My firm does a firm wide attorney retreat/meeting this summer. I’ll be about 25 weeks pregnant and I have to fly there with my local team/office. I’m very, very nervous about getting COVID while pregnant and I work with people who are generally lax around Covid to begin with. What would you do? Context: pretty much 100% attendance at the meeting. I’m nervous about flying AND the meeting itself.

Everyone says we need to find "a cure for cancer" and YES, definitely, but there are so many different types that we need at least 50 separate cures. More complex than people give it credit for. What does everyone here think?

Gays bottom, how do you clean yourself "down there". This year I started to bottom more. I spent the last 5 years being 99% top, so I don't know how to prepare myself. How much water is too much? And so many other questions...Any other technique?

Anyone who has given up alcohol have any positive stories about reduced anxiety/depression? I’m in my mid 30’s now and have found that even a few glasses of wine heightens my anxiety and depression the next day like it never did before. Trying to figure out how to proceed here.

Has anybody gone through robotic Myomectomy for fibroids and been successfully pregnant? Does it lead to any tissue scaring which may prevent you from getting pregnant?

COVID has made me realize I have no idea what I want to do with my life. My job has been increasingly frustrating, and the salary freezes/loss of benefits has made me resent what I’m doing even more. As a junior I’m not making crazy money and could probably pick up a nannying gig and make the same. Is it crazy for me to take some time to figure out my real goals and do something that doesn’t make me so miserable in the meantime?

I’m overall a health individual, track macros and go to the gym, but man for some reason this last year it has been extremely difficult to stay on my macros and follow my diet. Not sure if it’s the WFH or what, but I’m struggling to stay with it!

Been prescribed Lexapro but can’t get myself to take it. Can anyone share their experience?

Outside of formal wear. Any tips on cheap workout gear? Wanna look hot as my consulting dad bod develops.

I’ve had pain and discomfort lately and visited a gyno this week. When they examined me, they mentioned a endometrial (?) cyst on my ovary that I didn’t process fully, and prescribed low-hormone BC to manage the pain. After the visit, I did research and it appears this is a late-stage result of endometriosis, which I have never been diagnosed with (no previous gynos have ever mentioned it). Has anyone had one or have experience with endometriosis? I’m concerned about my fertility (still young).

Hi all, trying to decide whether or not a move to San Francisco would be worthwhile, currently WFH just north of Toronto as a PM and wondering what the pros and cons of the Bay Area are compared to here, thanks!

Those that were positive with Covid, when did you leave your house and stop isolating? Was it after the 10 days or once your symptoms disappeared?

Ughhhh I feel so nauseous all day every day. I’m 8 weeks today and miserable. I have never felt such a constant unwavering nausea.

Want to try making my own cannabutter. Has anyone donor? How much weed should I use - 40grama? And how long to boil w butter?

Tell me about your wellness/glow-up routine. I need fun ideas to be inspired to live healthier.

I’ve already had cervical cancer (last year) and have been cancer free. Now have a hormone replacement specialist I have to see annually. Yesterday was the visit and she randomly decided to do a breast exam and found a lump. Couldn’t get me in for a diagnostic mammogram until next week. Came home and relapsed - it was not a full-on bender but I drank. How do I not beat myself up and just get up and keep going? Alcohol is the WORST thing for any cancer esp breast cancer. WTF is wrong with me!?

Servus zusammen,

T1/T2 steigt man ja nach dem Master mit ca 80 ein, bin in ner T2 und bin inkl. Bonus bei ca 76k Entry (ca 83k nach 8 Monaten).

Das klingt für mich ja eigentlich ganz gut, wenn man hier allerdings auf Fishbowl unterwegs ist, liest man von den Amis schon ganz andere Summen wie 150k TC; Wie lässt sich das denn vergleichen? Deren Savings-Rate muss doch extrem hoch sein?

Davon abgesehen, wie strukturiert ihr eure Finanzen? Kann von den 3k netto ca 1/2 zur Seite legen..

Hi fishes,
I'm currently attending lot of interviews, some interviewers are courteous, introduced them, their work experience, what they do and then ask me to introduce myself. While there are interviewers who don't even tell their name or anything, just join the interview and start asking questions, some interviewers don't even apologize if they join late.
One thing I noted is, these guys are generally not managers or HR, someone who have 1 or 2 years more experience than me.
Any experiences?

Anyone experience exhaustion setting in at the end of second trimester? First trimester came with exhaustion like I have never experienced before and then most of second trimester has been more or less back to normal energy levels. Currently at 26 weeks and have been totally dragging for the past week or more. Does anyone have tips for getting through this?

Wow I am so tired. I’m 12, almost 13 weeks and the fatigue has just hit me like a ton of bricks these past few weeks. It’s making it hard to focus or put in effort with work. Normally, this behavior would bother me… but I kind of don’t care? Anyone else relate?

8 weeks pregnant, no sign of morning sickness. Should I be scared?

Anyone else think the What to Expect app is complete garbage??!! Seems like the information about the baby’s development and my body changes don’t cite any scientific sources and seems as though the app’s sole purpose is to get me to buy sponsored products. Is there anything better for us?

I’m at 11 weeks but stopped having nausea, fatigue, and sore breasts. I don’t feel pregnant at all and that wasn’t the case a few days ago. I know it could be normal but I can’t help but assume the worst. Did anyone feel the same way? Is it normal to feel “normal” this early?

I’m 16 weeks and my doctor recommended AFP testing to determine neural defects. We already did NT and NIPT which came back low risk. She said it’s to determine if we need to be doing an early anatomy scan sooner than 20 weeks. Anyone else done the AFP testing? It caught me by surprise because she hadn’t mentioned it at any of our prior appointments

Has anyone done CVS or/and Amniocentesis? How painful? Thanks!

Any women here struggle with hemmroids after a vaginal birth?

If so, did you see a colorectal surgeon to get them tied or remediated after pregnancy? I am sure they are here because I am pregnant and had them bad on first pregnancy around 32 weeks.

10 weeks, some spotting today. Have a US booked Wednesday. Hoping for the best, but worried nonetheless

I had *just* gotten back into running (2 weeks) when I found out I’m pregnant! Great news, but would you keep running? Doctor says it’s up to me.

Did you’ll make changes to the products you’ll use once you got your BFP? Like body wash, face wash, hand wash, dish soap etc?

Hello! I’m only about 4 weeks pregnant, so super early. I am about to go on vacation and thankfully did a quick search on some “dos and donts” for the first trimester. I am v disappointed to see I shouldn’t do saunas and hot tubs as my vacation was really planned to be all relaxation. But it got me thinking, could you all share the most surprising pregnancy do or don’t you’ve encountered? I feel like I just need a master list cause there seem to be so many limitations 😭

Just Venting : So , I am 5W4D pregnant from our fifth FET. Started spotting like light brown since yesterday and also been cramping back pain and lower abdomen. I am also feeling wet down there looks like more discharge. Called my RE and he asked me to rest with my legs elevated. I am worried now though doctor assured it’s all okay unless I am bleeding .

I'm not showing yet, but the idea of people touching my belly in the future freaks me out. Is there a way to handle unwanted touching (without being rude)?
