecologist and fertility specialist within the kaiser network in San Francisco Bay Area ?

We’re doing our first transfer after over a year long wait since retrieval. We’re both extremely anxious and nervous at the same time. We have 3 healthy embryos banked - AA girl, BB boy and BB girl. We’re just keen on a healthy child although given a choice we would like to start with a boy. How do you determine which is the best quality embryo ?

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?

Hi all!! Make here but wanted to repost after years of ivf and failures etc today we hit 14 weeks! Everyone here should be positive we had so many rough periods but finally are in a good place !!

Anyone use kindbody for fertility services? What was your experience? Im reading yelp reviews and most people complaining are doing so about the front desk or because they didn’t read the fine print on costs. 🙄Anyone have a good clinical experience and outcome?
