I’m so sad. I’m 5 weeks, 4 days into my first pregnancy and started bleeding yesterday morning. Went to my OBGYN and said it’s very possible this is a miscarriage, however, my cervix was still closed at the time. I’m 29 and have no family history of miscarriages or abnormalities. I’m taking my 2nd blood test tomorrow to see if my HCG levels are falling (bad sign) since my first test. I stopped bleeding this afternoon so lasted ~24 hours... I’m so confused and sad and emotionally drained. 😓

I remember snacks pre-covid: m&ms and trail mix along with the normal cadre of coffee, tea etc.

I’m nyc based but traveling to visit family in GA and FL. Should I pretend like I haven’t gotten the vax yet and get a third booster shot while I’m down there? Can’t get a third one in nyc bc they register everyone in a database. Also, it’s been six months since I got the second shot and I’m worried it’s going to become less effective.

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

Looking for a good dentist in river north. I have been going to river north dental group for last 5 years. Lately I have experienced very bad services.

The only thing I look forward to on the weekend is drinking a beer or two. I had one beer on Friday. One on Saturday. I know that's not a lot by some standards but I miss going to my gym to unwind. I can't get that escape at home.

Admittedly I don’t know the solutions to a lot of our world’s problems but would it be so bad to just keep some of these social issues out of politics? Let people love/marry who they want and let women decide their own medical needs. You want to marry a man or woman? Doesn’t matter to me! You want to give birth to your child? Fine by me! You want to terminate your pregnancy because of whatever reason? Fine by me!

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 😊

Fellow KPMG, anyone with aetna pos II plan? It seems like you have a 35,000 lifetime maximum.

Questions:
1. Does the letrazole count towards the 35 lifetime maximum?

Any other advice or insight would be appreciated.

Hello. Hoping to see if anyone has inputs here - I’m going through IVF and my egg retrieval is ~10 days from now. However, my husband tested positive for covid earlier this week.
