I’m in my TWW and just found out I had close contact with someone with Covid. As if I needed more to stress about! 🤞 I stay negative and our little embaby is sticking!

Anyone have experience with ketamine or ayahuasca?

CRAZY STUFF GOING ON!!! An angry customer SPAT on one of my coworkers today when he told her to put a mask on for everyone's safety. Mask mandates are lifted where I'm from yet the majority of people tend to wear theirs. I'm sure this lady was from out of state so it's interesting to see the different responses between states. My coworker got a rapid test and he seems to be negative for now, I hope it stays that way.

Curious what other opportunities are out there for licensed insurance agent in P&C, Health/Life/Medicare. No sales.

Has anyone had a family member or you yourself struggle with an autoimmune disease?

I recently tried quitting everything last Sunday, with drew all last week and then relapsed Friday, Saturday and Sunday worst withdrawals I ever had (cold sweats, shaking, wasn’t sure I would survive). I’m through the worst of it now but any advice? Thought about rehab but can’t stop work. This is probably my 9th time trying to go sober during the pandemic. I live alone so the isolation with the pandemic has extremely escalated my usage to the point of about a bottle of a day on weekdays

Anyone got fever or chills after second vaccine shot ? How did you deal with it? Tylenol?

Anyone have some pregnancy safe healthy lunch recommendations?

I left my old firm and started my own firm in September. I have already started to get client referrals and so far I am working from my home only - because it’s COVID time and people know Zoom now. I do estate planning and elder law, which lends itself to meeting clients at their locations when needed. I had a client drop off documents I need to review at my house this week and this was fine with the client. Do any attorneys here open their own home to clients ever for meetings?

🐠 who were counseled out & now unable to start a new job due to COVID-19 hiring freezes—were you able to get unemployment? If so, how? Not sure how to answer the application questions about how/why I left the company. TIA for your help

Long one - one of my best friends (10+ years) and I had a drink last week, I told her of my recent ADHD diagnosis and how we had noticed the generational trend (my mum & grandad as very similar symptoms wise and they acknowledge this, but not diagnosed). The friend mentioned her therapist has suggested she may had ADHD (inattentive type) - she then told me a few things like how she's absolutely neurotypical and she's never associated herself with neurodiversity etc, she made a ...

I bring decades of laboratory leadership experience to my position best described as Technical consulting (SOP creation, staying audit ready, troubleshooting instruments and processes, etc). I've learned due to short staffing and unavailability of skilled staff, some of my peers were placed into their positions out of necessity to manage a department that grew exponentially during the COVID surge. Is it acceptable to request a salary increase if I am training my peers to also be great leaders

I have an upcoming interview within LCS for the Performance vertical. Would anyone here be able to shed some light on what types of businesses this vertical works with? Seems a bit different than the traditional “retail” “media” “healthcare” etc. (Or does it just have to do with the term performance advertising)

Is there anyone here???? I have an IP question to discuss but it seems like it’s a ghost town

My sister in India is struggling with IVF. What would the process be to donate an egg to her over there or get them her in the USA to do it ? Thanks a lot . Also if you know of great fertility clinics in India please recommend !

IVF is such an emotional rollercoaster, and our healthcare system doesn't make it any easy! Just got ripped by pharmacy. They charged 17K for round 1 drugs, which exhausts my 10K pharmacy claim.

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

For those of you who finally got a BFP after years of infertility - when did you announce it to family/friends?

How do you keep yourself sane during the two weeks wait? Going crazy over here.

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

Hi. I have very low AMH, 36 years old & never have been pregnant. I have done 2 IVF cycles this year approx 5 months apart. Each time had only 2 eggs retrieved, 1 fertilization each which lead to the embryo reaching blastocyst stages both times & both came back normal after genetic testing 🤍 talk about beating the statistics odds! 🤞🏻 I now have 2 cutie embryos saved. My husband & I would love to have twins and will be speaking to my doctor about the best options. Twins thoughts?

PwC Fish - I’m considering where to have a baby, either the US or Austria (I currently live in Vienna, but thinking to move home to the US). What’s maternity leave in the US? How much does it actually cost to have a baby with our insurance? In Austria, I can take up to a year off, but only receive €2,000 a month from the government 😳… I don’t think there is any paid leave through the firm. Pregnancy through birth costs are pretty covered by insurance though. Would love your thoughts!

How long did it take to bleed after a 10 cycle of provera? I just finished day 10 yesterday.

Got a beta HcG result and it’s only 26ML. They called me to go back in two days and said it’s very low. Anyone with similar first result that ended up in pregnancy? Obv freaking out.

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

Hi everyone, first fishbowl post here :) I’m currently 4W4D pregnant! I’m excited but also very anxious. I had a miscarriage first time I got pregnant last June and a chemical pregnancy in Jan. I REALLY want this to work and need to obviously keep my stress and anxiety in check. I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?

How are all the 2WWers doing? Three days to go over here, the struggle is real :)

How do people stay focused and engaged at work when dealing with TTC struggles? It’s weighing on me emotionally and the work doesn’t stop. I find myself getting super annoyed and resentful towards work stress bc I’m dealing with health stuff also.

For those in LA area, any RE recommendations? Also, any indication from your clinics will start new cycles (or any clinics in LA already reopened)?

Has anyone had experience with follicle size discrepancy? I’m trying to freeze my eggs; on day 8/9 ultrasound they counted 4 follicles larger than 11mm, two of which are already mature, 16.7mm and 18.9mm. They also said I have another 5+ in each ovary that are smaller than 11mm. The phone call with the doctor was pretty grim (he basically said we might need to cancel the cycle as 4 follicles is too few for elective freezing). Can the smaller ones maybe catch up? Anyone with a similar experience?
