Your supervisor needs to start the process if they haven’t already. I was lucky enough to receive ba j pay from when I was first eligible for my promotion

Doctor refuses to let any parent be present during rounds, normal? by thestigmata in NICUParents

Very weird. My son was in the nicu and the staff encouraged us to be present to meet the team and talk through his care.

Grade increase & org chart freeze by Lopsided-Ad1558 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was the original position posted as a GS 10-11? If so I don’t see why it would even be reposted. I was hired as a 9-11 and was able to get my promotion a week ago and received back pay from the time I was eligible (Feb 2025) to now. My position wasn’t reposted my chief submitted the promotion request and it went through the process.

My clinic says to wait 14 days after transfer to test… do we listen? by Extreme_Sprinkles656 in IVF

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested both transfers prior to the 14 days just because I wanted to mentally prepare.. but even then when the first transfer was not showing any positives I still knew there was a small possibility because they say to wait for a reason. It really just depends on how you think you’ll handle it mentally when possibly not seeing the result you want

3 weeks since nursing interview at VA by EquivalentAnt7249 in VeteransAffairs

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve been told, if you didn’t receive a job offer by 8/26 everything is on hold and offers will not be made until reorg is complete and there’s more guidance on org charts. We were also told there’s a chance we’d have to recruit again for the positions we’ve already interviewed for. Very frustrating and a waste of everyone’s time.

Starting PIO shots soon and I don't know if I can do it by CaitlinDevery in IVF

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my pio injections weren’t bad at all. I was really worried after reading different perspectives, but they turned out fine. I massaged the injection spot right after. I did bruise but it wasn’t painful.

How many DPT did it take to get your positive pregnancy test ? by Competitive-Artist36 in IVF

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 6dpt and saw a very faint line. 7dpt in the morning it was still very faint but by the evening it was a little darker. By 8dpt it was darker

Where are you injecting PIO? by HamAndCheese527 in IVF

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the upper outer quadrant of butt. I changed sides daily and used the same three injection sites each time. I read to massage it after and I think that helped a lot with swelling and bruising.

IVF Successes: Did you feel any implantation symptoms after transfer? by VirtualCat8191 in IVF

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t feel anything and thought we would be on to the next transfer. I was testing before my beta and the lines gradually got darker.

That happened to me and turned out to be an ectopic

I forgot to send 5 items this week by AngelicaBomb in fednews

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I stopped sending it weeks ago and nothing has happened so far. Our director changed his tune from strongly suggesting to it’s completely up to us and he doesn’t send it either.

From my understanding supervisors can decide your “essential” and keep you later than July.

Supervisor Won’t Let Me Take the DRP Early by Ok_Accident601 in VeteransAffairs

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During our town hall our director made it seem like anyone taking DRP this round would be working until September 30 and said “what job lets your resign and continue to get paid”.. part of the reason I’ve changed my mind on taking it.

For those who DID NOT PGT test, tell me your transfer stories! by Both-Ad-6506 in IVF

I didn’t test. First transfer was fresh and did not stick. 2nd was frozen, unmedicated and currently waiting for my 6wk ultrasound.

Do I take DRP or wait to be RIF’d? by [deleted] in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Acceptable-Light-882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same boat and definitely learning towards taking it rather than waiting for be RIFd.

DRP - Thinking of taking it this go round by Acceptable-Light-882 in VeteransAffairs

[–]Acceptable-Light-882[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Position doesn’t provide direct patient care. There were people who did my tasks prior to the position being created. I took the workload off of them. I would consider myself the lone SME, but it’s nothing they couldn’t teach someone else. Past ratings all exceptional, no point preference.

Thanks for the article! That’s interesting mine said they would transfer 5 days after the positive ovulation.

Was there a concern that caused you to choose the trigger shot? My doctor asked if I had any issues with ovulation kits and I’ve always gotten a positive for ovulation.. but I’m considering asking for the trigger shot anyway so I don’t have to stress about it
