Only worked at my new job 60 days and I’ve had an epiphany. I will be quitting this new job in 2 weeks to move my life elsewhere. Should I feel guilty? I actually feel very relieved.

Most jobs I've seen these days have a sort of unspoken 90 day trial... and companies wouldn't think twice to end that if they weren't relatively satisfied with your performance. I think we should have the same option basically.

As long as your epiphanies are a relatively rare occurrance, I wouldn't sweat it. My cousin had "epiphanies" with nearly every new job he had, and it became problematic. He finally had an epiphany that he needed to stick with a job for a while, and it's worked out for him surprisingly well.

Depends on the epiphany.

I’m curious- what was your epiphany!! Where you headed? Super exiting no matter what, making the decision is the hardest part

Please tell us where the job opening will be in 2 weeks. Lol

Is genetic carrier screening prior to starting an ivf cycle necessary? I tested and found some disorders. Now my RE won’t start my cycle until my partner is tested.

I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes. I can’t tell a significant difference yet aside from maybe getting a little better sleep. I saw a new doctor (male) to get my prescription refilled and he seems to have a different philosophy than my last doctor (female). He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…

This job feels like it’s killing me slowly. Physically, spiritually, emotionally. Working to stay positive and opportunistic. Anyone willing to share solutions? I want to be productive and positive.
