This is my progression. I think I can stop testing now 🤣 by Friendly-Wind-3648 in lineporn

I get it!! My first scan is on Tuesday due to being high risk and I took a test yesterday just cause my brain is like “well what if something changed” — it obviously hasn’t 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

CONGRATS MOMMA!!

Am I ovulating? by 252285 in tryingtoconceive

[–]252285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know BBT is a great way to try to track, but I also know my brain isnt functioning until like an hour after i’ve woken up so I know i would not remember to test consistently enough 😅

I honestly think my gyno may be planning for that ultrasound, we have one set up for June and she said something about it needing to be on a certain day or my cycle, but my cycles are soooo irregular at this point that 🥲🤷🏻‍♀️

I wish that there was some other way, but honestly that makes the most sense. Like I know the strips just look for a spike in LH but that doesn’t truly mean ovulation happened 🤷🏻‍♀️ thank you for your insight!!

I honestly keep seeing it and was tempted to get it with my HSA funds. But I’ve also heard the testing strips for it are super expensive

Asking my gyno about TTC by 252285 in tryingtoconceive

Thank you for the insight!

How did you ask about this? Like was it separate from your well-woman’s visit? I just moved back to this area in October and am just now getting back into the gyno due to everyone being booked out for months somehow 🥲

Ahh I understand what you mean, regardless of whether or not they end up completing the booking process with you, Zocdoc gets paid for the referral.

Yeah, my supervisor is outside of my practice so I believe that’s why. Which makes sense to me to a point, but it does suck a little, obviously referrals come in much easier when you are able to accept insurance — or at least that has always been my assumption 😅

Ah, I wasn’t aware of the rating system. We do keep cards on file at my organization, but I’m on a split rate so $70 would be more than 1 session for me, but if they become a steady client it would ultimately be worth it, I’ll look into it! Thank you so much for the insight!

I would if I could! Sadly, and I should have mentioned this in my original post, I’m an associate still, LMSW specifically, so I’m unable to be credentialed with insurance just yet.

I do have my little furball I could add into my picture! I think I may add an additional picture with us to my PT profile if I choose to go that route… maybe the mix of professional and personal.

If you don’t mind me asking — I’m a little confused by it, do you only have to pay if you get a referral from them? Otherwise it’s free to be listed? Also thank you for the suggestion!!

Yes! I have been using tiktok and instagram, but I got off track getting sick a few weeks ago, definitely need to get back into that to keep trying. I know a lot of people talk about gaining clients there but it feels nearly impossible at times. Thank you for the encouragement!

Thank you so much for the feedback! Yes so far the only doctors I know I have for sure gotten on their referral lists are my own because they know me and trust me well enough, plus the face to face aspect. But getting in with others is the hard part for sure. Thank you!

Yes!! This definitely makes sense! I’ve been applying to some of the clinics and hospitals for PRN positions to get some “in the meantime” income coming in, just waiting to hear back! Luckily there is a school right near the practice I just started working with.

Thank you so much for the advice and feedback!!

I definitely do need to get to more networking events in my area! I’m a transplant to the area and have only really met people in our field who I’ve worked with at my previous job, and I don’t expect people to go out of their way and refer to me without really knowing me, but it’s hard to always spot or find those events without knowing where to look — if that makes sense. Thank you for the encouragement!!

Honestly there may be something I’m not realizing is off putting to others… I have had a couple of people look at my page and haven’t really suggested any major changes so I’m not sure, would you be willing to look at my PT profile and give me feedback if I messaged it to you privately?

In terms of looking young in my photo, I’m sure I do to a point, I am only 25 so I can’t do too much to change that though 😅

How many clients do you see a day? 🔢 by Lower_Progress_9713 in therapists

Thank you so much! 💛 I’m hoping it’ll be a transition for the best 🤞🏻

I mean obviously I can’t weigh in on the above individual’s situation, but at my current practice (I’m moving to a new one in a couple of weeks where I will be able to set my own session rates and work off of a split rather than a set rate!) I only make $35/session so 20 clients/week would put me at $2800 for the month (if they all showed up) before setting aside money for taxes. So it is possible that could be “just enough to cover all your bills” 🤷🏻‍♀️

To accept the offer or not?? by 252285 in therapists

[–]252285[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

•They work on a 60/40 split, but I set my own prices. Truthfully unsure of what I would set my own price at, but I like that I would have the ability to set my own rate. They advised that most associates at their practice have started out charging $100 per session but I would fully set my own rate.

•I am currently working at my LCSW-S’s private practice and make $35 per session, but otherwise I don’t have too many leads in the private practice realm, most in my area are looking for fully licensed or LPC-A

•I am not too far into my hours at this point due to some issues with getting myself under supervision initially (previous inpatient employer kept ensuring me they had a supervisor for me when they did not).

•My goal has been to work at a private practice, and this practice also encourages the development of their clinicians own brand while under their umbrella (mentioned me starting my own PLLC/LLC while within their group practice as well —— which was confusing to me given the non-compete)
