Most times people are saying don’t use the scale as your on measurement of progress. Been opposite for me. This is my first time actually sticking to a plan. I am finally down 10.2 lbs. I am happy to see the scale number finally be under 200 again but, I don’t think I look very different. At how many pounds down will you start to actually look like you’re losing weight?!

For those struggling with depression, what were some early symptoms you had? I’m having a hard time determining if I’m in a rut or am dealing with early signs of depression. I’ve lost interest in many things, feel as though I’m just here living each day the same as the last, no motivation, low libido, doomed outlook on the future, but not necessarily sad.

Anyone got or knows someone else got covid after being fully vaccinated?

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I have really been struggling with work lately. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the winter and prescribed adderall. While it helps me get up and start my day, I still completely lack motivation to actually do anything even as simple as responding to an email. Prior to the ADHD diagnosis I battled with a panic disorder for about the last decade and was prescribed xanax. However my doc didn’t feel comfortable with both scripts so I no longer (cont)

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.

Hi everyone, I’m in need of prayers. My mom was admitted into the hospital recently, but they just found some nodules in her lungs. Their default diagnosis is cancer, and she does have a past history of colon cancer. Please keep her and my family in your prayers. Nothing has been finite, but I can’t help but prepare for the worst & hope for the best. The only thing getting me through this is my faith in God. I do hope this message encourages you to hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight ❤️

I have an offer to a commercial real estate company in hand. My current brokerage (residential focus) wants me to pay $3000 penalty since I’m breaking the contract and leaving. I’m financially struggling and 3k is a big number to pay now. The new job will be paying me $2000/month up until the first year only. Is it wise to pay or stick around in residential sales just to avoid that penalty?

Just graduated law school with honors but don’t have a job lined up. I’m thinking about just going solo and starting my own firm after taking the bar in Sept. Finances are not a problem. Planning to practice IP transactions/prosecution/litigation. I have work exp/clerk/extern but no associate exp. This climate is crazy and I think I can grab a lot of smaller work myself through my own networks and be my own boss. Also currently grabbing an mba part time. Thoughts? Advice?

Is anybody going through the egg freezing or completed it recently and also a virgin. I am in my 30s, wondering if it would be an extremely painful process? Need help, no judgements please.

First IUI cycle failed. 🙃 I hate everything

Freezing your eggs, is it worth it? Both in terms of the toll on your body and the aftermath

Anyone find a cheaper way to afford IVF? Our insurance doesn’t cover it. Any tricks?? I’ve looked up private insurance and grants but I can’t find anything helpful.

So I knew this coming but… how do you manage to inject yourself the trigger shot? Do you have your partner do it? Im so scared😱

Has anyone experienced repeat early miscarriage and chemical pregnancies with PGS tested embryos? Had 3 so far, all good quality embryos (AA or AB) and lining always looked good (>9mm, trilaminar). Also tested TSH levels and those are good. Seems really unusual, trying to figure out if there’s something I’m missing.

Can anyone in the Charlotte area recommend a good, caring fertility clinic? Every single one I've researched has some pretty scathing reviews. Anybody have a good experience?

I'm getting ready to do a cycle and found out I have a large cyst on one side. Anyone else go through this? Drugs or surgery?

Any recommendations for vitamins for the men? Dealing with male infertility.

At what point do you decide to switch labs when IVF isn’t working. I’ve had one cycle so far, and 2 FETs with an AA and AB embryos (both genetically tested), and no luck yet. No underlying infertility issues (doing IVF for genetic reasons) so I’m kind of confused as to why I’m not having success. I have one AB embryo left and if that doesn’t work I don’t know if I should stick with the same RE/lab or go somewhere else? Like how do you know if it’s you or them that’s the problem?

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

Is it crazy to start a new job while newly pregnant?

For pregnant women who have had prior pregnancies/losses but no living children, do you consider yourself a FTM? When people ask if this is your first, do you share that it’s not your first pregnancy? This is my third pregnancy and would be my first living child; it’s been on my mind as I head into the second tri (which is when I lost my last baby).

I've started my ivf shots (leuprolide and estradiol) for a frozen transfer next month. I got invited to an NFL game in a few weeks that I desperately want to attend but the game would be during my shot time.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I can't imagine the stadium will let me bring needles in. Did you just do the shot early or late and hope for the best?

Are there any tests you can get done to understand your fertility? I have PCOS and cannot start trying until next year or two. I would like to know if there will be any issues with conceiving due to my PCOS. I’m 29 right now. I asked my OBGYN and she said that unless I start trying, there’s not much in terms of testing she can do and that she wouldn’t recommend it. Has anyone ever gotten any fertility tests done to understand if you’ll have future issues?

Does anyone have experience with surrogacy? If so, how did you find an agency or surrogate?
