No need to say infertility sucks and affects your life and relationship as well as of course your sex life. Anything you found helpful to keep your and your partners sex drive and sex life pleasant? 🥵🔥🤭
Usually we take train to a different city and then bike from there but train are only getting more expensive and more crowed. What are you favorite places to bike to around Brussels. Thank you 🚲
The local pharmacist says it doesn't exist in Belgium. I have a hard time believing it. Does anyone know where to find it? Thank you :)
We're about to TTC, and I would like to avoid retinol and endocrine-disrupting creams. Any success with more organic options? My skin is aging, I have lots of sunspots (I use SPF), and I still have pimples. Thank you :)
I am checking if not every day, every other day, and appartement seam to show up already sold. I am very confused.
I am not talking best salary, that’s just boring. I am talking smaller silly perks. Who has the best cafeteria? Nicest office? Yoga at work? Permission to bring your dog to the office? All you can eat cookies? AC? 🤣
My spouse and I are facing big life decisions, going back to school, changing jobs, countries, everything is up in the air and we are considering anything and everything and also it’s opposite. Wondering if there would be book, maybe even workbooks that could be helpful to us. My goal is to feel empowered in the decision and feel like we have communicated well and are on the same page. Thank you for your recommendations.
Wondering if anyone has experience creating a litter box / potty box for their dog on a terrasse or balcony using mulch and what is their experience with it. I read online the mulch needs to be composted only once or twice a year and I wonder if that’s true. 💩
The committee asked me unprofessional, irrelevant and feeling like trick questions. I felt like they were trying to put me down not in a competitive challenging way by asking hard question but in the most irrelevant and pity ways. They didn’t describe anything positive the job could offer, anything positive the school does and they insisted I would have to be under their authority - which kind of makes sense but is a really weird think to say in interview especially if you’re unwilling to discuss any of the positive things you have to offer. I am sad for these people.
What should I do?
Honestly, if someone were to know it, it would change my life.
I had a 3cm fibroid removed through hysteroscopy for fertility reasons. I am almost three weeks post op and I am exhausted (I have also been travelling) I wonder if it’s related. Were you exhausted post surgery and for how long? Thank you ❤️
I am wondering if someone could share their experience with IUI or IVF with Kaiser in SoCal. I have many questions. Did you get it covered since the last bill (SB 729)? If yes, did you have to go straight to IVF, or were IUI covered? Does your partner have to have the same Kaiser insurance? Thank you 😄
I just had an intra uterine fibroid removed during a hysteroscopy. My doctor recommended in a written note that wait two to three months before my partner and try to conceive again. I don’t understand if he meant to use birth control during two to three months of just not to stress about trying to conceive as it might take time. I would ask them but they are on vacation. I am wondering if anyone received similar recommendations, thank you.
This is both a success story and an advice needed so I didn’t put a flaire. First success: I went through surgery three days ago and they removed a bid calcified walnut sized fibroid off my uterus, it was long and painful and feel so strong and accomplished I am excited and hopeful it helps my spouse and I conceive a child.
Now for the advices, I was pms spotting before the intervention, I was about to have my period. The Dr told me my uterus lining changed live during the procedure and that I started having my period on them (their word choice not mine lol). Both the Dr and the two nurses were excited to see that and looked at the monitor with great interest. Glad my inside was intertwining to them. But that was three days ago and since then I have not bled one drop, not one drop, I am still waiting and now late for my period. I feel like my cervix is pissed off and refuses to open after being forcefully open (I know it sounds crazy) but I just don’t understand why I am not bleeding.
Here are my questions: any recommendation to help start the bleeding? I would feel better knowing it’s happening. I also need to do blood work 2-4 days after the start of my period, I scheduled it to day 4 after the intervention thinking I would eventually start bleeding but I am at day 3 and still no blood so I don’t know how to count. Is it possible that all three professionals were wrong about what was happening inside of me? And than why would I be late anyways? Has anything like this happened to you? All wisdom appreciated! 🙏🏻
This is happening in Arizona USA. Both dogs are super cute, very dirty and matted. Intact male 30 pound, female 20 pounds no collars. I gave them water, food and a little goat milk. I also separated them in two parts of my yard because the lady seamed frustrated at being hump. Everyone is yapping a lot, both asking for attention/affection and they want to get inside my house. They don’t look aggressive or scared but they look stressed out. Male has diarrhea and the female is limping. I plan to take them to the shelter for check up. They both scratched me and the male nipped at me but didn’t break skin. Do I need to rush to get them tested for rabies?
The title says it all. I just have things I want to work on today/this week and some back-burner stuff that I don't think should be archived. I still hope to work on them when I can, but I don't want my folder project to have like 20 projects in them I need some hierarchy. Would love recommendations.
I am struggling with an administrative issue, and I am also genuinely curious, as I don't understand why it's so complicated.
A very supportive LP put me on leave from work for a full year for anxiety and trauma. At the time they recommended, we decided it was the best course of action for long-term healing. It's been challenging, obviously, but I am incredibly proud of the progress I have made during the leave (I did talk therapy, sex therapy, conversational hypnosis, became a trauma-informed yoga teacher, took a life-changing somatic class, and learned about parts therapy - everything was so helpful, and I am so grateful I was able to focus on me).
My employer immediately accepted my LP leave request, so I didn't think twice. The LP who put me on leave at the time also filled out the State-required paperwork (CA EDD). It took months, but eventually the state asked for more information, which my LP provided, then the state asked for even more, every time denying my disability claim. Now my LP has left professional practice, and the office they used to work at won't take me on as a new patient because they are full, and they also won't fill out the paperwork since they don't know my history. Both my GP and even an in-network psychiatrist say they can't help because the leave has been requested by another provider.
Am I guessing there must be some fear of liability or lawsuits? I am thinking maybe my first LP gave me too much time, and no one else wants to back up a request for so much time. It's hard for me to regret accepting such a long leave because the progress I have made really does feel life-changing (yeah!), but this is a very challenging situation, and I would love not to lose my job out of it. Obviously, if someone has a recommendation for a solution, I will happily hear it, but I am also genuinely curious to understand why all the professionals I have contacted say they can't help. Is one year off completely ridiculous and excessive for CAD and Trauma? Is it risky to follow up on someone else's evaluation of a patient? I think understanding what is happening would help me accept it.
Thank you in advance!
My out-of-network super supportive psychologist put me on a one-year leave for Chronic Anxiety Disorder and Trauma. My work approved it, so I took it. (Side note: I worked on myself, received help, my symptoms improved, and I feel much better equipped. Yeah, and thank you.)
Now I need some EDD paperwork filled out + paperwork for my private insurance. Unfortunately, my psychologist quit their practice and I need to find another provider. I am only hearing depressing stories of Kaiser denying EDD and not being helpful with mental health. In addition to that, I received 12 months leave from my previous provider (which is a long time), so I am worried Kaiser will never approve this/fill out paperwork for that long. Wondering if anyone has success stories or words of encouragement to share with me before I embark on the journey of making calls. Also, if success is unheard of, perhaps I prefer not to try, so feel free to share your horror stories as well. Thank you for sharing.

The frump tower has already been discussed here but I am also thinking of the cranberries zombie song played on the piano in episode 4 and Wednesday criticizing ideology in the first episode.
I have an upcoming trip, and I would love to know what kind of good stuff I might be able to look for, maybe even find. I come from a very different biome (the desert). Any recommendations of books, websites, or social media accounts to learn more about upstate New York foraging? Thanks a bunch!
